wyoming's Concealed Domes

In the early days a structure wa
only considered when it stuck up like
the Washington Monument, as do the
Salt Creek anticline, Rock Creek,
Elk Basin and a few more. Then
the more concealed domes like Big
Muddy, Lance Creek. Lost Soldier,
were worked out through deep re-
search and the expenditure of large
sums of money. The geological story
of Wyoming took a new turn. Today
the apparent structures have in a
large measure been structures and
tested, and the search is on for all
time for those which do not stand up
like sentinels reckoning to the wild
cater to come up and drill. There
are many of the concealed structures
in the vicinity of Cody and through
out the Big Horn Basin that have
been p~rospected.

STATE NOT KILLING
BEARS SAYS SMITH

There appears to be a misunder-
standing as to the policy relative to
controlling bears in Wyoming, accord
ing to a statement issued Saturday
at the office of Frank S. Smith, state
game and fish commissioner. ain or
der to clear up the situation to the
satisfaction of all concerned" says
the statement, the following explain
alton has been prepared by Charles
]. Bayer, leader of the predatory ami
NAL control activities of the game
and fish department.
"The bears are designated by the
State of Wyoming as a game animal
and will be regarded as such until
authentic information, corroborated
by affidavits from owners of live
stock indicates that bears are destruc-
tive to livestock. After this infor-
nation has been furnished, authority
is secured from the state game and
fish commission before action is tax
en- to kill any predatory bears.
"Some residents of the state are
laboring under the impression that
our hunters are stringing poison bait
promiscuously over the game fields
during the entire year and destroying
bears and other small fur bearing an
imals such as martin and fox. Poison
operations in the game fields are only
corl,-faI I,~~ fLo rri,tot. rpnnthS
after livestock and game have drifted
from the mountains to the valley and
open territory bordering along the
lower edges of the timbered land and
beyond where such animals as fox or
martins range. As wolves and coyotes
naturally follow the livestock and the
game, advantage is taken of this OPP
portunity to destroy predatory ami
mails at a time when they can be most
economically destroyed with very
slight if any danger to other animals.
Poisoning operations r carried on
under a careful and systematic plan
and kept under control at all times.
December / to March 81 is the period
of time during which poison work is
being done. At this aso of the
year bears are in Information and are
not injured by poison bats put out
for coyotes, wolves and mountain
lions.
"Some people resent organized eff
fort and systematized methods of con-
trolling wolves and coyotes because
the furs from these animals are val
liable and are a source of income to
many who depend on it for a liveli-
hood. The following reasons are
given for their control:
"(a) Predatory animals are de-
structive to livestock, poultry and
game.
"(b) The rabies disease is dissent
mated more rapidly by predatory ami
mails than any other animals on earth.
"As rabies is still in evidence along
the Idaho Wyoming line west of Jack
son, Wyo., and as dogs and cattle
have been effected since March, 1924,
in the Jackson Hole region, it is
plainly evident that if extensive trap
ping and poisoning operations were
not carried on by the State, Federal
and Association forces during the
past two years the disease would I'M
doubtedly be in evidence among the
elk herds of the above mentioned re-
gion.
"The state, federal government and
livestock associations are co-operat-
ing in complete harmony in a con-
certed effort to bring predatory ami
mails under control"

Conversation Not Lost Art
 ButSleeping

,eI think. am not wrong in, saying that most people have become so unused to making any effort in the way of con versation that. even during the short space of time they are at the dinner table, they find it difficult to talk on anything but local gossip, or persopali- ties, which of course, do not come un- der the heading of conversation. .
 hate to say it, and yet it is obvious that society has degenerated in it's stan dards of conversation. It is no longer the center of wit, intelligence and ac- complishment that it was in the days of the salon. This is not because many people of society have not excellent brains, but simply because they do not bother to use them. g- a.
 They are certainly missing lot of fun. How often are things happening right under our moses which would not only be interesting to think about our selves, but to discuss with, others. So many go through life with eyes, ears and brain closed, and in consequence conversation and mental contact with other people is an unknown and unap- preciated territory to them. ]. !.
 In addition to reading, great aid to CuAt Ci SdtIOn l6 dllfe to people and happenings around you. In reading we absorb the observations and opinions of other and finer intel igences than ours, but there is no study more worth while or broadening than forming our own opinions and develop ing our own ideas through observation of the poole and happenings around us. ! The mental lassitude- Of the present A IA craze for and dependence on amusement which does not demand much mental exertion. This craze makes entertain ing very expensive matter. There are so many people who could afford to invite their friends to diner but who cannot afford to take them to the thea, trc or to restaurants. In consequence of the rather general impression that peo- pie require more concrete amusement than merely dinner and conversation offer, they can entertain only very rare ly. s's.s.:. 2 q
 I think, however, there are many peo- pie who would find that they would en- joy an evening of conversation if they would only try it. The other evening certain lady whom I had invited to dinner immediately asked me if we would play Nah Jong. I told her that I was sorry but we were going to do nothing. She came and stayed until 12 o'clock and have since heard from many people that she has mentioned spending a delightful evening at my house. If certain number of people would decide to call conversation q new game I am quite sure 1t would again become popular as of old. .5.
 Naturally, do not mean to give the impression that the theatre, music, dancing, etc, should not be frequently enjoyed-I happen to be enormously fond of all three. I simply mean that they should not be patronized to the entire obliteration and death of what can be the most delightful pastime in the world, the exchange of opinions and thoughts.
 For that matter, at the salons of old
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-03-02

musicians, afterwards famous, often launched by informally playing for the guests, and authors minght read an es- say Or. poem. But the great charm was the informality of these entertainments, and that they were inspired by the com pany and not by the money. They were incidental to the main attraction of the eyening-good conversation.
 repeat I feel quite sure it is only necessary for two or three hostesses to start such evenings and the old time salon will again become popular and so- ciety will resume its position of charm and imbortance in the world of art.

CHAUTAUQUA
ENDS PROGRAM
Prospects for Return of Big
Top Next Year are
Not Bright

The six-day circuit of the Ellison
White Chautauqua gave its last en-
tertainment on July 4th and most of
the patrons are of the opinion that
this years programs were superior
IN many ways to anything that the
company has heretofore brought to
Kennewick. However, the hot wealth
er, lack of cooperation and the in
ability of many former patrons to
purchase season tickets has caused
the guarantors net loss of $1S4.8T
on the six-day performance.
Whether or not the Chautauqua
will again come to Kennewick next
year is still a question. A large ele-
nsnt is arguing strongly for next
years entertainment, while the guar
antors of this year are mostly of the
opinion that the honor of signing on
the dotted is privilege that should
be passed around. The question of a
Sunday program has also complicated
the situation and in view Of the fact
that tie Business Girls, after making
q most thoro canvass, were unable to
sell enough tickets to meet the ex-
penses, the outlook for next year is
rather Giscouraging.
