Penitentiary is too Good for this Stripe of Man say Horsemen contemptible piece of busispent ness was attempted recently by -L- as-sen volcano, California, most of its energy in its violent eruptions of last May, according to reports received by the Forest Service and it is believed that there is little likelihood of further destructive outbreaks. Since the upheavals of May 20 and 22, the volcano has been under the observation of officers t)f the Lassen National Forest, in which the peak stands, and for the last month a volcanologist of the U. S. Geological Survey has been making a scientific study of the mountain. The investigations have confirmed the opinion that the eruption of two months ago, when a river of mud was blown out of the north side of the crater and down Hat Creek with considerable damage to Government and private property, was caused by the melting of the snow on the peak, the snow water running into the crater and being converted by the molten lava into steam. Although it is possible that the volcano is simply con- serving its energy for another outbreak, the indications are, according to the Government volcanologist on the ground, that no further eruptions are likely to occur, at least until next spring when another influx of snow water may cause a slight disturbance. The first authentic report of the damage done last May shows that early reports were greatly A register grade colts as the offspring of pure bred percheron mares which had not foaled during that season. The strung arm of the Percheron Society of reached America immediately out into the section and made an exhausted investigation of the matter. This resulted in the attempted frau being frustrated. The guilty party will be dealt with at the September meeting of the "oard of Directors of the Society. Such an attempt is not only a violation of the rules of the'P(r: chcron Society of America, but it touches every percheron breed er and the horse industry in general, especially in the section where such a thing might be done. If the attempt had been successful, a grade colt would Some have been registered. one then would have purchased an inferior animal; one which had no' prepotency or power to transmit any good qualities. The mare bred to such a mongrel would better remain unproductive. Such an act suggests one danger in the horse breeding business; it makes it imperative in buying horses for breeding purposes to carefully lock into the honesty of the salesman. Such an attempted fraud ;s of the lowest type ef trickery ard should not be tolerated. The fullest extent of the law should be dealt out to the person who has so little regard for the principles of honesty, for he is indeed a menace to society. i MRS. D. I.

Hodges who is operating on the Lucky Boy group, came in Sunday evening bringing a pocketful of samples from the Davis lease on the Lumry and Moore group; any one of the chunks would assay over $5,000 and some would easily go ' to $10,000. Mr. Hodges says the vein is 7 feet wide and that $500 per ton would be a conservative estimated average of the ledge. This particular ledge has been proven up icr a distance ot 1 m about 1,000 feet; It runs diago nally across ,tbe Lumry and Moore ground and into the Gold Queen on the north side line and has been cut by the Gold Queen people on the west side of Rocky Hollow; Last week Lumry and Moore cross cut it in their tunnel near the east boundry of their ground. Aside from what has already been proven by sinking and drifting the same ledge has been traced for over a mile east and west. It runs into the Royals on the east and straight across the Gondolas on the west. These two last properties should show considerable activity in the' very near future because of the very excellent results which are being attained in the imme- diate vicinity. Clean Town Scoring Is, now in Progress . The scoring in the Clean Town Contest will begin August iOili. the incorporated towns hi will be scored and the state the Anal results will be published. Field investigations prove thai there is a marked improvement of sanitary conditions generslly compared with last year, and a number of towns are models from the standpoint of sani and civic improvement. Many, however, are still far removed from the goal and to avoid an unfavorable showing, they must carry on a very active campaign until the completion of the scoring, It should be a matter of great oride to rank high in the list of clean towns, not to mention the vast benefit to the public health. As a direct result of improved conditions and the special measures directed against the disease .he number of typhoid case? during June was much less thai n the previous year.

C With the approach of the open season for shooting wild fowl, the United States Department of Agricul tnre is warning sportsmen that the Federal regulations as amended October 1, 1914, will be strictly enforced. Some mis understanding has arisen from the fact that the various state laws do not always conform to the Federal regulations. This is regarded as unfortunate but in such cases the Department must insist upon the observance of the Federal regulations. The Department will consider any reccommendations submitted in good faith for amendment of the regulations, but will hold no pubiic hearings thereon, nor will it amend the regulations prior to October 15. 1915. It is the purpose of the Department to conform the regulations to the wishes of the majority of sportsmen so far as it can be done and at the same time give wild fowl the necessary protection. Federal regulations divide the United States into two zones. Zone No. I, the breeding zone, includes the States of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa Illinois. Indiana, Ohio. Pennsyl vania and New Jersey and all states north of them. Zone No. 2 the wintering zone, includes all states south of those named. Insectivorous birds protected pigeindefinitely. Band-taile- d ons, cranes, swans, curlew, smaller shore birds, and wood ducks protected until September 1, 1918. Rail3 in Vermont and woodcock in lliinois also protected until 3918. e Another Record for Beaver Girl Ten years teaching without missing a day and only twice late at teachers meeting in that period, is a record that is hard to beat. That is the of Miss Myrtle Farnsworth of Beaver, who has been tea'ching in toe public schools here and elsewhere in the state for ten years. Any girl might be proud of a record like this, but Mis3 Farnsworth feels that these two black marks for being late at teachers meeting are a blot on her record It i3 doubtful whether half a dozen teachers in the state can boast a record approaching Miss Farnsworth's and a comparison of notes on the subject would be interesting. Beaver challenges the state to proeuce a more perfect record. re-o- rd A meeting of the county fair committee is called for this evening to determine what shall be done regarding a 'county fair. F.
