OLD AND WARY ANIMALS ARE
HARD TO TRAP AND SHOOT,

1t is one thing to hunt predatory
animals in practically virgin territory
and make a spectacular killing, and
quite another to go into district
where only the wicked old offenders
that have eluded everybody are left
to catch. Hunter John n. Martin was
sent by the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to some sheep ranges near
Plainview, S. D., adjoining the Chey-
enne Indian Reservation, and found
that during the preceding winter and
spring the country had been hunted
and trapped over by bounty hunters,
with the result that all pups and
young animals, or those easy to take,
were gone; sheep losses, nevertheless
were occurring constantly.
Working steadily for two and
half months, Hunter Martin took 35
coyotes and bobcats, all old animals.
About two-thirds of them bore evil
dence of having been in traps from
which they had escaped, or of having
been shot and wounded at some time
previous. In addition to this kill,

PESHASTIN ITEM.
(BY Another Corresnnnde,

(By Another Correspondent.
In the Nov. 10 issue the statement
was made that should a rural route
go out of Peshastin, the patrons of
the route would receive their mail
one day earlier than they do now
from the present route out of Cash
mere, which statement was an error,
as the same train that delivers the
Cashmere mail delivers the Peshastin
mail also, with very few minutes diff
ference in time. However, the mail
trains from both directions have been
from eight to ten hours late since the
strike, which fact has worked a hard
ship on the office forces of the post
office and the carriers as well as the
patrons of the routes. 1t is a fact
the carrier out of Peshastin could
serve his patrons about an hour earl.
Ter, as he would not have as much
mail to handle in the office. Never
theless, the mail he delivered would
be of the same dates as the mail the
Cashmere carrier delivered on that
day.

Newberry of Michigan forestalled
further fight on him in the United
States senate by resigning seat he
never should have been permitted to
occupy, realizing his case had cost
the republican party other seats in
the senate, though loath to admit the
full facts. His experience in attempt
ing to hold seat in the senate. Sc
cured at such an exhorbitant OUTLAY
of money, and his final relinouish-
ment of the place, may be of use
hereafter as guage in political af-
fairs. Too much money must not be
used in a political campaign, and in
the neighborhood of two hundred
thousand dollars, which is what was
spent IN Newberry's behalf, may be
deemed as very much beyond the
limit.

Next Thursday will be Thanksgiv-

thing has not gone just to our liking
during the season, we shall all have
much to be thankful for We live in

we are industrious we need not go
hungry nor without shelter; we have
protection of stable government

brate with thanksgiving next Thurs

THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO

Martin reported that 50 poisoned
bats were taken. The bounty system
has been abandoned in many places
as result of demonstrations by the
Biological Survey, as it has been
found that better results in stopping
livestock losses are obtained when
a hunter is hired to give all his time
to hunting, trapping, and poisoning
and is held responsible for destroying
the actual livestock killers.

Congress was called in special ses-

purpose-as the president indicates
in his message-to provide some
method of saving the great govern
ment fleet of freight and passenger
carrying ships from becoming total
loss. The cost of this fleet is given
as about three billion dollars. There
is no hope of the government ever be-
ing reimbursed-in money-for this
outlay, but any feasible plan that the
president has for utilizing the boats
ought to be given fair consideration.

Members of the local branch OF

their first public appearance last night,
when a dozen OF the white robed and

by six uniformed kaights. They rain
taind absolute silence through,Lt the
showing OF the picture, and when yer
scene depicting Ku Klux Klansmen
OF the reconstruction days was thrown
on the screen the latter-day knights
in the theater boxes would stand up,
their bodies erect, and each would
point a finger at the picture as il was
unfolded
Where the klansmen came from and
where they went after the show seem
ed to be as deep mystery and puzzle
as were the old queries, elbow old is

son ?"
The showing OF the picture, "Birth

just about that time the twelve figures.
robed in spotless white, and with the
bright red cross on their breasts, enter
ed the lobby.
Tickets were purchased, and the men
filled in, six on one side and six on
the other. In the mi-darkness Of the
theater the spectacle was somewhat
weird and uncanny. Grown-ups look
ed around more or less surprised and
startled, while eyes of youngsters bulg-
ed, as if fearing some impending ca
lamity or disaster Up in the "Tim

lery all was as still as death, and every
fellow riveted his attention bn the
"kluckers," as they were called by
some.
Bystanders in front Of the theater
said the uniformed men came down
North Market street, and that none
appeared to see the parade until the
figures had reached the theater.
After the show the Klansmen left
the boxes, and are understood to have
made their exit from the building BY
way Of rear door.
1t was reported that they were
whIsked away in two large automo-
oiles, and that uniforms we're taken
off while in the cars.

Great Old Man.


Last Friday our sanctum had as It's
visitor Jack Clark, OF Camp 81, OF
the Pardee & Curtin Lumber Com
pany, on Gauley River. Clark is a
hardy grizzled veteran bearing the
ordinary Characteristic garb Of woods
man. A long flowing beard hung down
below his waistline and we were struck
forcibly Of his Grip Van Wrinkle" ap-
pearancc by a casual look, but on
inquiring his age, he gave the good
year 1914 as being the time he first
saw the light, having been born in
New York State April 20, 1914, which
if correct would make him OF the
misty age Of lOS at his April birth
day. Questioned further as TO hin
history he stated that he had been
married five times in his short career
and was the father of IS children.
He said laconically that most of his
children were dead, only twenty be-
ing alive. His fifth wife, according
to his story, died 8 years ago while
giving birth to twins.
Clark's family was divided as fol-
lows: IL children by his first wife,
10 by his second, 7 by his third, 4
by his fourth and 2 by his fifth
During the timber era of PennSyl-
vania and New York States, Clark
worked at the tie business in those
States, having spent the greater part
Of his life in Potter county, Pa. When
Curtin began operating on Hominy
he migrated to this county and has
been rendering continuous service in
the woods OF Hominy section since
Clark is a little above the usual
height, is broad shoudered and stands
straight as a boy of IS. He has lived
long past his generation of people
and has little knowledge of any who
we're once his friends OF youth. His
account for his longevity is that he
has always lived the simple life, obey
cd the laws of nature and has breath
ed pure air "a hours in every day
Of his life. Clark is now engaged
in the tie business and says he has
little trouble in making as many ties
as he could in the early days of his
life. For the past several years his
eyesight has been almost perfect,
wearing glasses only when reading, he
having regained his second eyesght
with the single orb he possesses, the
sight of one of his optics having been
destroyed years ago in an accident
He keeps abreast of the times, being
subscriber to many of the leading
papers of the nation and can discuss
with much interest any of the i'm
portant questions of the day.
If any one can produce a greater
phenomena from a standpoint Of years
coupled with physical endurance than
Jack Clark of Wilderness District.
we'd like for him to be trotted out

Be Courteous.

Some men will grant a favor so I'M
graciously that it is pain rather than
a pleasure. Others will refuse a re-
quest, yet so kindly that it gives no
pain. There are some men with whom
every one loves to do business; others
whom all will avoid if they can. A
mans manners may thus be capital in
trade worth many thousand dollars.
The merchants in New York will
often give one young man several hun
dred dollars more year than another,
simply because his winning manners
attract customers. There are shops in
all large towns which are favorites
with all in consequence of the courtesy
OF one or two Of the clerks. The only
way to cultivate this virtue is to prac
tice it all the time-at home and
abroad.
