Advocates Laws
For Protection OF
Fish and Game
DIR. JONES, ASSISTANT Z. s. FISH
COMMISSIONERS, MAKES
STRONG PLEA.

After the house of delegates adjourn
ed yesterday DIR. F. Lester Jones, as
sistant United States Ash commission
err. addressed the body on the subject
OF fisheries and game. DR.. Jones
strongly advocated the establishment
Of department of game and fish In
the state of Virginia for the purpose
Of conserving rare fish species and
valuable birds and animals that are
fast becoming extinct.
Dr. Jones included in his address
remarks In regard to the stopping OF
the pollution of the different streams
and rivers of the State, declaring that
during the past summer bushels OF
dead Ash were found lying at the edge
OF streams into which manufacturing
plants poured their poisonous refuse.
He advocated the passage OF laws
which would prohibit this.
Dr. Jones declared the federal gov
eminent could not take steps to stop
this, but it could refuse to replenish
the streams where the state onered
no cooperation in the care of the fish
life.
He also told Of the disastrous eff
fects Of allowing dams to be erected
without the proper means of allow
| ing the fish to pass upstream to their
spawning beds. He dealt summary
with the fisheries of the coast, advo-
eating the passage of laws which
would give the fish holiday from the
nets set for them. stating that, should
the fishermen not give them chance
to breed. it was impossible for the
supply to last His remarks were
greeted with rounds OF applause. and
it is thought proper legislation will
accomplish what the commissioner ad-
vocates. There are now several bills
dealing with game and fish and the
pollution of streams before the gem
al assembly.

ton had q second, Mr.. Cox ordered

LONDON, Feb. 15.--Sweden has e.
tablished an interesting precedent in
exporting" electricity to Denmark,
which finds it advantageous to buy
electric current from the larger coun-
try owing to the absence of water
falls. The innovation opens up a re-
markable aspect.
AS engineers are generally agreed on
the advantages of generating electric
power in the bulk and distributing II
from large power stations to the ac-
tual users, it may be that in the near
future districts deficient in minerals
but richly endowed with natural pow
er may be the centers of a new and
important industry.

SENATOR JAS. H. BRADY
= = IS CANDIDATE FOR
REELECTION

Senator James H. Brady has an.
nounced his candidacy for the nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket to
succeed himself as United States SEN
ator. While this news will not startle
the public to any great extent, a pc
rusal of his announcement will be
found interesting.
l desire to announce to the people
OF Idaho that | am a candidate to
succeed myself as United States
Senator, subject to the primary cleo
ton to be held on the first Tuesday
of September, 1914.
Having always favored the election
of Senators by the direct vote of the
people, l cheerfully submit my can
didacy for nomination at the ap-
preaching election to the Republicans
OF Idaho, in order that they may de-
eide for whom they desire to cast
their votes for United States Senator
at the November election.
1t is usual in campaigns of this
character for candidates to make a
personal canvass of the state to meet
the people, and express to them per-
sonally their views on public ques-
tons. 1t is, however, apparent that
Congress will not adjourn before the
hrst OF September, and feel it is my
duty to remain in Washington re-
presenting the interests of my con
stituents, even though, by so doing, |
will be deprived of the pleasure and
advantage of meeting the voters be-
fore the primary election. | know
that the people of Idaho believe in
fair play, and that they will give due
consideration to my efforts to serve
them.
1t has been my good fortune to be
identified with Idaho and the develop
ment of her resources for the past 70
years, and have at all times, en-
deavored to do my full part toward
the upbuilding of our state and the
betterment of our civic life. On
January oath, 1918, the Legislature
elected me to the United States SEN
ate to fill the unexpired term of the
late Senator Hepburn. Since taking
oath of Office my purpose has been
to serve the people in an efficient
manner, and l invite them to inspect
my record and decide whether or not
my service in the Senate meets their
approval. l have no unkind word TO
say of any other candidates. 1t is
my desire to win on merit and on
account of services rendered in a
position entrusted to me by the peo-
pie of my state.
| have endeavored to serve the peo-
pie faithfully and conscientiously as a
member of the United States Senate.
If rejected, l shall continue to do so,
and promise to work earnestly and
increasingly for the best interests
of the people Of Idaho, and of the
entire west. There is much to be ac-
complished here, and the valuable ex-
perience l have had in this and the
previous Congress, together with my
important Committee assignments,
places me in a position to render still
more efficient service, and l shall
continue 10 work for the good of all
our people, regardless of party affiilia-
tons. In my labors shall know no
North, no South, no East, no West.
Just one great and glorious Idaho.
The highest ambition of my life is
to leave behind record of deeds
done, efficient service rendered, and
satisfied constituency.
