The Herald makes the mistake of
saying that the council has disposed
of the old book and ladder truck for
$500. The council declined the offer of
A. O. Long although some of the mem
bers were of the opinion that the sum
should have been accepted, in view of
the fact that the (truck will never be
.again used bere.
live, and the government . has .often
recommended that steps be taken to
protect the birds and event to propo
gate the species and cause them to be
come more numerous. The states took
a hand in the matter years ago. In
Oregon and Washington there is a fine
of 125 Imposed for every offense of
this character of which a man is found
guilty. By these laws the gulls axe
protected on both aides of the Colum
bia river. Those parties who have been
seen shooting the gulls will be watched
for, and If caught will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.

wish and wish that I could fish and fish

day upon a bale of prairie hay down
where the froglet sadly walls, and fish
for salmon and for whales. When up
and down the wooden street the sun
beams tread with blistered feet, fry
ing the pitch from plney planks, oh,
give me then the mossy banks! Ah,
Where's the halo or the harp that equals
catching trout and carp down where the
whispering breezes cool the fuzzy cat
tails in the pool? For those mossy
banks I'll steer, If I can buy a case of
eggs."
