To Protect our Game.

tiles of Colorado that they will CO.
operate in stopping violations of

''There have been from 1000 to
1900 men in the employ of the
Union Pacific along the lines of
that road and from 20 to 40 miles
from Colorado during the greater
part of the season. These men
have been killing deer and elk
in large numbers. There was a
report that a mountain sheep had
been killed but l do not believe
it, us the mountain sheep general

there is a law making it a penl-
Tertiary offenseto kill either noun

sured of the facts by the wardens,
but could not get at the men be-
cause they would go back across
the Wyoming line The Wyo-

the men because they were not
hurt. Finally the men became
more bold and went after the
flesh, fish and fowl of Wyoming
in a wholesale manner, just as
they had gone after ours. Now

the English and Boer Question
Handled by the Debators.

az W bhS NCbetoios
The school house was filed un-
til there was only standing room
for the late corners last Saturday
evening, the occasion being the
discussion of the resolution con-
corning the South African war.
Prof. Pagan called the meeting to
order and said the meeting would
enjoy a short program before the
debate began.
The first number on the pro-
gram was a violin solo by H. G.
Wilcox. No one who has never
enjoyed his playing a hardly
understand the pleasure with
which his rendition of "Swanee
River" was listened to.
Miss Mamie Doyle gave a
laughable recitation which de-
picted the domestic troubles of
Mrs. Ruggles, who never could
forget that she was a Merrill.
Miss Doyles recitation was fol-
lowed by one from Miss Blanche
Maxfield that graphically told of
the woes of a bashful lover who
finally got there with the aid of
his gal, Sal" Then followed au-
other violin solo by Mr.. Wilcox,
My Old Kentucky Home,"which
brought an encore that produced
a beautiful overture.
Then came the debate. The
question was: Resolved that
the Beers are justified with their
war with England" DR.. Finney,
Fred Miller and G. w. Scott were
appointed judges by the Chair.
Judge Rowen and Attorney NJ. b.
Moore took the affirmative and
Judge Blood and j. f. Crawford
the negative. The speakers were
listened to with breathless inter
est by the audience, which was
very strongly in sympathy with
the Beers and applauded uproar-
iously when the judges brought
in a unanimous verdict for the
affirmative side of the question.
Great interest was manifested
in this debate and it was arrang-
ed that others. should follow, and
that Prof. Pagan should arrange
for a short entertainment by the

Mr.. Ferris says the option on
the stock of the mine is out on
the 18th of April. He regards
it as a very unwise thing to have
put even the apparently high price
of 50 per share on their stock,
there is nearly enough ore in
now to bring the sum that
the entire stock of the mine will

FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
ly the same component parts as that
Of to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
1t is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use of
glass for making weights to be EN-
ployed with balance scales. A pecul-
iarly tough kind of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
A change from old methods is that
Of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, anc
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that of clotf
manufacture has contributed so mucl
to the comfort and advancement o
man as that Of glassmaklng. which l
one of the oldest of technical industries
It's earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has a lions head Of glas
bearing hieroglyphics fixing the dat
at 400 years before Christ.
