GAME-A BIG BUSINESS
Rocky Mountain NeWsl

It is bit difficult to translate into the dol
lars and cents standards of business life the
value of wild game.
The national resources board has attempted
to do it. Almost lost among larger figures, the
land planning committee inserted a chapter en-
the need for conservation of our rapidly dwin-
ding stock of wild life.
The value of meat and fur from wild animals
and birds killed each year is $4,000 900, the
committee found. Hunters alone spend S158 OOO-
600 annually for meat and supplies Hunting and
fishing clubs and tourists attracted primarily by
wild life spend s254,O000OO each year.
The board recommended reservation of 3d.
100000 acres of land as game refugees to increase
and maintain wild life-which has an additional
value in destroying rodents and insects.
The speed of the disappearance of wild
game IS emphasized by the National Audubon
Society which has just appealed for a national
closed season on ducks during 1885
Hunting and fishing is already more than
S500000, 900 business. 1t can become even big
ger. The national resources board has done
well to consider and provide for this in it's 30
year land use program.

LEGAL TIES STILL
ENDANGER POWER PROGRAM

That vast ajority of valley residents
who have repeatedly expressed them
selves as favoring the production and
distribution of power in connection with
the All American canal, should not too
enthusiastically greet the good news that
the United States circuit court of ap-
pealS denied the request of the Nev-Cal
Electrical Securities company for an
injunction restraining the district from
building standby plant at Brawley.
The courts action was only a winning
score in this particular skirmish. The
power company's plans, as evidenced by
actions brought thus far in attempting
TO stop the districts progress, indicates
that there are many more serious hur-
dies to be overcome. Every effort will be
made and is being made, to obstruct the
program of power development and dis
tribution, and most legal talent recog-
nlzes that there is no better place to
effect an obstructionist policy than
through legal proceedings. Everything
should be done to speed UP this slow
slogging through the mires of court ac-
tions. No stone should be left unturned
IN freeing the district from legal restric-
tions which might, if too prolonged, so
delay progress that opportunity to OBJ
tain the necessary government funds on
the also-necessary and most-to-be de-
sired present basis, will have fled There
is the real danger. 1t will not be averted
by just this single court ruling. How to
get more and more speed and thus receive
clear track-that is the question which
still casts its shadow over the ultimate
success of the power plan.

INDEBTED TO CLARK

Clark, his fellow committee member for his

girl came to her teacher and sobbed;

Yes, We smile, but what of a whole

the stark reality of no place in the

A FRIEND AT COURT
GOES TO A HIGHER COURT

When DR.. Elwood Mead, United
States commissioner of reclamation, died
at Washington, Imperial Valley lost a
friend at court He was not a friend in
the sense that many politicians or vote
seekers are friends. He was not the kind
of man who professed friendship, only
to belle his words by his actions. 1t was
not by his words that Imperial Valley
knew DR.. Mead as a friend.
When DR.. Mead began in 1919 to
draft report on a proposal for the All
American canal, he was frankly against
the project. He studied facts and figures.
He learned the history and scanned the
future of Imperial Valley and southern
California-and he changed his mind.
His report was favorable. Not since that
day, to the very day of his death, had Dr.
Mead changed his mind again. The All
American canal, to him, was like his
own vision.
In the things Imperial Valley has
wanted, sometimes DR.. Mead could see
drawbacks. He was sure to point them
out. His friendship was not blind, but
it was constructive In all the battles the
valley has fought at the fountainhead of
federal government, DR.. Mead has been
aligned with the best interests of the
valley His counsel has done much to
acquaint successive secretaries of the in
terror with the valley and its reclama-
ton projects. His vision has gone a long
way toward making the valley what it is
now, and behind what the valley will be
in few more years will stand a large
measure of DR.. Mead's judgment
Not only Imperial Valley, but all Of
the west loses friend at court with the
passing of Dr. Elwood Mead.

UNPRECEDENTED

The bitterness with which Glass and Connally
denounced Nye was something almost unpre-
cedented in the senate'S history, but the fact is
that Democrats of the Wilsonian school are
rather angrer at Senator Bennett Champ Clark
than at the North Dakotan.
For Clark who defended the latter, himself
is a Democrat
They can assert that Nye, a Republican, is
actuated by partisan malice but such an accusa-
ton doesn't fit in Clark's case. What the WILSON,
ians do argue, among themselves, is that Clark
is willing to see Wilson's memory "sneared'
because the wartime chief executive defeated his
father, the late Speaker Champ Clark, for the
Democratic presidential nomination

The children of the Tsar were

wing of the Confederate army,
which was judged the weak spot.
This left wing was commanded
by General Beauregard.
While these three divisions
were going into action, the
fourth division was to hold
Blackburn's Ford and oppose
any movement by the main
body of the Southern forces.
At two o'clock in the morning
muffled drums sounded, calling
the men in Blue to fall into forma-
ton. The regulars, wise in the
ways of war, made a haSty break

cook breakfast. And this failure
perhaps marked the turning point
of the battle.

berry patches. causing a delay that
spoiled the timing of the battle.
The first division was three
hours behind time in coming into
position, and as they blocked the
roads they held up the other two
divisions which had to go two
miles to the north to reach their
position.
But despite this, the attack was
successful, and the ConfederateS
retreated from the Stone Bridge
where the attack conferred. Com
manding the attack, General NC

the Northern forces to deliver q

But his staff was disorganized.
