GAME HOGS ARE CAUSE OF FIRE
Serious Blaze Started by Shooting OF
Firearms

WALLACE, Idaho, Aug. ell
The unlawful shooting of game birds
at the mouth of the Fourth of July
canyon by numerous game hogs Is
attributed as the cause Of a serious
blaze there yesterday. when an area
Of 10 acres was burned over and
large amount of stull timber lying in
the chutes was destroyed. Owing to
the dry condition Of the grass and
underbrush It is thought that the ig-
nited gun wads from firearms start
ed the blaze. Considerable complaint
is being made by the residents of the
section of hunters killing grouse and
pheasants in violation of the game
laws.

In these days of rigid news censors
a foreign correspondent must have
real cleverness
Getting the News. and energy II he
would get the big
news as it is wanted right of the
hat"
An instance IS furnished by the
manner in which the death OF the pope
was covered by the United Press cor
respondent In Rome. Learning from
a thoroughly authentic source that
the pope was dead Mr.. Wood did not
wait for the formal and official notice
OF death from the Vatican. On the
contrary he sent code messages to
America giving the news Accordingly
the United Press papers carried the
story the day II happened.
Another remarkable triumph in Sc
curing news was scored by the Uni
ted Press when the American forces
captured Vera Cruz. The cables in
Vera Cruz were in unfriendly hands
and the United states first learned Of
the landing through a code message
from the United Press correspondent
in Mexico City. The news OF the
American landing reached the Mexi-
can capital with much speed. as was
natural. Realizing that reports out
of Vera Cruz would be slow the cor
respondent at once dispatched a code
messaFe--on its surface merely a pri-
vate fnessage-to Galveston. That re-
port gave Americans the first and au-
thentie news OF the taking OF Vera
Cruz As in the case OF the pope's
death most Of the news associations
relied upon routine methods for in
formation and were beaten out by sew
eral hours BY the United Press.
These Instances of energy together
with the other merits of the u. p.
service explain why that press associ-
alton is popular with newspapers and
why the United Press has the major

Defective hues caused the fire, which
