PREDATORY BOUNTY FUND Elk
HAUSTED.

That all Of the 1922 claims for
bounty on coyotes, bobcats, cougar
and other predatory animals win not
be paid short of two years hence is
the information contained in letter
to Sheriff Joel Wilson from the state
department of agriculture at Boise.
Sheriff Wilson, on behalf of Charles
Wright of Teakean, who is in poor
health and unable to work much, and
who has several claims against the
predatory animal fund for bounties,
wrote to the department in an effort
to secure the payment of Wright 3
claims. He received the following re-
ply:
Answering yours of the 10Th we
have to advise that the last bounty
claims to be paid are those dated Feb
ruary %, 1929 All claims filed after
that date win be paid in their order
as soon as money is available in the
predatory animal fund. Many of the
claims now on file will not receive at
ention until after the next session of
The legislature. 1t is true great
many of them will be taken care of
by tax installments that will arrive in
the meantime, but it is our opinion
that all 1922 claims will not be paid
short of two years hence.-Tribune,

PROCEED WITH FAIR.
Lewdston-ciarkston Fair Buildings
Burned Sunday, But Big Fall
Event VIII Take Place
Anyway.

The fire loss sustained Sunday by
the Lewiston Charleston fair will in no
wise embarass or curtail the scope Of
this years exposition according to q
statement issued by Bert +. Savage,
secretary of the organization.
The fire occurred Sunday afternoon
during the period of a base ball game
and resulted in the loss of the grand
stand, three of the large exposition
buildings, the keepers house, the sec
retary's office and the other small
structures. The loss to the association
is approximately $4,000 and is about
one-half covered by insurance.
The grounds upon which the fair is
held are owned by the city and are
under option to the Clearwater Tim
Der Company for milling purposes.
For this reason the new construction
will be only of a temporary character
Covered bleachers will replace the
grandstand and comfortable tents will
be used to house the livestock used
in connection with the programs be
fore the grandstand. All livestock
exhibits, the county exhibits, boys and
girls clubs, the women's department,
the school exhibit and the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture win be
housed in the buildings saved from
the fire.
Lewiston business interests have
rallied to the support of the fair or
ganization and have given assurances
that funds will be available to carry
forward the fair plans ON the original
enlarged scope. Everything will be
in readiness for the opening on Sept.
IL, according to the announcement of
Secretary Savage.

Save the Children.

Tho American Relief Administra-
ton, in an appeal signed by its chair
man, Herbert Hoover, asks financial
support for the American Child Health
Association, which is q reorganization
of the American Child Hygiene Asso-
citation and the Child Health Organiza-
ton of America consolidated with the
Relief Administration. The important
personnel Of the latter organization,
which during the last four years has
found the means of maintaining life in
upward of 10000 900 children in Eu-
rope, thereby acquiring invaluable ex-
perience in the problems of child
health, now proposes to devote that
experience for the benefit Of American
childhood. 1t would be difficult to
imagine an undertaking more promis-
ing of beneficent results.
How important is the work to be un-
6ertaken is attested by the fact that
whereas physicians report that over
so per cent Of all children in America
are born normal, less than 20 per cent
reach maturity in normal physical
health. Tho necessity Of the work is
nationwide, but it is more particularly
pressing in backward sections and in
the industrial centerS of the country.
THE matter is one of national i'm
portance and of urgent character"
says Mr.. Hoover. Much constructive
work has been done by public agencies
and by voluntary agencies in endeavor-
ing to develop the proper care Of nor
NAL children as distinguished from
those who have fallen by tho wayside
and require medical treatment, but
the field in many sections Of our
country is as yet untouched"
Tho generosity with which the
American people responded to appeals
TO save the children in war-torn and
famine-stricken Europe amazed the
world and won its admiration, and Of
the many millions of dollars which
they gave it never has been charged
that dollar was spent unWiSely or
dishonesty. Now appeal is made by
the same agency for contributions to
do q vitally needed work for Ameri-
can children, and confidence is in
spired by assurance that the money
will be expended under the same ef-
ticient auspices. The American peo-
pie could make no better investment
than to turn over to Mr.. Hoover and
those associated with him in this great
undertaking all the funds required to
carry out their comprehensive plans.

Colorado's Laureate.

The woman poet laureate or the
poetess laureate Of Colorado comes in
for q measure Of good-humored rail-
lery in the eastern press. Little Is
known OF her poetry in the east, and
perhaps some eastern writer's are so
deeply or narrowly eastern that they
find it hard to believe that any good
poetry can come out Of the west, or
that any poetry can be good Of
which they have not heard. Then the
whole idea Of a poet laureate-an Of

persons on the funny bone. Poets are
thought Of "a inspirational creatures

who should hold themselves above the
acceptance of questionable favorS from
mere kings or politicians.
The laureate of Colorado speaks of
her appointment with good sense. and
makes such an Office as official poet
appear as justifable as many other
public offices. She says that the de-
tails of the office remain to be worked
out. Visiting the home of the Denver

Strangler Trees.

Very often one species of things in
nature seeks to GUST another. This
rivalry between species-this struggle
for supremacy--is observed in trees
and smaller plants. One group seeks
to get most food from the earth and
to climb SO that it gets the lions
share, or the big trees share, of sun
shine and air even though it deprive
another group Of these life essentials.
There are groups which will not live
on terms of amity and good will with
each other. They think, if they think
at all, that the struggle for existence
is too hard for friendship. 1t seems
TO be one of the laws Of nature. but it
seems to many men to be a law Of Ill
nature. Yet the fact stands.
On the western slope Of the hill on
which the ruinous bitches, ramparts,
traverses and embrasures Of Fort de
Russy lie in Rock Creek Park. a grove
Of cedars sprang up from the cleared

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

CoME flew east, some few west,

~ nest. They have gone. our SEN
ators and representatives. and
IN the land at large the cry Of
'junket" has been raised. Every time
congressional party goes away on
business. official or otherwise. the
trip Immediately becomes q junket.
Junket, according to the best die
tionaries. literally means "a feast of
merrymaking. Il convivial enter
tainment, picnic" And 4 junketeer,
according 70 the dictionaries, is, of
course, one who junkets. These are
harsh words, indeed, loosely to apply
70 the hardworking representatives and
senators. They are so loosely applied
as rule as to lead the public I" the
conclusion that congressional trips
always are q waste Of the public
moneys. Such a conclusion. however,
is far from the truth.
1t is a pity that more and better
means are not provided Congress to
permit its members to see the country
for which they make the laws and
carve out the policies OF federal con-
troll. There are entirely too many men
In Congress who have not been west
OF the Mississippi river. What do they
know Of the real needs of the great
and growing western empire? west
ern men are coming more and more
TO the front In Congress for the sim
pie reason that In order to reach
Washington they have 10 travel all
the way across the country. Travel
ma keith the wise legislator. He sees
things az he goes and he meets peo-
pie who have something to say. East
ern senators and representatives,
openly boast at times that they have
never been west. yet it is In the west
that tho problems of government lie
today. It Is not so long ago that "a
leader of the Senate admitted he had
never been west OF Chicago and had
only been TO Chica 90 once. Yet this
senator was credited at times with
being the general manager of the
United States.
Congress is not, or at least ought
not to be, "a place for the narrow
minded or the narrow-visioned man.
There Is too much of d tendency
among the members to- see only the
problems of their own states their
own districts their own communl-
ties. Congress needs to travel, and
there is no better Investment of our
hard paid taN"S than to give sen-

Washington has had a great lnys-
terry on its hands which now at last
has been happily solved. Some little
time ago Representative Frank Mon
dell, republican leader Of the House,
received letter from Col. Guy u.
Gcff, assistant attorney general.
which read as follows:
would you be so good as to send
me an autographed copy of your pho
tograph" My admiration Of your
courage and purpose and my per-
sonal regard for you will make this
one of my most cherished possess
sions. ! shall add it with a feeling
OF genuine pleasure TO the collection
Of great men / have known"
Naturally the floor leader of the
dominant party felt Somewhat fiat
tered by these eloquent words and
at great expense sent a splendid pic
ture to Col. Goff. Imagine his sur
prise few days later. however. to
find that Representatives Tom. Dick
and Harry were displaying Identical
letters and holding their chests some
