Hudson Bay Fur Company.

Years ago the fur trade ceased to be
managed from London, and, although
the governor of the company is the
titular and official head, a new rule
provided that there should be resi-
dent chief commissioner, with head
quarters at Winnipeg. The successor
to the post held for nearly forty years
by Sir George Simpson, the late auto
crat Of the fur trade, is Clarence Camp
bell Chapman, known not to English
men at home, perhaps, but to every
factor, clerk, hunter, trapDer, engage,
Indian and half-breed in the Great
Lone land as the "chief," or the ''big.
white boss" of the fur trade. AS in the
days of Sir George, directors in Eng
land may come and go, converting by
candle light, according to immemorial
usage, in the musty broadroom at Hud-
sons Bay house, but the chief re-
mains.
1t is on the cooperative and profit
sharing plan that the fur trade Of the
company is managed nowadays. Ev-
cry employe, from clerk to chief factor,
is richer for an abundance Of pelts and
high prices, but he does not share the
profits of the shop-keeping and land
selling, which is distinct branch of
the business and annually growing in
extent. This is not to be wondered at,
considering that when the company
ceded it's lands to the crown it still re-
tanned acres which at a rough valua-
ton to-day are yet worth, after all
their sales, between f2O,000,000g and
93O,OOO,OOO.
This is a grievance with the clerks
and factors as you will discover when
YOU come to talk ''musquash' Ii. e.,
..shop'') at any of the posts or factories
in the far north-a grievance and also
a matter of contempt and an object for
their satire. Land-selfing forsooth! AS

barren acres to Hudson's Bay mani

Novel Theory Of Murder.


According to an ingenious statistician,
who has been at work on the subject
ever since the assassination og King
Humbert of Italy, the greatest number
of murders is likely to be committed in
that country in which animal are treat
ed with the most cruelty. he claims,
too, that comparatively few murders
are committed in those countries in
which societies for the protection of
animals flourish.
Out of every million inhabitants, he
saws, there are in England and Ireland
only six murderers; in Germany, IL; in
Belgium, II; in France, Is; in Aus
tria, %; in Hungary, 81, in Spain, 80;
and in Italy, 95.
These figures, he maintains, are just
what might be expected. In no coun-
try, he says, are animals treated with
more kindness than in Great Britain
and with more cruelty than in Italy,
and the treatment accorded to them in
the other countries may fairly be
gagged according to the number of muir
ders committed in each
At the same time this statistician,
who is a German and an influential
member of the Berlin Society for the
Protection Of Animals, admits that eli
mate is considerable factor in this
matter.

TO PREVENT KIDNAPPING.
Several Rich Boys Are Kept Locked Up
Like Prisoners.


The kidnapping of young Cudahy has
attracted renewed attention to this peril
of wealthy families. 1t is form of crime
kept constantly in mind by several resi-
dents of New York City, who take every
precaution to guard themselves against
such experience. This is particularly no.
ticeable in the country houses Of two
New York families In one of these the
youthful heir to many millions, on whose
life depends much Of the family's wealth,
is quartered in a wing of the house. Ev-
cry window and door is barred as if the
rooms formed a prison and not a nursery,
and one man is always stationed about
the house and the grounds with no other
duty than to watch this child and keep
him and his nurses constantly, in view.
To steal this child would require the eff
forts of a small and very well-equipped
army, as all the employees of the estab-
lishment whether they come directly into
contact with the youngster or not, are
impressed with the idea that nothing else
is so important as his safety. Somewhat
older are two boys who are some day
likely to inherit millions. They are pro-
tected with almost equal thoroughness,
and one of the interesting sights of their
fathers country house is the floor which
they occupy. Every window is as strong
ly barred as if precautions were taken to
keep desperate characters inside the
house rather than to keep them out.

State Superintendent of Schools l.. ID.
Harvey has made some important recon-
mendations to the Legislature in his re-
port. He discusses the township system
of school government which he has advo-
Gated for years, and gives considerable
space to the question Of better teachers
for the country schools. The common
schools, their present backward state,
their needs, and the means Of supplying
the needs, and improving their condi-
tons, indeed, might almost be called the
keynote of the report. Among his recon-
mendations some of the more important
are:
County training schools for teachers.
Increased facilities and appropriations
for teachers Institutes.
Higher qualifications for common
school teachers.
Better pay and limit to the time Il
person may teach ON a third-grade certif-
cate.
The wages paid teachers in the COM
mon schools of the State are classified
in the report as follows:
| 174 teachers get less than $40 month
2,764 teachers get between $40 and $26
q month.
| 1000 teachers yet between S-O Auu
| a month.
1893 teachers get between $50 and $3.50
a month.
TIC teachers get between $50 and $41
a month.
425 teachers get between $40 and SAG
! month.
254 teachers get between $40 and SOL
a month.
23S teachers get more than $50 a
month.
Mr. Harvey comments on the large
number of teachers who get less than
$25 q month, and are employed only sew
en- or eight months in the year. 1t is inn
possible, he says, for teachers who get
this meager pay to make any extensive
preparation for their work. Consolida-
ton, Mr. Harvey thinks, would result in
the employment of higher-paid, better
prepared teachers.

During the past year 342 persons have
been arrested in Wisconsin for violations
of the game laws and there were 1870
seizures of nets, spears, etc The fines
collected amounted to $4,000, and con-
victons were secured in all but twenty
one cases. These and other facts are
shown in the report of State Fish and
Game Warden Ellarson. The report
calls attention to the loss of life during
the deer season. Twelve persons were
reported killed and a large number more
or less injured last year, and the report
says some means should be devised to les
sen the danger. The value of the work
of the department. the warden says, is by
no means represented by the number Of
arrests made and convictions secured,
the real work being to prevent violations
rather than the punishment of some one
for violations. The extension of the Ii
cense system has made the department.
self-supporting and the extension of the
special warden system has resulted in
more general and better enforcement Of
the law than was ever before possible.
Mr.. Ellarson expresses the hope that the
movement on foot to secure the repeal Of
the law prohibiting spring shooting will
fail and says it is only matter of time
when other States must follow the lead
of Wisconsin in the matter

The commission appointed by Governor
Scofield to secure title for the State to
lands which are to be incorporated IN
the Wisconsin side of the Interstate
Park of the Dalles of the st. Croix," has
reported progress to the Governor. The
commission consists of exAssemblyman
w. G.. Wheeler, Harry y. Baker and L.
Seery 1t has secured agreements for
sales to the State of large part Of the
lands, the deeds being deposited in es-
crow, to be delivered whenever the pur-
chase money is paid to the owners. This
is as far as the commission could go, as
the law provides that no payment can be
made until the commission makes it's final
report The amount required for the Eur-
chase is $3,655. Condemnation proceed
ings have been instituted for the acquisi-
ton of other tracts. In the judgment of
the commission further appropriation Of
$500 will be needed. 'sWhen the park
is once established" the commission says,
svery little money will be required to
maintain it, for it is not intended to sup
plant the natural scenery by the artit-
cial but as far as possible to preserve
the natural beauty of the locality
