Australia has taken an advanced

Il was proud of the boys, for they
were mere boys that sailed with that
feet" she said. "They were out to

During these droughts the animals
are often driven miles to get water.
The subject OF irrigation is attracting
much attention now. An expert is

rivers. so II Is a matter of conserving

resentative Lehritter of Gunnison.
Mr.. Lehritter will have q bill to
prohibit the shipping Of fish from
any part of the state and no will
make a hard fight to have the
measure enacted into law.
"Unless we pass such law, said
Mr.. Lehritter ''the streams Of the
state will become exhausted in very
few years and the large sums we ap-
propriate for the establishment and
maintenance Of fish hatcheries will be
only 80 much money thrown away.
Every year there come to the

who make their camp and stay there
from the first of June until late In

tion from some influential friends
in Denver and after establishing
their camp they send every day or
