Being a wise little goat, even if a trifle wild, it wasted no time bemaon- ing its luckless fate, nor did it snarl and bite in futile protest. It made friends immediately with Doc, and in less than ten minutes showed him a life-time devotion. It licked his hand, nudged him for caresses, followed him about like a dog. Doc relented about the feast. The goat had a human-like fondness for beer, and Doc had to cross over to Lloyd Baker’s Accident Occur. Sunday Near and fetch his pet back in his arms.

W.^Camp SUPPLY OF BOOM STICKS GETTING SHORT Fallers and Buckers, Also Construction Crews Now Idle Probability of a complete shut down of the Clark and Wilson logging operations looms as a re sult of the longshoremen’s strike. Fallers and buckers were laid off last week end, and construc tion work has been discontinued. Length of time that the rest of the crews will remain at work depends upon the supply of boom sticks, said Supt. A. E. Baker Wednesday. Since the end of the river boat men’s strike there has been no difficulty in moving rafts, but as the mills are not using the logs the supply of boom sticks is getting short.
