for they have one and all seeA un-
firing, while working almost day and
night, in promoting the interests OF
the Herald, and we can hardly find
words with which to express our ap-
probation of their work, and to thank
them for SO materially and greatly In
creasing the business of the Herald.
The young ladies in town did noble
work, but we must give especial cred
1t to Miss Vera Hcndrickson for
her splendid work, as she had large
field to cover, with less people to
work on, at large, than had our home
contestants, and with the display Of
the same energy, and with better OPP
portunities, the result might easily
have been different. AS it was, Miss
Hendrickson increased the circulation
Of the Herald in her territory, by
some hundreds Of subscriptions
The contest was spirited one from
start to finish and the outcome was
q guess from the beginning until the
votes We're counted. The position Of
the contestants changed several times

Friday Night. Miss Morgan Second.
Presented With a Gold Watch. Miss
Hendrickson Third. Receives Gold
Bracelet Large Vote is Polled
Last Day and Herald's Sub
scription List Gets Boost.

The Herald diamond ring contest
closed ON Friday, August IA, and that
it was an unqualified success Is
evidenced by interest taken by the
contestants and their friends through
cut the county, and by the large vote
cast, the total for the different con
testants, according to the count of
the judges, being 1924
The close was an exciting one, and
the preliminary counting Of the votes
from the Herald's records, which
which took place on Friday night
last, and lasted until nearly IL o.
Giocn, was eagerly watched by the
three leading eontestants-Hias Flo-
renee Fleming, Miss Margaret Nor
gan, and Miss Vera Hendrickson, OF
Chinook, who, accompanied by her
mother, came up to take part in the
wind up Of the contest, and by mauy
friends OF the contestants who crowd
ed the Herald office during the pro-
gress Of the count.
TO say that the young ladies were
in a nutter of excitement would be
putting it mild, and they varied the

When the count was completed and
it was announced that Miss Fleming
had won the coveted prize, the en-
Ihusiasm Of her friends knew no
bounds, and she was literally over
whelmed with congratulations, which
she hlushingly received, but that she
appreciated the entiro situation was
evidenced by the sparkle in her bright
eyes, and the happiness SO plainly
apparent ON her face.
But now came a surprise, as pleas

their friends, as it was unexpected,

any kind, brought forth, and present.

k1I | E'cH ny B. nez OF Q! DYNAMITE

A. B. Clarke, who returned the first
of the week from an outing on Up
per Beaver creek, reports the most
flagrant violations of the state
game laws, in that a party Of poach-
ers are dynamiting trout in the wat
ers of that stream, and taking them
h.- ether unlawful means. Mr., Clark
va; unable to catch the parties red
handed in their nefarious pursuits,
but he found the evidence of their
work, as in one "cache" which he
discovered, there were big trout
blown in half, most evidently the
work of dynamite.
They would evidently dynamite the
deep holes, and where the conditions
we're not favorable for this, they
would build dams, draining the wat
er below, and then go into the shall
low plcaes, where the fish were i'm
prisoned, and secure them by any or
all methods of netting, shovelling,
or otherwise. Mr. Clark destroyed
several of their dams
What aggravates the situation

man to get the specific evidence a.

the law, is that hundreds of young

tered during the past month, IN the
immediate vicinity Of Hayre, aud by
the time the game season opens, the
indications are that there VIII be but
little sport left for the legitimate
sportsman who respects the provisions
Of the game laws. The law pro-
vides for the appointment of twelve
deputy Wardens for the whole state:
this is not enough; their territory is
too large to cover with justice TO
either themselves or the people who
pay for the protection of the fish
and game.
Chouteau county should have
deputy, and while the territory would
still be large, good, live man could
cover it quite thoroughly, and cer
tainly be in a position to make e1-
.amples that would tend to head off,
to a great extent, this indiscrimi-
nate and wilful, and wicked viola
ton of the laws. The next 1egisla-
ture, if the situation was properly
laid before them, would doubtless
remedy the matter, and the Herald
can see no other way out Of the
matter. ~ E

KEEPS HER PLAYS.
Court Holds That Mrs. Cartef-Payne
Can't Be Deprived of Them.

New York, Jan. 4.-Judge Hough of
the United States district court has
handed down a decision holding Mrs.
Carter-Payne, the actress now in
bankruptcy, has the right to the pos
session of the property, costumes, etc,
of the .'Zaza,' and "Du Barry produc-
tons and to the contract entered into
between the actress and Thomas r.
Hart regarding the plays Fedora" and
La Tosca." Ezra P. Prentice, the re-
ceiver, appointed on November 10 last,
was ordered to relinquish whatever the
atrical property of Mrs. Payne's he
holds.
The receiver had averred that the
actress only asset was her ability to
act in the plays mentioned, that, there
fore, he had right to compel her to
continue to play for the benefit OF her
creditors The situation, however, was
complicated by the fact that Mrs. Car
ter-Payne did not lay claim to the pro-
perty rights of ''Zaza" and "Du Barry"
both of which were lent gratis to her
by David Belasco.
Mrs. Carter-Payne taeitly admitted.
however, that she owned the. plays by
agreeing to turn over to the receivers
all receipts therefrom except $1,000 a
week, to be retained by her as salary.
She did this on December 6 last in

being disbanded.. - -% 49,

BOXERS ON A RAMPAGE.
They Resist an Increase in the Tax
on Opium.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. &c. Pol
hill, an English missionary, who has
spent 20 years in China and arrived on
the liner Nippon Maru, says that short
~ before he left his station at Kai
Tsien, in the province of Szchuan, a
place about 1900 miles from Shanghai,
the boxers had caused considerable
alarm to the foreign residents. The
imposition Of a heavy school tax and a
heavier tax on opium had aroused the
boxers to anger and started them on a
wrecking rampage. No lives were lost
in the outbreak but five buildings be-
longing to the Protestant and Catholic
missions were destroyed before the au-
thorities succeeded in quclling the riots.
Polhiu is on his way to London. He
expects trouble all over China before
many months.

that will be discussed at length by opposing counsel
 The complaint contains in full the telegram sent from El Centro on Feb ruary 12, purporting to be resolutions passed by the El Centro Chamber of Commerce and signed by Brown, as president, and Ravens, as secretary of the organization. The closing para graph reads:
 We protest against being ground between millstones of litigation and being subjected to needless hardships in order that club may be placed in the hands of one private corpora ton for the coercion of another We respectfully insist on the recognition of public good as being paramount to private interests in law, as we'll as in civic policy, and we appeal to Judge Wellborn to take all the facts into con sideration and relieve Imperial County from the blight of this order of in junction.
 Brown and Ravens are cited to ap- pear on the 27th inst. At that time technical questions will be raised and the entire case of the New Liverpool Salt Company against the California Development Company will be re- viewed.
 Attorneys, not connected with either side, prophecy that the entire contro- versy will be settled by purchase of the land and property rights of the plaintiff. They assert that such a course will give the California Devel- opment Company authority to run it's waste water into the Salton Sink and furnish excess flow for developing power.

SHOT "A JAP IN THE LEG.
Cleaver and Gun Figure In Fracas at
 Imperial Junction.

A shooting scrape at Imperial June ton on Tuesday was the subject. of a hearing before Justice Tout at Fl Centro on Wednesday. w. A. Faust employed in the railroad restaurant and Japanese dishwasher got into a fracas, in which the Jap used a cleaver and the white man used a gun. The testimony given showed that the Jap was menacing Faust with the cleaver when Faust shot him in the leg. The Jap ran out, and Faust fired another shot after him, but did not hit him. Justice Tout was of the opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to war rant holding Faust for trial on fel- ony charge and he discharged the prisoner.
