Big Game Increasing.

There are approximately 5000 elk,
1850 deer, 235 moose, 1850 mountain
sheep, 672 bear and 230 antelope in
The national forests of Wyoming, &C.
cording to the 1916 census taken by
the forest service. This shows an in
crease of 40 per cent in elk, AZ per cent
in moose, 26 per cent in antelope, ne
half of one per cent in bear, and a de-
creas of 8 per cent in mountain sheep,
in the figures reported for 1915. The
protection afforded these large game
animals on the state game preserves
is considered responsible for these in
creases by the district forester.
Hunters killed 209 elk, 26 mountain
sheep, 4 moose, and 24S deer, while
predatory animals were responsible
for the loss OF. IS elk, AZ mountain
sheep and liz deer. During 1916 the
combined efforts Of the biological sur
vey, local hunters, stockmen and for,
est officers resulted in the destruction
of one mountain lion, 1872 coyotes,
81 wolves and ID wildcats on the
national forests of Wyoming. In spite
of this, the census shows that these
animals Increased at the rate of 8 per
cent for coyotes, IA per cent for wild
cats and II per CEN for mountain
lions. A decrease of about one per
cent was shown in the number of
wolves on the national forests of this
state.

Record Wool Clip.

Although Wyoming's wool clip
this year, according to the present
predictions, may be much lighter
than was the clip of 1916, the pre-
vailing prices establish that it will
sell for more money and will es-
tablish a high price record for the
state. The lowest estimate of the
1917 clip, which is reliable, places
it at 2S,000,000 pounds. Ruling
prices indicate that the average
price of 40 cents per pound will
be obtained, which means that the
value of the clip will be $ll 200, 900.
Last years clip, the most valuable
in the history ofthe wool-growing

TIME TO ACT.

The Federal officials are certainly to be congratulated if the recent raids throughout the country have effective ly ended the Industrial Workers of the World activities. If the same of
 ficials only had the power to raid the Industrial I. w. W.'s who are boosting prices and holding up necessities the nation would be at point where it could really accomplish something. If the government lacks the power to disband this reasonable aggregation of price boosters why not take it, as in the case of the weaker brethren who organize under a different name.
 The un-American propaganda of price boosting, while the people groan under their burdens has given rise to the very grave suspicion that there is not concerted, earnest effort being made to alleviate conditions. The prices of but few articles dropped at all, and the most of them have taken another leap in the air; for joy, as it

were, that they are to be regulated.
 The government has the power to put down sedition and treason where ever found, why is 1t not possible to give the people an honest. forceful regulation of necessities. The war has been in progress nearly nine months and the wrangling solons at the nations capital cannot yet agree on a war tax, especially where 1t touches their interests.
 Drastic measures may be necessary before these plunderers find out that the nation is tired of being held up for profit; but when the awakening comes the reaction will be but the stronger for the delay.
 President Wilson has importuned Congress to hasten legislation, and has been rebuffed at every turn. He has asked for action and he gets ora tory.

MARTYRS TO GIRDLEs.
4 Native eretsst Against Fsn,inins
 Fashions iH Japan.

A caussic Japanese critic. Saito Man, has this to say In the Tokyo Advertiser about women's fashions in Japan:
 Archaic costumes, especially those universally worn by ladies. demand re. form. The indigent world can be cloth ed out of the materials wasted In gor- geOus kimono sleeves. Nothing is so absurd as the long, heavy, pendulant sleeves attached to d girls holiday ki- mono. They serve no purpose, impede locOmotion and are a pitiful spectacle. The girdle Is more cumbrous and ex- pensive, especially those woven in one piece of heaviest silk.
 Formerly the latter were only worn at weddings and state affairs; now ev- cry geisha has one. Every wife must have one to sport at the thcater. In price this maruobi varies from 30 to 1000 yen ($l5 to $JOW and upward. To girdle it requires all the strength of a well built husband or father. 1 do not know any Japanese woman who ever succeeded in putting on one herself.
 ''It is over three feet wide, folded into half that width when worn, and its length Is three times the full height of it's wearer. In weight 1t is terrific. thickly embroidered as 1t is with gold en threads. It is chiefest attraction in the whole dress scheme of Japanese wOmanhood. One might as well ask woman to discard her hair as 1t. Every well dressed Japanese Lady is a martyr to her girdles. Her entire waist is GOV cred with layers of belting. From the viewpoint of health the girdle (obD is a most vile contrivance. as every doc. tor asserts""

Luminous Eyes.

Cats among animals and owls among birds. says w. H. Hudson in his book, "Idle Days In Patagonia" are the most highly favored of any creatures in the matter of luminous eyes. The feline eyes, as of puma or a wildcat, blaz- ing with wrath. sometimes affect one like an electric shock. but for intense brilliance the yellow globes of the owl are unparalleled" Mir. Hudson asserts that nature has done comparatively lit- tie for the human eye either in these certifying splendOrs or in beauty. He says that in Brazil he was greatly i'm pressed with the magnificent appear ance of many of the negro women, but that if they had only possessed the golden rides of certain intensely black tropical birds their unique love liness" would have been complete.

REALISTIC sTAGEcRAFT.
The Electric Light 10 Responsible For
 Many Innovations.

tUUOVottOUos
 The introduction of electric light was, of course, responsible for greater inno- vatiOns in the art of stage decoration than any other one thing. It was now possible to light up equally we'll any portion of the stage. and so the apron" was dispensed with and the picture frame prOscenium introduced.
 The cry for realism which Ibsen'S S dramas had aroused was now taken up by the scene builders with enthusi- astic vigor, and mature" was repro duced in every material detail. "We must show life exactly as 1t is," be came their motto.
 These changes naturally also had an effect upon the actors themselves and upon what they said. Formerly the actors were continually conscious of the presence of the audience, and to a considerable degree addressed 1t di- rectly. Now they could interpret the story on the stage, entirely ignoring. apparently, the presence of the audi ence.
 This change in the conception of the play as a whole, as being made up not alone of dialogue and recitation, but also of action and pictorial representa- tion, has had Il very farreaching effect on our present day conception Of the drama.-Review of Reviews.

THAT Secretary McAdoo will strike a snag this time when he at tempts to place his advertising in the smaller newspapers of the country for the sale of liberty loan bonds is self-evident by the action taken by the editors and proprietors of over six thousand papers in the United States, who have taken the position that while they are willing to print the news they will absolutely refuse to give advertising space free. The last Liberty Loan Bonds series had one million dollars appropriated for its publicity, which all went to the Providence Journal, the New York World and the Lord Northcliff pap CTS, the smaller publications being left out entirely. When the first loan was foated the smaller papers were asked for free publicity, and they gave of it to spare. They cut the cheese and the larger papers ate it leaving the crumbs of patriotic effort for the publishers. The country pap CTS are being ridden to death by free arising from war needs. They are getting tired of it; conse- quently when the next bond issue is brought before the public the secre- tary's cheap tricks will get it no pub licity without it is paid for.
