PUBLIC FISHING ...-HTs.
There Is General Belief That the
I Game of Country Belongs
to the People.

There has been very interesting
question brought up in Colorado with
regard to the rights of a person to
fish in streams stocked by the state,
and 1t is claimed by Mr.. Melville, a
lawyer, that the constitution afirms
the public ownership of the water of
the natural streams of the state and
that the legislature has publicly at.
'flrmed the public ownership of the fish
in the state. From early times until
the present, writes Dan Beard, in Rec.
reation, legislatures have appropriated
large sums of public funds for the pur.
pose Of stocking these waters with the
choicest Of fish. The members of the
legislature appropriating such funds
believe that the public has right to
go into and upon such streams and
have the pleasure and profit of such
fish from such a stream.
This seems to be good, sound, natur
al law, and accords with Recreattion's
politics, for Recreation has always
claimed that the game Of country be
longed to the people Of the country and
not to the landlords The landlords do
not create game The landlords only
right to the use of the land comes from
the public consent, inasmuch as he
could have no possible valid title orig
mating from any other source, conse
quently he can only own the right te
thetuse of the land which the public
agrees shall be under his control. and
as the public has never consented OF
agreed that the game or fish should be
the private property of the landlord, it
is evident that he has no natural, le
gal, moral or ethical right to the game
as landlord, but only general right
as one individual Of the public which
owns the game and fish of the coun
fry

WAR ON TOBACCO IN VAIN
English Kings and the Church Are
Unable to Stop Growing Of
the Weed.

Tobacco raising In England has a
varied and checkered history First
introduced there in 1865, the Eliza
bethan courtiers soon cultivated a lik-
ing for 1t. Ere long the common peo-
pie followed their example, and smok-
ing became a universal habit among
the English. They began to import
large quantities Of the Virginian weed
and soon after learned to grow 1t for
themselves. When the British agri-
culturists had mastered the art of rails
ing tobacco at home and conquered the
climatic difficulties at first encountered
in producing it, the practice of smok-
ing was denounced in court.
James I. issued counterblast to the
weed. Charles /. was no less opposed
to 1t. He also adopted strong meas
ures to discourage its use and prevent
its cultivation. The church likewise
took up arms against smoking. In
spite of the royal edicts against to-
bacco 1t continued to be grown sur
reptitiously to large extent.
Charles II. imposed such a heavy
duty on the native article as, it was
thought, would have the effect of ex-
GLIDING it from British crops. The in
creased tax, however did not prevent
large numbers from being Independent
Of foreign countries for their supply
Of this commodity In those days it
was not as easy for the officials to
make long tour of inspection as it is
now. Eventually, in 1882, a law was
passed making it illegal to grow to-
bacco in any quantity in England.
The same law, Of course, applied to
Scotland and Ireland. In the latter
country tobacco has traditions char
acteristically its own.

SAVING SUGAR FROM BUGS
Hawaiians Import Sandwich Island
Insects to Fill Lice That In
fest Plants.

In the Sandwich islands they are
protecting sugar by studying certain
varieties of insects that have manifest
ed more interest in sugar consumption
than rebounds to the welfare of hui
man trade in that article. The insects
are leaf heppers, jumping relatives and
enemies Of common plant lice, and
what with their belligerencies with
these, their kindred, and with the mi
mute dryinidae, WHO attack and poster
them, lead a life free from all mo-
notony.
The Hawaiians have allied them
selves with the dryinids, importing the
latter in large numbers, in order to
assist in keeping down the leaf hep
pers, but at present only with par
tial success, owing to the fact that
some Of the introduced kinds do not
prey on these insects. Any leaf hep
per attacked by a dryinid may be
reckoned as good as dead, for even
the contents of its head and eyes are

Ponlars in Search Of water.

The. thirsty roots of row Of poplar
trees in Traverse City made it necessary
to take up and replace the tile drain
which the trees choked and in some in
stances destroyed. Seeking for water
the roots struck out for the sewer.
Baked by resistance, but not discour-
aged they travelled alongside, searching
for weak or imperfect joints through
which to enter, and when such were
found they promptly occupied them, the
roots knotting up like den of snakes
in winter quarters. In one instance sew
eral roots travelled side by side many
feet, inspecting every inch of pipe along
the way for a weak joint in the de-
fenses.-Detroit News.

PANAMA CANAL
A Movement on Foot to
Abolish The Com.
mission.
PRESIDENT FAvORS IT

Washington, Jan. 8. - There is a
well defined movement on foot to Sc
cure legislation during this session Of
congress that will abolish the 18th
mian canal commission and place the
direct construction of the Panama
canal under the supervision of board
of engineers, of which Chief Engi-
neer Wallace is to be the executive
head, and the other members, three
in number ara to be consulting en-
gineers.
1t is understood that Secretary OF
War Taft, who made recent visit
to the isthmus under direction of the
president has recommended the abol-
ition of the commission, which will
include the retirement of Governor
General Davis of the canal zone.
There is a slight prospect of any
canal legislation this session although
it is known that President Roosevelt
feels strongly in favor of the adop-
ton by congress of some working
plan under which more satisfactory
progress can be made. The admins.
tration favors an amendment to the
present Spooner law embodying the
reorganization outlined.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE
SUIT BROUGHT BY AN ATTORNEY
AGAINST HIS CHARMING
BRIDE

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 3.-Social
circles in Huntington, and in fact
throughout the entire Southern section
of the state are agog tonight over the
divorce suit entered here late this af-
ternoon by attorney Hal Marcum
against his wife, who is conceded to
be the belle of the city.
The wedding of Marcum occurred
about one year ago, his bride being
the only daughter of Rev William
Seymour Winans, Jr., pastor of one of
the most aristocratic churches in
Brooklyn, N. Y. The bride, charm
ing blonde, left for New York to spend
the holidays with her parents and it
was while there that young Marcum
sent her message announcing that he
no longer desired her company as
wife and helpmate. Marcum late this
evening entered the suit and his wife
will tomorrow file counter petition.
Owing to the prominence of the par
ties the affair has caused a great sem
sation in state society. Marcum is the
only son of Senator James II. MarCum,
and it was while he was attending the
state university at MorgantOwn that
he met Miss Winans, who was there
taking voice culture. No state func-
tion of prominence has been complete
without their presence during the past
year.

he will not be prepared to fight the

THREE TRACTION LINES
PLACED IN HANDS OF A RECEIv-
ER-PART OF THE APPLE
YARD SYSTEM.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 3.-The United
States circuit court here tonight plac-
ed the Columbus, London and SPRING

Street Railway company of Column
bus in the hands of receivers. All
three roads are part of the system that
Arthur Appleyard, the Boston capital
lst has been developing in Central
Ohio in the past five years.
The Central Market line is a city
road, 16 miles in Columbus. The 9th
ers are inter-urban lines with mil
cage of so miles each. All three have
large bonded and floating debts and
the appointment of receivers was to
avoid trouble from creditors, who were
threatening proceedings. The General
Electric company, which supplied
equipment was the mover in the pro-
eeedings against the Central Market,
and the Columbus, London and Spring
field lines.
Horace W. Power representing cas-
tern creditors entered the suit against
the Dayton, Springfield and Urbana
road. By consent of the roads judg-
ments we're entered against each of
them for $4,000 previous to the ap-
pointment of receivers. The receivers
named are Myron H. Wilson of Cleve-
and and Jacob G. Schmidtlapp of Gin
cinnati, both prominent bankers and
business men.
