greatly appreciated by his many old friends hogathered to hear him speak.
 The last speaker Friday was Gov. Geo. W. Hays whose speech was in the nature of a report of his stewardship. He spoke for ar hour and was giv- en close attention. The full text Of the governors speech is printed elsewhere in today s paper.
 Features Saturday that created q great deal of interest and amusement were the old fiddlers contest and the pole climbing contest. In the fid- dler's contest R. B. Gray won first prize; w. o. McCord,sec- ond prize; and Col. Brewer, third prize.
 No feature of the celebration created more genuine merri- ment than the contest among the barefoot urchins in their attempts to climb the greased pole and secure the two dollar bill pinned upon the top of the pole. Buster Highland was first to scale it's greasy heights and secure the prize, and the contest was so greatly enjoyed that a second one was staged, the second prize being won by Robert MeNairy.
 There were 26 refreshment booths, lunch stands, and oth- CT amusement concessions on the ground, including a moving picture show and merry-ro- round.
 There was a large crowd on the ground both day and night and the order was remarkably good for an occasion of this kind.

thropic and humane activities of
these men. There were but few
hundred buffalo left when the work
began, and it is rarely that. a race
has reached such small numbers and
had the opportunity and the vitality
to survive and increase. For a race
of wild creatures to fail almost ut
terly, passing in little more than a
century from seventy-fve million to
few hundred, is extraordinary. That
there should be brought about an in
crease from the few hundred to sew
eral thousand in little more than a
decade, is still more unusual.
In our country twenty-seven states
today have buffalo, ranging in num-
Der from a solitary specimen or two
in a geological park to a few score or
a few hundred in a State reservation.
Canada has nearly thirteen hundred
in three large reservations and it is
estimated that in far northern Atha-
basca are four or five hundred roam
ing the wilderness unrestrained.
There may be altogether, $500 to-
4,50O.
In the United States many of the
buffalo are closely confined, but most
of the large herds roam the ranges
as free and far more safe than their
wild progenitors, always owing their
safety, of course, to the watchful care
of the same human race that came so
near exterminating them. The world
changes for the better, and in no wise
are these changes more marked than
in the fact that man, the destroyer, is
steadily becoming man the conserva-
tor and protector of the wild life that
once he so ruthlessly destroyed.

PASSING OF THE BUFFALO.
There Were Once Millions of Them
But Now Only Few Thousand.

The rescue of the buffalo, more
properly called bison, from extinction
is a romance of that fight for conser-
vation that goes on in this country
with ever-increasing vigor, relates
Winthrop Packard in Our Dumb AMI
mails. Very many species of useful
and beautiful wild life are today
threatened with extinction through
ule length and breadth of the land,
yet comparatively few of our people
realize this and fewer yet are willing
to make personal sacrifices to save
this wonderful heritage to the chill
dren of the future.
Scarcely a half century ago the
buffalo roamed our western plains in
almost uncountable numbers, from
Canada to Mexico To the red men
who then roamed the plains with
them they were an unfailing source
of supplies, food, clothing, housing
and fuel To the white men of the
region they were all these and repre-
sented also the wonder and romance
of the primitive open world and the
historic past. Cortez and his band
of Spanish conquistadors %ere the
first white men to see one. They
found him confined in the menagerie
at Montezuma' capital as rare and
wonderful animal from the untrod-
den wilds to the north, for Mexico
City is three hundred miles south of
the natural range of the bison.
"A wonderful composition of div
ers animals,' says the Spanish chron-
icler who described the specimen, re-
ferring to it as "the Mexican bull.
1T has crooked shoulders, with a
hunch on it's back like a camel; the
flanks dry; it's tail large and its neck
covered with hair like lion. 1t is
cloven-footed, its head armed like
that of bull, which it resembles in
fierceness ands has no less strength
and agility
In 1912 Englishment saw bison
near what is now the city of Wash
ington, D. c., and after that date they
were more commonly seen rowing
throughout various portions of what
is now the United States, and occur
ring in some parts in immense herds.
The open region Of the Mississippi
valley, where the land was unforest-
ed but we'll watered. was the true
buffalo range There the early ex-
plorers found the animals in such
numbers, in herds of such size. that
only superlatives could be used III at
tempting to describe them. TEEN
ing myriads." countless herds, in
credible numbers are favorite
phrases, which can give only an in

ADEQUATE idea of the extraordinary

adequate idea of the extraordinary
spectacle often presented. 1t has
been estimated that on the plains
alone were forty million, on the prai-
ries thirty million, total of seven
ty-five million of these superb ami
mails, wonderful heritage, scattered
over an area of some three million
square miles.
Looked at from an economic point
of view here was marvellous source
of free food, fur. leather and other
products that might easily have been
conserved as an unfailing supply to
help lessen today's high cost of llV-
ing. The Indians of the earlier days
thus utilized the herds, their inroads
upon them for meat and skins in no
wise equaling the natural increase.
Then came the white men, supplying
the wandering tribes first with
horses and later with firearms, and
the decrease in the numbers of the
buffalo began. Yet even this did not
presage extinction. But when the
railroads crossed the plains, giving
the white hunters easy access to the
hitherto distant and inaccessible
places, and the vast rush to slaughter
for the hides alone began, the end
was in sight. 1t took the buffalo too
long to learn the meaning of a rifle
shot and the danger of mans pres
ence, and when they did learn it, in
part at least, it was too late.
A buffalo robe" today is a curiosl-
,tv hardly to be obtained and worth,
in good condition, perhaps hundred
dollars. Fifty years ago one or two
were in every farmers sleigh, and
they could be bought for only few
dollars. Yet no finer robe for warmth
and comfort could be found. The
ruthless robe-hunters at the rail-
heads On the western plains were
slaughtering the great animals by the
thousand, taking merely the pelts
and leaving the carcasses to rot OF
feed the vultures where they fell.
Thus the buffalo passed with ar1az-
ing and disconcerting suddenness
and thus much of our wild life is
passing today, unnoticed in its going
bv the thoughtless crowd. Even o1
those who knew, not many could be,
lieve that such amazing numbers
| could pass from the face Of the earth
so RAPIDLY. Now only few scattered
remnants remain, here and there
mainly on reservations where the!
are carefully protected under govern
ment supervision.

TN HE question of suf-

 is one of vital in terest and universal i'm portance. There are thousands of homes in the country, villages and in the suburban districts which gives the same ad- vantages and conveniences that are found in city homes that are supplied by public water systems but for these compara- lively few homes so equip ped, there are many times their number that are not. That the owners of many of those homes have not improved their water sys- tems is due to a mistaken idea about the expense of doing so, and often times because they do not know how to go about it and ob- tain the best results.
