TOSSING the Caber,

One Of the strangest and most an
Client games of Bonny Scotland is
throwing the caber, than which there
Is probably no more severe test of
muscle and skill, says Popular Me-
chanics. The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and Is still one Of the feature
events on the programs Of all athletic
contests. The caber Is a long section
Of tree trunk, tapered so that it is no.
ticeably smaller at. one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing it raises
the pole to a vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such a way that the small end will
describe half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber, having been
thrown In the manner described, lands
on the ground with its smaller end
tarthest away from the throwing point.
Doctors Fees Of Old.
Doctors nowadays don't get so
much more than they used to get.
At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the usual fee to a graduate
in physic as about $3.50, though he
usually asked twice that amount. Old
Sawbones, who was only a licensed
physician, couldn't very we'll expect
more than $1.66, though he usually
had hopes Of getting $3.50 visit. A
surgeons fee was a quarter a mile,
whether the journey were far or near,
and to that charge he added a quarter
for blood-letting. and If the patient
wanted his arm or leg cut OF 1t cost
him $25.

STATE GOVERNMENT
IS COSTING TOO MUCH

The statement has frequently been
made that the running expenses Of the
state government. the salary list. un-
der Gov. Shafroth was as much as
under the combined administrations OF
Geo. Buchtel and Gov. Mcdonald.
This statement has never been de-
MED so IL Is taken as true.
And this is not political discus
sion-to prove ineompetency OF any
political party. II is made merely to
show the tendency to increase the bur-
dens OF taxation
The result Of this added expense
on the state is that the state institu-
tons have been greatly handicapped
md tha, we are suffering under new
revenue and assessment law that is
mixing state affairs mp badly.
Just stop and think of Il minute.
The saiary list under Shafroth was rs
much as under Bnchtel and Mcdonald
combined. And II will be about the
same under Ammons.
Have you noticed any marked i'm
provemcnt in state government?
Have you noticed any benefits from
all this new retinue of state officials. !.
Don't you think that We had about
as much government under Mcdonald
and Buchtel as the taxpayers want to
pay fors
What this state needs is a sane COM

gether and work out some reductions

Mormons Lose Millions.

Los Angeles, Dec. 12.-Revolution
in Mexico has cost Mormon colonists
from the United States more than $1O,-
100000. This was the statement cred
tied today to President Joseph S.
Smith of the Mormon church, who is
here ON his return from a visit to the
refugees in Arizona and southern
California. The church head also said
he had favored a plan for the exiled
colonists to settle where they now
are. instead of returning to Mexico
when conditions permit.
"The flower of our colonists was in
Mexico" President Smith said. "Our
people had labored there for a quar-
ter of a century and achieved wonder
full results. They were forced to give
up whole towns and cities-their
homes and churches, all to the value
of more than $10,000,000.

Want Larger Farm Units

Washington, Dec. 13.-Oscar E.
Young, Master of the Montana State
grange, has been in Washington sew
eral days protesting against the es-
tablishment of 80-acre farm units on
the Sun river irrigation project and
left for home tonight with the matter
undetermined.
Young informed the interior de-
partment that many farmers owning
lands under the Sun river project
prefer to hold their rull 100 acres
without irrigation rather than dis
pose of half their holdings and have
80 acres of irrigated land. He spoke
principally for settlers on that part
of the project which is now temporar
lily suspended, and no action is likely
to be taken by the interior depart
ment for some time.

An Oregon Rabbit Drive

Pendleton, Dec. 13.-Using a mile
long mesh wire fence donated by the
Pendleton Commercial club, Oregon
farmers are Kidding their wheat lands
of rabbit pests and thus are provid-
ing food for the hungry in Portland
and other Oregon cities. The first
fruits of this effort are 1900 rabbits
taken near Holdman today in drive
over two sections of land. The rab
bits were sent to the needy Of Port
land tonight.
Farmers say millions of rabbits are
overrunning the district between
Echo, on the Columbia river and Cold
Springs canyon, and it is believed
100000 will be taken in the Holdman
district alone. The drives are to be
conducted over an area of 25 square
miles of wheat country. Express COM
panies are making shipments of the
rabbits to cities without charge.
