Listen, Brother. I like nothing

I've met the best. I've even held

Miss Earhart was driven about
the city by her host and hostess
an dwas much pleased and inter-
ested by what she saw. She is
much in love with our desert
region having been in Vegas some
five years ago before fame over
took her. She expressed the
wish to return some time in the
future to make her home and
follow undisturbed her literary
work with the Cosmopolitan. Her
unassuming simplicity of manner
and entire absence of egotism
made her entertainment a plea
sure.
Miss Earhart was flying alone
and was fatigued and a little bit
nervous as to the ability of her
Moth plane TO make the altitude
for the fight to Salt Lake.
Nevertheless she took of without
hesitation and met with what
might have been a serious ac-
cident when she was forced to
land this side of Salt Lake.
Her failure to reach Salt Lake
on schedule caused much anX-
iety among her friends and there
was much wiring back and forth
before her safety was finally es-
tablished late SUNDAY evening.
The Moth plane which Miss
Earhart was flying has a fame
but little less notable than that
of its owner and pilot. 1t was
flown by Lady Heath of England
from London to South Africa
early this year, a very astonishing
achievement for the little four
cylindered plane with a wing
spread of about "a feet.
The Moth is a clever little plane
as trim and business like as the
personality Of its famous owner.
It is we'll decorated with small
silver shields which briefly tell
its history. The presentation
shield reads:
ITO Amelia Earhart. Wishing
her Good Luck. With Love from
Mary Heath, 26-6-2S. Always
think with your stick forward !"
Other inscriptions are;

den. From Repair Party PIG

flights and landings"
Following Miss Earharts arrival
in England after her trans-Atlan-
tic flight, Lady Heath presented
her with the plane in which she
had made the South Africa flight.

SUGGESTIONS ON TRAPPING

except possibly the bear. that does
not suffer from inroads into their
numbers by wolves.
: The future abundant supply OF fur
and game for the people of the terri
tory who rely on trapping as a Twill
hood and on game as a food supply,
It is feared, depends on a control of
these predatory animals. Many sec
lions are now feeling the effects Of
the presence Of predatory animals, a
condition which perhaps can not be
completely overcome, but can be al
leviated by the active cooperation of
the trappers and prospectors in the
hills The territory is paying a
bounty of SIS each as an inducement
for this cooperation.
An appeal is made to every trap
per aud prospector in the territory to
take an active part in the control of
these animals and turn the scale
from the present increase to a de-
crease in their numbers.
Trapping for predatory animals
should ordinarily be carried on only
during the open seasons for the TAX
inc of other fllr hearers as the
chance of catching a protected fur
bearer is great, and, if such is done,
the trapper is committing a violation
of the fur laws and therefore is sub
jet to the penalties prescribed.
Following are some of the more
important features to be considered
in trapping coyotes and wolves.

Coyotes are apparently spreading
steadily over the territory. Having
entered from the eastern information
al boundary. their drift is westerly
and southerly until now they have
become common throughout most of
the eastern part Of the territory.
It is well established fact that
coyotes prey upon the waterfowl.
ptarmigan and the grouse family.
Their food habits being similar to
the fox, they reduce the food which
would normally be eaten by the fox
and other fur bearers and by the re-
duction OF their food supply the fur
bearers can not increase as rapidly
as they otherwise would.
Coyotes are credited with killing
fox and other fur bearers which they
probably do. It is known that they
will run colony of foxes out of
their dens and utilize the dens for
themselves to rear their young By
this, in many instances, they force
the expectant mother foxes out of
the warm nests that have been pre-
pared for their young and at time
OF year when the mother fox can not
prepare a new den. consequently The
young perish. It is without ques-
ton that there is a considerable loss
of foxes through this cause. It is
reported by trappers in sections
where coyotes have been present for
several years, that they are destroy
ing muskrats. They are also charged
with killing of the young Of big
game.
Wolves have been with US longer
than the coyotes and are apparently
also increasing and spreading into
new sections of the territory. The

MOTOR TOURISTS
GIVEN Warnings
Should Guard Against Con-
tasious Diseases

New York, May rs Rs-The
countless gasoline nomads who roam
the roads each summer in search of
scenery and fresh air constitute
big public health problem because
Of the contagious diseases they may
encounter in the tourist camps with
which Americas vacation land is
dotted.
This is the opinion of DR.. Donald
Life Insurance company, who urges
vaccination and immunization for
those who take their annual outing
in the family car.
THE prospective tourist must
remember" he says. that he Will
stop at automobile camps, farm
houses or places where the water
supply may not be as pure as that
at home. He should be protected
against typhoid feyed. Diphtheria
and even smallpox are other dis
eases that may be encountered on
the vacation trail but vaccination
and immunization are easy and the
knowledge that all members OF the
party are protected against these
diseases means much. Parents
who would not let child attend
school when any of his classmates
has contracted a contagious dis
ease think nothing OF letting their
children run all kinds Of risks on
an auto tour
Health authorities In the differ
emit states are beginning to realize
the danger OF disease spreading
from tourist camps and are setting
down regulations for them. This
control is mainly in respect to
sanitation, When it is realized
that these camps number more
than 1000 and that well over s.
100000 persons pass through them
annually it will be seen that these
tourists do present a health prob
lem that must be faced. There Is
little doubt In the minds of some
authorities that the increase in
smallpox and typhond fever in some
instances can be traced directly to
these camps and these travellers.
