CHAMPION TRAPPER
GOES TO WYOMING

H. F. Kalkbrenner, the champion
trapper of southern Nevada, will be
missed next winter as he has con-
tracted for his services with the
Wyoming Stockgrowers Association
to cover the Red Desert, in Sweet
water country for the next eight
months. Under his contract Mr..
Kalkbrenner has deposited in the
bank guarantee fund from which he
checks for the pelts of range pests.
In addition to collecting the bounty
from the county in which he is oper-
ating. the Nevada man will also be
entitled to the cattlemen's bonus and
be allowed to retain the pelts for sale.
In this way it is estimated that his
winters operations will net him close
to $4,000, according to special dis
patch from Tonopah to the Reno
Gazette.
Mr.. Kalkbrenner, who is a jewler
by occupation, was very successful
in the southern part of the state dur
the winter of 1888 and only leaves
there for the reason that he believes
the constantly diminishing bands of
fur bearing animals would not war
rant remaining any longer. During
the past season his records show
that he killed 1872 coyotes. forty-two
;r.tx 81 mil &c
and two red foxes and 502 badgers.
He operated with 498 traps which he
visited once or twice during the week
according to the weather and indica-
tions of the pests on his rounds. To
visit the traps once week he would
have to cover 2222 miles which were
negotiated in an auto. which he pre-
ferred to a horse for the reason
that he could cover a greater extent
of country at less expense and with
created expedition. The business
was not without expense for he re-
ports having broken six windshields
in his rough jaunts off the main
travelled roads and also four sets of
springs. The earnings of an indus
trious trapper may be conjectured
from the fact that coyote skins sold
as high as eighteen dollars compared
with top price of nine dollars two
years ago.
Mr.. Kalkbrenner has operated in
Wyoming where he succeeded in con-
vincing the cattle and sheepmen
that the badger was the worst pest
of the range which should be exter-
minated without remorse. Under the
Wyoming laws badgers were pro-
tected, but the Nevada man dug lp
several holes in open ranges where
he displayed to the astonished stock
men remains of young lambs which
would be dragged from their mothers
and into the subterreanean dens OF
the badgers, which were supposed
to subsist on field mice, chipmunks
and groundhogs.
The ugliest of all pests is the
hpdrophobia skunk in the estimation
of the trapper. who says their bite is
fatal and they are more dangerous
than bigger varmits for the reason
that they will enter mans tent and
play like kittens.

REAL DEMOCRATS TO
FORM NEW PARTY

The Associated Press report yes
terday carried a Fort Worth, Texas,
dispatch stating that two factions of
Texas Democrats, dissatisfied with
the present party organization, deter
mined upon separate lines of attack
to accomplish return to "the prin-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson" in
state and federal governmental
affairs. One faction. headed by for
mer Governor James E. Ferguson,
left the present Democratic organiza-
ton and formed the American
party" which it is proposed to make
national in scope before the next gen.
eral election. The other faction, led
by former Senator Joseph w. Bailey.
laid down a declaration of principles
to be followed in carrying the fight
for party reconstruction to the regu-
lar Democratic state convention.
Delegates of both factions heard
Senator Bailey's address. The only
apparent difference in opinion be-
tween the factions was in regard to
the methods to be used in attaining
desired ends.
Mr.. Ferguson declared I'VE are go
ing to jump the fence" and form the
American party of the United States.
He called upon the people of the
country to meet in their respective
precincts and organize county and
state conventions and select dele
gates to a national conference in
1920"
The platform adopted by the Bailey
followers set down twelve principles
that favor an amendment to the fed
eral constitution requiring that all
the people, express belief in written
constitution and faithful adherence
to it's provisions, declare for state
rights, oppose amendment to federal
constitution depriving states of right
to control voting "for purely on
GERS" denounce the growing tend
ency" to regulate everything by law.
denounce growing extravaganza"
of state and federal government:
oppose governmental ownership of
railroads, but favor limited regula-
| ton. oppose monopoly and socialism,
| advocate free speech, oppose per-
manent alliance with European
countries politically or engaging in
European struggles for territorial
aggrandizement, oppose class legis-
lation, demand theoretical and abso-
lutte separation of church and state.
I'VE hold that the first and highest
duty of this republic is to its own
citizens" the platform declares in re-
ferring to international alliances,
"and we deny its right to expend our
taxes or to sacrifice lives of our sons
| in fighting wars which do not involve
the honor of our country or the well
fare of our people"
Opposition to woman suffrage and
national prohibition is expressed in
the platform adopted by the Ameri-

GOLDBERG URGES AN INTEREST IN WATER
 SPORTS THRU STATE

Harold s. Goldberg of Phoenix, now at Stanford university. adds his boost to aquatic sports in Arizona by writing to the sporting editor of The Repub- lican, urging swimming, diving and plunging meets throughout the state. He favors honors for clubs as well as individuals, and intimates that, upon his return, he migh go after one of the individuals himself. Goldberg's letter will also be a stimulant to the membership drive of the Olympic aSSo- citation that is now undergoing a re- organization. His letter follows:
 T have written today to Albert Pin ney, hoping that he is still in Phoenix, about a matter that think will be a thing that might well be started in Arizona. I have been thinking of this matter quite bit of late, and the more think of it the better it seems. It is with regard to the boosting of swim ming as a sport over the state Of course, I don't mean for pleasure, as I know that it is quite popular. es pecially in the summer time, but as a competitive sport, such as tennis, track, basketball and all the others. This sport hasn't had much place in | lilo SijOi tS Ol Al lIOIlc u Oettt, e11ld HUN that most of the towns have tanks, think it would be a good scheme to start something. Phoenix has good material and I should think there is i lots more over the state Tn teams l have in mind might come from Phoe- nix Soldiers and Sailors club or some | similar organization), Tucson, Univer- sity of Arizona, Tempe Normal Indian l school, and from several other sources.
 Dual meets might be held with 8 1 final big open meet in which all clubs will participate for club championship of the state and individuals for indi
 vidual championships. A cup might be provided for the winning team. There are great possibilities in this, in my
 opinion, and I have written to Pinney
 of Phoenix. McKale of the U. of A, and the atheltic director of Tempe Normal, asking their opinion.
 AS the sporting editor of The Re publican, you are in position to know
 something of the sport condition in
 Arizona, and I would like your opinion
 on this matter. Also, a little publicity
 might tend to start things moving
 My reason for starting this is in a way selfish. as I am doing a little plunging for distance, and would like to have some use for it after I return . home, and, again, I'd like to see it fol other reasons. Yours truly,

By the time Jack Dempsey is 30 years old he'll be fairly well polished off If he ever got inside of college we'd venture the prediction he would lead his class. For he has a curiosity to know the why and wherefore Of everything and if there is a stunt he can't do he wants to learn how.
 Before he took up training for his fight with Willard at the Overland club on Maumee Bay, just outside To- ledo, he didn't know 8 thing about a piano. But he found nice big piano in the clubroom and no one to play it. So Jack began picking out tunes him self. He has a musical ear and he's learning.
 You can tell from the expression on his face that he is trying to pick out some elusive notes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 30.-The we'll balanced track team of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania qualified r men today in the trial events for the track and field championships of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Asso- citation of America, to be contested in Harvard stadium. Sixteen universities and colleges qualified money in eleven events. There were no trials in the mile and two mile runs, each of which will be run off in one heat tomorrow.
 Although Pennsylvania led the field in the number of athletes qualified, Cornell, with 10 men eligible to com pete in Il events, was thought by many tonight to have the best chance to win the championship because of the Ithacans' strength in the mile and two- mile runs
 Michigan qualified F men, largely through the efforts of Carl E. Johnson, who placed himself in the finals to- morrow in the 100-yard dash, the 220- gard hurdles, the high jump and the broad jump.
