Too much liquid was the cause
of all the wobbly driving and near
smashups that characterized Kenne-
wick avenue Monday morning, but
it wasn't the kind Of liquid that
comes in bottles. It WAS plain fro
zen water. As q matter Of fact,
more money was lost through the
waste Of time than by collisions,
for the people who work in stores
along the street couldn't get lick
of work done, what with running
to the window every time Q car
tried to slide up to the curb.
Fancy figures that would have
done credit to . Swiss skating
champion were executed impromp-
tu by roadsters, coupes, trucks and
sedans as unwary drivers applied
brakes and accelerator, invariably
at the wrong moment. One vehicle
got obstreperous and charged into
solitary and defenseless. gas
pump, which, being empty, had
done no one any harm for quite
. while. At noon, hordes Of school
children: risked their chance of be-
ing on time to watch with delight
each new victim Of Old Man Ice.
Altogether, it was a merry fore
noon.

Criminal of Animal World
Leads Hard Life In Winter

The Rattlesnake Hills and the
Horse Heaven hills are the habi-
tat of these animals, but once in
a while coyote is caught near a
farm when food is scarce. The
Yakima Indian reservation is the
breeding ground for animals that
later migrate to this territory.
Coyote hides bring, in addition
to the bounty, from $12 to SIS
each when sold to furriers. Badger
hides also bring in a good income
for trappers.
Thel aw requires that the right
foot Of the animal must be shown
as evidence for the bounty. The
hides must be brought in and the
foot cut off at the knee before
the county auditor within 80 davs
after the killing. The county paws
the bounty, and is reimbursed hv
the state from it's $4,000 bounty
fund. Running in bounties from
other counties is punished by inn
prisOnment, a heavy fine or both.

It's a hard life for the coyotes,
lynx and bobcats which prowl
around the barren corners of Ben
ton county. Summers are not so
bad, for there are chickens and
sheep to plumber from outlying
farms, but when winter closes down
the providers become the prey, and
if the number of skins brought in
to the county seat are any indica-
ton, a good many coyotes, lynx
and bobcats are orphans.
From November, 1928 to Noyem-
ber, 1929, s45 coyotes, six lynx
and "a wildcats netted trappers
s1045 in bounties, according to Z.
o. Keene, county clerk. Coyotes
bring 81 and lynx and bobcats 20
each. Trapping is the method used
to catch these predatory animals.
Trappers have to be skilled in the
art of setting traps without leav-
ing any human scent to frighten
away the animals. The use Of
gloves, attracting scent and fish
bait is practised.

Mother Week
Lick Your Ozcfl

This country has had so many
weeks that it's weak-Apple
Week, Book Week, Sew ON Your
Husbands Buttons Week-all Of
which placed end to end would
reach to Penobscot seven times
and four days over. But Herb Gran
mer, postman. on Route 2, wants
more. Lickem and Stickem Week
is the proposition that he is back
ing.
Herb declares he has grown
grossly overweight from licking
too many stamps, and he can't pro-
perly appreciate the flavors be-
cause of their multitude and the
rapidity with which they are pre-
sented to his weary tongue. Herb,
therefore is all for Lickem and
Stickem Week, which he hopes will
result in the customs of everyone
licking their own stamps as a mat
ter of course, just as they scratch
their own heads. Particularly is
this measure necessary now, Gran
mer feels, as the heavy influx of
Christmas mail is just beginning,
and will grow into an overwhelni-
ing flood before December %.
Think it over, folks, then be a
broad-tongued as well as broad
minded citizen, and lick'em and
stick'em yourself.

Rotary Rig SpudS
in IA Inches Wide
Foster Turns Attention to
Second Huge Drill; Roads
Must be Repaired

The big rotary rig in the Ken
newick gas fields was started on
Wednesday Of this week, not
witnstanding the fact that is was
impossible to hold big picnic in
celebration of the event.
The well will be fourteen inches
in diameter at the top, tapering to
about eight inches at $50 feet,
where the gas level has been To-
Gated. 1t will take about six weeks,
according to Manager S. M. Fos-
ter, to hit that level, allowing for
plenty Of time for delays Of var
ious sorts.
Now that the first rig is oper-
lating satisfactorily, Foster is turn
ling his attention TO the installa-
tion of the second rig. This rig is
a duplicate of the one now running
and weighs eighty tons. The haul
ing of the first rig TO the field has
so cut up the roads that they will
have to be repaired before the next
one can be taken in. Until certain
legal requirements are met the
county will be unable to help much
with the road. Volunteer labor will
be used to patch up the weak spots
until such time as the permanent
improvements can be put in.
The Commercial Club is calling
for a work bee on the road next
| Monday. Volunteers are asked to
be at the post office at 1880 next
Monday morning, equipped with a
sharp ak or grub hoe and lunch.
Transportation viii be provided
and hot coffee viii be served at
the field. The club hopes TO have
at least forty men spend the day
on the roads in order that the de-
velopment Of the field be not de-
layed.
Those who are willing TO donate
a DAYS work are asked to call Sec
retary Carpenter at the CONNER
lcial club rooms some afternoon be-
tween now and Monday. Business
men who are unable TO participate
In the work are being asked TO hire
La substitute for that day.
The Durand drilling outfit which
recently put small rig in the
! field for the Northwestern Natur-
al Gas Co., has already reached a
depth of 100 feet, while the Fos-
ter rig will have reached that
depth before the end Of this week.
