A WASHINGTON real estate agent
said, speaking about John Sher.
man and how he acquired some of
his wealth: cit may be only coin
cidence, but it reminded me of a
former transaction of the willy
Sherman when I saw that Just
about the time it became certain
that he was to be the next Secre-
tary Of State he took out a permit
for the erection Of block of dwell
ing houses in East Washington.
When he became Secretary of the
Treasury under Hayes he built a
block of houses in an undesirable
section Of East Washington and
they were all sold to employees of
the Treasury. [ cannot say, of
course, that Mr. Sherman made
those Treasur, employees buy un-
desirable houses at big price.
but you can imagine how it worked
when the real estate agent who
handled the property approached
treasury employee with PROPOSE
ton to buy one Of these houses,
which everybody knew belonged
to the Secretary Of the Treasury,
and gave him e 'gentle hint to the
effect that the Secretary would not
he likely to discharge a clerk who
was buying one Of his houses. l
shall keep my eye Oh those houses
MI Sherman is now having built.
L have curiosity to know whether
any of them will be bought by
state department employees

TNIFOR.I GAME LAUS.

!: The National Game, Bird and
Fish Protective ASSOCIATION will
hold It's third annual meeting at
Kalamazoo, Mich, Feb. 10. Every
state should be represented and
North Dakota particularly.
= There is n strong movement for
uniform fs!: and game laws
throughout the United States. The
plan proposed is TO divide the
country into four great sections
and endeavor to work for uniform
game laws to apply to each. Sports
men are rapidly realizing that
without united action and a large
amount Of work done our game
and game birds will be a thing of
the past.
While North Dakota may be
among the last to suffer, especially
in her wild fowl, yet with loss Of
game elsewhere this region will
soon be overturned as is already
becoming the case. Among the
topics to be discussed at the Michi-
gan meeting are:
A uniform license law the best thing
Tor game protection. as well az for the
farmers in general.
The best mcthod for procuring good
game and fish Ia Ms. and the best method
for enforcing the same.
Has the time come when the sale OF all
game should be prohibited throughout
the United States: how can it best be
accomplished?
What can be said or done to the ladies
OF America to prevent the inhuman prac-
tice of decorating their heads with the
dead bodies of our song birds?
