Jack rabbits cause damage to for age and crops that amounts to several million dollars annually in some states. Control by the bounty system has not been satisfactory, although tha expense has been great In Utah and Idaho the rabbit drives and hunts in the fall and winter have helped to a very small extent in the extermination of the pests.

Thrills Provided in Sundays Air Circus By Daring Aviators Two unlooked for thrills were provided the 5,000 persons who witnessed the air circus at Washington heights last Sunday and two aviators owe ther lives to their coolness and experience. The two aviators who furnished the thrills from unusual experiences were Tommy Thompson and Art Smertz. Smertz owes his escape to the fact, that Lietitenant Russel L. Maughan, famous dawn to dusk aviator, had provided him with an army parachute, which Smertz strapped - to his back and was forced to use when his other Parachute failed to open when he was making a jump of 2,000 feet from a plane. He received a couple of sprained ribs and other slight injuries in landing. He was treated by Dr. N. Savage, the city physician. Some mechanic made a mistake and placed five gallons of water in the (fasoline tank of Thompsons plane. After the daring aviator had executed a number of tail spins, nose dives nd other stunts, his engine stopped. " managed to right his ship and volplane to the landing field. An indisclosed that water had stigation been placed in the engine. Seven planes were in Ogden for the flying circus and the funds derived were added to the mess fund of the 329th observation squadron- of the division, under the command of jut. Maughan.

This was apparent after the meeting of the Ogden shippers and milling indust ty leaders with Carl Gray, president of the Union 1acific System, and Kruuk W. Robinson, in charge of traffic, at Hotel Bigelow Friday night. At the meeting President Gray said the word of the Union Pacific had given to the San Francisco chamber of commerce for the rate and the revised grain rate of 45 cent ier hundred from Twin Falls to San Francisco, over the Wells, Nevada and would be Rogerson, Idaho, cut-ofpublished.

The first appearance of the band will be during the parade of the American Legion convention next California organization that the fate would be carried through, the railroad had an interest in Ogden's industrial development and wouldintercede favorably with the interstate commerce commission in case Ogden shippers made a plea for fourth section relief. lie added that the railroad officials considered that the rate, ' arranged through conference with the San Francisco organization, was one that should prove more satisfactory and favorable to Ogden than the one established by the interstate commerce commission. President James H. DeVine of the Ogden chamber of commerce, in stating Ogdens position regarding the proposed rate revision, said the question was one not only affecting the grain and milling industry, but also the livestock and potato shipping industry. He said the Union Pacific only gets a short haul over the cut-ofbut gets a full-lin- e rate haul when shipped by the-- ay of Ogden. He added that it was upon the basis of the established rates that the big flour mills and elevators were constructed in Ogden at a tremendous cost. Asa result of the proposed rate changes as indicated, he said, these big investments would be seriously effected. Vice President Robinson of the railroad said the position of his company could not be changed, and suggested that Ogdens one remedy would be to ask a suspension of the rates in appealing to the interstate commerce commission for fourth section relief, as protection for established industries upon rates already effective. What action Ogden will take as, its next step in fighting the discrimination of the Union Pacific has not been announced, but it was indicated after the conference that Ogden Interests will prepare to battle to save its great grain and livestock industries, and carry that fight through to a finish. That Ogden has a fight on its hands for the protection of its industries is apparent from the announced determination of the Union Pacific railroad to carry into effect the proposed rate reduction from Twin Fails, Idaho, to San Francisco. This discrimination against Ogden, if allowed to gd by unnoticed, would mean a death blow to the tremendous investment represented in the big flour mills in this city.

If it is to be a fight, then let it be a fight of discrimination against discriminashipper nid this tion, a week. If the Union lacific seems determined to deal this blow at Ogden's industries, then that railroad cannot expect to receive cooperation of Ogden's industries.
