The hunting season is over for 1921
and the state authorities have been
counting up the profits and losses, the
license fees collected, the deer shot, also
the hunters. Putting all of these things
together makes quite story, or could
make quite story II one was skilled 10
weaving such threads into fabric. A
verse writer in Life has made an attempt
to do this which Is not bad. Here il is:
"Smith. who had the hunting habit,
Ran across . snowshoe rabbit,
He missed it.
Later, most unwary grouse
offered q target Ike house,
He missed it-
Snug In his blind, Il was his luck
Almost to touch floating duck,
He missed Il.
When, broadside on, among the spruce,
There paused quite enormous moose,
He missed it.
Two miles away, mackinaw
Worn by guide he briefly saw,
he hit It."

There Is big lake ont In Nevada al
though one can't see it. Only by q
stretch OF imagination can one see where
IL once was; yet IL has been named In its
entirety by gsologists, Lake Lahontsn,
in honor of Baron Lshontan, sn early
explorer OF the head waters OF the Mis-
sissippi. This lake 10 comparatively re-
cent geologic ages covered an area Of
S400 square miles and In its lowest places
was $50 feet deep. 1t bad no outlet and
disappeared entirely by evaporation.
There are several small remnants Of this
sheet OF water, one of them known as
Pyramid Lake. The surface of Lake
Lahoptan is estimated TO have been 500
feet above the surface OF this later body
Of water. The dry bottom Of Lake La
hontan Is sand which the winds blow
into dunes, some OF them Is feet thick.
They change with the winds necessitat-
ing change Of rosdwsys and other things
Telegraph poles across this desert have
to be spliced to keep the wires out Of
the sand. Ii Is because Of the activity
OF the sand that IL has been brought be-
fore the public at the present time.

Anatole France, winner OF the Nobel
prize In literature, is credited with this
quotation: 81 think that men In general
are worse than they ssem. They do not
show themselves as they are; they hide
when they commit deeds which will
cause them to be hated or despised and
show themselves when they act In .
manner which will be approved or ad-
mired." Now what do you call that, q
pessimistic or an optimistic remark?
Does it mean that men are In hiding
most of the time because of their mean
ness, or does it mean that they are good
90 much OF the time they don't feel
normal when mp TO some cussedness?
A little while ago one heard q good
deal about the Hetch Hetchy Valley,
