pie seek to restrain the murder Ous hand of the hunter, from no humanitarian motives but to save the game from extermination which would kill the sport.
 We need here a stringent re- straint upon the Wasteful killing of deer and salmon. They con- stitute very important element from an industrial view, and as resources should be properly husbanded. Every year when the snow line creeps to tide water the deer come down to the shore. They come in herds to
 feed upon the salt kelp. The na- tive behind rock pumps lead into them, strips the belts and leaves the carcasses to rot un- less near enough to a settlement to sell them for small money. The skins when dried and ac- cummulated bring from 10 to 40 cents piece.
 It is true the waters of Alaska teem with salmon. It is a wonder it is so, when we study the fish. The mother, full of spawn, struggles up the rivers to their very head and de posits her eggs. From the in stant they are dropped they are attacked. She fights to protect them in a feeble way and then floats down to die. As the spawn develope and go down through swarms of hungry fish it seems incredible how many of them escape to the sea. Here the fisher finds him. Thousands of toOthsome fish go into the cur rents of commerce. The wastes in this transformation are com paratively small. But there is another industry which has aris- en upon the fad of some gour- mand who discovered the pecul- far excellence of the salmOn's belly. Now to satisfy this fad, thousands of salmon are netted, their bellies cut out, and the car casses left for the vultures to fatten on. We need a law to stop this industry. The sort of restrictive legislation needed for Alaska, is not so much against bringing in intoXicants as it is to stop greedy avarice from de- stroying utterly the natural wealth of the country. The seals are gone. The salmon, the deer, the elk, the moose, and | the mountain sheep, like the butfa- To which less than 90 years ago covered a thousand hills, will all go Another half century and our children children will look upon the relics of these eXtin- guished species at the museums and view the pictures of them in their physical geographies with no realization of the fact that | millions upon millions of Gods | harmless creatures about which !. have clustered associations full | of the romance of the forest and | the plain have been utterly blot ted out and left not trace be- i hind. In the great economy of the universe how stands the ac- count with our imperdible father who notes the sparrow fall and who has said thou shalt not kill. |

German Kaiser still a matter of
some doubt, the leading article
presented in The Cosmopolitan

as sThe Evolution Of an Emperor

They shave Them.

Aberdeen News.
Aberdeen men who are not
smooth faced are warned to
keep away from Big Stone side
Of the lake Frank Brown and
Fred Macarthur abandoned their
mustacheS some time ago.
Spencer Nerregang followed
suit, and now the three are de
termined that every man who
ventures there from Aberdeen
shall do the same Ira Barnes
who hadn shaved off his mus
tache for years and years, was
the first victim. They took him
by main force and haggled it off
Barnes looked SO frightfully
frightful that he determined on
revenge. SO he enticed w. G..
Bickelhaupt within the barbar-
Gus clan and he too fell victim
to their hunger for more victims.
He struggled manfully against
the odds but was finally over
powered and his fine mustache
followed the others that had
been criiced. Then came ID.
G.. Gallett, and he too was given
a smooth face in spite of strug
les and kicks. Robert Moody was
comparatively docile and not
very hard to handle. Aberdeen
men are getting scarce SO they
determined to go outside the
contingent from here and caught
S. r. Gold. He hadn't shaved
for thirty years, but he wears a
smooth face that is, it is
smooth except for the razor
marks left on it. Cod was the
last martyr up to last night.
It had been planned that w. G.
Finch and M. H. Kelly should be
kidnapped and made to suffer the
loss Of their facial adornment
this morning, but they heard Of
the plot and made their escape
from the lake, reaching home
this morning The effect upon
every man trapped is to make
him one of the most ferocious
of the gang, which is now SC
large that no man can escape
them once they set their eyes
on him.

Notice.

Mr.. f. Hiel, who IS employed
IN the bakery and restaurant
here, states that several parties
in Big Stone City through ma
lice or for interested motives
on their part have been circula-
ting a story that he is a married
man with several children. He
desires to state that these un-
true stories are started and set
afloat to injure him, and he here
by warns the parties who are
circulating them and all others
who shall do so, that he purposes
prosecuting them to the full ex-
tent of the law.

Among the various candidates
for county Offices this year will
be the name Of a lady as a candl
date for county superintendent
of schools. For this Office the
name of Miss Helen G. Carrick
has been brought out by her
friends. Miss Carrict was
formerly a teacher in the city
schools and is now engaged in
the Yankton schools, and has an
excellent record as a teacher
She is thoroughly qualified for
the position and her greatest op
position will probably come from
the common prejudice against
electing woman as county sup
erintepdent, and the fact that
her principal competitor will be
Prof. Ramer, of the Big Stone
City schools, who is widely known
as al educator of ability, and
whose interests will be urged by
Big Stone republicans as only 4
fair recognition Of that portion
Of the county.
