MY TRIP TO SANTA CATALINA ISLAND.
Having made up our minds TO start for a trip to
Santa Catalina Island off California. got our
baggage ready to stay a few days
Catalina Island is about twenty-eight miles out
IN the Pacific Ocean. a little southwest OF San
Pedro. The latter town is the port for Los An
geles The island is about thirty miles long with
G rocky coast most Of its shores.
At last the vessel started, and we had a rough
but pleasant voyage fer about five hours
On rounding point OF land the little town Of
Avalon became visible. Numerous boats and
launches lay in its small but wonderful bay.
The steamer landed d pier which extended
some distance out from the shore
After landing left our luggage at the hotel
and then went for while.
That day passed quickly.

tains. says the Kansas City Journal
There is a great forest reserve in the
hills OF southwestern Oklahoma set aside
by congress many years ago. Ii contains
$4,000 acres Of land excellently adapted
for the big and little game which former
ly was so plentiful in America. There
are broad pastures In this reserve and
thickets OF scrub oak, heavy timber.
clear and ever living streams Of water
and rocky Businesses. Vegetation Is
abundant; the climate is salubrious Ap-
parently nature has done its best TO make
these $4,000 acres a congenial haunt for
game animals and a grand, attractive
park for sportsmen and the seekers after
rest and recreation.
Many OF the beasts and birds which
abounded in plain and wood in this coun-
try short time ago are doomed TO an
carly extinction unless the state and
federal governments take the proper
steps to assure protection. Except for
the few head still remaining in public
or private reservations, the buffalo has
been practically wiped out Of existence
For some unaccountable reason civil
ization took a prejudice to this noble
animal. Its value was never given a
fair test until within recent years. II
has now been found that the buffalo pro-
pagates quickly. grows rapidly, is hardy
and self-sustaining upon the plains. its
hide makes fine leather. and its flesh is
equal In flavor and strength given quail
tiles to that of ordinary beef In fact.
the buffalo is the native cattle Of this
country, just as the Herefords. the CAL
loways and the Holsteins are the native
cattle of Europe.
The buffalo is docile creature, easily
domesticated. and very probably had we
not been so attached by custom to Eu-
ropean things we should have developed
II into the regular beef producer of this
country. Wherever 1t has been inter-
bred with domestic cattle, an improved
product has resulted. more able to re-
sist disease and withstand the iIclem-
encies OF American weather.
The chief purpose of the men who are
striving to have the Wichita forest re-
serve turned into game preserve is 10
secure place where the remnants of the
buffalo herds can be collected and saved
from extermiI alton II is TO be hoped
that they will obtain favorable action
from congress In aid Of this laudable
undertaking.

BLANK BALLOT MYSTERY.
How the Thousands of Them Lost NJ
New York Elections Are
Accounted For.

At the recent election z. 100 citizens OF
New York county and ] 200 voters In
the other counties Of the Greater New
York cast blank ballots. There are
usually about 5000 blank ballots cast,
reports the Sun of that city.
Itmay seem peculiar that several thou
sand citizens each year should take the
trouble TO appear at the places OF regis
try to answer the questions necessary
for the enrolment of their names, to at
tend the polling place on election day
and all for the apparent purpose Of cast
Ing a blank vote. counting for neither
party nor for any candidate. when pre-
cisely the same result could be attained
by remaining away from the polls for
registration OF voting.
A blank ballot. as defined by the cleo
ton code. is one which contains no mark
of indication whatever of the purpose
or intention OF the voter II is ballot
which is returned to the election In
spectors in precisely the same condition
as II was given to the voter.
Why do 1000 or 1900 persons each
year in New York go through the un-
necessary formality of voting blank bal
lots? II is one of the questions which
no one has been able to answer. though
there are some explanations OF II which
are at least reasonable
There are some illiterate men who are
timid about revealing their illiteracy,
and they avoid the risk OF doing so by
voting blank. Then there are citizens
unconcerned In the outcome Of an elss-
ton who are induced to register and to
vote They do vote. but their indiffer-
ence to the result Is revealed in blank
ballot.
There are. again. those who become
ratified in the polling place and find es-
cape from their perplexity by returning
the ballot given them folded but un-
marked to the inspectors.
Three thousand blank votes in total
Of 600 900 is half Of one per cent. OF the
whole vote cast
