March THE OGDEN POST Gophers Are Killed Rabbits Hurt Trees; Iiountiful Lions Club At Arizona Airport Should be Poisoned Favors Prison Site in the finest municipal airporu South Davis County An everlasting appetite with four onOnetheof southern They Have Gone to Seek a "Dream Island i4 At the regular business meeting of tho Iiountiful Lions club Monday, February lb, a motion was passed favoring the removal of the state irison to a site on the Burnham road n the extreme southwest corner of Davis county. The site, the eastern Miundary of which is two and a half miles southwest of the South Bountiful church and runs west to the Jorbound dan river, the Salt Lake-Davthe favored one is the by ary line, board. prison The club favors selling to Salt Lake county only the land actually occupied by the penitentiary, which would be a tract of approximately 500 acres a mile east of the Jordan river. Such a surrender of land to Salt Lake county would involve about 910,000 in assessed values and would thereby diminish the county tax receipts of an average of less than 200 annuallis y- The matter had come before the its two previous meetings, but both times action was deferred for further investigation. Opposition argument was based bn a fictitious fear that the transfer would involve the transfer of the racking plant and stockyard to Salt I.ake county. That is unnecessary since the people of Da vis county have the legal authority to determine just what territory wiill be ceded away. Further opposition was based on the supposed odium attached to such an institution established in our vicinity. The proposed site, although close, is peculiarly isolated from residents and highway of Davis county. Between the lower road in South Bountiful and the Burnham road there is a full mile of low pasture lands where neither homes, hay stacks, or any kind of structures are located, and seldom visited by anyone The Burnham other than cowboys. road which leads to no place and which is traveled solely by those half dozen families who reside on it, is admirably adapted for such in institution. Because of such well defined detachment for us there can be little offense from its distant sight. Escaped convicts do not linger at the gates of the institution from which they break. The most authoritative information we have gives approximately a million dollars as the cost of the new penitentiary. If this sum were expended in the county, it is obvious to everybody that thousands of dollars would gain circulation into the county and many new homes would spring up in Bountiful and vicinity, involving much lubor, materials, and marketing for local products. Visitors, officers, and supplies coming and going from such an institution populated by half a thousand inmates would set up considerable traffic through Bountiful and Woods Cross and the other towms of the county. All this traffic, year in and year out, would leave with us club in U. F.

The rabbit's healthy appetite is one of its weaknesses as well, for in winter when much of its food is covered with snow, the jack rabbit will eat alfalfa hay or rye heads poisoned according to methods worked out by the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. In community poisoning operations great quantities of this bait are mixed at central points and distributed to farmers, wno take responsibility for spreading the poisoned food in localities where the jacks" congregate. it meat has not been con sidered good for much except as poultry feed. Recently, however, a demand has grown for rabbit pelts, which are used in the manufacture of felt hats. Some men have become ex pert and can skin about 200 rabbita a day. The skins sell on the average for about 75 cents a pound or 10 cents each, so that when the supply is ample as the result of a drive or of poisoning operations, a man can make good wages at the game. Jack-rabb- annually thousands of dollars in trade. Ihis item is so fruitful that no one can estimate its extent. No consideration of this subject can omit the criminal. The most advanced methods provide for the separation of hardened criminals from those young first offenders who are cast behind bars for the first time. Throwing them together, as goes on now in our prison, often makes professional crooks of these young men. The hereditary criminal fixed by fate to a criminal life could lead a normal life in such an institution permanently isolated from society, producing his own food and clothing. In a sense, a prison farm in that territory would be an experiment since it would have ample money, labor, and time to intensely cultivate that type of soil, thousands of acres of which fringe the lake bottoms about the county. These lands will necessarily come under cultivation as Salt take expands and demands more food products. This will raise values, hence Increased assessed valuation. If one can dismiss from his mind the first impulsive offensive of a pen itentiary and make a clear analysis of the material benefits derived from such a large expenditure of state money here, the Burnham road site has a strong appeal to the people of Davis county.
