THE BERING SEA BILL.
Sir George Baden Powell Expresses
HIS Objections.

A representative Of the Associated Press
had an Interview yesterday at London with
Sir George Baden-Powell. who was British
commissioner in the Bering sea investiga-
ton. During the Interview Sir George said:
The Bering sea bill seems TO be drafted
with the object Of destroying and not OF
preserving the seals. 1t will not in my
opinion, in any way assist in preserving the
seals. i regard IL as inhuman to urge th0
sealers to take the female seals in pup.
The bill, in my opinion, will tend to do
stroy the seal industry ashore and at sea
Arrangements, however, could easily have
been made TO preserve the seal industry
had expert advice been taken. / am GER
tain that the Americans and Canadians are
anxious to preserve the seals. and all par
ties interested ought to combine and devise
new regulations which would be scientific
ally adequate.
But II the three governments have
agreed upon ii the bill must be passed al
though experts regard the measure as worse
than useless"

THE MARSHES RUINED.
Losses to Wisconsin Cranberry Grow
ers Have Been Enormous This
Season.
NOT ONLY THE CROP GONE
But the Marshes Themselves Have in
Some Cases Been Ruined---Peat
Burned Oft.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2S.-A special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Cranberry
Center, Wis, says: The losses Of cram
berry growers in this vicinity from fires
have been enormous. In and about
Mather, where there has been many
acres of bearing marsh, and from whose
railway station thousands of barrels
have been shipped yearly, there is al
most nothing left. The peat has burned
down to the sand in, places to the depth
of two feet. The peat formed great
beds of hot Goals which We're ever
ready to brighten up when famed by
the breeze. Whirlwinds took burning
Goals into the air and carried them over
the heads of the fire fighters and depos-
tied them 20, 80 and 40 rods away.
Many Of these tracts of land will
probably neve be used for growing
cranberries again, and as they are al
most worthless for any other purpose,
will for a time revert to the county as
useless land.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Aug. 2S.-The Rus
sian thistle pest has become SO serious
that it is destroying the lawns of the
city, taking possession of every foot Of
vacant ground and spreading from the
city, where it has found a breeding
to the country, and rapidly taking pos
session of the farming lands around. It
is only two years since it was first seen
here and there are people who up to a
month ago did not know what was
the name Of the strange weed that had
taken possession Of their lawns and
could not be driven out. Several cases
are reported Of people who used it
AS an Ornamental Shrub,
not knowing what it was. About a
month ago an agitation was begun for
its determination. The county author
tiles declared that the city, as a breed
ing place for them, was threatening the
destruction of all the farm property in
the vicinity, and at last the city has
taken hold Of the effort to eradicate
them. Three hundred men are at work
now, under direction of the street COM
m~issioners, and the cost Of removing the
weeds from each piece Of property is
charged up to the owner as a tax, under
authority Of the new law.

broken the dam which controlled the

Huge boulders were swept along like

BROWNS VALLEY, Mimi, Aug. 49,
Two men, giving the names of j. w.
Corey, alias John Hines, and William
Graham, were arrested in Harmon
township, charged by Charles Urich
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Corey pretended to be the state
boiler inspector of South Dakota and
Graham passed as his deputy. It hap
pens that that state does not require
the inspection Of boilers, but these
swindlers have examined about 800
boilers and pocketed socalled fees
amounting to about $4,000. Their
mode Of operation was to inspect the
boilers and give engineers licenses to
run threshing engines, charging in
most cases S. each, but where there
was an opportunity they would accept
$40 to SIS as a Tribe to keep still if the
engine was a little risky.
