eighties there was only pitlfully
small number Of survivors, and these
had no legal protection.
However about this time one of the
men who had been responsible for the
defamation Of the buffalo had change
Of heart. He was Charles j. Jones,
native ut Illinois ard a settler in Kan
/ sns, who had besh employed as a
hunter by the Union Pacific railroad
to provide meat tor its laborers.
sometimes I became sickened at the
slaughter of the defenseless brutes and
felt like throwing down my rifle and
never shooting another one of them,"
said Jones. In 1856 1 saw that the
bison was doomed and I resolved to
atone for my cusSedness by saving as
many as I could"
So he assembled a party of cowboys
and rode down into the Texas Pan
handle to capture buffalo calves
They roped II OF the little fellows, but
could save only four of them. The
remainder literally event mad" in cap
tivlty and died quickly. The next year
Jones went to the Panhandle again,
captured TO calves and saved eight.
Two later trips netted him 81 calves,
and with these as a nucleus he eventu-
ally built up a herd of several hun
dred buffalo on his ranch near Garden |
City, Kan,
BY this time the American public
had realized the mistake that had been
made, and became aroused to the ne
cessity for action to correct it. But
even with public sentiment back of the
effort to save the buffalo, it is doubt
full if it could have succeeded had it
not been for Buffalo" Jones, as he be-
came universally known. His long
work Of "atonement" had given him a
herd Of bison from which he supplied
animals to bring new strains of blood
into the discriminating herds in parks.

in Budget and Finances
are in Good Shape

Az the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club Gordon C. Moores, pres
dent, and other officers recently
elected will be installed and the ques-
tion of the clubs activities for the
coming year discussed.
Secretary Crawford's annual report
which will be read to the club will
show that during the year the club
has received $3,392.58 and has ex-
uended $2,801.37 and closes the year
with a cash balance of 1924 73. This
Is for the club account proper. The
hand account shows collections of $263
and disbursements of S166 leaving
a balance of $97.
The club expenditures were $780,
So less than the budget as made up at
the beginning of the year. With the
exception of the Transportation and
Industrial department bureau all of
the bureaus kept within their esti-
mates and finish the year with credit
balances.
The average monthly income of the
club has been $257 and the average
monthly expenditures $205, leaving
q monthly balance of $50.
Mr.. Crawford concludes his report
with a review of the clubs activities
during the year. While no big pro-
ject has been taken up and carried
thru the organization has functioned
along varied lines and thru it Ken
newick has maintained it's position
in the general development program
Of the state and the Northwest.

c. Smith Motor company were an
tered by burglars Saturday night.

work, SD all of which was taken fron,
the Commercial Cafe. There was no
money left in the other places and
nothing of value has been missed
at any one of them.
M. N. Hudnall, manager of the
Tum-A-Lum says these burglars
were not so considerate as those who
entered the offices several weeks ago
The company safe is never locked
and is adorned with a placard which
requests burglars to put the books
and other papers back in the safe
and shut the door. The former bur-
glars complied with this request but
this time the safe papers were left
scattered on the floor.

The Times says:
Speculation concerning possible ad-
.dition candidates for the Republican
and Democratic nominations for gov
ernor, which continued to be the fav-
orite pastime yesterday in circles
whose members consider politics as
their avocation at least, brought out
the name of Mark M. Moulton, Ken
newick lawyer and Benton County
House member in the last two Legis-
latures, as G. o. p. prospect.
Mr.. Moulton has a wide acquaint-
ance east of the mountains, princi-
pally due ito legal work in connec-
tion with irrigation projects. As a
member of the House committee on
reclamation and irrigation he helped
to draft the irrigation code. At the

ber of the roads and bridges COM
