1t now looks as though the press of
the state would be practically a unit
against a state wolf bounty, unless the
same is levied in such a manner as to
be a tax only upon the interests bene
fitted. Editor Slack of the Leader and
Editor Perry of the Rawlius Republi-
can have expressed themselves in no
uncertain way in relation to the mat
ter and in his advocacy of the state
bounty Mr.. Barrow is frank enough to
say that it is Il poor make-shift at
best and has little value in accomplish
ing the desired end Mr.. Barrow urges
h stockmen to form associations and
pay bounties therefrom that will make
it an object for wolfers to devote thei.
time to the business. This is a con.
cession the papers of the central por-
ton of the state have hitherto failed
to make. In discussing the matter the
Leader says: The opposition to a
state wolf bounty has decidedly the
best of the argument, and always made
out the strongest case. but those
members of the Legislature who want
Ell an appropriation in behalf of the
stockmen have beeen able to make a
deal to get heir measure through"

CATION. For several years they have
insisted on the governments giving
lands to the respective states in which
the lands are found, but now they asi;
that the government shall make an ap.
pl Opriation to build reservoirs to store

a often runs to waste in the night.
Il tells how the bill will be opposed by
those who have always opposed FEEDER,
al aid to States. The best way to look
a. it is the business way. 1t is a very
costly and difficult business to estab-
lish great reservoirs in the sharp hill
lands Of the west. For this reason in
%dividuals cannot do it to any great ex-
tent, and when there is a combination
OF capital, then there is of course a
monopoly and much trouble. Then
again many streams run out of one
state into or through another. inc then
If the water is retained in the first.
there is the old clash of riparian rights.
These facts have induced some shrewd
which only the federal government can
safely handle. and our private judg-
ment is that it ought not to be
a., appropriation from the government
like the improvement OF & river
or harbor, but that the government
should go to work and establish reser,
voirs, and then lease the water to set
tiers until it's expenditure was return.
ed. At the same time it could make
adjustments as between the states so
that clashing would cease. 1t is pure
ly a business matter, and ought to be
handled in a business way. The great
trouble will be in making the men of
the east understand how much there
Is in the proposition. A very gifted
United States senator was here some
ten or twelve years 90. and when the
whole matter was laid before him he
bluntly answered that he would oppose
anything of that kind, and gave as his
reaso that if some millions of acres
o: land could be redeemed from the
waste lands on which crops would be
almost absolutely sure with water.
the result would be that thousands of
men from his own state would pull up
stakes and move west. and for the
purely selfish reason that he did not
wish such a drain as that from his own
state, he opposed the scheme. But
those things always come up. No real
beneflcent measure can be forced
through congress without many a
scrap, but it is the constant dropping
that wears the rock. and after time
enough passes, the good sense of the
country comes to the front and the
measure is carried.-Salt Lake Tri-

IN HAMBURG GERMANY.

Daylight in June lasts until Is min

The leading hotels are owned and

known in any other important city in
Europe.
The canals have a business aspect
There is no attempt to beautify them
with trees or shrubbery as Is the case
In Holland.
Charlemagne founded Hamburg in
SO4, but it did not awaken to its COM
mercial advantages until five centuries
afterwards.
During the American revolutionary
war Hamburg enjoyed a boom in ship

The policeman in blue uniform with
brass spiked helmet, the face of which
is f~ancifully decorated with brass. is
an imposing guardian of the peace.
When it rains he dons a handsome
light gray overcoat, and then he does
look like a German field marshal.
Unlike American towns, Hamburg
has had q cold and rainy summer.
Even in August Arctic clothing was
necessary for comfort. The winds are
penetrating and almost as forceful as
the ones that carry death and devasta-
ton across the p~rairies of the United
States.
The steamer that carries visitors
around the harbor makes landings at
the beer gardens along the shore.
where the thirsty can be refreshed. The
innovation is a popular one, for the
American does not mean to be behind
his German friend in a matter of this
kind.

Geographical Names Out In Arkansas.

a commercial traveller recently re-

was speaking the other day of the
nomenclature of the towns and coun-
ties of that state. las a township
name" said he. nothing seems so
popular as a name ending in creek.
There are Beech, Mill, Barren. Dutch,
Long, Big, Peter, Clear, Pierre, Flat,
Crooked, Sugar and Day creeks scat
tered through the state as townships.
There are Eagle and War Eagle town
ships, and II is named after Grover
Cleveland. Yell is both a township
and county name, but the people are
not particularly noisy in those places,
in spite of he name. Many names
are reminders of the old French oc-
cupation, such as Petit Jean. Terre
Noir, Fayette. Lagrue. De Bastrop and
st. Francis, of townships.
Sugarloaf seems to be a popular name
for towns in Arkansas, why, | do
not know: and one community calls
itself by the intensely prosaic name of
Railroad. Colonel Bowie, he of the
celebrated knife. has his name per-
petuated by a township name, and so
has Daniel Boone and Bryan. The
population of Arkansas is now nine
ty times what it was when the first
census was taken of it, in 1920, but
the increase has been STOW in the last
