DESTROYING OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES
Editorial from Mountain States Ban kerr

(Edtorial. from Mountain States Ban kerr
The annual warfare between man and creatures of the wild,
the hunting season. is telling. 1t is a most unequal struggle,
with man, highest type of thinking animal, armed with a high
powered rife capable of shooting three miles and firing six
shots in three seconds, against wild creatures, guided by the
instinct to preserve life, and armed only with feetness of foot.
Slowly but inexoably, the wild animals of this country are
being exterminated, as surely as the buffalo and as thoroughly
Read that and consider what it means. BE warned against
this annual slaughter.
The game population of this country is becoming startlingly
less each year. Ease of access to hunting fields by automobile,
improvements in firearms, the increasing number of those who
hunt, are the factors which are contributing to the demolition
of Americas wild animals.
a few thousand wild animals now. where ono we're millions.
There are miles of this country barren to all wild life now, which
once were fascinated by the presence OF dainty-footed deer
majestic elk, and other deighting wild things.
Here are the figures:
OF buffalo there are 3,4oo; elk $4,000; antelope $500; noun
tain goats. 5000; moose. 1000; mountain sheep. 10000; total
$4,000.
Fifty years ago the numbers were in the millions; fifty
years from now it will be only in the hundreds; even in tens
What is the reason for the slaughter Were these animals
killed for food7 Not directly. There is no need to own a me
to exist this day Were they killed for sport' That is the
answer usually made.
Men still call IL sport to kill these harmless creatures, which
contribute SO much to the interest of the country. Sport II
the name be used correctly, demands equality. an equal chance
on either side. Hunting as it is praetieed today does not PROVIDE
that. The odds are too much with the man.
II is never sport to destroy life, say what you may.
Fifty years from now, If this sorry little band is not wiped
clearly of the earth. men will not hunt. They VIII become
friends to things wild, protectors instead OF relentless annihia-
tors II may be too late then. 1t is almost too late now.
Every animal that is killed can never be replaced. When
It IL shipped from its native hills there is removed an asset; for
what is SO pleasing as to come suddenly upon wild game in the
mountainsa There is a thrill to this not supplied by any other
experience out of doors.
We have game laws. Observed and lived up to they would
help a great deal. But they are abused, shameiessly they are
aoused-and everyone knows that they are.
Game wardens are often the biggest game hogs Farmers
ranehers, city men, boys. kill out of season, and out OF reason

wild things.
Creatures of the open wilds need and deserve our protection

Citizens Declare They Can't Help

"If | were the sheriff or the pros

Hot Springs" said Governor Ross at
a banquet in Thermopolis given in
his honor last week, "and couldn't en-
force prohibition my better than it
is being enforced here, | would re-

After announcing that he had been
a prohibitionist for many years and
that he expected to remain prohibit
ZIONIST for the rest Of his life, Gov
rno Ross referred to an appeal that
had been made to him by Thermopolis
Chamber of Commerce to defray a
part of the expense in publishing ad-
vertising matter for the Thermopolis
mineral hot springs, said to be the
largest in the world.
Governor Ross indicated that the
people of Thermopolis and Hot
Springs county must give better CO.
operation to the enforcement of the
Volstead amendment IL they expect to
get appropriations for the advance
ment of the state property here.
Governor Ross said:

l.. l.. Newton, who appears to be a
walking encyclopedia of m~isinforma-

He isn't yet, but he may become one

The excellent poem entitled "The
Ghost Herds" published in this issue
of the Enterprise, was written by our
own "Smithy" IL. B. Smith) while
in a New York hospital waiting for
his leg to knit. 1t will be remembered
he broke his leg while riding a bronc
at Valley. We do not set ourself up
as a judge of poetry, but we think
this mighty good verse.
What with our unpopularity in Park
county and Mr.. Goppert's popularity
in Washable county-it will be re-
called that the prosecuting attorney
comes from Worland-there seems to
be no place left for the defendant to
get an unprecedented jury in the Gel
ebrated case of Cop VS.. Lockhart ex-
cept in Hot Springs or Big Horn coun-
ties.
t.. Speaking of %juries, we are remind
ed of the term of court when l.. l..
Newton was called for jury duty and
questioned as to his qualifications to
hear evidence in liquor violation cases.
We shared the establishment of those
present when he sat up and told the
court, attorneys and spectators that
he had no prejudice against cases of
this nature. Not only was he unable
to conceal his eagerness to serve as
juryman but there vas not n who
heard him make this remarkable dec
laration who did not know that prohi-
bition is one of his hobbies "a mania,
an obsession, and some had knowledge
of the lengths to which he had gone
in the way of letters and personal
efforts to deprive persons whom he
suspected of violating the liquor laws
of their positions, and otherwise pun
ishing them.
Small wonder that Len Leander
only lasted as long as a possible jury
mar as it could take him to get back
to his seat.
Perhaps we should not put ideas
in Mr.. Goppert's head, which already
contains so many, but this is so rare

WARRANTS
SERVED ON HAYNER
and BUCKINGHAM

Earl Hayner and Carl Buckingham
were served with federal warrants on
Tuesday morning charging them with
violation of the liquor laws. They are
called to appear in Cheyenne on De-
cember 10th, but request that their
trial be deferred until after their trial
here upon the county charge, has been
made of the u. S. District Attorney
by the defendants attorney, Joseph
E. McElvain.
In the event that the request be
denied, a preliminary hearing before
the commissioner may be asked.
Hayner and Buckingham were
placed under $500 bonds which were
promptly furnished.
The warrants were served by De-
putty U. s. Marshal w. Ridgeway, of

purpose.

PAT KELLY NEARL Y
SCALPED IN SMASH
WITH AUTO TRUCK

Pat Kelly narrowly escaped what
might have been serious injury on
Monday afternoon, when his truck
crashed into one of the government
road trucks on the North Fork road
near the Early ranch.
Kelly, returning to his ranch from
Cody, was overtaken by a snow storm
which so obscured his vision that he
did not see the road truck, and crash
ing into it, he was thrown to the road,
landing on his head and cutting a six
inch cash in his scalp, spraining his
wrist and numerous other bruises on
the face and body.
He was brought to Cody where DR..
Trueblood dressed the wounds. The
cut in the scalp was so severe that al
most the entire scalp could be raised
from the skull. After the wounds
were cared for Kelly left for his ranch
on the Northfork.
The government truck is minus a
front wheel and Kelly's White is badly
damaged as a result of the collision.

This year, too, the Stampede COM
mittee want it to be a real Stampede
ball with western folk in western
clothes, bright shirts, gay handker-
chiefs, high-heeled boots men and
women, boys and girls.
Last year we forgot to say any
thing about this, and first thing we
knew there was Joe Jones dressed in
his best blacks and his hair slicked
back, looking so much like a Metho-
dist preacher that we were not sure
but what it was until somebody step
ped on his foot. And Fred Morris
was done up in dinner clothes as if
he were ready for a banquet at the
Bellevue Stratford, and so forth and
so on; in fact we did not know there
were so many tore clothes and even
ing gowns in the country until the
last Stampede Ball. and we hope it
won't happen again.

play a stack at "Jakie" when he comes
out in his red shirt and boots with
hearts and darts appliqued on the

chance on being shared by appearing

friends of the Stampede in all the

SMOKEY" GROVES, MODEL FOR
BUFFALO BILL STATUE, LOOKS
REAL WAR HORSE ON SCREEN
Mrs. Whitny has Motion Pictures Made of T. E.
Horse Base for Statue of Heroic Size
on Way to Cody

Smokey" Grove, of Cody, is a great
social success and the life of the party
whenever he appears, says Mrs. Mary
Jester Allen in n letter to Margaret
Hayden, writing of the TIE horse now
in New York City, which is being used
as a model by Mrs. Whitney for her
statue of Buffalo Bill.
Mrs. Whitney had a motion picture
taken of him in Central park by the
best motion picture man in town, also
still pictures by other photographers
in every possible pose so that when
she is in doubt as to n position or
muscle, she has them run off. Mrs.
Allen states that they are remarkable
pictures and Smokey" is the embodi-
ment of grace and power and alto
gether a great credit to his owner and
the ranch where he was sired.
He holds forth in n small paved
court yard in MacDougall alley where
Mrs. Whitney's new big studio is To-
Gated and where the immense clay
model of the statue is being made.
The statue although mammoth as TO
size is very vivid, vital and real, Mrs.
Allen states. and is enthusiastically
approved by all who have seer il, in
GLIDING General Eaton. who knew
Col. Cody very well.
The model for the base Is said to
be on It's way TO Cody.
Cody folk are in full accord with
the wishes of those interested in the
statue in the East in desiring that the
statue of heroic size shall have plenty
Of space and, II the land can be oh
tained, be set far enough away from
the town TO give the impression Of the
breadth and vastness associated with
the West.

THOUGHT HE WAS SAM
SON; HELD UP OIL RIG

Ed johnson, driller for the Thomp-
son-Elk Basin Oil company, was
brought to Cody last week and placed
in Jail until he could regain his mental
poise .
Johnson met up with too much
moon and his mental condition was
such that he was laboring under the
impression that he had to hold up an
oil rig.
For two days and nights he never
slept n wink and he was working all
the time. He thought that the rig
was about TO fall down. and he would
brace himself, grasp the bars Of the
cell and exclaim, 81 can't hold her,
she's going TO fall" So real was his
hallucination that he strained and
tugged until beads of pe~rsperntion
stood out out on his face in big drops.
After several days OF rest and alb
stainence Johnson became lucid and
left on Monday for Elk Basin ready
TO sign the pledge.

persons that claim this precaution
against the disease is not justified, OBJ
servers look for a bitter opposition to
the order. An injunction against the
enforcement will be sought, it is fore
east.
Anderson issued his decree as the
executive officer of the state board of
health. 1t is said that he has the en-
dorsement-of the state administration,
as well as of the physicians through
) out Wyoming. He says he does not
intend to act in the capacity of a po-
lice officer, but that the United States
Supreme Court, in a decision written
by Justice Brandeis and handed down
November 10, 1929, held that the state
could vaccinate at any time, whether
smallpox were present or not, that 1t
is within the police power of the state
to provide compulsory vaccination,
and that this is consistent with the
federal Constitution. This decision,
says Anderson, must stand in Wyom-
ing.
Every city and county superintend-
emit in the state was notified Friday
that there must be no further delay
in the enforcement.
At a meeting Wednesday evening
the Laramie County Medical Society
by unanimous vote passed a resolution
giving its approval to the order.

law and the poor despise it.
The prohibition law, after four
years trial has become so popular
that the treasury department is about
to request congress for an appropria-
ton of s2s,5OO,OOO to purchase a fleet
