Webster's Opinion,

In the year 1910 the locomotive
was a small, weak machine that was
employed to drag few coach-like
cars at speed OF about ten miles
an hour. Then the directors and
stockholders of railroads constituted
the meekest class OF citizens, very diff
iferent from the dictatorial, influential
class OF the present.
Daniel Webster, in describing the
American railroads of that time, said,
"They are made of two strineers Of
scantling, notched into ties that often
get loose in the ground. Upon the
Istringers two straps of iron, the width
and thickness OF wagon-tires are nail
ed.
"These straps OF iron frequently get
detached at the ends, which turns up
like snakes's heads, and pierce the
floors of the cars" Such an accident
actually happened to a car between
Elizabeth and New York.
"Tben," said Webster, "the wheels
slip on the iron straps, in winter es-
ipecially, so much that no dependence
can be placed upon the time OF the ar
rival, and many people think it is not
certain that railroads will be sue

HUNTED ron HIS COAT.

The Intelligent Sea Otter Fast Dis-
appearlng-Talk OF \ Reservation.
A marine animal OF greater value
than the fur seal is being rapidly ex-
terminated in Boring sea and in the
waters along the northwest coast,
owing to a long-continued neglect by
the treasury department at Washing
ton to enforce existing laws for its
protection. As a result, the Pitts
burg Dispatch says, this government
is likely to have to undertake tho
support OF several hundred natives
ON the western islands OF the Aleutian
chain who have hitherto depended on
the chase of the sea otter for their
living. The final destruction OF this
interesting beast signifies the reduction
of the population in that region to
absolute savagery and even to
starvation. Already the formerly
prosperous inhabitants OF certain
villages have been brought to such
extremities as to be obliged to subsist
on seaweed. The fur of the sea otter
is the most beautiful and most costly
of all peltries. IL has as fixed n
value in the market to-day as any OF
the precious tails, a'prime skin being
worth $3.50, while an exceptionally
good one will sometimes fetch as much
as $3.50. From the earliest times it
has commanded as high a price as to-
day. The Japanese priced it above
all other materials for garments as
lo,>o oo< N. nOn won re hafora tho n lie
covery of America by Columbus. and
mighty tycoons clothed themselves
with its shimmering velvet.
Geographical discovery in the north
ern Pacific was originally due in %
great measure to the incentive offered
by the demand for the coat OF this
prosecuted creature. When the Rus
SLAMS first opened up the Aleutian
islands and the Hudson bay traders
secured the coasts OF Puget sound and
Oregon they found the natives COM
Imonly wearing sea otter cloaks, with
(which they parted for triae, not
Ivaluing them equally with tho hair
seal or the sea lion, the flesh and skins
,of the latter being more palatable and
,serviceable. The offers OF the traders
made hunting for sea otter brisk and
more than 10000 persons were
ANNUALLY engaged in pursuit of the
animal from TAI to 1S45, when
their numbers were 80 far reduced as
ito render the industry on such scale
mo longer remunerative. Some notion
may be got OF their original plentiful
ness from the fact that in the year
1904 single vessel carried to Russia
15, 900 skins, worth then AZ now at
least 81, 100000. The work OF ex.
termination was carried on as q
ifrightful rate. During the year after
the discovery of the Pribylov islands,
which are the breeding ground OF the
fur seals, two sailors killed there 5000
sea offers. The next year they
secured 1000. Six years later not a
single sea otter reappeared, and none
has been seen there since.
