Both Green and Ketchum were SC

Lack of an allotment for the pay

the services of a guide and caretaker

such guide and caretaker, though by

has acquiesced In the carrying on of
this service as a private undertaking.

ing popularity of the caves as a
scenic resort Mr.. Beam says Mr..
Rhodes will be amply compensated
for his services.
Mr.. Beam says further in the let

present one the department will have
expended $1,000 in improving the
road from the Grand Central highway

has constructed the Baker creek cut

This is a paragraph clipped from
the monthly letter of instructions
sent out by Biological Assistant f.
X. Sans to Nevada government trap
pers. 1t declares that from the mod
crate showing a year ago of sixteen
animals in a month per man the
service has dropped to ten per man,
and says that several of the trappers
have fallen down badly. A private
letter received in Ely two years ago
from Secretary Wallace says his trap
pers are not sent where coyotes
are plentiful, but are kept where
they are scarce TO trap the old and
willy ones which private trappers will
not bother with. Yet Mr.. Sans con-
tradicts this by urging his men to
gather their traps quickly and move
away from where the animals are
scarce to the distant places where
they are more plentiful, in order to
counteract criticism, and do their
level best, wen TO the distressing ex-
tent of going away from where fish
ing is good.
Mr.. Sans does not threaten to fire
anybody but says that trapper3 who
cannot take more than three or four
animals per month must show by
their reports that they are on the go
and are covering lots of country if
they want to continue with the work.
II these men were fred ii would Sc
riously threaten the positions of Mr..
Sans and his Office and field assist
ants, who are not trappers but are
sort of supervisors for trappers.
Where a trapper catches but three
coyotes a month and his salary is
$50 the cost of each animal, without
taking account OF, the salaries of Mr..
Sans and his various office and leld
assistants, is $50. II he can urge
these men to land six a month the
cost will be cut down to Sic each.
Elsewhere in his report he shows
that his top mar trapped twenty-one
coyotes. and assuming that this man
receives the maximum salary of s125
a month, the cost of these, without
counting superyisorial expense, was
Sc each. The second man trapped
twenty, and If he is a SIPS man they
cost 1928 each. II the salaries of
the t~hirty-one men employed may be
put down at s3,10e for the month
the cost of the 240 coyotes and fifty
one bobcats trapped was S1O.65
each, without counting su%peryisorial
cost.
Half E of that is charged to the
state. so that when a taxpayer pays
his taxes he Is contributing toward
a sum of s5.37 for each animal
trapped in Nevada. There are some
variations to that. half of the first
half being charged to the county
where such animals are trapped, but
when the whole tune is played 1t is
all paid for by the taxpayers of Ne
vada.
The former system of paying
bounties has been condemned and
put out of business in Nevada by the
government life pensioners supervis-
ing this trapping. The highest
bounty ever paid in Nevada was 81
in 1912. Utah's rate is 81, which is
s1.37 less than what the Nevada
taxpayers are paying directly through
the state rabies commission. On top
of this the same taxpayers through
the federal government arc paying
another s5.3S, or a total of S10.65
for a service that in Utah costs but

MY brother, Mike, Is five years
older than /. He is thirty-four now
IT noticed the record book had my
age wrong long time ago, but l

Now that I'm fighting for the title
want my age correct
1T doesn't make any difference.
When | get in the ring IL will be Tom
Gibbons against Jack Dempsey.
But somehow Id like my friends
to know that l am only twenty nine
"a difference Of one year between
the champion and myself.
The way the records got my age
wrong was probably due to the fact
that there was another brother born
between Mike and /. My parents
named him Tom. He was to carry
my fathers name. He died in in

and was christened the same name
