Der of years and which have become

Warden, arrangements have been
made to furnish seed such as buck
wheat, cOWpeas, rape, vetch, soybeans,

to help them survive the severe Win
ter months. Any farmer interested
is asked to notify Richard Browning,
George Browning, or Mr.. Riggs and

.$Iooo PAYDAY

According to word recently received in this office, the fishing season in the Boring
 Sea this sumner, is not apt to come up to the usual catch. Although .628 boats out of a poss- ibIo 75o are fishing in that area, rough veet- ther squally~ winds and: vory limited season will cause cons iderab1e shrinking in tho * usual "pay-day" out there. It is being conserT atively estimated that the fishermen will on1! y iroceive an average of about 5000 for the sea- son, according. to Monte Norris, formerly of this town, who is now employed by the Libby Cannery in Nalznek. ...~: ..*
