The Insular Bureau of Agriculture has

fifteen years, has lived a}Oof from civill-

the death of his mother, Mary Benthusen,

FEWER SEAL PUPS.
Greater Alarm Than Ever Felt for
the Industry.


The seal catch by Americans on the
Pribilof Islands of Alaska in 1901, as
given by the Supervising Special Agent Of
the Treasury. in his annual report, was
2, 672, as against q, 40 in 1900.
Nevertheless, IT is believed that the
seals are decreasing in number. for
the smaller catch Of 1900 is ascribed to
the epidemic of sickness among the Es-
kimos last year, which prevented their
fishing as actively as usual
The British Columbia scaling fleet was
very active last year, the catch amount
ing to about $4,000, so the Treasury Off
cials say it is not to be wondered at
that the number of seal pups born this
year was smaller than ever before.
Vessels flying the Japanese flag were
also very active this year in the vicinity
of the Commander Islands. and il is be-
Iieved they committed depTedations on the
PribiIof herd As a consequence, greater
alarm tEan ever is felt for the preserva-
ton Of the fur-seal industry in Benring
Sea
The fox farms established on the Island
of St George and St Paul in reference
to which KipliRg wrote The little blue
fox, he is bred for his skim is doing
we'll and it IS Officially predicted that this
industry viii some time exceed the sealing
operations in commercial Importance.

JOMoRROW,S EXECUTION.

The Inter Mountain. with its usual en-
terprise, is represented at Deer Lodge
by special staff of correspondents, pho
tographers and artists. Readers Of this
paper will be informed in detail Of the
execution Of James Macarthur hours be-
fore any other paper in Montana tells
the news with any sort of completeness
With camera and pen the incidents Of
the notable news event will be recorded
and served up fresh and crisp to the
public of Butte and of Montana.
The Inter Mountains account today Of
events preceding the execution is inter-
esting in the extreme: tomorrow's news
will contain features of added interest.
Will James Macarthur die bravely, or will
he weaken at the last? Will he confess
his crime or go to his death with sealed
lips? These features, together with other
dramatic incidents of the day, will be
told in tomorrow's Inter Mountain.
There will be. of course, the usual COM
plete local and telegraph news service,
covering Butte, the state of Montana
and the world. In addition to these will
be the regular feature pages and the
crowded advertising columns in which
Butte merchants will have a word to
say to readers of the Inter Mountain.
Fifteen thousand copies will be issued.

LET ORIGINALS Be PUNISHED.

Governor Toole has done the state a
distinct service of late in declining TO
pardon two score of criminals whose
friends have applied to him for Glenn
ency. 1t is a solemn and awful fact
in Montana that very large number of
criminals are never convicted The
laws technicaiities, the weakness and
ignorance of iuries, the intercession of
friends and the use of corruption MONEY
all operate at times to protect the men
who transgress the law. 1t is safe to
say that whenever in this state a man
IS sent to the penitentiary there is no
doubt of his guilt and no doubt that any
attempt to procure his liberation is 4
rank offense against society. If Gov
ernor Toole were to pardon every man
applying to him for release. the peni-
Gentiary would soon be without inmates.
Some of the prisoners whose appeals he
has recently considered We're convicted
of the most atrocious crimes-crimes
that shocked the people of the entire
state, and that must have been the re-
suit Of deliberate and cold blooded pur.
pose. The people of Butte will readily
recall some OF them, and would stand
aghest were they convinced of the re-
mo:est possibility of the pardon of such
Offenders by the governor. In such cases
