/ less, legally, TO require proper venti-
lation to carry away the poisonous
| fumes.
Many factory laws enumerate n
certain list of dangerous conditions.
machines or appliances which are to
be safeguarded; but they leave un-
mentioned many other dangerous con-
ditions, appliances or machines which
are in as great need of safeguarding
as those danger points specifically
mentioned in the law. Not being
specifically mentioned, the inspection
officials have no authority over them.
The vrewery case is merely an incl
handicap in the present legal safe
guarding of human life.
The use of general terms and
blanket provisions in a law has, of
course, several aspects. The frequent
need of elasticity in legal provisions
is obvious especially under the rap
idly changing methods of manufac-
ture in America. But what is need
ed is the intelligent use of elasticity.
The basis for this lies in the classih-
cation of industry according to the
existing degree of danger found in
each class. In other words. indus
tries and the protection they should
afford the workers, should be classi
fed and standardized according to the
risks found operating in each indus
try.

Last week New York correspon-

VIII you kindly give room In your
paper for the following statement?
Some persons are, in measure, in
juring DR.. L. f. Reynolds of Belgrade
by circulating a report that he has
been doctoring me for over year
and didn't find out what the trouble
was until DR.. Sturtevant came and
pronounced it gall stones. As a mat
ter of fact, DR. Reynolds has been
treating me for over a year for gall
stones and recommended an operation
year ago. And | have today entered
the Augusta General Hospital for an
operation on his recommendation.

FISH WERE FoRkEo OUT.
New Method of Catching Them ir
Gunnison River.

The Gunnison river flows. or rather
leaps, down the western slope of Colo
RADIO and is famed for its trout. En-
thusiast.c anglers. frequently journey
there from England to whip it's turbu-
lent waters during the fishing season,
as the trout in this ice cold stream are
celebrated for their exquisite flavor,
and tor their fighting qualities as we'll.
This picturesque stream after flowing
placiIly through a beautiful broad val
ley, hemmed in by snow capped peaks,
suddenly breaks its leash and plunges
into series of rapids and cascades
where it enters the Black Canyon at
Sapinero whose granite walls rise on
either side to a perpendicular height
of from 1000 to 5000 feet above the
foaming stream. 1t continues its tor
tuous course through this chasm for
upward of thirty miles before it emery
es into another valley at State Bridge,
5000 feet lower than where it entered
the canyon.
The trout fishing is along the upper
half of the canyon, which is traversed
by EarroW gauge railroad. The lower
half OF the canyon is impossible. Only
three men ever made the trip through
it, They were government engineers
who were accommodating for location
for the Gunnison tunnel to irrigate the
t'ncompahgre Valley. Their strong
raft was wrecked, their instruments
and clothing were lost and they were
rescued in an exhausted condition.
Below the canyon so much alkali and
soil are discharged into the stream by
the irrigating bitches that trout can
not live in 1t, but suckers flourish there,
often attaining a length of from eight
cen to twenty inches. During the lat
ter part of May the suckers go up the
small tributaries to spawn. After
spawning they return in schools, tail
first to the river. These small streams
arc rocky and swift, and if the fish
did not slacken speed by swimming
against the current they might be
bruised against the rocks.
An Eastern tourist happened out
there at spawning time. With two
mountaineers he was passing a cabin
on Cottonwood Greek when an old
woman halted them with the informa-
ton that 1.-THE suckers are a-backin'
down"
The. mountainers got our of their
wagon, hitehed their team and went to
the corral. where they got three pitch
forks. Handing one to the tourist they
said. Come along and Wen show you
a new way to fish. They proceeded to
the stream and began forking out fish
as if they We're pitching alfalfa hay.
In the pools where the water was two
or three feet deep the fish We're 50
numerous that 1t was no uncommon
occurrence to throw out three and four
FISH with each thrust of the fork. The
fish We're weak and sluggish after
spawning and did not make much eff
fort to get out of the way. The old
woman brought out two washing tubs,
washboiler and large dishpan. all of
which We're filled within half an hour
with fish from twelve to eighteen inch
es in length, which she skinned and
sailed down for future. use. She la
mented that the fish were ''a-getting
skeercer every year Ilftt4
why, at comm down time three
years ago me and my old man got nigh
onto wagon load in no time" she
said.-New York Sun.

1t is estimated that numbering opera
tons will cost less this season than in
many years past in that the men are
able to cut the lumber without the
bother of deep snow which sometimes
handicaps them The cutting is now
practically done on the Kennebec river
branch and tributaries. The crews will
now begin to haul the lumber to the
landings. The snow of Tuesday
amounting to II inches afforded them
good hauling and there viii be less ex-
pense to get out the lumber 1t is be-
lieved that with the abundance If rain
that has already fallen that the driv-
ling will be made comparatively easy
in the spring as the streams and ponds
are now fun of water and with the
snow that necessarily will come they
will be overtowing and no lumber will
be left back.

Down in Hancock county lies Egypt,
in the town of Franklin. This way 1t
happened was thus, according to the
local correspondent: The grandfather
of Stanley Chapman shortly after the
Revolution sold his farm to a stranger
who came along with lot OF money.
The money proved to be worthless. 1t
was the old Continental paper that had
been repudiated but news Travelled so
slowly that Chapman hadn't learned
the facts, so he was cut and injured
and appears to have had no recourse.
So he moved into the woods and made
a farm and. built the house where STAN
ley died. This grandfather's name was
Joseph, and after his unlucky trade he
spoke of himself as Joseph sold into
Egypt The name stuck.

In Memory's Wreath.

When shadows. like nightfall, steal over
the heart.
Its sunshine seems vanished away,
Then, think of the hour that betokens
the dawn;
The light of Eternity's day!
There ne'er was night in the pathway
of life,
With cloud that forever can last.
When thrilled by the Star over manager
and hearth,
There is life in our wreath from the
past!
There's a tint from the thorn. there's a
tear for the rose
That we found with the blossoms of
spring:
1t will nourish petal that dropped for a
day,
smile to its bushes shall bring.
Grieve not for a flower that is withered
and torn, a.
BY touch of the frost and the blast;
Entwine it with green. ever found by the
way, -
In the wreath that we weave for the
past

FIRST GAME OF SEASON.
Bursting, Star Twirler, Proves an
Enigma to Picked Team.

That Twin Falls is to have some
real classy baseball the coming sum-
mer became certainty when the To-
cal fans watched the home team in
its preliminary workout against the
Buhl-Filer combined team at the ball
park last Sunday afternoon, the To-
Gals getting away with the big end of
IA to 5 score. Although the wealth
er was too chilly for good work on
the diamond or comfort in the grand
stand, good crowd, with the ladies
well represented, attended the game
and was well rewarded for it's in
terest. The local fans were parti-
cularly interested in Bursting, the big
Minnesota slab artist, who will do the
heavy work for the pitchers staff the
coming season, supported by c. H.
Chaplin behind the bat. Bursting
knows the game, has plenty of steam,
and is steady as a clock, and with
Chaplin to hold them behind the will
low the Twin Falls contingent has a
battery to be relied on.
The game started with Buhl-Filer
getting their first man to bat on first
with a third-base line drive The
next three failed to find Bursting for
even nibble, and the locals took the
sticks. Faulkner found King of the
west-enders for low one to left and
reached first Patrick decided not to
hit them so early in the game and
went to the bench. Chaplin struck out
while Faulkner pilfered the second
sack. Johnson lifted high one to
center, which Ripley smothered, and
the west-enders came in from the
meadow. Bursting unlimbered and the
fret fhrQo p,,h1
sent to the morgue Twin Falls then
opened up sackful of runs, and Bal
ley, Kiersted, Mcclure and Bursting
each scratched a tally on the plate.
The Buhl-Filer boys failed to qualify,
and Twin Falls opened its half of the
third with some more runs by Pat
ten, Bailey and Kiersted Buhl-Filer
scored F. Charlton in the fourth and
gave the locals goose egg. The
west-enders received free passes for
two in the fifth, and scored Stradley,
Griffith and Barker, while the locals
sretaliated with mark each for Faulk-
ner, Patten, Chaplin and Bursting. The
visitors put Stradley over in the sew
enth and H. Benoit, Chaplin and John
son added three to the score for the
winners.
Both teams played good ball from
the start, the field men doing excep-
tionally good work under the weather
conditions. Chaplin will show equally
good, If not better form, than last
year, and will give the strength that
the pitching of Bursting. deserves. The
latter will work steadily with the To-
calls from now on, and the team will
round into shape within the next week
or two.
The schedule now being arranged
will insure high-class baseball during
the coming season.
The team will meet American Falls
next Sunday.
