USELESS GAME LAWS.

AS It looks to us, all attempts at
legislation to secure the preservation
Of the wild game Of this country will
come to naught. The people general
ly do not respect game laws. This
fact, coupled with the advent Of mod
ern firearms, the changed conditions
under which wild things have to live
and the almost insane desire to kill all
types of wild things on sight, makes
the early extinction Of nearly all kinds
of game, both flesh and fowl, Abso-
lutely certain. The buffalo, the deer,
the wild turkey. the wild pigeon, the
ruffed grouse and the prairie chicken
are practically all gone, while the wild
fowl-geese, ducks and swan-are so
harassed by the bombardment 1000
miles long which they have to endure
both spring and fall that their fight
is diverted to the far west or made at
such heights from the earth that they
are beyond sight and hearing. The
game hog, the market hunter and the
pump gun have about completed the
tragedy.

Five YEARS OF pnoeRrss.

Five years have worked a marvellous
revolution in agricultural conditions in
this country through the general intro
ductton Of the system Of rural mail de-
livery and the extension OF farm tele-
phones. One does not at first realize
how great has been the change until
he goes to these rural communities re-
moved from their local trading point
or town from. six to ten miles. For all
these SO far removed from the centers
of business to be brought into close
touch with the busy world each day
means much. There is more content
ment with farm life and rural condi-
tons: it has wjdened the horizon of Hv-
ing for all the young people; it has
brought the subtle and magic touch Of
modern progress and civilization to all.
On the trail of these agencies Is fast
coming a revolution in agricultural
methods; new and better ways are be-
ing followed, and from being SO gen
orally regarded asa despised avocation
agriculture is being elevated and dig
nified into most honorable profess
sion. And the end is not yet.

another. Then Shearer caught his
arm, motioning the dazed and bloody
victim Of the attack to get out Of sight.
Thorpe shook bis foreman off with one
impatient motion and strobe away up
the river, his head erect, his eyes flash
ing, his nostrils distended.
Il reckon you'd better mosey," Shear
er dryly advised the dam watcher, and
followed.
Late in the afternoon the two men
reached Dam Three, or, rather, the spot
on which Dam Three had stood. The
same spectacle repeated itself here, ex-
cept that Ellis, the dam watcher, was
nowhere to be seen.
"The dirty whelpsv' cried Thorpe.
''They did a good jobv'
He thrashed about here and there
and SO came across Ellis blindfolded
and tied. When released the dam
watcher was unable to give any ac-
count Of his assailants.
"They came up behind me while I
was cooking" he said. "One Of 'em
grabbed me, and the other one kivered
my eyes, Then hears the shot and
knows there's trouble"
Thorpe listened in silence. Shearer
asked a few questions. After the low
voiced conversation Thorpe arose alb
ruptly.
Where you going? asked Shearer.
But the young man did not reply. He
swung, with the same long, nervous
stride, into the down river trail.
Until late that night the three men
for Ellis insisted on accompanying them
hurried through the forest. Thorpe
walked tirelessly, upheld by his violent
but repressed excitement. Shearer
noted the fire in his eyes and, from the
GOODNESS of his greater age, counseled
moderation.
II wouldn't stir the boys up," he
painted. for the pace was very swift
They'll kill some one over there; it II
be murder on both sides.''
He received no answer. About mid.
night they came to the camp.
Two great fires leaped among the
trees and the men were grouped be
tween them, talking. Evening had
brought its accumulation Of slow anger
against the perpetrators of the outrage
Even as the woodslnen joined their
group they had reached the intensity
of execution. Across their purpose
Thorpe threw violently his personality
You must not go.' he commanded.
Through their anger they looked at
him askance
Il forbid it," Thorpe cried.
They shrugged their Indifference and
arose. This was an affair of caste
brotherhood. and the blood of their
mates cried out to them
Ito be copei1ued.)

Thorpe answered nothing. Through
Inc site of the old dam they found q

pond, at the end of which the dilap-
dated wings Tapping in the current at

stood staring ut the current.
Thorpe strobe forward and shook him
violently by the shoulder.

ed hoarsely.

Were you hired to watch this dam,

voice of Thorpe. Answer me, you

shade of aggression creeping into his
voice.
"Well, you've done it we'll. You've
cost me my dam, and you've killed five
men. If the crew finds out about you,
you'll go over the falls sure. You get
out of here! Pike! Don't you ever let
me see your face again.
The man blanched as he thus learned
Of his comrades death. Thorpe thrust
his face at him, dashed by circum-
stances beyond his habitual self con-
troll
"It's men like you who make the
trouble" he stormed. Stupid fools
who say they didn't mean to! 1t isn't
enough not to mean to; they should

DRAINAGE AND DRouGHrs.

An Omaha reader takes exception to
our statement that the drainage of
marshes and lakes in no perceptible
degree diminishes the rainfall Of the
territory where located and that the
cultivation of semiarid region in no
way increases the rainfall, and he pre-
sents some plausible arguments to
show that our contention is wrong.
Here are few facts for our friend to
consider: Lower California is an arid
desert. Still it has the Pacific ocean
Why should it be dry when such an
enormous evaporation under tropical
sun is always In operation? The rec
ords show conclusively that in all the
territory west Of the one hundredth
degree Of west longitude the settle
ment of the country and the cuitiva-
ton Of the soil have in no manner in
creased the average rainfall. Take the
Mississippi valley, the territory which
this statement is intended to cover,
and where does the water come from
which makes up the average Of thirty
to thirty-five inches per annum which
the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Hill
nois and Missouri receive? Take the
state of Iowa, to illustrate. To give
this state one inch of rain would re-
quire .he evaporation of the water of
lake 20 by 271a miles in area and 8
feet in depth or river q mile wide, 8
feet deep and $50 miles in length. The
yearly rainfall of 81 inches in that
state would make lake ITO miles
long, so miles wide and 26 feet deep,
and If all the water in all the rivers,
creeks, lakes, ponds and sloughs in the
state was vaporized and returned to
the earth in the form of rain it would
give less than an inch Of rainfall, Just
a good sprinkle or dew, and that's all.
Now, whence comes the rainfall we
get? From the gulf Of Mexico. The
Mississippi valley, if one could see it
pictured out in relief, would be seen to
be vast trough reaching from north
ern Minnesota to the gulf Of Mexico,
up which the moisture laden clouds are
driven by the south winds, assuring
permanent and reliable rainfall and
making the valley the garden spot Of
America. Had there been range Of
mountains like the Rockies flung
across the lower part of this valley
all that part of it which lay at the
north would have been an arid desert.
For the past two years all the north
ern part of this valley, better drained
than it has ever been before millions
of acres Of swamp lands reclaimed by.
drainage and put under cultivation,
and lake beds converted into corn
fields-has been deluged with such an
excess Of rainfall that all the drainage
done was utterly insufficient to dis
pose Of the surplus water. It is now
well settled that timber grows in any
given territory because it rains there
and that it does not rain because the
timber grows. The facts Justify a
repetition Of the phrase, while drain
age will dry up the earth it will not
dry up the heavens" for the reasons
above stated, -ls
