 ico" which proved such a big
 success last night, will be re-
 peated. This is a William Fox feature presenting Edmun d Breese in Alfred Sutro's Drama

 Friday and Saturday nights, comes "The Reward" a four part Mutual Masterpiece, present. ing Bessie Barriscale, the Yer satile film Star This is a vivid picturization of life behind the scenes and shows how one chorus girl realized life's greatest oppor- tunity.
 "Snobs" a Jesse L. Lasky pie turization of Geo. Bronson-How- ards comedy by that name, is the rare treat offered to the Williams public, Sunday night Oct. II.

the supreme court that proof of

Catching Live Alligators

ALLlGATORS are usually hunted at
night. The hunter is equipped with a
light canoe, large-bore, double-barreled
shotgun, and a big bull's-eye lantern He
paddles noiselessly through the swamps,
flashing his light to locate the prey. An
allgators eyes look like green balls of fire
on the water. If carefully approached the
beast will lie still and allow the hunter to
paddle up to him, quietly awaiting the
approach of the fascinating light When
within a few feet of the alligator the
hunter discharges both barrels at its eyes;
this usually kills it outright. The body
is then secured with graphing hook be-
fore it can sink, and dashed fast to IA con-
venient stump, out of water, to be picked
up on the return. Frequently thirty or
more in a night are killed by this method.
In securing live alligators it was neces-
sary to devise an entirely new method.
The dens, which are burrows under over
hanging river-banks, are located in the
daytime. When an inmate is located.
it is prodded with long pole, on the
end of which is firmly attached a
wooden ball about six inches in diameter.
When the alligator is enraged it snaps at
tn" pole and seizes it in its Jaws An alli-
gator never relaXes its grip, and hanging
on to the stick, is drawn out of the hole.

PERHAPS the most unusual of farms
is the alligator farm.

)ERHAPS the most unusual of farms
is the alligator farm.
For years the increasing demand
for alligator hides has been great in
centive to hunters, the result being that
the millions of saurians that formerly held
sway over the vast swamps of Florida
have been nearly depleted. AS an evil
dence of the ruthlessness with which this
slaughter has been carried ON, the United
States Fish Commission reports that be-
tween 1890 and 1900 more than three
million alligators We're killed in Florida
alone. Still the slaughter goes on; and,
since Florida has neen so nearly cleaned
out, the hunters have transferred their
activities to Louisiana, Texas. and Mis-
sissipp. Thousands of allgators are
killed annually in each of these States,
and at the present rate the alligator will
be extinct in a very few years.
With the idea, therefore, of producing
an article that is becoming more and more
scarce, and on which the market value is
increasing by leaps and bounds, George
Earnest of Los Angeles conceived the idea
of starting an alligator farm.
When it is understood that an alligator
two feet long is about ten years old, that
aligators do not breed until they are
thirty years old, and that the specimens
have to be taken alive few of the obsta-
cles attending the enterprise become self
evident.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-22

heads are mostly solid bone, and an alliga-
tor ten feet long has brain not much
larger than walnut. They hibernate
during the winter, and for six months
from October to March-eat absolutely
nothing. They have no tongues, the
mouth being filled with spongy mem
brane which enables them to open it
under water without swallowing drop
The lower jaw is fixed and immovable,
and they snap and bite by raising and
lowering the upper jaw. They display
absolutely no intelligence, although Mr.
Earnest did succeed, after eighteen months

of patient effort, in teaching two females
to climb runway and slide down chute
into one of the lakes.
The "crop" on this strange farm can not
be gathered until it is thirty years DID, as
that length of time is required for them to
reach commercial size. Were it not for
the fact that the stock is being constantly
replenished by frequent hunts, that the
farm is visited annually by thousands of
tourists who pay an admission fee, and
that many young alligators are sold as
souvenirs, it is doubtful whether the
enterprise would pay.
