DUCK SEASON OPENS
LOTS OF MkLLAR1S

Duck hunters were out in force on
Sunday morning to take advantage
of the opening of the season, and the
ducks on Beck Lake, Wiley lake and
Broker lake were given a warm re-
ception, even if there was a cold rain
falling when daylight broke.
Quite a number of the more en-
thusiastic of the local sportsmen es-
tabllshed camps at points of vantage
the night before, so as to be in on
the ground floor.
Practically all of those who went
out had excellent luck, and several Sc
cured the limit. Hunters report an
unusually large number of mallards
which is rather unusual at the open
ing of the season.
Only n slight accident occurred
to mar the enjoyment of the hunters.
Otto Koenig took a shot at a duck
he had wounded and had fallen upon
the water, and some of the shots,
ricocheting from the water struck
Bobby Koenig and Mike Clarke.
They were about 40 yards away at
the time the shot was fired, and the
force of the small leaden pellets was
practically spent when they struck.
Two or three of the shot struck
Bobby Koenig, one behind the left
ear, but it barely drew blood, while
Mike also was struck by several of
the leaden pellets, one of them glanc-
ing off his head, but doing no particul
ar harm.
Both of the hunters were undis-
mayed by the accident and returned
to continue their sport.

LOWELL FARMERS BORROW EACH
OTHERS HENS TO EAT HOPPERS

Farming out chickens has become
quite an industry in the Lowell coun-
try during the past two years, says
the Chronicle.
In fact so much a part of the
general scheme of farming that the
farmers who do not have sufficient
flocks of their own, look well to this
part of their farm program early in
the year.
1t is a rather peculiar business at
that. The stock is loaned out to a
farmer who is troubled with grass
hoppers and then after they have done
an exceptionally good job of clearing
his farm of hoppers, it is returned to
the owner.
Looks on the face of it as though
the owner of the fowls might be get
ting all the best of it, but let us stop
and figure for a minute and see about
that. For the past few years the
grasshoppers have been more than a
real pest in the Lowell country. So
much so in fact that they have taken

established an information bureau at
the junction point in the highway be-
tween Shoshoni and Bonneville, where
the road from Casper leads in. The
bureau IA in charge of a man who
was paid for directing as much travel
into the southern entrance as possible.
according to the statement of the
Chamber of Commerce of Thermopol-
is and other towns in the Basin coun-
try.
This information bureau was doing
business only a few days until the
Chambers of Commerce of Cody,
Greybull, Basin, Worland and Their
mopolis combined their forces and
established another bureau of the
same kind just across the road from
the Lander-Riverton outfit, the mar
in charge of the latter established
tourists directing institution singing
the praises of the eastern entrance to
Yellowstone park.
For a while a merry war threat
ened and some whopping stories were
b~roadcasted regarding the goodness
and badness of the roads to both
these entrances to Yellowstone park.
Just when it appeared that a con-
flict in earnest could not be avoided,
nature took a hand, the floods broke
loose, the country in the vicinity of
the information bureaus was devast-
ed for miles and highways in every
direction were put out of business.
many tourists headed for Yellowstone
park, hearing exaggerated stories of
the flood, beat it" back to their
homes or changed the direction of
their tour, leaving the information
bureaus fighting for a tourist trade
that had fallen away to a skeleton of
its former self.
Now the people living along the
fDads leading to both these entrances
Yellowstone park claim that their
urist business has been affected be-
cause of the condition of the high
avs being misrepresented and they
are seriously considering furthering
a law that will fine a man or put him
in Jail for disappearing the condi-
ton of highways.
According to those who have had
experience with tourists road condi-
lions are much a matter of mind. Of
what one travelled will refer to as a
"devir' of a road, another will smile
nd say at isn't so bad"-not half as
bad as some other road he has been
over Even State road reports, where
efforts at impartialty are made, are
not always accurate because fire.
quently those report the condition of
highways to State bureaus are not ad-
verse to making long guesses or TAX

BANKERS
ARE OPTIMISTIC
PEOPLE OF STATE HAVE PLEN-
TY PLUCK, SAYS TRAINED
OBSERVER AFTER TOUR

Conditions in Wyoming are good.
Frightened by higher prices on sheep
and wool, Wyoming faces the future
with cheerful hope.
This is the impression of Wyoming
that A. A. Keith of Denver, dealer in
bank equipment and safes, got when
he was up there during August on a
three weeks combined business and
pleasure trip says the Mountain
States Banker. He went by motor
and travelled a good portion of the
state.
The first thing about Wyoming, he
says, that impressed him is the atti-
tude of the people. They have gone
through hard times, and they admit it
but they do not talk of it any more
than they can help. Their hopeis in
the future and they are working to-
ward the ~betterday.
"Just to explain this Wyoming atti-
tude,v said Mr.. Keith, 81 will tell you
of the ~Thcrmopolis flood which took
place while / was there.
"For four days Thermopolis was iso
lated from the outside world. The rail-
road was washed out for fifteen to
thirty miles; the auto roads were
swept away; there was no electricity
or water in the town; even the tele-
phone was gone.
"The business men were pretty blue
They lamented the situation. They
could never see how business would
eve recover from the flood. IL seem

flood is not BID after all. We needed
moisture: 1t will make everything
grow better. The grass on the prair-
les will be thicker, and the cattle and
sheep will be fatter.'
$50 Thermopolis is going ahead.
That attitude is typical of the state.
They are an undaunted people,"
Mr.. Keith said that the Wyoming
bankers are confident of the future
greatness of their state. The prices
on sheep and wool are higher than
they have been land this means thou
sands Of dollars to the state. Cattle
prices are still below where they
ought to be, but the opinion of the
large growers is that they will come
up.
Because the banks have this atti-
tude, they are preparing to meet the
growth of the state by installing new
equipment and by building new build
ings.

Fernando Says Mrs Egon

Mrs. Alice Egon writes to the En-
terprise from San Fernando, Califor-
mia that she is now comfortably To-
Gated and that her health seems i'm
proved.
California is a wonderful place,
says Mrs. Egon. "Since l have been
here we have had an earthquake, a
total eclipse of the sun, and seven of
Uncle Sans finest warships were pill
ed up on the rocks near Santa Bar
bara. Every day some one is killed
by al auto, and some days four or
five. The women here all wear
dresses and l have not seen a woman
wearing trousers since / came to
this town."
Mrs. Eagon is now located at 234
McNiel st. San Fernando, California.

oned at the present price would buy
most al lof the chickens in Big Horn
county. If the farmer undertakes to
fight this pest with poison he is out
a good deal of time and labor, and
perhaps with the rush of affairs, he
forgets and leaves a small bunch of
it standing about somewhere and the
horses or cows gets into it and then
he is out a good horse or COW also.
If he takes a bunch of EARNED
out" chicken all he has to do is make
a small portable house for them,
hitch his team on the same and move
it from m place to another in his
fields, and the chickens do the rest,
and do a good job of it at that. Then
when the days work is done, he must
go out and close them up for the night
Now of course the owner of the
flocks escapes the cost of feeding his
birds and profits by the gain that is
made during the season while they
are feasting on grasshoppers and
cleaning up a field that had been
eaten down the year before.
