Cushman Skunk
Is Laid Away,
Shot by Collins
By I,'ranc Radtke
History of the unwelcome visit-
in, skunk which raised havoc
witil neighbors on the east side
of Lake Standstill now comes to
a close. The unpleasant animal
is in skunk heaven or wherever
such animals go when they get
shot in the head by Dave Collins,
The striped pussy left his calling
card in the basement of one more
house before he was laid to rcst
without mourners or pall-bearers.
DID WE SAY last week that
the weather was getting warraer ?
How wrong we were. Snow fell
again reaching the depth of more
than two feet. At Robinson's re-
sort it measured twenty-eight
inches, and on Sunday morning
the thermometer registered 11 de-
grees above zero.
Cushmanites are feeding the
birds and sqirrels that are short
on food this winter, tins(otis
have put out five pounds of wheat
since the snow, and claim that
about ten squirrels keep the birds
from getting bread crumbs from
the bird feeder.

THE ,PIONEER PAST
50 - 25 - 10 Years Ago
A west coast trade magazine
reported that U. S, residents over
the decade of 1890 paid out to
foreign countries over $30,000,000
for imported eggs, and made the
comment, "This inlnlense sunl of
money shonld never be allowed to
leave our own land."
Professional men active in the
county in 1899 included Hobart G.
Hagin, attorney; E. B. Brockway,
attorney; Dr. Kennicott, dentist;
Dr. C. H. Wells, physician and
surgeon; Dr. C. N. Hunter', dent-
ist; Grant C; Angle, insurance
agent; J. A. Rea, land lawycr;
W. R. Stewart, barber.
The Journal related on January
27 of 1899: "We have been re-
quested to state that a quantity of
bluestone placed in water in an
open vessel should be placed in
each room where there are chil-
den." x

We had planned to continue our
philatelic travelogue of British
colonies this week but find that
both sets of our philatelic en-
cyclopedias Scott's catalogs) are
out in the hands of club members.
So it's back to the subject of ap-
provals this week.
YOU'VE RECEIVED a set of
unsolicited approvals from Soand-
so and Co., New York. There's
some mighty beautiful material
in this selection and your first
impulse is to pull out everything
that you can use or would like to
have, But wait a minute! Timse
stamps are not a gift to you;
each item is carefully marked with
a price; you'll have to pay for all
mg.
Is this your first experience
with Soandso and Co.? If so,
one of the first things you should
do is get hold of a Scott's Stamp
Catalog (our Shelton library has
them) and compare Soandso's
prices with Scott's listings. If
Soandso's prices run consistently
higher than Scott's listings, re-
turn the approvals with a polite
I request to su)p sending approvals.
You can obtain the same stamps
elsewheres at Scott's listings or
less. Each penny saved will add
anpther stamp to your collection.
ONCE YOU FIND a good ap-
proval dealer who gives you good
variety, good quality, and good
prices, stick to with him. Deal-
ers appreciate thteir repeat cust-
omers and show their apprecia-
tion in numerous ways.
Handle all approvals in your
possession with extreme care. A
dealer may hold you accouutable
for stamps creased, torn or soiled
while in your possession. By all
means give approvals received
your earliest possible attention
and get them back to the dealer
as soon as possible. If you take
more than ten days to get the se-
lection back to the dealer, the
dealer will have to go to additional
expense and bother to remind you
to return the stamps.
WE'VE KNOWN collectors to
place an approval selection in their
album for consideration in the
near future-.-where they remained
forgotten for weeks and prehaps
even months. We've known one
collector who argued for two years
with a dealer over an approval
selection that he had received and
knew he had returned--only to
find the selection at last in a
box of duplicates and accumulated
miscellanies! Don't let it happen
to you, If you can't give the
selection your immediate atten-
tion, place them out in the open
where you can't help but see them
many times daily.
