WANT POLICE PROTECTION
When kongo, Big Elephant,
Is Unloaded

The circus people have requested
the mayor, chief of police and city
council to give them police protection
during the unloading of Kongo-the
huge elephant just imported from
India. He is unloaded about six
o'clock each morning. Is considered
very dangerous, and if proper officials
are present there will be no danger of
anyone being injured. They have also
requested that all traffic upon streets
to the circus grounds, over which
"Kongo" will have to travel, will be
suspended during the hours of six and
seven in the morning. In the event
tho big beast would meet a team
horses, COW, dog, or some animal
not known to him, he might prove too
much for the ten keepers who are
employed to guard and fight him. He
is heavily chained and every precau-
ton is taken with tho big beast
'Kongo' has elephant instinct, how
ever, and will accept peanuts from
menagerie patrons and is seemingly
very happy when in the menaserie
tent with the other animals. Will
exhibit at Blackfoot, Tuesday, May 20.

PLEASE EAT MORE
LAMB AND MUTTON
Swift 4 Co. Issues Year Book Point
ing Out What Makes Prices In Beef
Industry.

Chicago, April "a EAT more
lamb and mutton and less beef ad.
vises Swift & Co., meat packers, if
you would reduce cost Of living. The
company issued it's 1918 year book
today, summarizing conditions in the
packing industry.
The packers see no hope Of relief
from high beef prices. Figures in
the book assert that while the popu-
lation Of the United States has in
creased approximately 1855, 900 in
the last ten years, the number of
cattle in the country has decreased
7,468, 900 during the same period.
From this" reads the book, 1T is
evident that the consumer If he does
not wish meat values to mount still
higher, must advocate increased pro-
duction Of cattle.
"To relieve the pressure of the
present demand for beef, the increas-
ed use of lamb and mutton is urged

THE OHIO VIEW

Many farmers throughout the state
with good apples to sell and willing
to sell them at a reasonable price,
have been unable to dispose of his
fruit this winter Thousands of con-
sumcrs in the cities who like good
apples and who are willing to obtain
them. What is the trouble? A glance
at the following figures may throw
some light on this problem. A men,
Der of the faculty of the College
Of Agriculture, Ohio State University,
DESTROYS of obtaining some apples
for demonstration work, went to a re-
taller in the city and was obliged
to pay the following exhorbitant
prices for them: Delicious, 60 cents;
Rome Beauty, 40 cents; Jonathan.
IS cents; Grimes Golden, 25 cents.
Very few Of these were perfect, many
bling blemished by diseases, bruise
or storage scald, aend some were so Of
color as to be hardly recognizable.
With such conditions prevailing, it
is not to be wondered at that fruit
growers are complaining because of
DOOR SALE People cannot pay sucl
impossible prices and consequently
apples are moving slowly. There
surely must be some means by which
the grower and the consumer can
get nearer each other says this col
ege man. Certain communities
nave found way out of their trouble
and others will have to do so sooner
or later. Corporation is in the air
and many are beginning to realize
that some form is necessary if the
farmer is to get his proper reward"

Come On, You Anolers

The Mackay Miner, edited by L. E.
Dillingham;, has the following invitation
to the anglers of the state, in the is
sue of April oath. Dillingham;, who
Is an all round sportsman, is probably
as anxious as anyone to cast his
line in trout stream and catch a
good string and we don't blame him:
IN Just one week from today,
Thursday, we can wet the alluring
fly in our favorite water and angle
for the wiley trout, as April, the
closed month, will expire on Wednes-
day Licenses will be on sale on
that date. Lost river has the world
beaten to dark brown frazle when
1t comes to trout fishing and humid
reds of sportsmen over southeastern
Idaho are looking forward to a trip
to this section early next month.
The high water will be on by that
date and with riley water fishing in
the river will be rather slow. The

are, can make the leap that takes
them through the outlet works and on

Warm springs creek is always good,
and 1t is thenext best bet. They will

since the early freshets are over the

NO AGE LIMIT

Oslerism has been revived unfortunat
ly. 1t has been intimated from Wash
ington that the new attorney general
is inclined to look with disfavor on tn
selection of lawyers more than 60
years old as available to fill vacan-
cies on the various federal benches.
No ruling has yet been made and
it is hoped no hard and fast rule will
be attempted
This is known as the age of young
men. Truly the man of 80 is forging
ahead faster than ever before On
his shoulders are heaped the burdens
of the most driving competition the
commercial world has ever known.
And the burdens were never more
capably carried.
But not to the discredit of the old
err man. Those who are beyond SO,
60 and even 70 years are still active
in pursuits of every nature. One who
is capable is retained by employers,
often at enormous salaries until the
back is bent and the steps are falter-
ing, And then the trusted employe
is retained even longer in an advi-
sorry capacity, wise master realizing
that years of experience can be nei-
Their bought nor sold.
The fact of the matter is that CON-
petition, in this strongest of compe-
titive ages, is nowhere as strong as
in the demand for great ability. Men
of ordinary ability are plentiful, but
a great captain of industry has said
that 100000 jobs are going begging
and even many jobs to which a small
Ter salary is attached, but the men are
not to be had to fill them. 1t mat.
tiers not what the age may be. 1t
will not be necessary for any hard
and fast rules to be established for
the job will find the man and tn.
man the job regardless Of any age
limits. If physical disabilities bal
a trusted and valuable employee from
work of one kind, he will be switched
to another.
The young man never had better
opportunities. could never forge ahead
faster than he can today, but the
ripe experience garnered from 80 or
40 or SO years of hard work was
never more desired than at present,
There Is room for those below 60 and
room for those above.-Wallace Press.

Effective Work BY Game Department

Every little while some combination
or other raises little noise against
existing conditions. This seems to be
the case with few Of our misguided
brethren up the line in respect to the
operations of the state fish and game
department.
First Of all, it should be understood
the department is organized for the
people at large and for no clique or
set of Individuals; that it's operations
must be widespread and beneficial, tina
results may accrue to the largest num-
ber
1t is rather selfish, to say the least.
that any small number of individuals
should get together and assume to
criticize before they knew what they
are criticizing.
Such process demonstrates but one
thing, and that is selfishness Such
selfishness may be actuated by entire
good intent, but it comes with decid-
ed bad grace at this time.
In fact it smacks of Interior mo-
tives, for certainly a department at
the inception Of new work could not
honestly be charged with shortcom-
ings attached to a previous admins
tration.
The sum of it is that some objec-
ton has been raised to the game
department taking spaun at Camas
creek, in Fremont county. The OBJ
lection is ill-timed, as no results of
any kind are yet in sight, and aside
from that the department must be
credited for. the best Of intent to-
ward all interests.
AS matter of fact, the work OF
the department at Camas creek has
not been productive of the greatest sa
tisfaction to the department, and
Though fish screens have been install
ed at some expense and much hard
labor in both Camas and Dry creeks,
the fish have not materialized. The
department hopes, however, for i'm
provement in the condition, and it is
probable few days later will result
in taking sufficient native spawn to
re-stock the streams as far as posi-
ble Native spawn cannot be pur-
chased, as can Eastern brook and 9TH
er varieties.
The senseless agitation that has
been raised is not Endorsed by the
leading sportsmen of this section, to
say nothing of the state at large, and
it is of far better purpose to indorse
the good work of the state, which will
prove beneficial to the fish interests
than to indulge in quite groundless
partisansm and insane charges that
have not the faintest ground for
substantiatiOn.
The state fish and game department
is not working on theory, and should
be thoroughly upheld. 1t will produce
good results.
