UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Uncle Wiggily's little rabbit boys
and girls had so much fun at the
seashore. where they lived IN

few.
They went in bathing almost
every day, dug holes in the SAND,
picked up pretty shells along the
edge of the kissing waves and some
times, in the evening, they would
build a fire on the beach and toast
marshmallow candies.

The rabbits.

the sand, Uncle Wiggily came hop

Cost of Restoring
Old Fort Owen to
BE About $4,000

Rehabilitation of Fort Owen will
probably cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
trustees Of the Fort Owen Historical
association announce.
This amount, it Is thought, will be
ample for preservation of the historic
outpost but does not include salary OF
q caretaker that the committee believes
necessary.
The barn, disf1guring the fort
grounds, is to be moved and a general
cleanup of the fort and its surround
ings effected. The immediate work OF
the association will be preservation OF
the five rooms OF the only barrack re-
manning. Repairs Of adobe, the origin
al material of which Fort Owens was
constructed, will be made. Whether OF
not adobe or cement Is to be used In
the reconstruction Of the whole fort
will depend upon the sentiment OF
those who contribute money.
The Fort Owen Historical association
has been Incorporated for $25 900 ano
stock will be issued at $40 q share
The stock is nonassesSable and non
dividend paying, George T. Baggs, who
Is supervising the legal part Of the

report. During the past few seasons II
has been noticeable that this flight has
almost ceased to occur as such, and
seems to have been broken into more
or less of a migration of stragglers in
small groups to the south. This may
be because of weather conditions. and
then again the decrease in numbers
may have some effect upon the group
ing for the southern migration in the
fall.
although the uses OF the decrease
are not definitely known, many reasons
are advanced. Backward spring result
in heavy losses of birds, owing to the
unfavorable Matching conditions. Pre-
datory animals and birds seem to be
a large factor. Some disease is appar-
emily present, especially among the
grouse of the region, since the decrease
of blue grouse has been marked dur
ing the past 10 years, and many have
been found dead and diseased. Large
bag limits and long open seasons make
for at least a part of this mortality
among game birds"

DEER DECREASE
in j. s. FORESTS
OTHER GAME HOWEVER SHOWS
GAIN IN NUMBERS IN WEST
ERN MONTANA AND IDAHO
Predatory Animals Responsible for Fall
ing Off in Deer, according to Report
Of Officials, Who Say That Hunters
Have Killed Only AIS Percent.

Deer have decreased by 2.8 per-
cent in the national forests Of Mon
tana and northern Idaho during the
last five years, according to = report
on game conditions just made by the
regional forester at Miss0ula.
This figure, which Is based on obser-
vations made by forest officers, Is be-
lieved to be approximately correct, and
indicates that slightly more than the
total increase of the deer has been
killed. OF the kill Ais per cent only
has been by hunters, the remainder be-
ing laid to predatory animals and other
causes.
The report shows on the other hand
that elk have increased 60.3 percent,
moose 80 percent, black bear 81 per-
cent, grizzlies 1876 percent, mountain
sheep 1876 percent, and mountain goats
53.5 percent.
Fur-bearing animals show a gain for
all species. Otter show the heaviest in
crease, or 1873 percent over the figures
for 1924, the date Of the last report.
Mink have made the least gain, with
only "A percent increase In the last
five years.
Taken as q whole, the figures on
game and ~fur-bearing animals are en-
couraging with the exception of deer,
which are the most widely distributed
and the most hunted Of any OF our
large groups Of big game animals, &C
cording to the regional forester.
A decided decrease in game birds Is
noted In the national forests Of Mon
tana and northern Idaho during the
past five years, according to q fish and
game census report just made by the
regional forester at Missoula.
This applies not only to upland spe-
cies but also to migratory water fowl.
1T Is increasingly apparent that
both Of these large groups are decreas-
ing over q period Of years." states the
regional forester. THE number Of up
land birds seen at the present time Is
not nearly 50 great in the same areas
as they we're 5 or 10 years ago.
THE northern flight Of migratory
birds In the fall Is also steadily de-
creasing In numbers, according to the

FavOrs Game Board
of Three Elected
by Sportsmen Only

The Great Falls chapter of the Izaak
Walton league has gone on record as
favoring the enactment of legislation
to permit election by ballot OF a game
commission of three members by hold
ers of fishing and hunting licenses.
The commissioners under this plan
would draw salaries and serve terms
similar to those Of the state railroad
commissioners. Such a plan, league
members felt, would place the re-
sponsibility for the expenditure OF
1920, 900 OF more received each year
from fishing and hunting licenses on
men selected by those who support
the state wild life program by pur-
chase of licenses.
The Great Falls chapter also went
on record as disappearing any increase
in license fees pending a more thorough
study of the present expenditures and
a survey of the needs of the state in
wild life conservation and propagation.

Huston Tries to Play Martyr
Minneapolis JOurnal)

A00A<
Claudius H. Huston gives up the craftsmanship Of the
Republican national committee in order to save his party
from further embarrassment. But even as he lays aside
the scepter. he reaches for the martyrs crown. He insists
that he is the victim Of persecution, condemned on al
ready refuted charges. And by implication he reproaches
the administration and other leaders for not standing
by him, when under fire.
The Tennesseean does not make such a good case. The
charge that his financial activities were too closely in
terwoven with his political activities stands. That the
senates lobby committee could find nothing illegal in
all this, does not clear him. The national chairman
of a great party, like the wife of Caesar, should be
above suspicion.
Forty years ago Matthew Quay helped shipwreck the.
Republican party. when, like Huston, he was accused
Of mixing politics with pecuniary gain while serving as
national chairman. Quay refused to resign. even when
importuned by his own friends to do so. And that twas
one of the reasons why the Republicans lost the house
in 1890 and the senate and the white house two years
later.
True, the accusations against Quay were graver than
those against Huston. The Pennsylvania boss was
charged, among other things, with p~rofiting in the stock
market by his inside knowledge OF what was to be done
at Washington. Thimblerigging was not listed in the Of
lenses laid to Huston, even by his worst enemies.
But the Huston resignation was in order, and should
have come across with better grace. There was no dis
loyalty to Mr.. Huston in the administrations attitude.
Rather was there ~dkloyalty to the administration, when
Mr.. Huston got himself mixed up in what Amos and Andy
would call a mess, and refused to resign.

Why Argue I?

A light truck driver in a mid-western city stopped as
was required before crossing a main street. Directly be-
hind him came a passenger car, whose driver thought he
could squeeze through to the trucks right, preparatory
to making a right turn.
In doing so. however, the passengers bumper tore off
the rear right fender Of the light truck. Both drivers, as
is the American custom, got out to argue, the passenger
car motorist explaining to the other that, since his car
wasn't insured and the truck was, 1t might not be amiss
for the truck driver to assume all the blame and let by
cones be bygones.
That, too, seems to be a quaint American custom. How
ever, the truck driver was obdurate. He didn't want to
imperil his job for the sake of a stranger, especially since
the cost of replacing the fender wouldn't be SO much. An
argument ensued, of course. but the end was tragic. The
passenger car driver turned out to be an amateur boxer,
and he gave the truck driver such a sound beating that
the unfortunate victim is said to be permanently dis
abled.
All of which may not, from first glance, seem so very
significant to US far from the scene. But 1t reflects an
important lesson, anyway. Gentlemanly discussion Of an
unfortunate accident, no matter how trivial or how
severe, will get you much farther than any temperament
tai outburst.
And if the other fellow refuses to meet you on that
level, it is wisest to make note of license numbers and
witnesses and retreat quickly on the Falstaffian princi-
pie that
