The market, for table potatoes ts holding its strength. Slightly higher prices are available at California points.

It seems as though there was a lit tle misunderstanding in regards to the cougar which was killed in this town. In the first place Frank Rees found one of his sheep that had just been killed by a cougar. He phoned to El bert Larkins to bring his dogs because they are good ones. So Larkins start ed with his dogs and gun and Eugene Cumins accompanied him. They went to Rees' place and the three of them started on the trail of the cougar in the deep snow. The dogs took out on the trail. Before they had treed the animal Frank Nicholas and C. Kandle, who were hunting wild cats, heard the dogs and took in with the rest, so they were having a nice time when Larkins' dog made his regular stump speech at the tree. That aroused the boys. They began a little faster. They came within about two hundred yards of the tree. Reea gaid: "I see him!" They went until about fifty feet of the tree. Some of the boys wanted to shoot the animal with a .22 calibre rifle. While they were arguing the point Frank Nicholas settled the ques tion with a larger gun. Larkins thinks it was his place to shoot the animal for his own dogs. The hide will be mounted and raffled later. Rev. J. L.

MAIN OFFICE 7th and Alder Streets The present high water i3 a hard ship on many of the smaller children attending school in our district. The large girls and boys have built a sort of pond and then they catch some of the little fellows and throw them in without even giving-them a chance to first take off their clothes. The little boys run into the boya toilet for safe ty, but some of the larger girls as well as one of the large boys go right in and drag them out and take them to the pond and make them wade or swim. Under such circumstances we are inclined to ask, "where is the teacher?" also, "where is the super visor?" It reminds us of our own school days twenty-five years ago. " CAN BY.
