Kansas City Star: The assimilation of
the heterogeneous population of Hawaii
Is task which the United States should
not assume without the best of reasons
but as beteewn this alternative and the
occupation of the islands by Japan or
any other monarchical power the choice
is obvious. and IL is a fair presumption
that the government at Washington is
acting under this spur.

Cyclers and engineers alike are of the
opinion that just so fast as the iocomotly e

trial, as the suction of air will draw him

frightful rate of speed which Smith hopes
to attain, if anything should happen to

He says the public interest in cricket

describes as modern Eden.

rived at the conclusion that unless some
thing out OF the ordinary course OF affairs
is accom- plished to check the rapid destruc-
ton of game and fish in their imme-
date vicinity it will not be many years
hence when they will be compelled to put
away their fishing rods and shooting inc-
plements, as deer, quail and trout will be
40 longer within the possibility OF cap
ture.
Mendocino County has been noted for
years as the banner county Of his State
that is so far as its,game and fish are con-
cerned. Deer and quail have been aston
ishingly plentiful until of recent years
when the market hunters, who were drlv-
en- from other counties which suffered ow-
ing to the inroads made by them upon the
game, settled in Mendocino County and
commenced the work of determination.
Point Arena is a most favorable poin for
the sportsmen and the angler, and as
game and fish are still in evidence within
few hours journey from the seaport
town. all that is now required 10 uphold
the good name of this sportman's rem
devious is rigid enforcement of the game
and fish laws.
With this object in view a sportsman's
club was organized recently at Point
Arena and according 10 latest Intelligence
the members of the club are determined
to teach those who will persist in trans
crossing the laws a lesson or lessons that
will not soon be forgotten.
1t is to be hoped that the Judge or JUS
tice who may be called upon TO pass iudg-
ment on the offenders will not deal leni-
emily with the law breakers, but, on the
contrary, punish them In manner that
will cause others to put on their thinking

The National game is now being well
patronized in this City, and doubtless it
will grow into considerable prominence
provided that the players will continue to
'put up good ball."
In wheeling circles the most interesting

tomorrow.
The patrons of the grand old sport of

argument that we kept all the money at
home and that we did not send IS per cent
of it to Boston TO help pay large salaries
10 the secretary and expenses of racing
board and other officials of the league as
formerly. My prospective applicant sur
prised me by saying: wv ell, what's the
difference whe her yon pay salaries here
or there; the money goes just the same,
which gave me splendid opportunity TO
correct his false impression, and l think
it is worth repeating here. None OF the
officers or committeeman of the Califor-
MIA Associated Cycling Clubs receive one
cent of recon peuse for their labors.

Supervisors of some of the counties in this
State have acted wisely in cutting of a

Owing to the great number OF hunters
who camp out during the summer

principal feature of sport enjoyed, and
the destruction of large game is in conse-

many people who enlist in the pastine OF
