for the slaughter of SO many bulls.
Many men of prominence inadevertent-
ly encourage the tusk hunter in his
bloody business by offering an unrea.
price for the small bits of w.
DRY that have in reality only a fictitious
value. If the craze for animal pro-
ducts as emblems, trophies and orna-
ments could be turned toward the
skulls or skins of prairie dogs and
gophers, or the fangs of coyotes and
wolves, it might be made to serve a
useful purpose. This demand for elk
tusks must be taken into consideration
and Offset by more drastic legislation"
The warden says that "the penalty for
dds kind OF lawlessness is wholly in,
adequate; it ought to be made a felony.
One or two head and tuck hunters serv-
ing a term at Rawlins would have
more effect than a dozen misdemeanor

Among the general observations Of
the warden is the following:
Our wild game, large and small,
need especial protection to guard
against the determination of some or
ali species, and, as game grows scare,
er and the unsettled area smaller, re
strictive measures will have to be mtde
more and more drastic. That our wild
game and fish are valuable assets TO

him, he turned to Warren and said:
Warren, you must bring Bill to the re-
ception this evening. It's the diplo-
matte reception and Bill Daley is the
finest diplomat l ever met"
Warren Helped Him Out.
Daley said tina he would like to at
tend, but hadn't brought his dress
suit. The president said: Warren
will lend you one and it will just about
fit you. If he cannot, I'll lend you a
pair of chaps and you can wear them"
Although Daley is one of the biggest
men in Wyoming, Warren was able to
fit him out with a dress suit and they
went to the presidents reception to-
