SOMETIMES FISH ARE LUCKY

A few days ago, several large bass
were caught, by anglers, out of the
North branch of the Shenandoah
River. One of these fish weighed
nearly four pounds and another
about three and three-quarters. This
is indeed a remarkable occurrence,
considering the many destructive
forces that bass have to survive in
this stream of ours, to become great
fish like these.
Undoubtedly, these two prize beau
ties must have had a secret cave
some where in the bank, or else
were invisible, to have escaped the
hook and line fishermen, the giggers,
dippers, set METERS, and rife shots
for the length of time that they did.
Did you ever consider that a fish
that reaches pound size in this river
is lucky? We never give them rest
any season of the year. In the spring,
every time freshet comes and a
fish moves up stream to spawn, it
is met at every little resting place
along the arduous journey with dip
nets. In the summer, thousands of
fishermen are after them with hook
and line, and in the fall and winter
giggers are securing the stream with
huge pine torches and steel spears,
killing every thing in sight. We
must admit that these two old game
sters that went through this barrage
of deaths were mighty clever and are
TO be admired.

tbs FIFTY YEARS SINCE

THE fourth of July 1926 will COM
plete the term of fifty years of Amer
lean freedom. Need we declare the
fact that it should be observed as a
special anniversary by the sons and
grandsons of the Revolutionary he
70 and statesmen. All nations, and
kindreds and tongues, have jubilees
adapted to their peculiar characters.
The religious devotee has his days of
HASTINGS, and feastingsHthe serviIe
peasant celebrates some national an
niversary, although it be in COM
memoration of the birth of the king,
his master.
And why should not America let
forth all the generous feelings of
freemen upon an OCCASION hallowed
by the completion of the first semi
centennial series of western liberty?
Liberty as pure as her own noun
tain streams, and should be inter-
minable as her own Alleghenies. We

GORILLA VERSUS GOD"

There is a slogan coming out OF
Tennessee, as indicated in the cap
ton to this editorial
lust why the sacred. the sacrileg-
ious, and the skeptical should seize
on the trial of a mediocre school
teacher, whose knowledge of evolu-
ton is as limited as was the geo.
graphical knowledge of Marcus Polo,
is beyond the ken of folks who for
over two thousand years have ac-
cepted the simple story of the crea-
ton, attested to by the Nazarene,
and proven by the recurrent events
of the centuries.
1t matters little in the eternal cos
mos Just what We believe. 1t mat
tiers much if in this belief we can
glimpse a star of hope beyond the
inevitable gloom which surrounds
the shroud. The simple faith of a
little child means more for human
happiness than all of the messed
up mirages of monkey chasers.
A little while ago a former Vice
President of the United States, man
whose mentality measured far beyond
the average mind, kissed goodbye
to the sunset and passed the portals
of that bourne from whence no trav-
eler returns" He found consolation
in the old, old story and met his
Maker with the simple precepts OF
faith which made him a leader
among his compatriots.
The farewell of Tom Marshall, as
he died in Washington, with his Bi
BILE in his hands, is a better refuta
ton of the anglers after apish an
cestry than all the eloquence Of
Bryan, or the sapiency of the Mod
ernists A million of folks will con
tinue to live and die in the faith Of
our fathers, despite the rancor anC
irreligion growing out of violation
of a Tennessee statute

UNIVERSITY TO
PROVIDE TREES

From the school of forestry of the
University of Idaho at Moscow, The
Leader has received this week a copy
of the 1925 price list showing the
trees the state university has to offer
the people of Idaho this year, and in
dicating the prices The fact that
the university's tree distribution is
steadily increasing from year to year
is evidence that the service is APP
preciated. University trees in use
for ornamental purposes, and as
windbreaks, shelterbelts, and wood
lots are now to be found in every
part of the state.
This year as in the past, trees
from these state nurseries will be
furnished at approximate cost, writes

SHOOTING SCRAPE
ACROSS THE RIVER

Wednesda shooting occurred at
ranch two miles northwest of Bur-
ley in which the outcome is much
better than 1t might have been. As
it is Bill Cole is at the Cooper hospi-
tai with a badly shattered leg be-
tween the knee and the hip caused
by a shot from revolver. The gun
man Is r. l. Carskadon, who Is now
in the Minidoqa county Jail.
The story of the shooting as CIV
en- us Is to the effect that Orson
Payne. who had been renting Carska-
don's farm had given 1t up and
moved to another farm. They had
much trouble in settling up their af-
fairs and there had been disagree
ment over division of tn ebay At
the time of the shooting Payne was
up to the stack, and it Is said, was
abusing Carskadon in no doubtful
terms. This was resented by Carska-
don, who took a shot at Payne. Payne
dropped on the stack and yelled to
Cole TO hold him. Cole grabbed Car
skadon and in the scuffle got shot
In his leg. Payne slid down from
the haystack, and one witness says
ne got away at radio speed Cole

Home to Mother Nature and Jupiter,
consequently the earth is wet and
soft.
The lawns of the school house are
in condition that walking across
them will spoil the grass. There are
good Sidewalks leading to and from
the building so there is 10 necessity
of going across the lawns.
In years prior to 1925 Mountain
Home was said to have had the most
beautiful school grounds in southern
Idaho. But if our lawns are all cut
up by thoughtless students we can
not keep this reputation.

DESERT SONS
ORGANIZED SUNDAY

A novel initiation of candidate:
for membership in the Pioneer Order
of Descent Sons held Sunday at Noun
tain Home strictly speaking, in the
vicinity of Mountain Home.
Candidates were iwhisked out OF
town and transformed into sage
brush prospectors'' (and they looked
the part) and then they were car
ried, run and foated through the
mud and water to the Skeleton Cave,
about eight miles Southwest of town
where THE goat was waiting.
While the main features of the ini-
tiation were held beyond the eurios
gaze of the public there can be no
doubt but that 1T was a painful for
ty-f1ye minute workout for the can
didates, hut the goat looked strong
and healthy when it was over.
The eats were frequent and tasty
and were completely consumed.
The local chapter of the Order of
Desert Sons is to be counted one of
the fun making and popular Orders
of the community and is growing
fast.
The Order is one of the oldest in
the country, having its beginning in
the days OF "49" when pioneering
and prospecting was not all pleasure
and romance and was attended by
real danger from every angle.
As THE years have rolled by and
the Pioneers and Prospectors, of the
olden days, have one by one passed |
away and left only their history of
hardships and perils as a heritage to
the present generation, the Order of
Desert Sons was organized in the
Western States to gather data to
complete record OF the early days
OF our beloved west and to aid in
the finding of geological and histor-
ical data which may be of future
value.
One OF the objects of the Order is
to find, locate and aid in the pro-
motion OF natural points of Interest
In each local community, for sight
seers, tourists and students, and fur
nish legitimate places of amusement
where members and their friends
may pass many pleasurable and pro-
fitable hours In recreation and study
OF natural historical and legendary
lore to which Gilmore county is par
ticularly adapted.
Only outdoor lovers and true
sportsanen can become members and
then only after strenuous initia-
tion-red blood and daring are more
essential than great riches-and it
Is expected that the Chapter of the !
Elmore Desert will develop some ex-
cellent talent before the summer is /
over.
When the weather clears up 1t is :
expected, 80 our reporter was in
formed, that ladies auxiliary will ,
be organized in Mountain Home.
