% I GENUINE BULL 11 DURHAM tobacco makes 50 good cigarettes for 10c POLITICAL GOSSIP OF CAPITAL Index's Special Correspondent Comments on Important Pending Legislation. Although the fish and game com snittee of the senate, through major ity action of one, refused to have printed the new fish and game bill, providing a commission and making it legal for those who want to raise game for their own use to do so, the •senate lent its disapproval by order- ing the bill transferred to another •committee, education, in the face of vigorous objections from the chair- man of the fish and game committee, -Johnson of Nez Perce. The majority «f the senate expressed itself as being dissatisfied with what was styled an effort on the part of the committee to throttle the measure and give no chance for its consideration. The proposed appropriation for the educational department will undoubt edly be curtailed sharply. The gener al feeling is that too many trimmings have been permitted under the cir cumstances as to tax possibilities and that educational institutions will have to submit to a cut to a practical work ing basis if there is to be any mate rial reduction in state taxation, that this can be done without impairing the effectiveness of necessary school work. There is particular opposition to the manner in which the extension «department of the state university has Leen permitted to expand, creating many positions regarded as unneces sary and a heavy expense. It is rec ognized that some work done by the •extension service has been most de sirable, such as the efforts at destruc tion of rodents, etc., but the vast ex pansion that dates from war times, it is felt, should be markedlv deflated and the extension work put down to the absolute necessities. One authority who has investigated the subject declares that if the ex tension department ' extends itself much farther most everybody else will have to move out of the state house. It is felt that if the exten sion forces are confined to essentials, leaving folks to work out minor prob lems for themselves, nothing neces sary will be neglected, the expense ■will he materially reduced and a grow ing tendency to build up a great and not needed organization in a small state will be curbed. Defenders of the extension depart ment and its various ramifications say that Idaho will lose certain fed eral aid, but they are answered by the statement that this dollar-for-dol lar plan of the government in this with highways, is more prof case, as ita'ole if rejected than if accepted. The most potent argument favor reduction in this connection is ing that, it being necessary to reduce tax ation, these educational trimmings can only be retained at the expense of the common schools and of need ed instruction in the established state educational institutions. Indications are that the proposed law repealing the 2-mill state road tax act, and the direct primary pro posal, will be acted on as party meas ures, although there are some signs of a rebellion against a binding cau cus agreement. Opposition to repeal of the 2-mill road tax does not run to the merits of the proposal as a means of reducing to that extent the state tax levy but to the possibilities of a substitute taxation to take its place. The money, it is pointed out, must be raised in any event if the road building program is to be car ried out and highways properly main tained. The only question is whether stll property owners, or oaly a class. two, will pay tbs bill. As a sab or ! stitute a tax of 2 cents a gallon on j gasoline is proposed; also a license j of $1 or $2 on each person driving an : auto. It is estimated that this will bring in a minimum of 2600,000, or J about half the amount furnished by the - 2 mill road tax. There is brisk opposition to return to the old primary system, which, it it contended, proved a dismal failure, although there is general disposition to correct anything shown to be wrong in the law providing a convention system. The present outlook is that the convention system will not be set aside. We presume that there never was a newspaper in any locality that gave all the local happenings, says an ex change, and its article is so appli cable that we reprint it: It is often that someone comes or goes that the reporter does not see. that the family is missed several times. They get the impression the editor does not care to mention them. That is a mistake. In most country towns the local work is the hardest It happens part connected with the newspaper. Editorial matter is obtained by study, by reading newspapers and by using the scissors. Personal and local hap penings can't be read and clipped from other newspaper*—not. by a jug ful. It takes physical as well as mental exertion to get out several columns of local happenings. Don't be afraid to tell the reporter that you have friends visiting you. Peach Stones for Fuel A 500-ton mountain of peach stones was recently thrown upon the New York fuel market as a substitute coal.

The Custer wolf is dead! It was the master criminal of the world. For nine years it had lived as an outlaw—the cruelest, the most sa gacious, the most successful animal outlaw that the range country had ever known, passed only by its cunning. It killed with the refinement of animal feroc Its cruelty was sur it» The telephones throughout the re gion around Custer, S. D., hummed when the word went out that a hunt had killed the criminal wolf. That word ended the nine years' reign of dread during which the stockmen around Custer had paid tribute to the wolf to the extent of 825,000 worth of livestock. And mere money loss was not the whole of the horrible toll it took. When it killed for food, it took only the choicest animals, but sometimes it killed in atrocious ways for the mere sake of killing. Often it wounded cattle, breaking their leg3, biting off their tails, mutilating them terribly. Four years ago its mate was killéd. It never took another and many peo ple supposed that it devoted itself to revenge for her death. Later on, it attached to itself two coyotes, not as equals, but servants. Never permit ted them to come near it, and they could feed from its kill only after it had finished. They traveled far out er on its flanks, giving it warning of | ambush or approaching danger and adding to the atmosphere of mystery that surrounded it. After a bounty, reaching $500, fail ed to bring in the criminal wolf's scalp; after private trappers and sportsmen hunters had given up thé quest; after poison and dogs had fail ed—the stockmen tried a round-up. Having, as they thought, located the wolf a large number of the riders started in a great circle and closed up. This, like all other devices, was un successful. Some of the stockmen de er. Therefore the department of ag riculture sent to Custer, H. P. Wil liams, one of its best hunters, with in structions to stay after the wolf until it was taken. a- • • « „ , Twice m May, 1920, the wolf step ped on the jaws of traps and on the night of July 3 it rolled into or lay I down on one and had a lot of its hair pulled out. This gave it such a scare that it left the country for a while. No signs of it could be found near Custer until the night of August 1, when it made its present« known by killing several head of cattle and wounding several more. found some 0 / these cattle, took the trail of the wolf and followed it all day. This led up to the mouth of a canyon and, knowing the wolf would be taking a sleep after its big feed, Williams tied his horse and started in. Just then two horsemen came up, Williams PORTLAND MAN GAINS 30 POUNDS Morris feels Better Than in 20 Years Since Tanlac Built Him Up. "Before I started taking Tanlac I was so bad off I couldn't do a lick of work, but now I am back at work and am thirty-three pounds heavier than before and feeling better than I have in twenty years," said R. R. Morris, 1616 Huron street, Portland, Oregon. "Twelve years ago I suffered a gen eral break-down and I got worse and worse each year until finally I had to quit work. I was living in Colorado at the time and after spending lots of money on different medicines with out getting relief I thought a change of climate was what 1 needed so I moved to Portland, but instead of get ting better I grew worse. I had rheu matism in my arms and shoulders and the pains would go up ray back into the back of my beck, and at times my wrists gave out completely and I could hardly pick up my hat. My ap petite went down to nothing. Some times I even hated to go to the table and what little I managed to eat did me more harm than good, weight and strength and was so weak I felt like there was hardly any life I I lost or energy left in me. "Well, by the time I had finished my second bottle of Tanlac I was eat ing better, feeling better and picking up in weight right along. Since tak ing four bottles I have gained thirty three pounds and feel just like I have been made over, has disappeared altogether and the pains in my neck and head have all gone. My big gain in weight shows that I have the finest kind of appetite, and nothing I ever eat ever gives me any trouble at all. I am back at work and never miss a day and I give the credit for my health and strength en tirely to Tanlac. Tanlac is sold in Emmett by H. T. Davis; in Montour by E. Vadney and the Montour Mercantile Co.; in Ola by P. W. Wharton. The rheumatism riding at breakneck speed and calling to Williams that they had found a yearling steer killed by the wolf. Williams motioned them to go back but they did not understand what he meant and he was forced to return to meet them. Thus he lost the best ; chance he ever had of getting the | wolf with t rifle. When he returned ! to the trail he found the place where , the wolf had bedded down to sleep. | The noise made by the horsemen had given it the alarm and it had gone back down the canyon very close to the hunter and escaped. Early, in September the wolf step ped on a trap and was caught slightly by one foot. had tipped so that it caught only one side of the foot and the wolf was able to pull loose. He left some hair in the trap. This happened again in the early days of October. Williams finally ,got the wolf—Oc tober 11. Here is his own account of Apparently the trap it: "He stepped into a trap in the morning and it got a good grip on him. He ran with it about 150 yards when the hook caught in a tree, but that did not seem to stop him at all. He broke the swivel of the trap and ran op with it on his front foot, trailed him three miles and got a sh n at him and got him. He has been so lucky that I expected the gun to fail to shoot, but it worked. He is small e r than the average male wolf, weigh ed ninety-eight pounds, and measured just six feet from tip to tip. teeth woul^ be good for fifteen years longer. iHe broke some of them off on the trap, but aside from that they were in good condition. He is an old wolf with fur that is almost white." I His NEWS OF RECORD Instrumenta Filed for Record for the Week Ending January 31, 1921. Warranty Deeds P. M.and Mary A. Williams to M. R.
