TO EXTEND soHooLIAEoLnAsEs.

Senator Hale of Meade county has in.
troduced bill in the state legislature
which seeks to extend term. leases on
public lands indefinitely, in fact, if not
by direct legislation, which avoids the
constitutional limitation of leases which
stands in the way of long time leases at
present. 1t is based on the Wyoming
law, which state also places limitation
on lease terms and its provisions in brief
are to make five year leases, and at the
end of tnat period allow the lease holder
the option of retaining his lease at the
highest price bid by any other person
for the tract if he cares to meet the
price. If he withdraws the new lease
holder to pay him the actual cost of any
improvements which he has placed up
on the tract during the pendency of his
lease. Under present regulations he is
only allowed fifty per cent of cost price,
and has no preference rights on an in
creased bidding price for the tract.

10000 ARE KILLED
Villages-Shock Extended Over
All of Central Italy.

Rome, Jan. 13.-It is estimrted that
the number ofdead in the town of Avez-
zano from earthquake will reach 10000.
Later today it became evident as the de-
tails began arriving in the capital, that
the disturbance was greater than at
first believed in the province of Rome,
Abruzzi and Naples.
From numerous places in the affected
region calls for doctors and medicine
have been received. Pope Benedict was
recitiDg thanksgiving after the morn
ing mass, when the shock occurred.
The pointiff retained his composure and
gave orders Immediately that the inter-
ior and exterior damage to the vatican
be ascertained and he requested a re-
port as to whether assistance was re-
quired.
King Victor Emanuel also ordered all
the details of the reported earthquake e
and expressed desire to visit the
damaged cities.
Officially it is announced that the
center of the earthquake was between
Campobasso and Sarno and was felt
strongly at Perugia and slightly as far
as North Ferrara. 1t is stated that it is
not believed the disturbance extended
to Sicily.
The latest estimates of the number
killed by the earthquake places the total
at $4,000. 1t Is further estimated that
10000 were injured.
The shock in Rome was the strongest
for more than 100 years. There was no
loss of life in the capital but great danI-
age was done.

$4,000 PREDATORY ANIMALS
| KILLED BY FOREST OFFICERS.

A statement was today issued by the
local o office of the forest service showing
the number of predatory animals killed
by forest officers in four years on the
national forests of Colorado, Wyoming
and South Dakota. Since July !, 1910,
the total number of animals killed, in
cluding bears, mountain lions, wildcats,
lynxes, coyotes, and wolves is as follows:
1911. 1854; 1912, LAYS; 1913. 1879 ;
and 1914, 937; making total of 5,275.
Included among these were 240 wolves
and 4,474 coyotes.
1t is interesting TO note, the statement
points out, the marked decrease in the
number of animals destroyed each sue
ceeding year. Not only is this condition
shown to exist in the central Rocky
Mountain region, but also throughout
the national forests of the west Figures
compiled from the last five annual re-
ports of the forester show the following
totals for all the forests:
1910, 9,l02; 1911. 1871; 1912. 6,0S2;
1918. 1886 and 1914, Abs; total of
3l,977. OF this number %, ,129 were coy
otes, and / 1,O47 wolves.
A large majority of these animals were
killed, it is said, by forest. officers in con-
nection with other work and at practic-
ally no additional cost to the govern
ment.. A further decrease was effected
through the loan of traps and poison to
settlers and ranch owners living on and
near the forests.
In view of the fact that the forest SER
vice has for number of years, been
actively engaged in this work, these
figures, according to the statement, in
dictate that predatory animals are un-
doubtedly becoming less numerous.
Since it is held by forestry officials,
however, that wolves and coyotes, are
bred and live most of the year in the
foothills aud flats outside the forests,
and frequent the forests only when game
and domestic livestock are most abun
dant, they do not anticipate total exter-
mination of predatory animals until a
general movement is initiated to destroy
them throughout the entire public do
main.
1t is said that a concerted effort is
being made by forest officers in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming. and the Black Hills OF
South Dakota, this winter, to increase
the number of animals killed over any
previous year. En- view of the compari-
son shown by the records of the forest
service for the last four years, the re-
suits of this work is expected to prove
of considerable interest.

go PERSONS SENT
TO PRISON THIS YEAR

Imperial county in the 8 months OF
1915 already has contributed almost
as many lawbreakers to California
penitentiaries as were sent from this
county in the entire year of 1914
From January l, 1914, to January l
1915, 80 convicted prisoners were
sent to the state prisons, while in
less than 3 months this year 32 per-
sons have left this county to serve
time either at Folsom or San Quen-
tin penitentiary.
OF the 80 sent to prison this year,
10 were Mexicans and 22 were booked
on the county jail register as white.
Three persons were convicted on
grand larceny charges, l ON a charge
of violating parole, l on charge of
forgery, l on a charge of selling
mortgaged property, l on charge Of
assault with attempt to commit muir
der. on bad check charges and 21
persons were convicted on burglary
charges.
Prisons in California for the last
several months have been crowded to
their fullest capacity and recently for
6 weeks, because of the overcrowded
condition, San Quentin received no
prisoners from any county in Califor-
MIA. At Folsom penitentiary practi-
c2lly the same condition exists and at
present quarters formerly occupied by
the guards are being remodeled to

Soap should be used very spar
