 Editor Snyder, of the Wrangell Sen. tinel. called at this office last week and exchanged good words with the old man of the News. We found MT. Snyder to be very pleasant gentleman. He is doing lots of good work for the town of Wrangell with his Sentinel, copies of which find their way into every part of Alaska, and many places in the States, where they are read with inter est by many people who otherwise would never know that there was such a town as Wrangell. And you can de pend upon it, Snyder will always keeI the best points of the town before his readers. He and his paper should re- ceive liberal patronage from the peo pie of his home town.

BeautlfuI African Turtle.

One of the most beautiful turtles in
the world is found in Africa, and few
fine specimens were recently captured
there and taken to Europe. That they
will thrive in strange country is by no
means certain, though few natural
lists, who have spent some months in
German East Africa and who have
carefully studied these turtles, are
confident that they will quickly be-
come acclimatized. The beauty of
these torpid and rather ungainly ami
mails is in the shell, which covers and
protects almost the entire body. Tn
like that of the ordinary turtle, which
is singularly lacking in richness and
variety of color, this shell attracts the
eye at once by the beautiful gold and
brown stripes which run down it and
by the little clusters of crimson which
are found here and there.-Detroit
Free Press.

GOOD FISHING SEASON
Weak Fish being Caught iO: Selnes on the
South ShOre-In Shallow Water.

There is prospects for a good fishing
season this year. The warm weather
in May was favorable as an early
season generally means plenty of fish.
The past few days, however, has
tended to drive the fish down and out
of the bay, for an east wind has been
blowing almost continually. Fish
always nose the wind and that means
they have been heading out. Today,
however, they will run up the bav
aagin and if the west wind will con-
tinue there ought to be plenty of fish
on the beds.
During the spring, shallow water is
the place to look for the weak fish.
1t is warmer there. AS summer
approaches they will go deeper. There
seems to be plenty of weak fish in the
bay according to reports from the
south shore. They are being caught
in seines there in quantities. Several
parties have gone out from this side,
however, and have returned with but
poor luck. It is evident they do not
cast their lines In right places. Every
thing is favorable, however, to most
successful year with rod and reel in
Raritan bav.

BIG PETRIFIED STUMP.
One in Colorado That Is Twenty Feet
in Diameter and Ten Feet
High.

The petrifed stump of a gigantic
redwood tree, which is in an almost
perfect state of petrifaction, is at
Florissant, not far from Cripple
Creek, Col, says the Wide World
Magazine.
Although numberless people have
taken specimens from this stump ag-
gregating many tons, it is still esti-
mated to weigh fully 440 tons. To
give better idea of its size it may
be we'll to state that it is 20 feet in
diameter and ten feet high.
There have been many attempts to
dig it up and place it upon exhibition,
the last being scheme to exhibit it
at the great exposition at st. Louis
in 1904. Owing to its great weight,
however, this had to be abandoned,
as there are no railway cars capable
of carrying anywhere near its weight.
What, perhaps, makes it more of a
curiosity is the fact that this Rocky
mountain region is a country of
small trees, and that there are no
giant redwoods within a thousand
miles of this stump-which goes to
show that nature has changed the
entire vegetable growth of this sec
tion, as nothing requiring the semi
tropical heat of redwood tree would
grow at this altitude now.

WRESTLING GOSSIP.

George Hackenschmidt, the wonder
full Russian wrestler, may be COM
pelled to retire from the wrestling
profession if he follows the wishes Of
his folks. They want him to give up
the game because they do not think it
is elevating. Hackenschmidt comes
from an old Russian family which is
said to be very wealthy. Hacken-
schmidt simply follows the game from
mere choice He likes it and says he
would rather be on the mat than eat.
Since he became a wrestler, which is
about four years now, he has made
thousands of dollars. But he has
never been to this country and adds
that if his family becomes too persist
ent he will give up wrestling after he
has made tour of the United States
under the management of Sam Fitz-
patrick. Sam has said that Hacken-
schmidt would surely come here next
August to meet the best men procur-
able.
It is not likely that Ernest Roeber
will enter the wrestling game again
with the same zest as of former years.
ROBBERS showing against Gus Rubin
the other night was far from fatter-
ing. The retired champion displayed
all of his old-time cleverness, but lack
ed the required strength. Roeber said
yesterday: "My long absence from
the mat has made my muscles soft and
fiabby and it will require at least six
months of constant training before l
will be able to get out and turn them
over as I used to do when l was on
top. will do light work during the
summer months. If / see that l can
stand the strain will meet them all.
But they must post big forfelts for a
side bet before will notice them"
Tom Jenkins added another victory
to his credit at Montreal the other
night by defeating Carl Pons. Jenk-
ins took two straight falls at catch-as-
catch can style. Pons made good
resistance, but was never in the hunt
from the start. The match was only
sparingly attended.
Jack Mccormick, of Philadelphia.
has issued a challenge to meet any
wrestler in the business at Graeco.
Roman or catch as -catch-can style.
/ McC Cormick Just now is IN the best OF
shape. He is contemplating trip tc
che Klondike, where he has received
an offer to meet some good men a
wrestling or boxing. Mccormick de
clares that wrestling matches are al
the go in Alaska, and that really
clever fellow can make plenty o.
money there.
