RETURN FROM CAMPING TRIP

Elmer Cogswell and Elmer Potter
returned last Friday night from their
six weeks camping trip to the south
ern part of the state and New Mexi-
co. The first stop on their trip was
at Walsenburg. From here they went
to LaVeta where they spent a little
time in going up LaVeta Pass and en-
joying its scenery. Their next stop
was at Pagosa Springs. Here they
met two old Ebert county friends,
Bert Brooks and Geo. Fahrion. who
are in the meat business in Pagosa
Springs. From here the boys went to
Durango and Cortez. Montezuma
county. They spent about three
over the coun yy. They report good
crops around cortez, especially spuds.
They state that some government
land is still, open for homestead
ing yet, but that oil companies have
leases on large acreage of the land.
They left Cortez on the 18th for Gal
lup, New Mexico, a distance of 160
miles, on which trip they encountered
some very bad roads. At Gallup they
had their first experience with the
Indians, buying their provisions and
etc. from them. After short stay
here they went to Albuquerque where
they spent a day before starting on
their return trip home. On their
homeward trip they came through
Lasvegas, Ration and Trinidad, arriv-
ing home Friday night. They state
that the SantaFe is planning on build
ing a road from Gallup, New Mexico,
to Durango. On the whole the boys
enjoyed their trip very much and are
planning some on making the trip to
Cortez again next summer.

lighting the lamp. the oil remaining

rather hard to open caused Mrs.

scRAPpING OUR NAVY

The world has been fairly taken Off
Its feet by the proposition to scrap
billions of dollars worth of battle
ships. and then to cease building any
more for ten years. II was a daring
stroke on the part of America to pro-
pose such program, but America is
noted for doing big things. and this
newest proposition is merely In keep
ing with her way of doing that which
she sets about to accomplish.
{ The taxpayers ar every section of
America. and In every part OF the
world for that matter. should be heart
lily in favor of such program. There
is no question but the modern idea
OF each nation spending billions to
keep its navy ahead OF the other ma
tions goes long way toward keeping
the people of that nation poor. For IT
is the people who must pay for these
battleships. Every dollar spent in
maintaining a big navy and big
standing army comes directly out OF
the pockets of the taxpayers. And no
further good Is accomplished in the
end than to pile up lot of ships that
usually are found worthless when an
emergency arises.
The plan would do more to pre-
vent war than anything yet suggest
ed. Couple 1t with the plan offered
by Mr.. Wilson whereby nations would
have to give three months notice be-
fore declaring war, and you have proc-
tically put an end to 1t. Nothing is
going to be lost by going ten years
without building battleship. And
possibly at the end OF ten years every
nation entering into the agreement
will sign up to extend the holiday for
all time TO come.

ARE MANY KINDS OF SALMON
Bureau Of Fisheries, in Report on
Pacific Fisheries, Lists Large
Number of Varieties.

Salmon is salmon to most persons,
but there are many kinds of salmon
to those who know a hawk from a
handsaw" and a salmon from a sal
mon. The bureau of fisheries, in a
report on Pacific salmon fisheries, lists
the following Pacific species of the re-
nOwned fish. Chinook, quinnat or
king salmon; humpback or pink sal
mon; dog or chum salmOn SOckeyed
blue-back or red salmon; silver or
coho salmon, and steel-head trout.
All these salmon, with the exception
of the steel-head, are included in the
genus "Oncorhynchus," and that tough
looking word is made up of the
Greek word "Onkes," meaning barb
or hook, and another Greek word
"rynchus," meaning a snOut, so that
genus of fish is distinguished by a
"hOOk SnOut." The steel-head trout,
classed as salmon, belongs to a
closely related genus called "salmo,"
which is word probably derived
from the Celtic and the significance
Of which is disputed.
