A Clam Famine Threatened.

IT appears from reports back East
that the clam IS in danger of eX-
tinction. This will be sad enough
news to many member of the Mon
tana legislature to whom steamed clans
at midnight were the principal solace Of
life in Helena during the last two
months. According to the New Haven
Register, those whose Investigations
enable them to speak with authority say
that the placid and long-suffering clam
will not abide much longer in his I'M
foreground retreat and watch through
his observation tube the endless pro-
cession of the stars. 1t is said to be
the fault of man alone that extinction
threatens to overtake this innocent and
helpless mollusk. Its other natural
enemies it can hold its own against,
but the inroads of the former on the
territory occupied by the clam have
been in recent years so persistent and
relentless that In many places diggers
have about as good fortune as if they
had gone to the Klondl1e for CLANS
1t is DR.. George w. Field of the ex-
pertinent station at Point Judith. Conn.,,
who is directing public attention to the
passing of the clam, and in his expert
opinion the time has come to cultivate
clans with scientific system instead of
permitting them to live in the precari-
Gus and haphazard manner of former
days. A plan has been devised which
certainly appears feasible for the pro-
longation among us of so useful though
quiet a life as that of the clam. All the
grounds where clans naturally flour
ish, DR.. Field says, should be surveyed
and leased, and each farm" should be
subdivided so that no individual plot
may be dug over oftener than once in
three or four years. This, with care
that no poisonous matters are thrown
into the water, would probably be
enough to keep up the supply, but in
case of need young CLAIMS can be reared,
distributed and protected much more
easily and cheaply than seed oysters
The result, after a few years, would be
an annual yield of 500 bushels of clans
per acre, a quantity which the natural
beds have not produced for many de-
cades. Let us hope for the salvation of
the clam.

State Control of Saloons.

wv psns "a y-'n liquor system is
spreading. South Dakota IS
about to try it--on the same general
lines as the system now in force in
south Carolina. The state will pur-
chase the liquor and sell it in wholesale
quantities to local dispensaries, or sa-
looms, licensed to sell at retail under
! certain restrictions. The profits of the
first sale so to the state and counties
according to fixed proportion. South
Dakota will be the third state in which
the dispensary liquor system has been
established. South Carolina was the
first state to adopt it and it has been
in force there about eight years. The
exact results are not easy to obtain as
the reports made quarterly do not make
it clear how much profit the state is
realizing from the business. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the system has been
made to pay a return. The Phladel-
phia Press is of the opinion that the
conditions in South Carolina have not
been favorable to a fair trial of the
system. The establishment of the dis
pensary was favorite scheme of SEN
ator Tillman when he was governor
and 1t was consequently antagonized
for political reasons by the faction in
the democratic party opposed to Mr..
Ililman. But it has survived this OPP
position and appears to be well estab-
lished, although decisions of the courts
permitting private persons to bring H.
quors into the state have doubtless
weakened its force and reduced thu
profits.
other states have evidently become
impressed with the Instability and
practicability of the scheme The Ala
bama legislature at it's session lust
closed enacted law with the consent
OF the governor establishing the dispen-
sary liquor system in that state, A
number of counties were exempted from
the operations of the law and in few
other respects it differs from the South
Carolina law. There. will be less oppo-
sition to it, however. and the results
Will furnish fairer test of the merits
OF the system. North Carolina is also
discussing the propriety of adopting.
the same method of treating the liquor
system in that state, while it's adoption
IN South Dakota is virtually assured.
A few years ago bill was framed and
presented in the Massachusetts legis-
iature which, with a few modificatio
was intended to establish the dispen-
sary liquor system there. The bill fail
ed, however, although it was strongly
supported. In other state legislatures
similar efforts have been made but
they have come to nothing so far.
