LCC.iL LEK FIGHT LO.JER TuiMBliLi FIRE
.x number of men from Copper Center villa ;e
were called to fipht the stubborn blaze at
the ^bcher homestead in the Kenny Lake area,
approximately 50 acres were burned over, acc
ording to the Fire Control. The fire started
when.hiph winds fanned a smolderin' brush wile
into hi-h flames. Fete otickwan of Copper
Center is still in the area, employed as a
fire-watcher. I wonder if he knows that nr.
Eob Bice found a very lar e brown bear in his
back-yard the other day? Pete was more than a
little worried about the possibility of meetin
ud with same I The bear was able to amble
oeacefully away, thanks to a defective scope
on Bice’s pun . But just wait ’til next tine I

A low water level and high winds seem to.
be holding the summer mosquitoes in check#
I wonder if the birds knew we were moin• to
have a comparatively buyless month? uur
swallow population, ( Cliff, Violet-Green
and Tree) is down considerably from former
years. These birds arc great mosquito
"hawks" and need enormous quantities to
survive, .BLso missing this year are the
numerous little "Flycatcher" birds, who haunt
the willows and 'alders alon ; the streams
and sloughs. -although these-birds are gen
erally hard to see, blending in with the
protective coloring of the trees, they too, ;
are expert bur catchers, no jugs, .no ;birds! i
_md if we don’t hurry up and ;6t some 'warmer|
weather, we’ll soon be saying "no water"....!
and then what will happen to the fish wheels'!
'The Bayless home in Copper is yettiny a
