Waller, still lounging in his

His Epitaph.

A receAt automobile accident in an
upstate county resulted In the death
OF the driver and the injury of two
passengers.
The coroner summoned several wit
nesses, among them a farmer living
near the scene of the accident. There
was yoluminous testimony regarding
the high speed at which the car trav-
eled. Witnesses said, too, that the
road was in bad repair. The coroner
finally reached the farmer who lived
near the scene.

THAT" commented Smith.
brings me to my story of what |
accomplished while l was in New
York. | want to tell YOU"
He paused, checked by the en-
trance OF a man through the door
that led into the meeting room of
the committee. The newcomer,
hesitating in the doorway, looked
casually at Waller, and, from that,
stared at Smith. The mems eyes
met and held for a long moment.
The stranger wore a fashy blue
suit that had in it a broad, lateral
stripe OF white. Above a wildly
lowered vest he had spread a curl
out cravat of brilliant red. His
derby was slanted to one side. He
looked like a low type of profess
sional gambler. There was about
him nothing striking except his
vulgarity, but something in his
stare built the encounter into a
real scene. The hint of fear that
had been in his eyes turned to eff
frontery. Standing there, perfect
ly still, his dissipated face a con-
fession Of sin, his clothing an out
rage against good taste, his whole
bearing an advertisement of weak
ness, he finally lowered his gaze
from Smith IS andlaughed.
The insolence of it was so pro
nounced, SO direct, that Smith
looked questioningly to Waller.
The stranger, a smile of impu-
dence still upon his lips, turned to
Miss Downcy.
where's Mr.. Mitchell?" he
asked.
Miss Downey evidently had seen
him before.
"He's still with Mr.. Manners
ley she replied coolly. She even
forgot to end the sentence on a
high key.
Don't guess I'll wait any long
er, then he announced, going
toward the door leading into the
corridor.
AS he went out he turned his
head so that he might see Smith
once more. He laughed again,
this time as if he felt some odd sort
OF embarrassment. He did not
close the door after him, and Miss
Downey rose quickly, as if by in
%stinet, to shut it and keep out some
unpleasant thing.
Who on earth was that ~
Smith asked, turning to Waller.
Cholliewollie showed real ex-
element.
"I1l bet 81 oo, ooo," he said in
a low tone, 'Sthat that fellow
knows something about you =
knew you years ago!"
Smith did not reply. He had
turned to meet Mannersley, who,
followed by Albert Mitchell the
lobbyist, was entering the room.

This market news service, however,
has not been conducted without serious
handicap. With the extremely limit ID
appropriation available for operating
expenses, it was necessary to circulate
the market reports almost entirely
through the secretaries of the local
farmers organizations in the various
counties and through such of the news
papers as would furnish space for
same. In view of the fact that many
communities are without local farmers
organizations and the further fact that
most of the newspapers over the state
have not seen fit to publish these re-
ports, 1t can readily be seen that many
growers, particularly in the isolated
districts, have not received the bene-
fits to which they are entitled.
| will illustrate the handicap under
which | am operating, by concrete
instance. in a community in which there
were no growers organizations through
which to work;
As this is being dictated | have
before me on my desk an article pub
lished in local paper in one of our
potato growing districts during the
shipping season, containing an int, :
view from one of the large eastern buy
ers who had just come into the state
to commence his seasons operations;
the article is displayed prominently on
the front page where no farmer can
fail to see 1t. and assures the growers
that while potatoes are worth AS much
as dollar a hundred at the time the
interview was given, that growers viii
have to look for a drop to seventy five
cents within a very few days. The
article In question was absolutely false
and misleading. The very day that
the interview was given potatoes we're

paper publishing the above interview

port sent out several days previous.

article in the paper would have had

district with the real facts. This Is the

DAHO'S fame as hunters para
disc is will known, not only to
i sportsmen within the state. but
to thousands of others outside.
many Of whom come from the
far east each season to shoot
big game in the mountains OF the
northern and eastern section. The fish
and game department has been ac-
lively endeavoring to preserve and
propagate the fish and game in Idaho
with the result its lakes and streams
are well stocked with members of the
finny tribe and the migratory birds
and larger game abound in the rich
and fertile valleys and in the higher
altitude in the mountains.
During the two years, 1915-16, there
were no less than $50 different
species of fish distributed and planted
in the lakes and streams Of the state
under the supervision Of the depart
ment. These fish were raised on the
four hatcheries in the state located at
Standpoint, Occur d'Alene. Hay Spur
and Warm River. In addition, 100, 900
rainbow trout fry was received from
the United States government hatch
cry and distributed to the waters of
Idaho. Some $4,000 land locked sal
mon eggs were rece:. ed from the gov
ernment. Matched in the state hatch
cries and planted in Alturas lake.
