thickly wooded regions thereabolts,
which are exactly suited to the style Of
warefare he prefers.
Many parts of the region are almost
impossible of access and in addition the
tribes living there are turbulent and

erning board be nominated from
each community of the Valley
by persons who contributed to
the fund, and that the nominee
be elected by the chamber of
commerce in that city.
The plan calls for a budget of $4,000

A New Kind of Bear?

They have found new kind of
bear in a corner of British Column
bia. At least, the discoveries claim
it is a new species. The bear is
white, but is not a polar bear.
When the first ones were found, it
was claimed they were simply
albino bears. Then a number of
others were found, and several
were killed and one was captured
alive and is now on exhibition at
Victoria. Those who claim it is a
new kind of bear point to the fact
that it has brown eyes, whereas
albinos have pink ones.
But still the scientists won't re-
lent. They say it is an albino, and
that albinos sometimes have brown
eyes.
It's an interesting dispute. Ger
tainly if they are albinos it is de-
cidedly unusual to find so many of
them in one spot, and to find all
members of the family equally
white.

Antelope in Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon of the Colo
RADIO is thirteen miles across from
brim to brim. The horse trail is
twenty-nine miles long. In the can
yon are a number of plateaus, COW
cred with grass and brush, which
are a number of miles in area. The
National Park Service is going to
try to introduce antelope herds on
these plateaus. If the attempt is
successful, the Grand Canyon will
boast of considerable wild life
what with the great Kaibab deer
herd on the north rim and the
mountain sheep along the river.
For Cold Water.
Travellers in the west carry wa
ter bags on the sides of their cars
when crossing hot or arid regions.
The bag, which is always moist on
the outside, keeps water cold even
on the hottest day.

work, marking each edge so you
will know which is which. You
can get these axes in the very small
two pound weight, with the edge
protected by leather sheath. It is
much more practical than the usual

LenrOOt a Candidate.

Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot will be
a candidate in the 1926 primaries
in Wisconsin to succeed himself in
the United States senate.
Lenroot has made no formal an
nouncement. He will make none for
some time to come, but his hat is
in the ring. The senator has in
formed close friends that he will
make the race unless the condition
of Mrs. Lenroot, who has been i'll,
should prevent him from absenting
himself to participate in an active
campaign.
If the fact that Senator Lenroot
had decided to be a candidate was
not accepted when the Badger
solon went to St. Paul as the presi-
dents personal guest, and promin-
emily exhibited himself with Mr..
Coolidge on the rear platform of
the special train as it sped through
Wisconsin, it has been abundantly
confirmed by the senator's COM
ments on the trip. To add to the
overwhelming evidence Lenroot's
mind is settled on entering the
campaign, it is learned that the
senator is contemplating an early
speaking tour which will carry
him to every corner of the state.
Il think the president must have
been convinced by what he saw and
heard" Senator Lenroot commented
on the presidents trip to St. Paul.

Life A Funny Proposition.

Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves it
against his will.
During his stay on earth his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and misunderstanding.
In his infancy he is an angel. In
his boyhood he is a devil. In his
manhood he is everything from a
lizard up. If he raises family he
is chump. If he doesn't raise a
family he is too selfish. If he
raises check he is crook. If he
IS poor man he is bad manager
and has no sense. IF he is rich he
is smart but dishonest. If he is in
politics he is a CRATER. If he is
not In politics he is an undesirable
citizen. If he goes to church he
IS a hypocrite. If he doesn't he is
sinner. If he gives to charity, it
is for show. If he doesn't he is a
tightwad.
When he first comes into the
world everyone wants to kiss him.
Before he leaves the world every
body wants to kick him.
If he dies young there was a
great future before him. IF he lives
to ripe old age, he is in the way.

Today every automobile is po-

merely used as a vehicle to carry
camping equipment, others are vir-

conveniences. The sheep wagon,

combined with comfort, they con-

canvas, much like the old covered
wagons, except that the canvas is
stretched tight over bows. The
front part of the wagon contains
a stove, and two benches along the
sides which also serve as cupboards.
The bed is In the rear, and under
the bed reached from the back of
the wagon, is a good sized store
house for food supplies, etc. This
part of the wagon is deeper than
the front part-it almost touches
the axle. A dust proof door in the
rear of the wagon provides access
to it. The wagons are used by
sheep herders for following the
hocks in winter.
