Uncle Sam.

Washington.-The Red Lake Chip
pewa Indians of Minnesota have
reaped a harvest OF revenue by the
sale of FISH to the State of Minnesota,
according to information given out by
the Indian office OF the interior de-
partment. A total of over 100000 was
paid to the Indians the past two years
for fish taken from Red Lake located
on the Red Lake Chippewa Indian res
ervation through an agreement made
with the fish commissioner of that
state. During the year 1922. the In
dams took 900,952 pounds of FISH from
their lake and sold them to the state
for S4S.579 and the state paid royalties
to $3.50 on fish taken from
the lake by its own nets, giving the
of this reservation fishing
receipts totaling So, 800.

WINTER WHEAT
ESTIMATES ARE
BELOW NORMAL
But Crop will Exceed
Last Years, Is Indica-
ton; General Outlook
Is Good.

Idaho has a prospective winter
wheat crop Of 100000 bushels based
on conditions existing May lst. This
is 1900 bushels more than produced
last year and $1,000 bushels more than
the average Of the preceding FIVE years.
The acreage abandoned because of
winter killing, poor termination, etc,
amounts to 4 per cent, or 1880 acres.
so that this years crop is now grow
ing on $4,000 acres. For the past FIVE
years annual abandonment has aver
aged 5.S per cent. The present crops
May LIST condition was 90 per cent of
normal. which is 4 points higher than
reported year ago but 2 points be-
low the ten year average. In the inn
portant North Idaho section, the crop
is developing rather slowly because OF
the backward spring. Only per cent
of the acreage was abandoned and the
condition averages "a per cent South
eastern counties abandoned per cent
and eastern counties per cent OF
their planted acreage, and condition
averages 95 per cent of normal.
The winter wheat forecast for the |
u. s. is 578,287, 900 bushels, which is
1917, 900 bushels less than last years
crop and ll.l7l, 900 bushels less than
the year average crop. Acreage
abandonment was particularly heavy,
it being about IA per cent compared
with the l0-year average of 9.S.
Hay Acreage Increases
Tame hay acreage increased per
cent and wild hay remains the same
as last year, so that the 1923 crop is
growing on 10000 acres. A con-
dition OF 95 per cent of normal fore
casts a production of 3,24S,000 tons.
Last years crop totaled 100000 tons
and the average for the previous five
years is 2,7l5,000 tons Northern coun-
ties are materially increasing their al

year, even with deficient precipitation.

The Chautauqua

Casper Is one of the most responsive towns to
clean and high class entertainment in the west.
Our people are always ready to patronize such
companies ms come to us. We even grow so show
hungry ut times that we welcome some very punk
vaudeville and other forms of amusement that we
would pass up coldly could we but have tho enter
tainment we would prefer.
1t is no wonder, then, that we prick up our ears
WHEN the annual Chautauqua is announced and
hunt up tho program and arrange to send the fam
lily in relays, the members choosing the afternoons
and evenings when the program presents the most
particular appeal. to the taste of tho individual
member.
This year there is an unusually strong and var
led program. The most talented artists in America
take part at the several sessions. All that is best
in instrumental and vocal music, including grand
opera. dramatics, oratory, wit and humor, with a
wealth of special features OF entertainment new TO
Chautaugua audiences.
The Chautauqua is one Of the greatest institu-
tions in American life today. 1t is the best thing
we get here or. elsewhere. No other institution In
the land combines the quality of instruction and
enterta Jnment furnished by the Chautauqua at
such modest cost.
Casper people owe a larger debt of gratitude to
the gentlemen who annually make possible the ap-
pearance of the solo and group performers who pro
vide the high class features of a Chautauqua
week.

today than he did prior to the World War, because
Europe is not yet back to its normal agricultural
production The nearer it approaches the produc-
ton of crops and livestock of Pre- war days, the
less the American farmer will sell to Europe.
Those who hold out to him the hope of increased
markets in the event Europe is put on its feet are
doing the worst possible injury. His trouble today
is over-production, and to ask him to stimulate
production In the expectation of getting a market,
which he never will have, is to add to his misfor-
tunes.
The truth is, the American GARNER must face the
fact that he will sell less and less to Europe from
now on. His problem is either to increase his do.
nestle market or decrease his own production.
The lie that farm prices 60 up or down with
farm exports is even moro inexcusable than its
running mate. There never has been any ground
for such a statement. The records of farm prices
and farm exports for over a generation show that
there is not a ~scintilla Of truth in this allegation.
To the contrary, the years Of greatest exports
articles exported. No better Illustration can be
offered of that fact than the relation between cot.
ton exports and prices. For a period Of years prior
to the World war, cotton exports ran from $500, 900
to 100000 bales q year, and the prevailing price
was IL to IL cents a pound. Today, cotton is selling
at % cents q pound, and our exports are only half
the pre-war record. Two years ago this month, cot
ton was selling at12 to Is cents, while exports were
over a million more bales than they are today.
We are exporting more pork products today than
a year ago or than the average for any of the past
three years, while hogs are selling at less than
they did a year ago or the average for the last
three years.
The farmer well knows that in 1921 he received
less for practically every variety Of his products
than any previous period in a number OF years,
yet the exports of farm products in that year were
the greatest of any year in American history.
These are the facts and any interest that sup.
presses them or attempts to give them a different
meaning does so for the purpose OF deception
The purpose of such deception is obvious. It sim.
ply means that the political press and politicians
back Of the league movement are moro interested

Highjacking Building Material

You would scarcely believe 1t, yet smy contractor,
builder, plumber or other person Concerned In tao
construction business in Casper viii vouch for tho
fact. There is so much plain stealing Of material
and supplies used in building that the belief Is
warranted that an organized gang exists. Those
engaged in building have grown used to losses suf-
fered in this manner, and have learned to station
watchmen at buildings In tho course Of erection.
It is not one particular thing that In wrongfully
taken, it is everything, Lumber, shingles, plumb
ing, hardware, loose or nailed down, or placed in
position, it makes no difference. If material can
be secured and loaded upon trucks or other vehicles
it goes during the dead hours of night and work
men must be supplied the next morning before they
can proceed with the job.
Think of 1t, sixtyfive bundles Of lath was one
item purloined night befor last on one Job In a
quiet and respectable part of the city. 1t is only
a fair sample of what thieves Will do.
Building material in Casper is high-pricsd and
valuable and the hardships worked upon builders
and contractors is carrying the joke a Little too
far.
Those who employ guards at night have little
complaint, but those who leave work unprotected
find plenty of occasion for peevishness at losses
sustained.
