Novel Insurance. we are in re
ceipt of a communication from War
rro.in which the author advocate the
theory of the couuty going into the
inaurance buiine, by organising a
oompauy for local inaurance, insuring
property at one-half it actual value,
the premium being collected at the
eame time and in the tame manner as
taxes are collected by the sheriff. This
; is indeed a new idea and must have
originated with the person who wrote
the ooiniuuuication.

Limb Killed His Carp, rrobably
the only sportsman in this section
who has succeeded in killing all the
carp in his lake and giving the ducks
a chance to find something to eat
there,' is David Mounastes, says the
Oregonian.- He had a trench cut
Irom his lake on Bauvio's island e as
lo drain the lake all but a place in the
center, some 250 feet across, and into
this be emptied four barrels of lime,
which iuat knocked the carp silly and
killed ever last one of them which did
not escape through the drain. He
then dammed the drain, and the rsins
filled the lake, and the vegetation on
which the ducks feed ii beginning to
grow again. He has, however, like
everyone else bad to feed the ducks
this wintor, and says he has not missed
his shoot a single Hunday all winter,
The bags he has made are nothing to
what they used to be in days gone by,
for he save there is not one duck now
whore there used to be a hundred,
but he manages to knock down about
fifteen or twenty every Sunday, which
he says is about as many as any of the
boys get. There la no doubt as to the
firacticability of killing the carp in
akea that can be drained, if enough
lime is dumped into them after the
water has been drawn off as far aa
possible, but the trouble is that when
a big June Boor cornea and covers a
large cart of the island, the earn will
find their way in again, and the kill
ing will have to be repeated.
