when the horse herd has with it a
stallion experienced in range life. He
can smell wolf farther than he can

and an Unsuitable appetite. 1t is said
OF him that he can run longer ano

gray wolf pup is awkward and un-

practice Of the Powder river ranges to
locate gray wolf litter on the prairie
and shoot the pups from horseback as
they skulkingly roll and tumble from
their covers in the grass and sage

Robert Lebaudy, who is one of the

has investments in industries in vari-
GUS parts Of the world has returned
from trip on the new Trans-Siberian
railway across Siberia. where he went
for the purpose of familiarizing him
self with conditions in the far east.
He said in part that all of the Trans
Siberian railway is now finished with
the exception of the East Chinese road,
which will carry the line through Man
churia, with branches to Port Arthur
and Pekin. This part Of the road is
being built under a separate conces-

the cold is intense, there is little snow.

FEROCIOUS
WOLVES

Lib Vincent, one of Wyoming's old
time COW punchers and now riding on
the Powder river ranges, says that the
gray wolves of his section are legion
in number and as fearless as they are
ferocious. These gray and greedy
scourges of the Powder river stock
areas do their raiding in bands rang
ing in numbers Of from six to thirty,
each band being organized and dis
cipllned under the leadership of an old
dog wolf especially chosen for his
wariness, speed and endurance. To
this captain these gaunt and grizzled
marauders yield an implicit and un-
swerYing obedience-a statement evil
denced from the fact that If one of
these wolf leaders is slain or crippled
his band at once amalgamates with
some other troop possessing a leader
or like capacity. The age or size of
their quarry is Of little moment with
these wolves, as they pull down and

The Mosquitoes
10 Deadly Foe

Petroleum will kill mosquitoes, but It
is not the most practical method of de-
stroying the pest, as is stated by many
persons, says a New Yorker. Besides,
the cure is worse than the ailment.
Petroleum destroys foliage, ruins water
and is disagreeable in odOr l would
rather suffer mosquitoes than have our
beautiful salt meadow lands, tide
creeks and bays and fresh ponds and
streams filled with kerosene, The real
practical method of destroying mos

SAW A SEA -.
SERPENT

In Maine the penalty for selling a
glass Of liquor is 800 fine and sixty
days in Jail. The bad quality of
whisky sold in the state and especially
In the city of Bangor, makes the pun
ishment less severe than it seems.
Considering the quality Of the liquor
there must be a specially tough brand
on sale this season, as the following
story sent out by wire fully attests:
The sea serpent has been seen in
Maine waters, at such close quarters
that those who saw it are in no doubt
whatever as to its size. For years the
fishermen of Grand Manan have been
telling OF a strange monster that has
frequently been seen in those waters,
but it has always appeared in foggy
weather, and at some distance from
shore or ships.
NOW complete and circumstantial
account OF a meeting with the sea
monster is furnished by the captain
and crew Of the schooner Madagascar,
which arrived at Lubec from New
York. Two Of the crew Of the vessel
vouch for the truth Of this narrative:
recently, during the morning watch,
at about $3.50 o'clock, while the NADIA
gascar was making four knots an hour.
an object was made out on the star
board bow which the lookout at first
thought to be a big log. Suddenly,

hands on deck were startled to see the

| bonds are held mostly at home. The
japanese are the best agriculturists in
the world and every available inch of
their soil is cultivated, but they have
very little capital. The fact that for
eigners cannot own land IN Japan dis
courages foreign capital from coming
In, and this must be changed. For
instance, as the law now stands the
bondholders of a railroad could not
toreclose in case Of default. Just now
new taxes have been levied ON sugar
and certain other articles, and enor-
nous quantities Of sugar were brought
In before the tax went into effect.
This is lying in the custom houses be-
cause the importer cannot raise money
to get it out.
There is great fear Of revolt in
China because the people, of whom
there are 950,0OO,OOO contained in 20
provinces, have lost faith in their rul-
ers, and one should not be surprised
by hearing that the Emperor or EN-
press had been assassinated. Not
withstanding these deplorable circum-
stances, China offers large field for
enterprise and investment.
With all the ground possibilities Of
