So Daspry was right: "Salyator" was
the great wirepuller in this affair."
What part did the two Sevens Of Hearts

were We to draw from the fact that the
submarine built in accordance with Louis
Lacombe's plans bore the name D. the

As for Daspry. he paid little attention

Returns to Idaho.

Congressman Addison T. Smith has
returned to his home at Twin Falls
TO enjoy a rest until the converting of
congress again in December. To
News reporter, Mr. Smith stated:
We are certainly glad to get back
TO Twin Falls" remarked Mr.. Smith.
During my entire term congress has
been in recess but five weeks, which
has prevented me getting In personal
touch with my constituents, and as
certaining their views on matters of
general interest.
II was greatly surprised to observe
how much further the growing sea-
son is advanced here than In the east.
AT no place on our trip was there any
evidence of spring, and we saw no
green grass or blossoms until we
reached Idaho.
The agricultural department, in
distributing seeds. places Idaho in
the list of states last supplied, con-
tending that the season is about four
weeks behind the north central and
eastern states.
while the last congress enacted
some beneficial legislation. great
many laws were passed which were
entirely experimental, some of which
have been source of disappointment
to the administration.
Il think the great mass of the peo-
pie are glad congress has adjourned.
and they are endeavoring to be pa
tient while the new policies OF the
administration are being tried out.

rapidly improving, and many manu-
facturers are resuming operations af-
ter many months of idleness In New
York. Buffalo and Chicago | observed
that the employment agencies are ac.
tive in supplying the demand for la

No Charity Work.

State Game Warden Roy Jones
does not believe in charity work and
announces a new policy to be follow
ed by his department in that hereaf-
ter deputies will not be appointed
by him to serve without pay. as he
considers this policy as detrimental
TO the best interests of the fish and
game law.
This policy was made known In a
letter written by the state game war
den to party residing in one OF the
interior departments. He asked that
unpaid deputies be appointed to en-
force the fish and game law In GER
tain section OF the country. The state
game warden replied Directing to the
appointment OF deputies in this man
ner and stating the grounds for his
objections. The applicant answered
and strongly endorsed the stand TAX
en- by the warden.
Speaking OF the matter State Game
Warden Jones said the policy OF his
department would be not to appoint
deputies to serve without pay. He
briefly told the points he made in re-
ply to the applicant declaring that
many sportsmen he had talked with
had strongly endorsed the plan &c
have only paid deputies and not sc
many of them.

that the main reason such a string
