Don't Mind the Expense.

The more attention we give to tn
subject the more are we inclined to TIC
opinion that the game law in this state
as it is now interpreted and enforced
a complete farce-a dead letter-and Lla
heavy expense connected with it a need
less waste of public money. The lay
is weak and Inconsistent. and cOnSa
quenlly ineffective. 1t does not conf
mand either the respect or approval 4
One-half OF the people whom it is II
tended to benefit. That is the reasut
that Game Warden Swan, in the face y
ilagrant violations, finds it next to iLr
possible to secure a conviction under It.
Either the law should be amended so IS
to make it of some benefit in the presG'-
vation of state game, or it should he
Internationally repealed and the e.
pense stopped.-AIiddle Park Times.
Last spring, after the game wardn
lost a few cases here, that official de-
cIared by column after column in tie
Denver press how he was going to co
up the game violatorS in September IS
soon as our district court convened. lie
went on to blow about the "inferiority'
of some of our courts, and what he was
going to do would open the eyes of our
citizens. The court named met few
weeks ago. and adjourned without the
chief of the forestry, game and fish de-
partment or any of his deputies bring
ing up single case. For over a week
past Mr. Swan has been lighting the
forest fires which are devastating this
and adjoining counties-that is through
the columns of the Denver papers.
After the fires are put out by our own
people lie might put in force lat state
eXpense) to watch the forests the com
ing winter. As the law cannot bes re-
pealed till the next legislature meets,
it will be dead safe for the Times man
to gamble that the expense attached to
the game department will not stop until
it is repealed.

MILITARY EXPEDITIONS.
Difficulties Which We're Involved in
Sending the Troops TO
Manila.

1t was on the first day Of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first de-
tachmcns of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from San Francisco.
There were some expressions of i'm
patience because OF this delay, and
also because more troops were not
sent. But those who critiCisc the gov
crnmcnt ON this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
a large military expedition such Il
distance.
From San Francisco TO Manila is
about 1000 miles The voyage, under
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks. Ships had to be chartered and
made ready in haste, to convey not
the troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery us well a rifles. horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding,
hospital stores and miscellaneous
equipments, together with ratiuns for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age ard for some time after.
It was necessary also 10 carry out
large quantities OF ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dcwey's squad
ron, for ships carrying on operations
TcoO miles from their base OF supplies
need mauy things.
Toscc"7r the ships and prepare them
for such % voyage, and to accumulate
and get on board Of them al the need
ed supplies in little more than three
weeks, was really 4 remarkable

ttachcr looked over his spectaclos and
mid:
Yes, you are another one. / wish

boys ever go there you will ind it OUT

a well known druggist of Geneva, Ala,
in letter inquiring the price of dozen

for use in his own family but supply it
to his neighbors. The reason some peo-
pie get along without it, is because they
do not know its value, and what a vast

recognized as necessity, for it is the

TERMINUS OF THE PANAMA CANAL
Consular Clerk Murphy writes from
Colon to report the completion of the
La Boca dock, the Pacific terminus of
the Panama canal. The real import.
ance of the work at La BocA, says Mr..
Murphy, remains to be demonstrated
The tide fuctuation at Panama amounts
TO over % feet, and at the lowest ebb
the bottom of the sea is exposed for a
mile or more from the shore. AS TO
whether or not vessels will venture to
Use the La Boca dock time alone will
prove. He continues:
~ have heard the opinion expresst d
that the dock will prove to be COM
pie success. On the other hand,
nave heard it even more confidently
stated that this is only another example
of the waste which has characteriZ d
the management OF this apparently
simple undertaking To one travelling
across the isthmus it appears that there
can be no obstacle to the completion of
the canal which money, hones ly used,
engineering skill and common sense
cannot easily overcome. The land is
mostly level, the highest point being
hltle over 800 feet above the sea.
The distance is only about 45 miles.
The freshets of the River Chagres ap-
pear to be the only difficulty, and it ap-
pears that provision for the storage or
escape of such water can be made.
"The work, if it were in American
hands and under American control,
could, l believe, be completed in few
years at moderate cost. About one
half of the work-14 miles at this end
aud six miles at the other-has been
completed or partially completed,
though the freshets of the Chsgres
river have caused great damage dur
ing years of neglect"
