Notwithstanding the inrOads made in
their ranks during the past summer bg
wantOnlY destructive tourist hunters,
who have been aided and abeIsd in the
work OF killing OF our game by still
more wantOn guides. In this cOBnec-

shot at. OF this class Of guides, one
Jake BOrah, whose headquarters is at
GlenwOOd, is said to be the worst. II

but one ending-the utter humiliation
OF the large game; and then they would
have Witnessed the death Of the goose
that lays the golden egg. because it can
not be denied that the occupation If
guide is both pleasant and profitable
As We see it. it Is to the Interest Of the
guides, hotel keepers. mountain resort
keepers, and all others Interested In the
attraction to and entertainment Of tour

White river country, to see to it that
the game is not wantOnly DESTROYED. TO
the end that their business may not play
out in year or two. Protect the game
