inadvertently, made little money!
1erkes came to Chicago from Phil
adelphia in 1886, and acquired con-
troll of the North Chicago street rail-
way, afterwards securing the West
side lines also. At that time he was
not rated as multi-millionaire,
though he was by no means short of
cash, having made money rapidly at
the time of the Jay Cooke failure in
1873 and 1874, after having failed in
1871 in Philadelphia. At the time of
his failure he was indebted to the
city of Philadelphia for bonds sold
on its account, and, refusing to give
the city preference over other credit
ors, was convicted and imprisoned for
misrepresentation of public funds,
the conviction afterwards being de-
clared illegal.
He got into and out of Chicago at
opportune times. When he secured
control of the North side surface
lines the city was just beginning to
show a remarkable growth and ex-
pansion. He held on until a portion
of the franchises held by the com
pany We're about to expire, and, find
ing himself unable to secure renewals
at what he considered favorable
terms, he sold out.
1t is said that while in Chicago,
and by selling for an exceptionally
high figure, he doubled his wealth
several times, and with the money
made here is now building his under
ground lines in London

on the Adirondack forest, woodcock and
grouse seem to have deserted their old
breeding grounds; for few birds were seen
this year or last, in Il region where nature
favors their development.
1t il believed that the pot hunter is to
blame for the almost total disappearance
of the birds. Next season the birds are
expected to show their appreciation of this
years protection by sending large broods
out into the fields.
The scarcity of game along the Mohawk
Valley was not duplicated further west.
In Wayne and other counties along Lake
Ontario woodcock we're seen in large num-
bers, and some very credtable strings

where the demand for game is always large
and the opportunities for importing tho
birds from outside the state are many,
no decrease in the number Of partridges
and quail on sale in the market has been
evident. In the smaller cities however,
very few game birds have been exposed
for sale.
This is held to he an indicate on that the
market hunter has not been ~ work this
