RUTHLESS SLAUGHTER.
Fish ana Fur-Bearing Animals Being
ExterminRted In Al.ska.

Fish ana Fur-Bsaring Animals Bein z
Extsrmtnated in Alaska.
DENVER, Sept. 20.-Joseph Murray,
fish commissioner for Alaska, who has
just returned from trip to that
country in company with Assistant Sec
retary Hamlin OF the treasury depart
ment, said in an interview today:
"Unless some steps are taken there
will shortly be no fur. bearing animals
in Alaska. The aiventurers who flock
in thexe are rapidly exterminating the
animals, and the companies who are
canning salmon are no better. The laws
need enforcement and the government
should have plenty of agents there to
see that they are enforced. Fox skins
range in value from $40 to 5000. A
party goes on an island with supply
Of strychnine. Bait is poisoned and the
foxes eat it. They are skinned and a
stake is made. The carcasses are eaten
by crows and the birds die. Foxes that
missed the poisoned bait eat the poi-
soned birds, and in short time the re
is not fox on the island.
"The seal fisheries are fast playing
out. Five years ago there was no
trouble in getting 100000 skins. This
year, though allowed to take 10000
skins, the company only succeeded in
getting about 10000.
"The salmon fishers spread their nets
at the mouths of the river up which the
fieh endeavor to 60 in order to spawn.
Every one is taken, and az result there
are no Young fish. Unless something is
done soon, Alaska. instead of being a
source OF revenue to the government,
will be unable to support its native pop

GALEsBuRG. ILL.,, Sept. 2O.-But one
record was broken today and that was
by Salisbury's wonderful 2-year>old
PAGER. Directly. who sent the 2-yesr-old
record from 200 to 2:O734. and at the
same time reduced his own record 214
seconds.
Twenty thousand people witnessed d
The event. Ii was the second special
svent of the afternoon. following Robert
J.'s failure to reduce his record, The
track was fast and the weather superb.
DIREcTIY's PERFORMANCE.
Directly got away ON the first score,
and Mcdowell drove him. He had
the pole. while just behind him was q
thoroughbred running mate. The pace
was remarkable one, showing steady
improvement. The fret quarter was
done in 80, the half in :041s. the third
in :36 and the mile in 2:0734. When
Williams made the announcement, there
were loud cries for Mcdowell. the
famous driver, who was obliged to 60 up
in the grand stand and acknowledge the
ovation.
ROBERT j. IS EFFORT.
1t was $40 O'Clock when Robert J..
was sent off on second scoring. In a
war ming heat he had made the circuit
in 2:l1, and many thought he would
pace great mile even if he failed to
beat his own record. Ed Geers was the
driver. In the judges stand was John
II. Leash OF Goshen, Ind, the owner of
bo A H.
Ter drove the running mate. Robert j.
made the first quarter in 80 and expec
tstion ran high. The hall was made in
1:O01a, but in the third quarter the
great stallion slowed up, making the
pole in :3134. The mile was covered
in 2:O2M. Driver Gsers assigned the
reasons for the failure of the PAGER,
namely, that the track was trifle toe
hard for Robert J.'s feet, and that hs
was fearful of the crowd tha, filled tn,
entire track except few feet from the
pole.
