Give the Wild Folk a Show.

Reports from the annual squirrel
hunts-a barbarous custom in which
some Vermont towns take great
pleasure-are now about due, and
probably these gala days mean the
slaughter of the usual large number
of the little creatures The sport
goes on with great zest and enjoy
ment The grand hunt ends with a
feast and congra tuatons; a fine day
and lot of small game put to death
for nothing else than the pleasure of
killing small game that cannot es-
cape horde of merciless riflemen.
This sport or butchery ought TO be
stopped, and it would be a commend
able act on the part of our law
makers to do it.-[Woodstock Age.
This word of the Age is timely. The
hunting expeditions for points" when
sides are chosen and the strife is to
see who shall kill the most of the
harmless wild things in the woods and
fields, are a relic of barbarism which
ought not to be tolerated in any civil
lied community. They are, moreover,
exhibitions of brutality which no young
person ought ever to be allowed to join
in or witness. Man is said by the nat
uralists to be the only animal that
kills just for the sake of killing.
The best return from the tendency
of our day to nature study will be in
the influence which it will exert on the
minds of the young in teaching them,
not only to observe the flowers, the
birds and the animals, but to love them
and respect their rights. And when
this spirit gains its rightful influence
our Vermont hills and fields and woods
will be made doubly attractive by the
presence of the abundant animal life
which rightly belongs there. 1t is a
wrong and false instinct which makes
any boy or man wish to kill every wild
thing that comes in his way. It is to-
ward the prevention of this that our
fish and game laws are directed, and
it is the right of our Vermont boys
and girls to have their home state
made attractive to them by such
means.
IN this connection, we are glad to
note the effort which Is being made
around the Marlboro North pond to
protect the wild life there. DR.. Gwyer,
who has bought holding of some 300
acres on the south side of the pond,
has posted his land against shooting
and trapping, and has asked his neigh
bors to join in the movement. The
Doctor does not make this movement
in any selfish way. He is himself a
sportsman who enjoys an outing with
rod or gun, but he finds game of all
kinds has been practically extermin-
ated in the territory about the pond
in the ways which we have mentioned,
and he purposes to make his own land
a safe harbor where the wild folk may
bear and rear their young. 1t is a
kind of common-sense humanity which
ought to extend all over the state.

Postmaster Wright Has Received
 Official Notification of the Fact Carries a Salary This Year of $I,zOO-The Rural Free Delivery.

The Nome pcs office is no longer of the fourth class. 1t has been raised to the third class. and now ranks as a presidential office. This change took effect on July l, Postmaster Wright having received official information of the fact ny the last mail.
 The salary attached to the office hereafter will be based upon the busi- ness transacted by the office. that is, upon the sale of stamps and the rents derived from boxes. The salary. at present is fixed at sl.70O. In addition to this, the sum of S4GO will be allowed for rent. light and fuel
 In the future no Nome postmaster will have to Ii ake a fight against pri- vate carriers. as was he case last win ter. Anyone may take mail to the outside, provided that it has the neces- sary stamps affixed.
 The money received from box rents does not go into the pockets of the postmaster, as many suppose. but is covered into the treasury of the United States and credited to the poStotfice de- partment. Lock boxes rent for S2 per quarter, and lock drawers cost So.
 The clerical force now employed in the local office numbers l2 men, while three carriers are employed in the rural free delivery system, recently es- abolished. Of these. the creek and beach routes are giving satisfaction. The first Gold Run carrier resigned after his first trip. "Wednesday an- other carrier. F. P.

 IS GOOD Several Creeks Are Turninq
 Out We'll. %' A GOOD SHOWING
4 Big Paystreak Found on Gold Creek by Party of Swedes-Emma Creek Also PrOduCer-GordO Bettles Has Rich Claim.

Several creeks in the Koyukul country are turning out well, and there will be quite an output of gold this season from that section. This is the opinion of Howard Turner, now agent of the Northern Commercial Company at Nome.
 Mir. Turner is an old-time Yukoner.. He was at Circle City in 1895, and is we'll acquainted all along the river. He also spent some time in the koyu- kuk region. as agent for the A. c. Com pany, and knows that section pretty thoroughly. He left there on June 20. The season was backward one, just the same as here, but good prospects he'd been found, and some gold had been taken out of various creeks. Among the creeks which will be pre- ducers this year is Gold ereek, discov- cred by the same party of Swedes who struck it on Myrtle. Gold creek had all been located, save about two claims. which were in sort os canyon and where the "wise oneS' claimed no gold could be found, for reasons. signs and indications sufficient for them. However, the Sw- les located the claims and proceeded to do what plenty of alleged miners do not. They pros pected their ground. They sank 20 holes to bedrock, crOss-cutting the creek, and found pay in every hole. How wide the paystreak is. they do not know, but they have located it for a distance of 5O feet. Pay has also been located on several other claims on the same creek. A small dump on discovery claim yielded handsome return.
 Gold creek is no miles above Bettles. or 75O miles from the mouth of the Koyukuk- On Emma creek, 6o miles above Betsles, McNamer' & Morris last fall took out 5000 in a short time. The creek is full of boulders, and under- meath one which was moved S7S.50 was found. In taking out S9,00o, McNamer aid no real mining He got the dust by simply ''sniping" here and there-
 Gordon Bettles has a good piece of property on Gold Bench, and last Aug ust he took out out Sl0,GO0 i0 short time. He put man ia charge and he soon ran Bettles in debt Sl0.oOO. Then he took hold of it himself and the in- dcbtedness was wiped out in a brief time.
 There are probably 250 people on the Koyukuk and there is plenty of food there. The steamers City of Paris and Rock Island went up this spring with 300 tons of goods.

The tobacco growers and dealers

acre. A great deal of tobacco has been
grown without shade by small planters,
but it does not come up to the grade of
the shaded tobacco by any means. and

Resolution Prohibiting Membership
in Militia Organizations.

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 14.-At to-
days session of the annual convention
of the International Typographical
Union, consideration of the report OF
the laws committee was continued. An
amendment was offered by President
Lynch, relative to the manner of appeal
from the decision of a subordinate
union was adopted. The appeal is first
to be submitted to the president, ex-
cept where allied crafts are organized
as district trade unions. The aggriev-
ed party can appeal from the presi-
dents decision to the executive council
and finally to the international body.
1t was decided to pay the president
and secretary treasurer 1880 each an

Delegate Cutting of Boston proposed
resolution prohibiting any member
of the union from becoming a member
of the national guard or other military
organizations. This gave rise to an
animated debate. Delegate Nichols of
Baltimore said that if the militia were
not organized among the friends of la
Dor it will be organized among it's enc
mics.
One delegate shouted:
Would it be good policy for us to
declare ourselves against the govern
ment of our country?"
Finally the whole proposition was
tabled.
Cincinnati was unanimously chosen
for the convention of 1902.

One Big League Now the Proposal
for Next Season.
Chicago, Aug. 14.--The Inter-Ocean
will say tomorrow:
One big baseball league for next sea-
son. Ten clubs, James A. Hart or Ban
johnson for president. Ban Johnson or
James A. Hart secretary and treasurer
Andrew ]. Freedman main wheel of the
board of directors. Such is the last
combination formed on the baseball
map. and such is the deal which, unless
somebody's temper overturns the
scheme. will. in all probability, be car
ried through.
The rival clubs of Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia will be consolidated.
The circuit will be Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Washington and Balti-
more, or Providence or Brooklyn, East;
Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, ST.
Louis and Detroit in the West. Men
from the disbanded teams will be so
distributed as to insure strong teams
in New York, Chicago and Washington.
There will not be a weak team in the
lot, and the struggle ought to be one
of the closest and prettiest on record.
