Antelope Growing Less ~ Ranges
Are Fenced, According to census
Taken by Government.
Denyer.-A recent census of game
animals on the national forests In
Colorado shows . general increase
over the 1914 count In all species ex-
cepting antelope. according to re-
port submitted by the district forest
service to the United States Biologf-
cal Survey in Washington.
OF the predatory animals in the ma
tional forest areas, coyotes and wild
cats are increasing, while mountain
lions and wolves, according to the
1915 count, show slight decrease.
There were thirty antelope in the for
ests last winter, or five less than the
number In 1914.
Practically all the big game areas
in Colorado are included within the
national forests, the report states.
While there are many antelope on
ranges outside the national forests,
their numbers are gradually decreas-
ing, due to the fencing up of these
ranges.
In the winter Of 1915 there were
S.791 elk on the national forests, as
compared to 3,39S in 1914. The count
on mountain sheep in 1915 was 1882
as against 7,146 IN 1914. There were
21,501 black-tailed deer on the forest
areas in 1915, as against 1866 the
year before. The count on beaver
was 10,295 in 1915, compared to g.
$40 in 1914. There were 1865 black
bear last year and 1,499 in 1914. Es-
Inmates on the silver tip bear within
the forests showed 1926 as against 125
in 1914.
There were 115 foxes in the Colo
RADIO national forests, according to
the 1915 census. The Routt national
forest reported 21 wild dogs.
During the last three years 275
elk have been shipped into Colorado
from the Yellowstone park.

More Coal, Less Accidents, Last Year.
An increase in coal production and
a decrease in the number of fatal ac-
cidents in the mines are shown in the
annual report of James Dalrymple,
state coal mine inspector. which was
presented to Governor Carlson. In
1918 Colorado produced S,715,397 tons
Of coal, the report shows This was
an increase of 513,794 tons more than
the production in 1914. There were
1,866,06f tons of Ignite produced and
6.137,176 tons of bituminous. There
were 7.174 men employed as miners
and 1868 men employed in and
about the mines. Sixty-one men were
killed underground and three on the
surface. making fatality total of
sixty-four. The number Of men
killed per 1000 employed was 81.
while in 1914 It was Z. The number
Of men injured per 1000 employed.
however, increased from 33.6 to 56.7.
The only reason Inspector Dalrymple
can give for the increase in the nom
fatal accidents is greater attention on
the part of mine officials in report
ing the accidents.

KNOWS NEEDS OF PEOPLE.

That d. r. Hubbard, of Kuna, one
of the several Republican candidates
for nomination to the house of rep
resentatives in the next legislature,
is man who understands the needs
of the people and will see that they
are given proper representation from
this county, is apparent from the fol-
lowing appearing in a recent issue of
the Kuna Herald:
ID. r. Hubbard has just announced
his candidacy for the state legisla-
ture as representative from Ada
county. Having been in this fast de-
| veloping country almost from the
very first, he knows the needs of the
people and has spent much of his
time and energy in our behalf. Being
| interested in the we'll being of the
farmer, which means the we'll being
OF the business man, he will work
for the people. He is himself far
mer, one OF our people, and has run
up against our problems first hand.
Having just returned from a trip
through the east, in the interests of
our people, he is versed in the COM
narrative hopes, ambitions, methods
and results of the east and west. Or
dinarily, what is good for Ada county
is good for Kuna country. Hub
bard will work to our interest, in re-
gard to our water rights and general
interest. Just a few weeks ago he
met with the federal reclamation au-
thorities. He knows what they want.
He knows what the people want. He
is the man to bring about the best
conditions. This is not a political
proposition 1t is chance to rise
above party, to the man. His ability
is not subject to doubt. His inter
est cannot be questioned. He has
worked for the state. He has worked
for the county. He has worked for
! the Kuna country. His efforts en-
| brace all.

A CAMPAIGN CANARD.

The linking of the name of State
Treasurer John w. Eagleson, with
the so-called Ester h. Hale loan and
the attempt to use his connection
with that loan against him, now that
he is a candidate for reelection
brought about a little investigation
regarding the facts and nothing is
found that would in any way impli-
cate the present state treasurer with
any improper act or to indicate he
had done anything different than
any business man would have done
under the circumstances. Mention
has been made before that an effort
was being made to build a political
mountain out of this transaction.
Ester +. Hale is the mother in law
of State Treasurer Eagleson. Six
years ago she secured a loan for
$14, 100000 on 160 acres of land in
Ada county from the land board AT
that time Mr.. Eagleson was in bust
ness here. He helped negotiate the
loan. The land was planted to fruit
and sub-divided into 10 acre tracts;
afterwards it was sold off TO separ-
ate buyers All of this land was sold
or decided from two to four years ago
and the last subdivision was dispos-
ed of before he became state treas
nrer. His name never appeared
anywhere on the mortgage or papers
nor were the notes endorsed by him
The land had valuation OF $42, 900
at the time the loan was made. As
long as Mr.. Eagleson was handling
the tract, before he became state
treasurer, the interest was always
paid. Some of he parcels of land
were released as to the states mort
gage when the amount due the state
was paid The state treasurer has
never had a loan from the state at
any time.
After the subdivision of the land
those to whom it was sold, sought to
assume their proportion of the share
of the mortgage but as it has been
placed ON the entire tract there was
some difficulty in doing this and it
has not as yet been settled.

PRE-ELEcTIoN PROMISES
Candidate Geo. L Crum Speaks of
This Evil and Other Matters.

Hon. Geo. Il. Crum, of Lewiston,
candidate for governor, was in Mer-
idian Monday meeting friends. He
reports prospects for his nomination
as excellent
In commenting on politics Mr.
Crum stated that he looked upon the
governorship as 80 per cent bust
ness.
Its duties and responsibilities" he
said, ARE many, and the governor
should always be on the job transac-
ting business. / believe that public
officials, both elective and appointiye,
owe the highest service of which
they are capable, to the state. 1t is
their duty to stay on the job all the
time just the same as it is the duty
of an employee of private concern
Public business will not run itself
any more than private.
1t is highly important that the very
best men be secured to fill public
positions. In order, therefore, to be
in position to fill appointive posi-
tions with the most capable and
qualified men. / believe candidates
for public Offices should be entirely
free from prediction promises.
Il have made no promises to any
one for any position or otherwise or
led anyone to believe in any way that
he would be cared for, and | do not
intend to until after my election to
office. The prediction promise, as
| view it, is one of the greatest banes
of our government. 1t results in
saddling upon the state men who are
incompetent. We will never have eff
ficient service in our government un-
til the prediction promise becomes
thing of the past"
What we need in Idaho is better

the state. l heartily favor consti-
tutional amendment abolishing the

SECRETARY ANSWERS BIsBY.

Boise, August %, 1916.
Mr.. Thorn Bisby, Meridian. My Dear
Mr.. Bisby:
My attention has been called to
your letter in the Meridian Times, by
our president, Mr.. McDermott, with
the request that I explain our posi-
tion regarding the premiums in the
sheep department.
In making up the premium list for
the various classes of stock, it has
been the intention to make the prem
ium money, as near as possible, to
cover the expense of the exhibit, not
intending that it should be profit
making business for showing stock
at the various fairs.
You will admit one person can cas-
lily care for large number of sheep
without any injury to the flock,
while in other lines of stock, it costs
a great deal more to feed, care and
prepare them for exhibition purposes
than it does flock of sheep.
Our board has increased the prem
iums in sheep over 1915, from $486
to 1928, a pretty good boost for one
season. While the 1915 premium
list only called for 4S6, it was all the
COlhlulllSc VI Suetp uleu dSheu LOT
that department. The revision COM
mittee that adjusted these matters
before the annual meeting each year,
increased this amount to 1928, on
the recommendation of the Secre-
tary. While it is not yet what we
think it should be, we hope within
mother year we will be able to place
our premiums on the level with other
state fairs.
You will notice by comparison that
there is very little difference in the
money offered in Nebraska as offer
ed by the Gem State Fair.
1t is the object of the Gem State
Fair and believe of all State Fairs,
to encourage and promote the var
ious industries of the state, helping
the weaker to advance, and not de-
wing all the premium money to the
industries that can take care f them
selves.
Trusting this explanation will meet
with your approval and that you will
be an exhibitor at the 1916 Gem
State Fair, we are,
The Gem State Fair. by

business of the board on substan-
tial practical business basis. There
should be responsible head, and
those in charge of it should be on
the job all the time just the same as
officers of bank or trust company.
At present the business is handled
in haphazard manner. Each mem
Der of the land board is member of
numerous other boards, each of
which requires more or less time.
This only leaves a small portion of
their time to be devoted to the large
and increasing business of the state
land board.
"The Carey act projects, the state
timber school lands, state loans, etc.
are all handled through this board.
1t is therefore very important that
the members of the board or institu-
tion handling this big volume of
business should be competent and
qualified for this business, and sell
ected because of special fitness. I'm
til this is done we can never hope
to have efficient administration of
the state land boards business.
THE placing of the states business
on a business basis should not be
confined to the land board. 1t should
extend to all departments.
II maintain the business of the
state should be run just as though it
were private concern. If it were
handled in that way we would not
be handling two departments of ed
ucation, namely, State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction and Com
missioner of Education. This dupli-
cation should be eliminated in this
department and any other depart
ment where it exists. In fact, no de-
uartment or commission should be
continued which is not of service or
benefit to the people"
