WOOD BUFFALO m THE NORTH.
A Few OF Those Great Animals Still L
list in British Columbia.

A Few OF Those Great Animals Still Ex-
list in British Columbia.
There still remain some of the wood buff
falo. This is an animal larger than the
American bison of the plains They are
larger, coarser haired and straighter horned
mention this popularity OF difference in the
horns because it is believed that the shape
and the broken and crooked nature Of the
horns of the prairie buffalo has been caused
by his habit Of digging into the gravel,
whereas in the more northern species they
had to contend with other conditions where
straight horns would be of mors use, as, for
instance, they use them there for clearing
aside from their pathway the brush and lux
uriant underground.
These animals would weigh at least 150
pounds more than the buffaloof the Saskat-
chewan plains. In the northern regions the
vetches and grasses are so highland the snow
fall not being unduly heavy, they have not
had to paw and break the crusted snow, as
was the habit of the buffalo, and that may
account for their superior size. In the
country where these are found horses cannot
be used in pursuit and they are stalked In the
same manner that the moose and the other
large animals are. 1t Is difficult to form an
accurate estimate of the number Of these
animals that may yet be left. But perhaps
investigation yet may show that five or six
hundred may yet remain In scattered bands
Owing to the fact that the horse cannot be
used in pursuit, it is more difficult for the
Indians to hunt them, and indeed to find
them. than it was in the old days of hunting
upon the plains.
So rank is the underground of this rich
country and so difficult is it for the Indians
to get at these animals that, perhaps, just
now any attempt on the part of the govern
ment to afford protection to them would be
useless. If, however, some regulation which
would prevent white sportsrnen from deliber-
ately coming into the country to hunt these
animals for mere pleasure it might result to
advantage. AT present it would be vexatious
to the Indians and of no great use, as the
animal has become In its habits so much like
the moose that he is able in great measure
to protect himself.-Montreal Gazette.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
a New Stop Under the liquor Law Of
Kansas.

a New Stop Under the liquor Law Of
Kansas.
WICHITA, KAN, April 2l.-A new step
under the liquor law has been taken
which is said to be the first instance OF
the kind on record. Attorney. General
Hallowell has filed petition to foreclose
lien of $4,000 on the property of Rosa
Weiner, 8 large brick block on the most
prominent street of the city. The de-
PENDENT had, 1t Is claimed, knowingly
rented her property to one Rode for the
purpose OF running what is known as a
liquor joint. This man on Janusry IL
was convicted Of violation Of the liquor
law, sent to the county j.il for over two
years, and fined $4,000 snd cost Of
suit. The importance Of the suit
becomes apparent when 1t is remembered
that in manY business blocks are found
these joints run by men irresponsible and
as willing to be paid for staying in jail
as for keeping bar. All tioes and costs
against him which have thus accumulated
and now amount to large sums will De
Charged to the owner and Will no doubt
be enforced by execution if the cess is
decided in favor Of the state.

Domestic Producers Have Determined to
Keep Tho Trade at Hons.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 2l.-There was
an important meeting Of the Lake Super
ior iron ore producers with Pit'sburg
manufacturers here to-day. The visit OF
the ore people WAS for the purpose OF
demonstrating to Pittsburg manufactur-
ers that they can place ore here much
cheaper than 1t can be imported. The
rate at which foreign ore has been COM
ing into this country alarmed the domes-
tic producers, and they have determined
to keep the trade at home. A representative
of the big ore concern said: "We want
to show ore consumers that we can make
IL an object to them to use American ore.
To do this we will have to sell cheaper
than we did last yesr, bat that we can do.
4 think we will keep the trade here"

LITTLE Rock, ARK, April 21.-Ths
suit by the Bell Telephone Company to
enjoin the exchange operation of the
Southern Telephone Company at Little
Rock, has been on trial here all week be-
fore United States Circuit Court Judge
Brewer. He delivered long and very
able oral opinioa this morning, granting
the Injunction on the ground that the
recent decision Of the Supreme court Of
the United States WAS conclusive on such
motion. He decided that the make and
break theory advanced by the defendants
was not untenable, and did not relieve
them from Infringement, and that the
fact that an Injunction was not asked for
until the Supreme courts decision did not
constitute undue delay in the complain
ants. Counsel for the Bell Telephone
Company to-day filed bill sgainst the
Bay Telephone Company for infringement
Of patent.
