LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Metie7 Pictures

Mir. Editor was very interested in your editorial in this mornings paper entitled Picture Shows and am pleased to note that you admit that the pIctuFee are capable of doing much that Is gaod but at the same time point out that they are crowded with So much that .s suh- ject to severe criticism that thele is an insistess demand that they Dc eioAfsd er that which serves to instruct in the way of crime. l have yet to see that pic- ture that serves to instruct in tiie way of crime. Maybe they have some in the market that certain people might judge in that manner but any way they may be judged is there enough to crowd the film footage that is being exhibited h the United States today to cause the in sistent demand mentioned for a clearance of this one only defect that your edi- | torfal mentions. and will you tell ms 1 where this insistent demand comes from Does it come from the picture fan, th' millions you mention who every day wtt. | ness tine varied programs?
 note also you mention that the for bidding of certain pictures in some citie | is bound to spread throughout the coun | try which is rather a hard prediction

THE GRANGERs, NEEDS.

When the master of the state grange in his address at the session in Hart lord this week advocated the enforce ment Of the prohibition law by Connec- ucut in unison with the federal govern neat he took practically the same stand which Governor Lake did ip his inaugu- ral address when he declared that pro- 1i5iuon had been held to be the law of .isa land and that it was the duty of she legislature as the result to enact leg isiadon which will ensure the positive anforccment of 1t.
 T. will be with the assistance that the Ftatos can give that prohibition enforce nent VIII become the most effective It has been shown for the past year that fhe efforts Of the federal authorities in she enforcement of prohibition have amounted to little and Prohibition Com missioner Kramer doesn't appear to be at all certain that it will ever be possi- ble to make the country dry. Just as long as the law exists it should be en- forced It ought not to be law for g few to enforce, and it cannot fail to bt realized that it is only the law that i. znforced that is respected.

KILLING THE BUFFALO.

In view of all the efforts which have been made to prevent the extermination of different forms of bird and animal life tie surprise the report that sportsmen have been given permission to go onto Antelope island in Great Salt Lake and shoot the 400 American bison which live there at s200 head.
 Buffaloes are not as numerous as they were at one time, and there is of course no such opportunity as Buffalo Bill had to new down these animals in this day end generation. The fact is, however, that buffalo hunting is So nearly impos- sible that not much difficulty is exreri- enced in getting the price asked for the chance to hunt this herd. And in con- nection with the hunting it is to be re- alized there will be an increase in the | neat supply while proper use will be | made of the hide and head.
 The situation on Antelope island ap- tears to be much the same as that of
 many farmers who feel that they have
 suffered sufficient loss from the depre. dations of the deer, since it is upon their crops that the deers get their living. The 1 DuIaloeS are occupying an acreage Wnlch | is desired for cattle It is therefore nec- essary to get rid of the buffaloes or else | have provision for their maintenance \ and it is in this latter effort that there has been very little response.
 l It had been expected that thoke inter.
 ested In the preservation of the bison
 would come to their rescue. Possibly l they felt that they were being worked l that they were being subjected to tht | tricks of. those who appeared to havt
 secured an advantage and were deter mined to make the most of it. But it ii evident that those who have undertaken ! to profit from the buffaloes are going tt l get their price one way if not anothe and the result is going to be large de crease in a once numerous animal ol
 the western plains. It is true that tn department of the interior maintain
 that there are enough without these t
 prevent extermi1.ation but it is neverthe
 less evident that the danger of extermi nation is increased when such a larg ; humber of the comparatively few whic are left are put up for targets fo sportsmen.

SCALING MT. EVEREST.

Another effort is going to be made to seo whether it will be possible for a climber to reach the top of Nit. Everest which~is claimed to be the highest peak in the world, or whether such an accom- plishment will be left to some intrepid nirman who is willing to take the chance of finding a landing place up on one of the cornices of this monarch of mon archs
 Great interest will therefore be at- tached to the effort which will be made by the British Alpine club and the Royal Geographical society to reach the hither- to unvisited point which rises to such a height, 'over 2s,oo0 feet that it is uues- toned whether one could exist there without 9 supply of oxygen. Efforts have been made to scale peaks in that region but without success though heights of 22,oOO feet have been reach. cd.
 Nit Everest has thus far deffed con quest- It has been impossible to get tn, right to attempt the climb it for tha part. of tho world has been closely guard cd from the invasion of other people, bu now that permission has been obtaine, it can be anticipated that plans will b, made for the undertaking which vii demonstrate whether the task is likel. to be accomplished in the early futur in case the preseLt plan fails.

VALUABLE GOVERNMENT RECORDS.

While much is being said in regard to safeguards for property that cannot be replaced and in behalf of fire prevention, there appears to be an excellent oppor- tunity for congress to take some of this to heart in connection with the govern ment records which if damaged or de- stroyed, cannot be replaced at any price.
 This is emphasized by the fire this week in the commerce department build- ing where a blaze from some unknown origin was the means of threatening with destruction all the census records and actually did cause damage which will require considerable outlay to re- store. Water did more damage than fire but it was because of conditions which made fire possible.
 There is the possibility that the un- restorable loss will be less than at first anticipated, and possibly less real dam age has been done than estimated, but it has been shown that fire is not an i'm possibility amongst records of the gov ernment, which, if destroyed, there is absolutely no way of replacing. It is tc be supposed that extraordinary care will be taken in a building of that character
  fire possible, but supposition doesn't ac complish much in the face of the fac that fires do occur.
 According to one estimate it is figured that it will require two million dollar to make good the damage which has beel done, restoration being possible onl, when records which have been soaket can be deciphered and copied, but it i far preferable that such outlays shoul be made in the construction of fireproo buildings or vaults which would serve t give the protection that is necessary and when it concerns records and docu | ments which are valuable and cannot | replaced, the getting of which cost man
 millions of dollars, the need of such ac
 tion is all the more apparent. There just as much reason why congres
 should profit from such a lesson as the1
 would be for a private corporation unde

Wolf steak Is at a discount in Yen county, Arkansas,
 Demand was brisk for q time on the part of one prospective customer and leading citizen, but as facts later revealed, this was due largely to un- belief in the source of supply. The offering which was made was declared too tough for consumption. Neverthe- less. the United States Biological Sul- Vey, which purveyed the offered deli- cacy, increased materially in the esti. nation of farmers and stock raiselE in the vicinity.
 The steak came from wicked ''varmint." which had heavy stock killing records for the last five years. Efforts of local hunters to kill this animal had failed. due to its cunning in eluding traps and ability to keep out of range of rides. A trained hunt- CT and tTapper was finally put on the trail ey the government predatory animal inspector for Oklahoma and Arkansas.

THE BALLoONIsTs.

There is much that remains to be told in connection with the flight of the American balloonists into the wilds of Canada. From what has been disclosed thus far 1t doesn't appear that the par iy Was ordered to take this trip, but lhat it was started with knowledge and approval of the authorities, and so far ls has been revealed nothing has been Eained from it except the experience, the loss of the balloon and the possible op- portunity for those who took part in it Co make some money on the side.
 From what one of the party has told it was not necessary to have proceeded into tho Hudson Bay region in order to land. There were two to three other opportu- mites. which were disregarded They were out to make long distance flight and they had the courage to accomplish r in spite of the weather conditions and Other difficulties encountered.
 From what has been reported no facts have been ascertained which were not already known. Canadian forests even in a mild mid winter are only what might have been anticipated whether they were approached by a balloon or by dog s,tdge. While they appeared to have the courage necessary for such a flight into the north at this season of the D year they went poorly prepared, havine l-suficient food and no water, being Nithout maps or charts and in a terri toy where they were not at all acquaint fd In view of the suffering experienced q, is not likely that they will attempt another such flight under such condi lions. and 1t is evident that there i: ucthing about it that would encourag, rthers to mako similar fight at thi, :irse of year under like conditions
 ono of the regrettable features of thei return to civilization was the i'll feel ing manifested between two of the part, and the cropping out of the indication that exaggeration may have been in dulged in for the purpose of turnin. their experiences into cash by rerresent ing them other than they were. Suc] conduct may do more than anything els 10 lead to an investigation of the entir affair.
