The funeral was held yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock from the Sa-

O'Grady officiating. Interment was
in the Ely cemetery.
Out of the esteem in which this
pioneer family is held Notwithstanding
the severe weather the church was
filed at the funeral services. every
seat being taken. and through the
greater part of the service several
were standing at the entrance. The
services consisted of the singing high
mass and prayers in behalf of the re
pose of the soul of the deceased, which
constituted the Catholic funeral rites
in their full solemnity. The address
of Rev. O'Grady, in English. was n OF
the most eloquent and pathetic funeral
sermons ever heard in Ely. He told
of the fine Christian life and ideals OF
the deceased. of her central thought
and ambition on this earth TO make
herself worthy of her Savior.

as his hired man in Ely. He has
wired through and his message has
been phoned to Baker, then horse
backed from Baker to Garrison and
back again, and then told over the

contain a denial that he vas help
less.
More fortunate has been the west
ern star route delivery. Joe Oxbor-
row, the contractor, has less distance
Ito go and had the cards stacked in
his favor by being at home and near
his own horses when the storm broke.
But he was days behind. Mail that
should have come Monday arrived in
fine shape Thursday night in a snug
lsled behind six mighty roadsters of
the ~four-footed model. 1t went back
as it came, with the hands of the
contractor himself holding hard on
the reins Friday morning.
To further places like Sunnyside,
Nyala Arrowhead and Duckwater its
delivery is doubtful. 1t is said to
have reached the Moorman ranch on
its way to Hamilton, but word of its
arrival is not back.
From Cherry Creek across to
Schellbourne and over the pass to
Aurum there seldom is a wait from
snow. The contractor there has to
use horses every winter and he is
never ~unprepared. From Aurum 20
Cleveland ranch and to 1ippett is no
more of a question, for those carriers
usually are prepared and have horses
or can get them.
But II does not make a great deal
of difference in the long run. Uncle
Sans mail on star routes never car
ries important matter. II the people
there have real business they have
long ago learned to not wait for the
mails but to. go themselves. The loss
of five days more or less to them in
mail delivery is merely that much
delay in getting mail order parcel
post and used tire price lists that
they never feel the necessity of hav-
ing to go after In person. So the
loss Of time or the missing of a few
mails are the mere omissions OF for
malities and the interruptions of
habits that were formed years age
when such habits amounted to some
thing. But to the contractor 1t has
a meaning and he must make the
trip or not get paid for it. That IL
all there is to get excited about.

NEVER KILL AN EAGLE
SAYS OLD.T|ME TRAPPER

II is against the law to kill an
eagle in Noyada-the eagle bird.
and there Is no use of 1t anyway, ae-
! cording to an ,old-time trapper who
has liberated many Of them after
catching them in bis coyote traps.
The eagle is the only member OF
the animal kingdom that | know Of
that will fight you when you
come up TO il in a trap he says.
Catch a hawk, a crow. 4 maybe or
any other bird and IL will put up a
desperate fight when the trappor ap-
pears. But an eagle is as dociIs as
a child and even a great deal more
so, ave that II will try from fear to
pull away but makes no attempt 10
harm its captor.
Always be sure and LET the noble
eagle have its liberty. Nothing Is To-
be gained by killing ii. not even the
imaginary sport of taking the life of
a wild bird. And the Joy of seeing
1t rise above you after you have lib
Grated IL and soar around In the skies
until IL reaches an altitude measured
in miles is more OF a delight than to
witness Its death or that of any OF
the feathered genera of the earth and
the skieS.

from rising high and soaring away.
Many a time | have trapped eagles
In settings Of three No 4 traps. the
traps being wired together but not
staked. and the birds have gotten
away a few rods only. I have al
ways feared that IL they had had
more time they would have gone into
the skies without leaving a trace. or
a possibility of releasing them, and
still there being the possibility OF II
being a coyote. but now that this

not the strength to rise, for eagles
certainly must catch and fly away

kill rabbits. too. but that is done on
the ground and they can devour them
there, but ash in a wide lake must

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1923.
SPRING

Spring makes its official de-
but today, but before we speak
OF Spring itself we might add a
word about that accompaniment
OF the season ~ Spring fever
During the next two months it
is quite likely that Spring fever
is going to be quite common. and
although it is not explained in
the same way by all the psychol-
ogists and physicians most PEG
pie will heartily agree that it is
a very real and not exactly an
unpleasant thing.
Some writer's tell us that
Spring fever is nothing but a le-
thargic drowsiness, caused by the
poisons accumulated during the
physical inaction of winter. We
can help nature eliminate these
poisons by taking long walks
breathing deeply OF the fragrant
spring air. or starting to hoe tn,
garden.
There Is reason to believe
however, that Spring fever is not
entirely physical There is .
good deal of the phychic in il
also. 1t is partly physic insofar
as it is reaction from winter.
The contrast between the first
warm weather and the cold OF
winter unconsciously reminds II,
OF the sluggishness of the troph
les, home of prehistoric man. Or
perhaps Spring fever is an in
heritance from the times wher
the cave man, after long and
monotonous Winter in his den.
strolled out to bask lazily in the
warm spring sunlight.
Agreeable as TO the gentle las
situde of Spring fever often is
we must not surrender ourselves
to 1t too readily, for there is more
work to be done in Spring than
perhaps in any other seaSon-and
the man who abandons himself
to Spring fever will not do his
share of it.
With this warning emphasized.
permit us to observe that the de-
lights of Spring cannot easily be
exaggerated. 1t is the time when
the sap starts rising in the trees.
Grass sprouts green and plant
lite buds. Chipping birds pause
ON their way north and the bear
leaves his pit. Timber wolves
stop running in packs and mate.
That is Spring-the sunrise of
a new period of life. The back
yard gardener stirs and the farm
er whistles joyously in the fields.
Coli deNotees smack their lips.
the hsherman> goes over his
tackle. and the small bows
swarm with marbles. basebails
and kites.
Spring is the time to take al
new lease on life. to get fresh
start. Fill your lungs with fresh
air and go to it, The best thing
about Spring is that it is a pre-
Jude to another round of intense
human activity. Except. o
course, for the gentleman who
has Spring fever 800 DAYS OF the

MUST Re EXPLAINED

The National Civil Service Re
form League is, right in insis-
ting that President Harding ex-
plain fully the dismissal a wear
ago OF y officials of the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing. Even
though it is generally believed
that they were dismissed on
trumped up charges to make
room for a favored few. the re-
sponsible authorities should not
be allowed to escape their part
IN the alleged conspiracy.
A serious case of official honor
Is involved IN these cases. The
principle and security of place
under civil service regulations
were dehed and the amends made
