LET US BUY MOOSE BY ALL
MEANS.

The state of New York, at the public
expense, proposes to buy hundred
head of moose and turn them loose in
the Adirondacks.
Moose used to be plentiful in the Ad-
irondacks. When Thomas Jefferson
was in Paris, more than hundred
years ago, he sent for a moose skele-
ton to prove to French naturalists that
we had big animals on this continent.
The naturalists had asserted that it
was an inferior continent because it
had no big animals.
Now our prosperous sportsmen have
killed off all the moose in the Adiron-
dack region it is proposed to get more
and turn them out among the trees.
This seems to us splendid and truly
republican idea. One rich man in the
Adirondacks owns seventy-fve thou.
sand acres and another owns one hun
bred thousand acres. They often in
vite their friends up there to shoot,
and it is absolutely humiliating to
have those friends walk around all
day and never get single moose.
The moose that are to be bought at
public expense are to be brought from
Canada and the Rocky Mountains, and
it will probably not cost more than
hundred thousand dollars to land
them in the Adirondacks
1t is impossible to estimate the pleas
ure, ozone and wholesome exercise
that dozen or more prosperous men
will get by walking through the woods
and killing these moose after they are
turned adrift.
In country like this, where we are
so liberal with our public schools,
where every child can find Fairgrounds
near its house, where every mother
receives care when i'll, it seems only
reasonable to purchase moose at the
public expense for the gentlemen who
own hundred thousand acres of Ad-
irondacK land. Doubtless Governor
Odell Of New York will hasten to ap-
prove this moose idea.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Arizona Sheriff Proved Himself Qualified
for His Office.


for His ONCE.
From the earliest times the Office OF
the sheriff of Maricopa county has
been the lodgeroom of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of PrevaIicators until
an honorary membership and an abil-
| ity to shine in it came to be regarded
as necessary qualification for sheriff
only little less important than the
ability to get enough votes at the con-
vention and the polls, says the Arizona
Republican. Sheriffs have usually been
represented by proxy in the meeting
of the association and the proxy has
always been some deputy, generally
Charlie Standard, who as a prevarica-
tor has always successfully held his
own against all corners. There was
some apprehension that Sheriff Stout
would not fill the bill. He was sup
posed to be too matter of fact Billy
Moeur and Billy Williams were not be-
lieved to be any more able liars than
the sheriff. and Captain Hi Mcdonald,
as an outside deputy could not be ex-
pected to attend meetings OF the as
ISOLATION. STILL in pinch there was
the ever-reliable Standard to fall back
upon. But Sheriff Stout yesterday
proved that he didn't need any deputy
prevaricator. An old settler who had
lived in the valley longer than any
body was telling at the sheriff's office
yesterday of the driest season the val
ley had ever experienced. There had
been nothing like it before and nothing
since. None of his hearers had ever
seen anything so dry. He couldn't tell
them how dry it was so they would
comprehend. Sheriff Stout was re-
minded of one very dry summer within
his residence in the valley. He had
just embarked in the cattle business
and had a herd of yearling calves.
There was little water on his ranch,
but no feed within ten miles. Every
morning he used to turn the calves out
so they could go to the nearest range
where there was some grass, but no
water. He accordingly hung canteen
filed with water around the neck OF
each calf. One day he went out to the
range to see the condition Of the grass
which, he thought, must be getting
short When he got there the calves
were feeding quietly on the bank OF
dry water course. All at once they
were stampeded and wildly scattered
In everv direction bellOWing with fear.
The sheriff went to see what was the
cause of the commotion and found it
to be huge catfish which had climbed
up the bank and got into fight with
The calves over the water in the can
teens.

RIVER BOATS IN RUSSIA.
Strange Looking Craft That Ply the
Waters of tho Muscovite Empire.

Strange Looking Craft That Ply the
Waters of tho Musoovite Empire.
Everywhere up the Volga and Its
hundred tributaries ascend the iron
barges of the Caspian sea Oil heet,
while through the canals to st. Peters
burg alone pass annually, during the
215 days of free navigation, thousands
of steamers and barges bearing mil
lions of tons of freight. Every known
means of locomotion is used, from men
who, like oxen, tramp the tow paths,
hauling the smaller barges, to power
full tugs that creep along by means oil
an endless chain laid in the bed of the
canals and minor rivers, dragging after
them at snail pace great caravans Of
heavy barges. From the greater
streams immense craft nearly 400 feet
long. fifteen feet in depth, carrying
5000 tons of freight, drift down to the
Caspian, where they are broken to
pieces to be used as firewood on the
steamers going up stream. In all
there are 5000 miles of navigable
waterways in the valley Of the Volga,
or. If the streams which float the giant
RATS that form so large part OF the
traffic of the rivers are included, the
mileage is increased to nearly $4,000,
or as much as that of the valley of the
Mississippi. Fifty thousand RATS are
fioated down the Volga annually, many
of them 100 feet long by seven thick,
and this gives but faint idea of the
real traffic of the river, for in addition
there are 100000 tons of produce
passing I'D and down the river during
the omen season. Much Of this centers
at Mini Novgorod. To this famous
market steamers and barges come
from all parts of Russia, bringing
goods to be sold at the great annual
fair over $2OO,OOO,OoO worth of mer-
cbandise changing hands in a few
weeks; 80, 900 craft, including RATS, are
required for this traffic; they come
from as far north as Archangel, as far
east as the Urals, from Astrakan in the
south. St. Petersburg and Moscow to
the west. while great caravans of ships
Of the desert arrive daily from all parts
of Asia

the Island or Trinidad from one no
ratio r. Hamilton, who obtained
concession from the Venezuelan gov
eminent near the end Of 1883. These
rights, as claimed by the trust, are so
sweeping as to amount to monopoly
of all the asphalt deposits in the state
of Bermudez.
But in 1897 some Venezuelans
claimed to have discovered new depos-
it's in Bermudez, and some two years
later sold out their claims to certain
persons in Syracuse, N. Y. These per-
sons secured a concession from the
new president of Venezuela, who be-
came president in the usual Spanish
American way, and proceeded to take
possession. The trust resisted, the
Venezuelan government sustained the
Syracuse concessionaires and the tw1
companies have been quarreling vio-
lently ever since. The Venezuelan gov
eminent has resented the interference
Of the American minister and consular
agents, who seem to have espoused tho
Cduoc vi liC u uhl CoCl NCuly.
The trust relies upon a clause in the
concession to Hamilton which stipu-
lates that it shall remain in force for
twenty-five years, commencing from
this date, Dec. 7, 1888, and during that
time the government shall not grant
equal rights in the state Of Bermudez
to any other person." The trust
claims that the present government
has assumed to grant equal right"
to the Syracuse company, and has
therefore violated the stipulation quot
ed.
According to this story the conten-
ton of the trust may be correct. That,
however, is a matter to be settled by
the courts of Venezuela and not by the
American minister to that country nor
by the state department in Washing
ton, much less by the parties to the
dispute.
1t is interesting to note that accord
ing to the account given by Mr.. Curtis
the trust is fighting for nothing but
the exclusive right until about 1914 to
take asphalt from deposit which is
apparently inexhaustible.
The statement is made that the as
phalt comes up boiling in the Trini-
dad lake and that what is taken out Is
quickly replaced from the interior
source of supply. 1t cannot be con-
tended, therefore, that the operations
of the Syracuse company would dimin-
ish the supply from which the trust is
drawing. The latter is making it's
fight not to prevent encroachment on
its supply, but to keep another COM
pany from competing with it in sup
plying the markets with asphalt.
Our representatives in Venezuela
have evidently been taking sides with
monopoly in matter which should be
settled in the courts.

THE MORGAN CANAL STORY.

State department officials are said to
make sweeping denial" of the state
ment that ]. Pierpont Morgan has been
in consultation with the powers that be
in Washington about the completion
of the Panama canal by private enter
prise.
Nevertheless the statement is reiter-
ated in its essential features. 1t is said
that while it is unquestionably true
that Nj. Morgan has made no overtures
to that department he has talked with
the president in his private Office at
the white house and informed him that
if his assistance and that of congress
can be assured the project will not cost
the United States a dollar.
Furthermore, we are assured that
even the state department has prac-
tically admitted that it is in possession
of information that Mr. Morgan and
his associates are in position to take
immediate possession of the Panama
it denies that he has made any over
lures for the purpose of securing the
aid of the government in carrying out
the enterprise.
II Mr.. Morgan and his associates
have an option" as the state depart
ment is said to admit, we may depend
on it he has some business to transact
with the government of the United
States. He has the option with view
to taking possession until he knows
what the government is going to do. He
will want to know, first, whether the
government is determined to construct
a canal at it's own expense, for we are
not to suppose that he intends to go
ahead anyhow and take the risk Of
having a government canal to compete
against.
If, then, he has the option it is not
merely credible, but highly probable.
that though he may not have talked
matte ever with officials of the state
department he has talked with some
one who can speak with more authori-
ty than even Secretary Hay.
