Vancouver, b, c., July 14.-Fur
sealing in Alaskan and British Co.
lumbian waters, which suffered for
many years because of defamation
of the herds through indiscriminate
killing, has returned and thousands
of animals are expected to be taken
this year.
Off the west coast of Vancouver
Island alone, Indians are expected to
capture 1900 of the fur bearing ami
mails, and the total catch for the
year may reach 100000, it is estl-
mated. Last year the waters along
the Washington coast produced l.
200 skins.
The story of the Alaskan fur seal
herd is an interesting one. When the
United States acquired Alaska from
Russia, the herd was estimated at
2,5OO,O0o. Then, through pelaglc
sealing with its indiscrimlnate
slaughter and attendant waste OF LIE
as well as through lack of interna-
tional understanding on the question
of conservation, the seals all but dis
appeared, the industry fell off and
their capture became illegal.
The decline of the seal herd was
pitiable. Shot at sea under this me-
thod five or more bodies were lost
for each one recovered. There also
was great waste due to starvation
of pups on the shore. Under such con-
ditions the great herd rapidly dwin'
died until in 1911 there were but ap
proximately $4,000.
o. Of prolific tendencies, the seals
however, multiplied rapidly after
closed seasons were instituted fol
their protection.

CORRECT VERSION Of
DECISION ON STATUTE
REGULATING DRINKS

Some time ago Judge Norfeet, of
the Dade county criminal court OF |
record said, that under a decision OF
the Supreme Court it was no longer
an offense against the statutes Tor
a man to get drunk. A few days la
ter the Jacksonville and Tampa pa
pers printed what purported to be a
construction of the courts decision
by Judge J. B. Gaines, assistant at
torneY general. Neither of these
were correct. Following is the cor
rected version of Judge Gaines con-
struction of the question as related
to the Supreme Courts decision:
"The Supreme Court of Florida
has never held that the laws of the
state relating to drunkenness were
inoperative because in conflict with
the provisions of the Volstead act,
which does not attempt to create or
punish any such offense; nor has the
court ever decided that it was no Of
tense for a person to become intoX-
icated in Florida.
"An impression to the contrary
which seems to be somewhat general
APPARENTLY is the result of hastily
jumping to a conclusion as to what
the court decided in the recent case
of Albritton VS.. state without read
ing the opinion filed in the case anc
thereby ascertaining just what the
court did decide.

CHAPTER 1876, Acts of 1918, which
particular provisions the Supreme
Court held to be invalid because IN
cluded' in that Act in violation Of
constitutional requirements relating
to the enactment of laws.
"But the ground upon which the
court held that those provisions were
imperative was removed by their re

Weather the Past
Week Has Been
Varied in County

The weather the past week has
been varied in this county. Hot, sui
try weather has been the predomin-
ating condition, with cloudy after
moons. Showers have scattered about
all over the county. Some places
very heavy rains fell. Some places
destructive hail hit and completely
ruined the crops and destroyed all
growing vegetation. About quarter
Of an inch fell in Lubbock city. East
at the experimental farm 81 of an
inch was reported. further east and
over toward ldalou the fall was heav-
ier with streaks OF hail which dam
aged crops considerably in places.
This cloud swung around east OF Lub-
book, through Posey. south around in
Woodrow community, and spots of
hail was reported throughout the
South part nf the county. As a rule
the rain has been very beneficial.
while in some places as stated above
the destruction by the hail was COM
plete, and no crops were left stand
ing, which will result in heavy losses
20 some Of the farmers. None of
them that we have heard OF carried a
dollars worth Of insurance, which
falls total loss to them. Out Shall
lowater way we understand plenty
rain has fallen and crop conditions
good.

Rev. ]. B. Cole
Writes Of His Long
Automobile Tnp

Rev J. B. Cole, who has recently
returned home from visit to Fl
Paso and other points in the extreme
western portion of the state, has the
following 10 say about il in the last
issue Of the Crosbyton Review
Long auto trips have become COM
mon, we do not think Of them more
seriously than we once thought Of a
horseback ride TO our next county
site. But a drive Of 500 miles and
back is really interesting TO those
who take il, at least. On such a trip
we passed through Lubbock, Tahoka,
Lamesa, Big Spring, Stanton, Mid
land, Odessa, Barstow, Pecos, Van
Horn, Sierra Blanca and Ysletta, the
old county site of FL Paso county,
and on TO FL Paso. We touched three
or four other counties but did not
pass through their county towns
From Lamesa to FL Paso the coun-
try IS sparsely settled and little farm
ing is attempted. Pecos River Val-
ley has considerable irrigation, as has
the Rio Grande Valley. But for the
most part this vast country is stock
raising country. II has been greatly
favored this season by rains and has
more grass and shrubbery than for
many years past. The cattle, horses,
sheep and goats are in fine condition.
OF course we saw no county 80 favor
ed by good crops as is Crosby county
and no place so homelike. The roads
generally we're good with Just
enough rough places TO cause US to
enjoy the long stretches Of fine road.
We heard little talk Of hard times
OF big oil deals. The people seemed
to be getting down TO business and
old time living. We passed through
the famous Davis Mountains and
feasted our eyes once more on their
sublime grandeur, strength and
beauty. Few Of even our Texas peo-
pie know that these are by far the
highest mountains in all our South
land, some Of their peaks rising to
more tina nine thousand feet above
sea level. In their coves and can
yons there is TO be found consider
able timber as well as small shrub
berry and grasses of many varieties.
Many thousands Of cattle Craze upon
these vast hills and much game Is
still there, such as bear, deer, wild
sheep, wolves and panthers and many
smaller animals and birds. There 10

eral government 20 establish great
Southern Park in these mountains as
well rs a national pleasure resort. Ei

Texas country and Is rapidly grow

Cotton Estimates

cotton crop during July resulted in
reduction Of 5000 bales in the
forecast Of production issued today
by the Department Of Agriculture,
5000 bales being estimated. as
compared with s,l33.0OO bales a
month ago. The condition Of the crop
declined as points.
Cotton suffered more than the
usual decline during July, being
damaged particularly by the boil
weevil," said statement accompany
ing the figures
Damage from this insect through
out the belt has been heavy and the
threat Of continued and increased
damage is still serious. In many sec
tions u promises 10 take all new

This condition results largely
from the heavy July rainfall which
has also bleached out much of the
scanty supply Of fertilizer and en-
eouraged heavy growth Of grass and
weeds which Is exhausting much Of
what remains. Through most Of the

COUNTRY CLUB TOBE ORGANIZED
PRELIMINARY STEPS TAKEN WE'D.
NUMBER OF INTERESTED CITIZENS WERE PRESENT TO
DISCUSS MATTERS PERTAINING TO GROUNDS ETC.
WILL INCORPORATE WITH $25OOO CAPITAL


The progressive spirit Of Lubbock
was again displayed Wednesday at
ternoon when thirty-five Of the good
fellows of the town met at the Justice
court room and took preliminary
steps toward securing full grown
country club for Lubbock.
II is planned to organize a country
club. Incorporated under the State
laws with $500 capital stock, and
to purchase and improve a tract of
land between 100 and 200 acres, with
fishing lake, golf course, club house,
tennis courts, lawns, trees and drive
ways The membership will be linn
tied To 100 invited members. More
than so Of that number have already
been secured and II is expected that
definite action will be taken before
the end of the week to close for the
proper tract Of land.
The present golf and gun club or
ganized in the early spring, was upon
a temporary basis TO see If the golf
idea would take in this section With
membership at only $40, the expert
ment did not cost anyone enough To
hurt and has thoroughly shown the
need for some such recreational CEN
ter for this city. The lease on the
present golf course terminates in
February. IL is expected that the
country club course will be in shape
by that time.
Kid Powell is temporary president,
Curtis A. Keen, temporary secretary,
and other members prominent in the
organization of the club are Walter
Posey, c. e. Hunt, Charles Adams,
R. II. Martin, Geo. w. Briggs, and
many others.
