 Game, Birds And Fish Decreasing.
 No one will for moment deny that we have less game, fewer birds and fish today than we had five or ten years ago. The same natural causes against which game and bird life have to fight for existence are not on the increase. It is true that deforestation is gradually narrowing down to the natural habitat of our wild game, but the ever increasing area of open country with an ever incre ing acre age planted annually is favorable to our upland game birds.
 Truly man holds the balance Of power. It is .hc sportsman versus the game hog. The sportsman ms the farmer on his side and the S. rus man will co-opeIa ate fully with the farmer and the farmer will in turn cooperate with every true s. 1f;sman in seeing came birds taken in modera- tion and that ab Nl':te protectio-- IS given to our son. and insec- !eEous birds - .
 The sportsman and the farmer 'c- gether upholding the hand of those who are clothed with the responsl- bility of wild life protection ana preservation can bring the game hog around" Let every man who goes ont into the great outdoors for recrea- tion and pleasure answer this ques- ton with satisfaction to his con science: Am I a sportsman or am a game hog?"

NEARLY 3 MILLION
sheep IN WYOMING
But 800 sheep IN STATE SO YEARS
Ago. we're BROUGHT HERE
FROM new MEXICO

1t was ffty-three years ago that
the first band of sheep was brought
into Wyoming. In 1870, Durbin
Brothers, Of Cheyenne, trailed 500
head of New Mexican sheep into,
the then territory of Wyoming. One
year later they brought in an ad
d~itional 1900 head and thus 1t was
that the sheep industry was founded
in Wyoming.
Since the arrival of the first band
of sheep the industry has gradually
increased until today it is one OF the
states leading industries. Between
the years 1902 and 1911 the wool
industry was unusually strong.
Altho no figures are available
which show the wool production in
1870 and 1871 it has been esti
mated hat in 1913 the total was
not more than 1900 pounds. In
1909 the wool production had
reached 10000. 900 pounds. the high
peak in Wyoming production.
The following figures are in the
main taken from estimates of the
Department of Agriculture and give
a good idea of the size OF the wool
industry in this state during the
years between 1870 and 1922:

1t has been agreed that in the
future highway construction in
Carbon County as far as the State
is conserved will all be on a per
manent basis with federal money
being used in connection with State

The plan proposed for this county
will take several years to complete
but at the end will lean that we
will have an entire road system in
this county all as good as the Lin
coin Highway.
