 Executive Officer Ernest P. Walker, of the Commission, states that sale of game has so often led to its exter- imitation or near .extermination throughout the world that it has now become one of thelshasic principle of wild life protection to prevent sale and d.cnmmercialiaatinm6fseame in any form.
 Mir. Walker also ccalled. attention to the fact that the deer season closed November 30, instead of December l5. as formerly and as has been. the case for a couple of years past.

LIFE IN NEW YORK.

First. you rush to an undertaking parlor to see dead movie star. If You are not trampled to death by. the mob you meet there, you dash. to the wharf with another mob, to see Ger trNle Estele, Douglas Fairbanks, 'Krishnammurti and Peggy Joyce .ar- riye.' If this does not prove fatal, you wedge yourself into suffocasing greup around man who is selling patent collar buttons. Then, lodging taxicabs, motorcycles, trucks and kid die cars, you go home, apply hniment, arnica and iodine to your body, give three cheers for Al Smith and ;. Jimmy for Jimmy Walker, and clap into bed to get little sleep before the next days fun. Such is life sin New York, the worlds greatest nick town.--St. Louis Dispatch.

"HGH-SEAS ENTERPRISE"

Three-mile limits and twelve mile limits both fail to discourage the tire less traders in prohibited liquor, and now the deep-sea ahootlegger has been discovered at work. The Brooklyn Eagle says of.the industry:
 "The chairman of the shipping board has ordered an investigation into charges that liquor is being sold on board the steamship Leviathan; and other boats owned and operated by the United States Government. The liquor is not abeing sold officially, winch would. be contrary. to Jaw. Two years ago American. ships went dry, although foreign ships.are permitted to bring liquor into American ports. Any liquor .ssold or carried on an American ship. officially, or otherwise, is illegal.
 "If stewards or othernmembers. of ships companies try Ito searn a dis honest dollar. .whilerat the same time slaking oceanrgoing thirst, it is not surprising.

FORMER GOVERNOR BONE
 ACCOUNTS ALASKAN HISTORY

Former Governor Scott c. Bone de- clares that the Territory of Alaska receives only intermittent attention from the nation, despite the enormous treasures it has yielded. His views are expressed in signed article ap- bearing in the Semi-Centennial edi- tion of the rSeattle Post-Intelligence. The article is as follows:
 Alaska has belonged to the United States for 59 years. Fourteen admin istrations have come and gone during that period, but under few has more than intermittent attention been given to that remote and still unde- veloped country. The first two de- cades of ownership did not compare favorably with the last quarter of a century of Russian occupancy. Hav- ing bought and paid for the vast do- main, it was permitted to shift for itself, neglected and forgotten. A period of stagnation ensued, with law lessness prevalent and no govern ment worthy of the name. The pur- chase from Russia was consummated by William H. Seward, Secretary of State, at a cost of $7,2o0,00O, and the American flag was hoisted at Sitka. October IS, 1867. A customs district was created, but no government pro- vided. Military posts were established at Sitka, which remained the center of activities; at Tongass, Wrangell, Ke- mai and Kodiak, with smal detach- ments of troops at the seal islands of St. George and St. Paul. A loose sys- tenn of military rule followed. At the time of the purchase Alaska was de- risively termed 'Walrussia,' 1Ameri- can-Siberia,' Icebergia,' and Stewards Folly All troops were withdrawn in 1870 except those at Sitka, and neglect and demoralization followed, The troops at Sitka were withdrawn

The District of Alaska was

n l6'3. The District of Alaska was
 created in fesl and civil govern
 'rent established at Sitka, with 8 gov
 ernor and federal court officials. This
 marked the first step after 17 years
 toward establishing a government,
 with system of courts and civil and
 criminal code. Active interest in
 Alaska was displayed throughout the
 Roosevelt administration. In 19Uc,
 after seven Congresses had received
 favorable reports on the proposition
 and failed to act, the Territory was
 given delegate to the House of Rep resentatives, and road and trail build- ing was inaugurated. By executive
 order, in 1909, 20,0OO,0OO acres of
 land along the coast and on the islands were converted into forest re- serves. Surveys of the proposed Gov
 ornment Railroad were inaugurated
 under Taft, provision was made for a
 home for the governor at Juneau, and in 1912 an organic act was passed un- der which Alaska became Territory. The Wilson administration gave help full attention to Alaska and cham pioned the building of the Government
 Railroad, which was put under way in 1915. The President himself desig- mated the route. The Harding admin cs+~ ~ot;ox, ..,<,,vaQ nj, :r%o,or+ :,, "A 1~c1~~, and demonstrated the same. Bills were immediately introduced to sim plify and make more workable the federal system in the Territory and a revolvingdev elopmentfundof E zz revolving development fund of $5,0O0.- 900 was proposed. The year 1923 was made memorable by visit to the Ter ritory of President Harding and mem bers of his cabinet, preceded by a large congressional delegation, which centered the attention of the world upon the Nerthland. The consensus of opinion resultant from these visita- tions was that the growth and devel- opment of the Territory would neces- sarily be slow and that to its citizen ship must be left the working out des- tiny. An outstanding achievement of the first year of the Coolidge admin istration, of enduring benefit to the country, and to Alaska, was the en- actment of lRislation by Congress to protect and conserve the fisheries byI vesting full authority and control in the Department of Commerce. Ad- problems, touching and affecting Alaska, are receiving en- frightened attention, and the President has expressed himself hopeful of al period of highly gratifying develop ment for Alaska in a not not very distant fgture.'"

SPRING

Before we speak of spring itself, we wish to say that spring
lever, which is going to be quite common during the next month
or two, is not explained in the same way by all the psychologists
and physicians, but without regard to what these learned folks
say the people who get it will heartily agree that it is a very
real and not exactly an unpleasant thing.
Some writers tell us that it is nothing but a lethargic
drowslness, caused by the poison accumulated during the
physical lnaction of winter. We can help nature to eliminate
these poisons by taking long walks, breathing deeply of the
fragrant spring air, or starting to hoe the garden.
There is reason to believe, however, that spring fever is not
entirely physical. There is a good deal of the phychic in it, also.
1t Is partly phychic insofar as it is a reaction from winter. The
contrast between the first warm weather and the cold of winter
unconsclously reminds us of the sluggishness of the tropics,
nome OF our prehistoric ancestors. Or perhaps spring fever is
an inheritance from the times when the cave man, after a long
and monotonous winter in his den, stroned out to bask lazily in
the warm spring sunlight.
Agreeable as the gentle lassitude of spring fever often is,
we must not surrender ourselves to it too readily, for there is
more work to be done in spring than perhaps in any other
season, the man who abandons himself to spring fever will not
do his share of it.
With this warning emphasized, permit us to observe that
the delights of spring cannot easily be exaggerated. 1t is then
That the sap starts rising in the trees. Grass sprouts green.
Plant life buds. CHIPPING birds pause on their way north. The
bear leaves his pit. Timber wolves stop running in packs and
mate. That is spring-the sunrise of a new period of life. The
backyard gardener stirs. Farmers whistle in the fields. Coli
bug smacks his lips. Fisherman goes over his tackle. Small
boys swarm with marbles, baseball, kites.
Spring is a time to take a new lease on life, to get a fresh
start. Fill your lungs with fresh air and go to it. The best
thing about spring is that it is a prelude to another round of
intense human activity. Except, of course, for the gentleman
who has spring fever 365 days of the year.
1t won't be long now.

swEITzER's BAsKETEERs WIN AND LOSE

Although Coach Sweitzers basket ball boys received nothing
better than fourth place in the basketball tournament which
ended at Lowell Saturday night, The Enterprise feels that in
every way the Cody boys were winners throughout the entire
basketball season, and their victory which is a signal one, is not
estimated by the number of games won or lost.
Coach Sweitzer may well be proud of his basket ball boys
this year. They are a fine group of fellows, have played the
game with the spirit of true craftsmanship the goal at all times
and that they were able to rate nothing better than fourth place
at the tournament is of little consequence. 1t is the way the
game is played and the spirit of the participants which measures
the victory or defeat. 1t is the development Of the young men
along higher and nobler lines that is the real victory and we
believe nowhere can be found a cleaner bunch of young men
than represented Cody at the Basin meet.

BUSINESS SUICIDE

One of the strange conditions in most towns is the apparent
eagerness with which many good citizens assist in killing the
business of the town. All kinds of enthusiasm may be shown
in boosting for civic improvements, the welfare of the different
societies, churches, city and county. Yet by a little personal
business transaction they nulify all their other efforts and then
are puzzled because prosperity does not reign supreme-this
being the suicide habit of buying away from home. The growth
of this habit during the past few years is largely responsible
Tor the failure of the country towns to maintain their former
thrifty condition. This community suicide business is carried
on by the citizens in all walks of life to the detriment of the
other business institutions. The money leaves never to return.
The thrilling saving here and there usually is imaginary more
than real when the year rolls around. 1t is not enough to
permit the average citizen to forget his duty to his city and its
, 1927-03-16

industries. Boosting for prosperity on one side and sending
money away for articles which could be purchased at home on
the other will never prevent stores from going out of business
or make the financial foundation of the town strong. Every
line of business is affected by the community suicide club. The
printing industry is hit just as hard a blow as any other bust
ness. Easy takers, radio broadcasters and neatly arranged
.catalogs make the out of town bargain look like the grass beyond
the fence, always better. When in most instances it. is cheaper
material, poorer workmanship and less durable. The breaking
down of the spirit of the community solidarity is more impor-
tant than the business which is lost, because it spells the decline
of the country town which is the galway to the American
foundation of prosperity-the farm.
