AN OFFER TO BRYAN.

1t is undoubtedly true that the in
terest which offered Bryan a big salary
to be its publicity agent was guilty of
an insult to the public service and Of
a contemptuous approach to him as a
high official; although probably the
person who made the offer considered
it in the straight line Of business. This
offer, it is said, assured Bryan salary
Of $4,000 a year, if no would resign
from the Office Of Secretary of State
and undertake the work OF publicity

ness" and that the promoter was Gun
conscious of its impertinence and of
the scandalous nature of the transac-
tion which he proposed" 1t is true,
however, that Secretary Bryan has laid
himself open to just such impertinence
by the callous way in which he treats
public comment upon his Chautauqua
circuit lecturing.
1t has been justly stated that the
Office OF the Secretary of State is one
OF great dignity and of high traditions,
and that it deserves to be respected as
such without regard to the peculiarities
OF any one who may temporarily he in
that Office, And il is scornfully asked
whether such an offer as this made to
Bryan could possibly have been made
TO Webster, TO Olney, to Hay, or TO
Root.
All that is straight enough, but the
high dignity of the Office when it is
lowered as Bryan has lowered it, does
not apply TO any such personality as
Mr.. Bryan's, while the comparison of
him with the illustrious personages who
have in the past held that Office, is as

CLOSE SEASON FOR LIONS.

1t appears that in East Africa the
authorities fear the determination OF
the lion, and are taking means to pro-
vide a close season for lion hunting
1t is no wonder that they do this in
view Of the astonishing numbers of
lions slain by different hunting expe.
ditions into East Africa. Word comes
from Nairobi, which was Colonel Roose-
welt s point of departure into the hon
country proper, that the slaughter Of
lions by him, by Paul Rainey, by the
Maharajah of Data, and others has
been terrific. 1t is said they killed
among them n thousand lions in two
years. This is an astonishing destrue-
tion, and it is no wonder that the an.
thorities of British East Africa indulge
in the fear (instead OF being glad
Of it, as one might imagine that they
would be) that at this rate the lions
will presently become extinct in that
region. Accordingly. they propose to
limit lion hunting TO specific seasons
Of the year, so that the lions may have
a rest and chance.
1t seems q little odd, however, when
one thinks OF it. to imagine the idea
of close season for lions for lions are
destructive of the finest game in the
regions where they exist. They dc.
stroy enormous numbers and feed vo-
raciously on game But they do not
feed alone on game. Often they make

slduonsly. At the time that the rail
road was being built from Nairobi
northward, the laborers' camps were in
vaded almost every night, and there
was serious danger of the camps be-
ing broken up and the laborers fleeing
to safer places. Just then a great lion

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The rains Of the week have fresh
ened everything wonderfully, and the
temperature has been such as to re-
new in emphatic form the fame of Salt
Lake City as a first elias summer re-
sort.
The excursion of bushes men to
Idaho points, now on, has attracted
favorable attention in the business
community.
The people on Capitol Hill are de-
manding street car service, and object
ing to the delay in the consideration
Of their petition for it. 1t would be,
as they urge, comparatively easy
proposition to add this service by
finishing the loop from North Main
street that now runs to the Capitol
grounds and constructing a track down
State street to North Temple. Very
little work and expense would be in
volved in this, and as it is n line that
will finally have TO be built, as it is
fearly urged, why not build it now!
The announcement is made that the
contract for the Newhouse hotel heat
ing has been let. This is good news,
indicating the progress making on that
construction. The building operations
of the city for the week have advanced
well, assuring a high record for the
season. The realty market, while not

good, firm market all the time, and re-

mountains, but on the whole they have
kept up their service wonderfully we'll.

BUCKS TO MEET
BEARS TOMORROW

Having crawled from fourth Nplace
in the percentage column to within
a few points of second, the Pendleton
Buckarooes arrived home this morn
ing on the early train and today are
resting up for the six game series
with Walla Walla. McKune and his
men won both series they played
while away from home, anneXing four
of the six played at Baker and the
same number at Boise.
incidentally they have won every
series since the opening one with
Walla Walla which team they will
meet for the first time since then to-
morrow. Osborne will be on the fir
ing line for Pendleton and Bade will
probably use his best bet, Tiny Leo
nard, whom he has been resting uI
for ten days for this series. The last
time that Osborne and Leonard op-
posed each other it was a S-2 affair
Since then Osborne has lost but one
game. Incidentally since he left
home, he has developed into hitter
of the 500 class, his stickwork beins
responsible for several victories. The
mere fact that he Is to pitch shoult
be sufficient to draw out bis
crowd.

and came from behind to win a glor-
ious victory. With the score standing
to in favor of the Bucks the locals
punched six hits for six runs in the
sixth inning and thereby definitely de-
cided the big question of the after
noon
The pitching battle between the
mighty Joe Berger and the great Al
Bonner was all it had been expected
to be but Al had considerably the best
of it. He was steadier than his for
midable opponent and kept his hits
separated more widely. Except dur
ing the sixth Berger had the Boise
hitters guessing. 1t was that one bad
inning that defeated him.
1t was a splendid battle-by far
the best that has been seen here this
season. The two master pitchers Of

Duarte will fight at 15S pounds and
CARPENTER will weigh six or eight

Both men have been seen in action

BOTH MEN CUNNING
FOR EACH OTHER

Watch out for bullets! Pendleton
may be the scene today of a gun
fight which will make even the noted
Hank Vaughan-Long battle seem like
a sung shot affair between a couple
of kids. For Gus Peret, better known
as Red" for his vermillion locks, is
in town and he is sore plumb to his
heart And be it known that Red is
a bad man with the gun. He is the
expert and fancy shooter who travels
for the Peters Cartridge Co. and as
the object of his wrath is none other
than Ed Morris. sometimes yclept
"Sureshot" and more often cole
Oleson," the travelling marksman for
the Winchester people, and as "Ole"
is here too, their meeting will doubt
less be the signal for a volley of lead
en- MISSILES directed by hands and
eyes that never fail
Peret's grudge is a cumulative one
resulting from many grievances
against his rival, who is the most ir-
repressible and consistent jobber of
all the travelling men in the west, un-
les it be that man Quirk whose es-
tan haired marksman arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon from La
Grande and the big Swede pulled in
No. S this morning from Boise. When
he went to the st. George to register
he noticed Peret's name on the reg
lister and he was peeved to think that
he had been beaten into the city.
Therefore, in pure spite, so Peret de-
clares. he roued him from bed by
the telephone at 4:30 to tell him that
he had better take look at the stars
and go back to sleep.
But that was as nothing to what
happened later in the morning. Peret
had purchased a suit of summer un-
derwear and some fancy hosiery, for
he scented a hot day before him. He
dropped into La Dow's hardware
store and left his package for mo-
ment The alert eye of Morris dis
covered the package and he darted
out to the nearest clothing store and
purchased a pair of boys brown ov-
eralls, the texture of which was like
sandpaper. The work of substituting
these for the underwear took but
moment so when Peret went over to
his room to have a bath and a change
of linen, he took the overalls and left
the underwear behind him, in serene
ignorance of the dastardly deed that
had been done. He only learned of 1t
when he jumped from the tub and un-
tied the package. The wrath OF
Achilles was as nothing to the rage of
Peret His face became as fiery as
his hair and he saw redd all around
him. Hardly taking time oget back
into his soiled raiment, he unlocked
his grip and took from it whole ar
senal which he uses in his daily work.
He was on the trail of the big Scan
dinavian in a few minutes but the
latter up until press time has eluded
his pursuer. But he too Is bristllng
with shooting irons and the impend-
ing battle will undoubtedly have
class
