THE MERGANSER WILD DUCK.

One, Of the most beautiful Of wild
ducks, with its dark, glossy green head,
rich, salmon colored breast and strong
ly marked wings, its voracious fish
eating habits make the Merganser USE
less for food and thus an object but
little troubled by sportsmen. A large
number of local names such as the goo
sander, the she!ldrake, saw-bill, diving
goose, the weaser, have attached them
selves to this large, handsome swim
mer that studiously avoids man, even
though no sportsman would trouble
him, and that eludes pursuit by the
most remarkable feats of diving and
swimming. Eating is the chief object
in life for the Merganser. who fire.
quently swallows a fish so large that
it can not descend into the stomach,
but must remain partially in the dis

to always leave the bird with vora-
cious appetite and drive it to desper-
ate rashness to secure it's prey.
Swift currents with deep pools whelt

where they leap are the delight of the
Merganser. whose marvellous diving and
swimming enable them to take heavy

toll from the finny tribes. Cold has

The government also has in it's pos.
session numerous counterfeits of for

soma English and French. The gov.
eminent holds that it is as great a
crime to falsify or counterfeit foreign
obligations as it is to counterfeit our
own.
One Of the features Of this curious
collection is the number of advertise

stamps lint the government officers de-
termined to take charge Of them.

for themselves, repayment Tor the
cost of, which is provided at low rates
Of interest.
Mr.. Haggard expresses himself as
extremely well satisfied with the re-
mlts seen. at the Fort Romie settle
ment in California, and the Fort
Amitv settlement in Colorado. The
Ohio settlement he leaves out of con-
sidera ton, as it is principally devoted
to the redemption Of inebriates, and
the carrying out Of agricultural expert
ments. At both Forts Romie and
Amity, he found the settlers healthy,
happy, hopeful and almost without
exception doing well. Beginning In
nearly every case with nothing; in the
course of about four years at Fort Ro-
ME, he found these settlers worth
about $4,000 per head, above all their
debts and liabilities to the Salvation
Army and others, and at Fort Amity,
nm average Of over $1,000 a head,
which he thinks is more than they
could have possibly accumulated dur
ing the same period as day laborers on
the land or in the cities.
Reason For Wide Encouragement.
It is true that, although the set
tiers themselves are doing well the
Salvation Army, for the reason that
unexpected difficulties in the OPEN
ing up of the land were encountered,
was called upon to pay some $4,000
for it's experience. Mr.. Haggard de-
clares, however, that under all the cir
cumstances, and in the face of the
principles demonstrated, and the sue
cess won in every other direction, this
experience has been very. cheaply
bought.
Further" he says, "I cannot see
any cause to fear a repetition Of that
loss in the future application Of these
principles. 1t Is therefore totally in
accurate to say, as has been done
widely in press summaries of my re-
port, that these settlements are fnan-
cially failure"
Would systematic Philanthropy.
Mr. Haggard proposes a scheme,
e." to combine judicious use of
the public credit, with that of what L
have called, the waste forces of be-
nevolence,' and by means of these
two levers, to lift some of the mass of
human misery, which demonstrates
itself in the great cities Of civilization,
to new level of plenty and content
ment"
He believes that if settlements are
carried out on these lines, and espec.
tally If they are located upon good
land, which has cost the controlling
authorities little or nothing, there
should be, as is indicated by the ta-
pies furnished in this report, no loss,
Out even considerable gain.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1905-11-17

The periodical destruction of coun
terfeit currency, spurious coin, post
age stamps, revenue stamps and other
contraband material captured from
colnterfeiters by the secret service
has been ordered by the Secretary Of
the Treasury. The accumulation of this
stuff in the treasury is larger than
usual. Three clerks in the cash room
Of the treasury have been delegated
a committee to see that this queer
money is done away with.
Every two or three years so much
counterfeit money and. counterfeiting
tools and implements accumulate in the
office Of Chief Wilkie, Of the secret serv-
ice, that it is necessary to destroy it.
The chief notifies the Secretary of the
Treasury. who issues an order which
