Twelve Men Killed During the Ex-

Thousands of Americans who have been
up in the Eifiel tower will be interested to
know that they have run an alarming risk.
The elevator in which visitors to the tower
are carried from the second stop to the sum-

occupants were more or less injured. The
authorities of the exposition took every pre-
caution to conceal the accident. 1t is said

least 100000 foreigners visited Paris and

GAME
Views of a Sportsman as to the Only
Way to Secure This Efficiently.

Views of a Sportsman as to the Only
Way to Secure This E~ficiently.
Meeting an enthusiastic sportsman yes
terday he was asked what he thought of
the bill for the protection OF fish and game
now before the Legislature, which places
various terms OF protection on wild animals
now fast becoming extinct through wanton
destruction and forbids the killing OF fish
by SEEMING or with dynamite.
I'VE have enough laws for the protection
OF game and fish on the statute booknow,"
said he, ''but There is no provision for en-
forcing them. They are ample for the pur-
pose intended, as far as specifying what
shall be protected and providing penalties,
but are practically dead letters for want
of some provision for putting them in
force. The Rod and Gun Club prepared q
bill providing for this very thing. The
bill provided for the appointment OF q
warden by the commissioners OF each
whose duties shall be the enforce
ment OF the protective laws. TIE bill as
drawn by the Rod and Gun club is the
result OF the experience OF men VINO thor
oughly understand the necessities Of the
case. The warden is intended to be just
as much d county officer as the Sheriff
under the bill as at first drawn. But the
Legislature has undertaken to amend it,
and destroyed all the virtue and force in
the bill by leaving it optional with
county commissioners whether they shall
appoint one or not. So that with a county
board who are none OF them sportsmen,
it would probably result in 10 warden
being %appoint.d at all, with the view of
saving the salary OF one. To men not
sportsmen such an officer would more
than likely appear a needless expense. The
bill is valueless unless the appointment is
compulsory in all the counties of the
Territory alike. The club intends to
make an effort to have the bill restored to
it's original shape. Unless some such pro-
vision is made to protect the game and
fish of the Territory, there wont be any
left in a few years. Go down to any of the
fish markets in town and you wont find a
pound of fish hat wasn't caught by the
dynamite process. And the worst of this
is not merely the wholesale destruction OF
the fish, but it kills the spawn and the
young fish far more n~umerously. For
every full-grown fish it kills there are a
hundred times as many young fish billed
that simply float away and rot"
