Compiled by Joe Elder 100 years ago Dec. 19, 1912 The Big Game of the West After many years of strife to preserve the big game in this state we are slowly drifting toward the utter extinction of the same. It may be well to drag the preservation out as far as possible, to prolong the hunting. But what is the use of all the talk about closing the season on this or that or feeding the elks. We have long been a supporter of the protection to game, but we have now reached a point where we have drawn new conclusions. Civilization and cultivation,...

And the French toast casserole was super delicious. The coffee kids continue to keep the coffee pot brewing each morning. Those enjoying their coffee and conversation were...
