ty with the United States was superior
to the laws of the State of Wyoming,
and they kept on hunting and slaughter
ing game as had been the custom from
time immemorial. The authorities OF
Wyoming caused the arrest of num-
Der of the redskins. but these escaped.
More arrests followed, and when these
prisoners attempted to escape, they
were shot. This incensed the Ban
nocks, and the imaginative correspond

bellion, which eliminated in their TAX

better defend themselves against the

Incidence of samoans.

1t seems that the Samoans have de
veloped a passion for the possession of
large rowing boats built in European
fashion. Instead of cultivating their
land, they now waste their time trav-
cling about in these vessels from viii
lage to village, and from island to ISL
and, "discussing politics." Some of
these boats pull as many as thirty oars.
and are between seventy and eighty
feet long, while one is being built On
the island of Savali to measure 1OC
feet in length. Our consul mentions the
case of a village owning two or three
of these boats, for which they have
doubtless paid dearly, and where most
of the young men are also owners of
a weedy pony Or equally useless horse.
The land on which their village stands
is mortgaged, and is advertised for
sale. Yet instead of making any at
tempt to raise money to pay off the
trifing sum required. they have for
the last four months been playing, al
most weekly. cricket matches with
thirty or forty players side, for stakes
consisting Of pigs and kegs of salt beef,

amount of money expended on cricket
in this village since February would
have paid off, not only the interest,

immense sums Invested IN These
Means of Urban Transported ton.
The great importance of the street
railway interests of this country is
shown in a striking manner by some of
the statistics While incomplete, the
figures are believed to be accurate with
in per cent and are surprising in many
respects. New York has the greatest
amount of track, 1888 miles, or more
than in all New England. Pennsylva-
MIA comes next, with I, 400 miles; then
Ohio with LOTT miles, Massachusetts
with 900 miles and Illinois with 951
miles. The order Of States arranged
with regard to the number Of cars is:
New York, 9,115; Illinois, 5,S15; Penn
sylvania, 4,O21; Massachusetts, 1896;
and Ohio, 3.254. But this order is en-
tirely changed when the number, OF cars
per mile of track is taken into consider !
atiOn for on this basis of arrangement
the District of Columbia heads the list
with GAO, followed by Illinois with G.12,
New York with SIC, Missouri with 4.6+
and Massachusetts with 4.O2. The great
est capitalization per mile of track is
Sill, 200, in New York. 1t is $S1, 700 in
Pennsylvania, $73, 400 in Rhode Island,
500, 600 in Illinois and SOS, 100 in Louis
Jana. The funded debt per mile of track
is largest in New York, where it is $685.
700, and other high figures are ST., 400
in Rhode Island, SCI 800 in New Jersey,
$5S,S0O in Illinois and $51 800 in both
Missouri and Maryland. The total cap
ital liabilities per mile of track are
$2O7- 100 in New York, $146,SOO in
Rhode Island, $129,4OO in New Jersey,
$12S, 800 in Illinois, $116,7 in Missouri
and $113, 400 in Louisiana. The banner
States in the matter Of capitalization
are Mississippi, Florida, South Dakota
and New Hampshire, whose combined
capital stock and funded debt amount
to less than $4,000 per mile of track,
while enormously valuable metropoli-
tan properties in New York naturally
give that State it's leading position

There appear to have been original
~ two geographically distinct bands
or divisions Of the Bannocks, and t.
this fact, which has not been under
stood generally, is due much Of tn.
confusion that has existed regarding
them. The main home of the Bannocks
appears to have been IN Southeastern
Idaho, whence they ranged into West
ern Wyoming. The. country actually
claimed by the chief of the Southern
bands in treaty lay between the homes
of the Wihinasht Shoshoni of Western
Idaho and the Washaki Shoshoni of
Western Wyoming. They were found
in this region in 1859 and then claimed
to have always lived there. These are
the only Bannocks now known. Inc

Terrapin Farming.

A deed of Cornfield Harbor, one of
the best known estates Of Southern
Maryland, owned by Col. S. I. Wales,
from Mrs. NJ e. Dawson to N. s. Ac-
kerry, of Long Island, has been filed for
record in the office of the Clerk of Land
Records Of st. Mary's County. This
property consists of about forty acres
of upland and seven acres Of oyster
creeks The property is situated about
a mile and half from Point Lookout.
and has a frontage Of about three and
a half miles on the Potomac River. In
one of the creeks, especially, known as
Potters creek, it is said, as fine oysters
as any in the world can be grown. Mr..
Ackerly has taken great interest in
the artificial cultivation of oysters He
has been quietly experimenting with
view to determining the value of these
oyster lands, if properly cultivated.
On the property is large fresh-water
pond, which has been connected with
the creek by canal, SO that the pond
may be made salt, for the cultivation
of diamond back terrapin, which, when
complete, good judges think will be
about the best and largest of its kind
in the country American.
