ut should be borne in mind that the
number of moose killed has been
steadily decreasing each year until
this year. We can only reiterate what
we have said great many times, that
without better protection the final end

lection then ever before.

with many of the best Informed
guides and others advocating a close
time on moose in order to preserve
them from extinction. it is safe to say
that all the hunters have been here
that our moose can stand.
ITO hear some people talk, one
would think that our moose were like
an ever-flowing fountain, the supply
ineXhaustible. 1t Is not so. The great
est care must be taken or soon the
question will be where are the moose,
not where are the hunters. They will
have disappeared with the caribou,
once great attraction to hunters.
Let no one be concerned but what
there will be all the moose hunters
that this greatest Of game animals can
stand. Let us be more concerned
about preventing their extinction than
we are about any falling off in the
numbers who hunt them annually.
I'VE have repeatedly called attention
to this fact, but we have been laughed
and sneered at for so doing by those
who are SO loudly lamenting that no
more have been here to hunt them
this season."

rHREE-oUARTER LENGTH COATS

The latest models in evening cloaks confirm the vogue of the three-QuartcI length style.
 greater number of this length are seen among the imported French and English models than in either the shoI mantles or those coming to the end oI the gown.
 Any one who remembers how daint- fly the evening skirt ripples out from beneath a cloak of this kind will agree that the style is deservediy popular.
 Materials for opera wraps are de- lightful this season. The trimmings. too, are such stuff as women's dreams are made of.
 The choice is not an eas.- one i. either particular.
 You picture to yourself the charms of an exquisite one in white broad cloth only to he led away a moment later by the fascination of another. all so imaginary, in rose pink. chamois o' violet
 When it comes to trimming a colored braid in Persian design seems just the proper touch until you are allured by one of the new velvets or a deep borde.' of a silk fringe.
 The fashionable purple shades. vary ing frOmtne palest amethyst to q deep wine color, are very popular for even ing wear. They come in practically all the materials built for this part O. the wardrobe.
 Zibelines and other hairy fabrics are also seen among the smartest effects In white these give a lovely suggestion of winter frost. They are becoming to both blonde and brunette types.
 The military idea is introduced into some of the most modish garments of this kind in the form of frogs, epaulets and touches of gold or silver braid.
 The various colored braids are also used, but always sparingly. It may take the form of a collar band. or a strip may be tucked away in the fur trim ming which trims the front of the gown; the cuffs may be freaked pret- tilv with it. In the best models there is never too much.
 Many Of the new velvets drape SO softly that they can be manipulated like cloth for opera cloaks. Again. lovely but responsiveness come en- tirely in fur.
 Several varieties of fur especially ermine. with it's limitations. and mole skin are applied as trimminS to cloth or silk wraps.

NEWSPAPERS ACCOMPLISH CURE
 OF CONSUMPTION.
Result of Great Newspapers Enter prise-American Bureau Estab-
 lished in New York

Exaggerated fear of the Consump- ! tion germ is now a thing of the past. Consumption is considered just as cur able as any other form of disease. and for this knowledge the press must be given credit.
 If American journalism never added another glory tc it's achievements. the saving of thousands Of lives from Con sumption's grasp would mark its work well done.
 " hen the accomplishments of Prof. AdOlph Hoff of Vienna were cabled to America, the New York Journal and American, with the enterprise which characterizes this great paper, imma- diately sent Frederick Hammann as the first American test case to ascer- tain for the American people all that could be learned regarding this cure for consumption.
 This young man was chosen from among many hundreds Of ccnsump- tives who visited the clinics of New York in the hope of a cure. He re- turned cured, and the history of his treatment has been chronicled in the newspapers from time to time
 This enterprising act on the part of the New York Journal and American gave unimpeachable force to the fact that consumption could be and should be cured wherever found.
 After this test case, thousands who took Prof. Hoff's prescription Were cured. This resulted, at the advice of Prof. HOff, in the establishment of the American Bureau at the laboratories Of Messrs. Bendiner SS Schlesinger, 3rd Ave. and 10th street, New York City, N. Y.
 By addressing the American Bureau. Treatise on Consumption Tby Prof. Hoff. containing all that is necessary to know regarding the dangers Of infec- ton. hygiene, diet and other import ant information for the consumptive. and those interested in the cure of consumption, catarrh, bronchitis, and asthma, is sent free on application
 All theories heretofore indulged in have not accomplished the results that have followed the publicity given by the American press to this wonderful discovery of Prof. Adolph Hoff.

 MT. Curry says that Wickenburg just at the present time is d little quiet though there never was a minute when the prospects for the future were moro flattering. Asked regarding the Orc Grande operations MT. Curry says tha: since the initial run of the five stamp mill. all energies had been directed toward the development of a water supply in the mine and now a depth of about 400 feet has been secured. Un- fortunately though, but little water has been found and surveyors are now running line for a proposed pipe line from the Hassayampa river. a mile and a half away The company already has water locations on the river but hoped to avoid the expense of the pipe line.
