GOV. ROOSEVELT HAS SET AN Ex-
AMPLE FOR THE BIG GAME
HUNTERS
SOME THRILLING KILLINGS
Plentiful Supply of the Animal In
the ROckies-Resembles Very
Closely the African
LlOness.

1t used to be the fashion among those
" no could spare the time and afford the
expense of the trip to go into the heart
or AFRICA to hunt lions. Vice President
elect Roosevelt has just set the big game
hunters of Uncle Sans domain a new eX-
ample, and his success may be respons-
lille for the organization of many other
expeditions to hunt lions in our own ter
ritory. Twelve mountain lions in six
weeks Is Mr.. Roosevelt's record, and it is
a record to be proud OF. 1t sometimes is
better to kill the game; apart from the
sentiment involved there is more sport
and often more of the spice of danger
in 1t that lends excitement to the chase.
Naturalists assert that the mountain
hon VIII not attack human being eX-
cept In self defense, but that is only half
a truth. Hungry lions are no respecters
Of persons, and gaunt beasts OF this
species have been known to waylay AMI
attack mountaineers almost at the doors
of their cabins. And when he has been
cornered the mountain lion always and
without exception has been able to put
up mighty interesting fight.
The story Of Mr. Roosevelt's hunting
trip has not been told in detail, but two
lions a week for six weeks, and all Of
them hunted down, must have supplied
a plenty of excitement both for the hun
ter and for his dogs. All sorts of stories
Of Mr.. Roosevelts adventures during
those six weeks have come out of the
West Newspaper correspondents in Col
Crado In sending out these manufactured
stories have displayed woeful ignorance
Of the habits of big game. They had Mr..
Roosevelt engaging, for instance, in
kand-to-hand combats with bears Of all
sorts and conditions at a time when the
bruin family was snugly alternating IN
winter quarters and sleepily sucking its
thumbs. Mr. Roosevelt promptly denied
these manufactured incidents" when he
returned to civilization, but he admitted
the lions. II got twelve of Them" he
said.
Ne census has ever been taken OF the
American mountain lion, but according
to estimates from the Rocky mountain

the Chinese quarters underground the
home Of the highlander and the head
quarters Of the smugglers. The terrible
effects of the opium drug are seen, the
devotees Of Joss are seen In prayer. The
act closes with a raid by the officers.
The third act represents the entrance to
the Fong Quay club and the Palace sa-
loon on Sacramento street. The scene
changes to the heart of Chinatown, view
ed on New Years night, on the occasion
of the great celebration in honor of the
day. The street is Enthusiastically illum-
mated, and presents a scene of Oriental
splendor. The mart scene, the Chinese
theater, and the Joss house are shown in

sing that of the Span of Life" occurs
here. Act four shows the assembly rooms

Back From Dawson CITY.

Mr.. H. r. Colman, a former resident
Of this place arrived from Dawson
City, Thursday afternoon. He brought
with him some fine pictures taken by
himself, of the scenery along the
route from Bennett City to Dawson
City. We also had the pleasure of
seeing some gold dust and nuggets,
which he brought as a sample Of the
gold diggins and were worth about
$25, Mr. Colman will remain here
about week visiting his relatives,
and then return to Dawson, where he
is engaged in the trading business.
He starts from Bennett City with
scows loaded with merchandise, with
Dawson City his destination. He was
near by last summer when q storm
overlook some OF the men In the same
business as himself, and rocked their
scows. Henry was one of those lucky
fellows who missed the destruction OF
the storm, as he had so tons Of mer-
chandise, for which had paid $50 a
ton freight over the distance OF 40
miles, which would have been a large
loss taking in consideration the first
cost Of the merchandise and the
ocean transportation, duty, scows
etc. Pen cannot describe the beau
ties Of the country, and the chances
for young men is beyond magma
ton. The train which Mr.. Colman
was to have taken at Whitehorse, on
his homeward trip was snow bound,
and after waiting a week, he started
and walked 10 miles, beating the
train two days, and as passenger
rates are only 25 cents mile he
saved tidy sum.

TO THE TAX PAYERS
AND CITIZENS OF
EAGLE RIVER.

i
/ AZ our last town election, the ques-
ton Of whether or not cows should be
allowed to run at large, received at
tention and discussion.
In all probability the question will
be again revived at the coming spring
election, and hence it is no more than
right that all worthy taxpayers and
citizens should give this important
subject fair consideration.
Tt is true that cattle when allowed
to run at large do some damage and
cause a certain amount Of inconven-
fence; but the question at issue is,
will the amount Of damage and neon
yenience be greater if the COWS are
not allowed to run?
It is the opinion Of the writer that
both the damage and the inconyen-
fence would be much greater if the
owners OF stock would be compelled
to shut them up. This fact appears
to me to be true for the following
reasons
1st. Out Of al the owners of mich
cows in our village, perhaps not more
than half dozen could afford TO pas
ture their stock in suitable places.
Then too comes the question; would
it be possible for all of the owners Of
cattle to find enough of convenient
pasture room to accommodate their
stock? Most emphatieally, no. Then
what would become OF the stock?
This question is easily answered.
There would be only one alternative,
viz; to dispose Of their stock as best
they could. What would that mean?
It would mean the taking away Of the
milk and butter from hundreds Of
poor people and children especially
who most need it. Can any reason
able citizen say that that would be
right? Nc, justice is composed Of
different material.
2nd.-If the COWS were not allowed
to run, such an ordinance would effect
most directly the greater majority OF
the poorer people who most need the
milk and butter which the cow yields.
We could not call it just legislation
which would accommodate the small
minority at the expense Of the great
majority.

NUMBER At.

But it is claimed that cattle when
allowed to run at large dirty the side
walks and break into and destroy gar
dens in the night time. That is very
true and I for one am most heartily
in favor of preventing those evils.
I therefore think that this would be
a fair proposition to lay down to NIT
igate the evils and to conciliate the
two rival factions on this question, viz:
!" That all cattle should be shut up
and not allowed to run at large from
9 O'Clock in the evening until o'clock
in the morning, and the rest of the
day let the cattle run at large and go
into the suburbs and Craze"
Then there would be no breaking in
to gardens in the nighttime, neither
would COWS be dirty ing and destroying
sidewalks as is the case when they are
allowed to run atsnight.
/ consider this very fair and just
solution Of the question as both sides
would thus have to make some con-
cessions and the present existing evils
would be done away with.
Let it also be understood that the
question does not materially effect me
as have place for my stock and
can conveniently keep them shut up
If necessary. I speak for the benefit
OF the people at large and would like
to see the question settled in fair
and peaceful manner.
