Take for Buffalo Bill who probably killed more buffalo on the plains than any oth r one man. At the time of this slaughter when the hunters left the carcasses of the killed buffalo on the plains to rot and took only their hides, the hero of the day was rated by the number of these beautiful animals he had killed, hence the name fo Buffalo Bill for Cody. No one remembers that Buffalo Bill ever protested against the wanton killing of buffalo, and yet he was considered a great man and by man a real sportsman. As a rule the people have not busisd themselves much with their game and the result is that a few who could make money out of it have had all the say and they are the ones who are blamed for exterminating it. Of late our state fish and game commissions throughout the union have to save some of this fish and game for the future by domestic propagation, but it has its draw backs, and would not have to be resoited to if we had the proper laws for protection. In Europe the poor cannot hunt or fish as a rule. The lands are an owned and the game is restricted to selected localities where it is killed by the rich for amusement. We are coming to the same in America very fast, and it will not be long before tne poar man here will be unable to hunt or Tli -w M. m. in-stai- )LDE ill ,ji s' rocr,' roccJ ah, i! k ion e !

One of the government officials even suggested that $10 per head be charged for the killing. This meant that none of the poor would get in on the game. A rich would pay $100 to kill a nice Ef-foi- ts people of the city to have the Jordan river cleaned from all contaminating influences in order that the poor might go there to do their fishing as they did in the days of yesterday. Willys-Overlan- Sni., - the donors of the funds. Nevada receives about $7 from the federal government for every dollar made available by the state or counties with the result that the associations $50,000 commanded about $350,000 from the federal government for highway improvement. The government road bureau, however, does not like to have its aid met from sources other than public revenue. d ASPHALT PAVEMENT MUCH MORE POPULAR IN CITIES. More and moie asphalt pavements are being laid where traffic is heaviest every year. With the experience of New York, where Filth Avenue, said to be the busie.t street in the world, as far as traffic is concerned, to guide them, cities all over the coun-- , try are increasing streets. Willys-Overlan- pany have been less than 40 per cent expended in aiding improvement work in Nevada. No Aid for Nevada. In view of the policy of the United States government as expressed recently in a speech before the American association of State Highway officials in New Orleans by Thomas H. bureau of public MacDonald, chief-o- f roads of the department of agriculture, the board determined not to offer any further sums from its trust funds to the state of Nevada for improvement.

Leaders of American highway development gathered at the Detroit Athletic club the past week to attend the tenth annual meeting of the board of directors of the Lincoln Highway association. Perhaps the most important development was the boards lack of action to further extend the time on western road construction conti acts involving association funds. The association is now administering a fund of $100,000 for the General Motors Corporation and $50,000 for the company, both providing for aiding the western states to complete the Lincoln highway. It previously paid Utah, to aid Lincoln way construction on the desert, $100,-00contributed by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company and $25,000 by Carl G. Fisher. The money paid Utah on her promise to complete the Lincoln way has all been spent.
