THE FOOLISH BOUNTY SYSTEM.

At every session of every legisla-
ture, in every state of the Union,
some one is sure to bring in bill pro-
viding for paying bounties for the
killing of wolves or foxes or English
sparrows, or for performing other
work Of determination in the sup
posed interest of the agricultural
community. Massa chusetts has dis
bnrsed huge sums in the effort to get
rid of the gypsy moth. The bounty
system has proved to be more costly
than effective, and instances have not
been lacking of individuals who have
deliberately cultivated pests under
the ban of the law, with the object of
collecting the bounty on them.
T. S. Palmer, of the Biological Sur
vey of the Department of Agriculture,
estimates that within the past twenty
ave years there has been expended in
bonnties for the destruction of nox-
ions animals not less than $4,000
vet he declares that there is no in
stance of single species aimed at IL
this way being exterminated or even
sensib1y diminished. The ways in
which treasury leeches take advan-
tage of bounty laws are too numerous
10 mention, but Mr.. Palmer recalls
one which is noteworthy for humor.
A single mule hide in Pennsylvania
ne says, was made to Serve as sca1pE
for three hundred wease1s. States
which offer bountiea sometimes stimu
late a surrsptitious import trade
Some years ago California paid .
bounty of SIS for coyotes, while Ne
yada offered only fifty cents. Cali
fornia was the state that did the bust
ness in coyotes while that disparity
lasted
Mr.. Palmer rightly believes thai
6ounty laws are a waste of money
He suggests that insect pests are the
ones against which the deadliest wal
should be waged, and that the weap
ons should be those that science sup.

Chicago, Waukegan and North
Shore Railway Co. Makes Big
Contract for Wire Fencing
MEANS WORK is TO co AHEAD
Managers of the Company Come tc
Waukegan and Plan to Start
the Work at Once.-A1l Right
of Way Secured.

While much has been heard of the
Chicago, Waukegan and North Shore
Railroad company in the way of con-
domination proceedings, etc., many
persons have been inclined to place
little faith in the project, thinking it
would never materia1ize.
However, recent actions show that
not only is the company to carry
through it's plans, but that the execu-
ton of them may begin in a very
short time. In this connection, it is
ascertained that the company yester-
day let contracts to Waukegan hard
ware concerns for a considerable
amount of wire to be used in fencing
in their right of way between here
and Waukegan. Work started last
year on putting in the fencing all
along the route, but the Job was not
finished. Now it is to be taken up
again and the entire route between
here and Waukegan will be enclosed.
It is one hundred feet wide.
While the public generally does not
know it, the above company now has
a complete right of way between the
city limits of Kenosha and Dow's
mill, at Waukegan. The ,last strip
was obtained about week ago when
piece in Winthrop Harbor was taken
over.
The company has not as yet asked
the city of Waukegan for franchise.
hence while the route there is OBJ
tanned, they have as yet no rights tc
build tracks inside the city limits.
Before they can build there they will
have to get a right across the road
built on the flats to the lake, near the
north limits of the city.
Various things indicate that the
company is getting ready to begin &C
tive construction of their line. The
great amount of money paid out in
getting the right of way and the ex-
pensive condemnation suits, proves
conc1usively that the company means
business.
Where the road will run, south OF
Waukegan, is not known, in fact one
of the men prominently interested in
the project said today that even he
did not know what the promoters
plans call for south of Waukegan. He
said, however, that they would sure
~ build into Chicago, by what route
he knew not.

ARRIVE AFTER LONG JOURNEY
Eighty Men, Women and Children
Reach Zion From Far Away Land.

Yesterday morning eighty men,
women and children from Australia
arrived in Zion City after making the
long trip to reach the new home
which had been held out to them as
an ideal place.
The arrival of the Australians was
made q mite an event at Zion and the
entire populace turned out to meet
them. Dowie and Speicher were
there and it is said that Dowie kissed
the children as they passed by him.
The newcomers we're given their
temporary homes and they are soon
to be assigned permanent places.
It is stated that the dozens of fam1-
lies brought with them all they pos
sess and that it is to be turned over to
Zion to be cared for.
One Australian, man who has left
the Zion fold and who is now as much
against Zion as he was for it before,
said today: "Well, they are very en-
thusiastic now, but wait till some of
us get at them, then they will begin
to open their eyes a bit.''

M'GARRY CASE TO BE DROPPED.

People of the Town of Wheat1and, at a
Special Election, Ban Legal Advice.
The old suit of James McGarry VS..
the Officials of the Town of Wheatland
will probably be discontinued, and
McGarry will receive the damages
awarded to him by the circuit and SUI
preme courts of the state. When the
case was recently returned for trial
by the supreme court under modi-
fed judgment the town officials of
Wheatland had given out the state
ment that the suit would be further
contested, but it was found that many
people in Wheatland we're opposed to
such a course, and the matter was re-
ferred to the voters at special cleo
ton. The vote has just been counted
and shows that the proposition to
continue the suit was lost by vote of
SIS to As. This means that the suit
will be dropped.

plain talk on the Chicago strike riots,
President Do1an of the United Mine
Workers says: THE president never
uttered truer words than when he said
that the laws had to be obeyed by rich

while the president is in favor of
nnions, he will not tolerate lawless-
ness which is perpetrated under the
gnise of unionism. 1t is high time
that the union men, at least some Of
them, realize the fact that strikes and
the general disorder that usually fol-

THE council has decided to throw
out ali bids on the sewer contra cts
and commerce all over again by adj
vertising for new bids. III the judg-
ment of the majority of the aldermen
this is the only way out Of the predic-
ament in which the city finds itself as
the result of the failure of some of the
bidders to comply with all the speci-
flcations laid down by the council for
the guidance Of the contractors. The
delay is unfortunate, as a good many
building plans are waiting on the
signing of the sewer contracts, the
prospective investors naturally wish
ing to know just exactly "where they
are at" before beginning operations.
But under the circumstances it could
not we'll have been avoided. The con-
tractors who intend to submit new
bids should be given to understand
that the best evidence of good faith
that they can give the council and the
taxpayers will be to have the new bids
conform in every particular to the
specifications, SO that there can be no
chance of another failure to award
the contract.

Kenosha to Have a Commandery of
the knights Temp1ar Soon.
It is probable that Commandery
of the Knights Templar will be or
ganized in Kenosha at an early date,
as prominent members Of the local
Masonic lodges have made app1ica-
ton for charter for a Commandery
in Kenosha. 1t is stated that there
will be a large number of members
for the new Commandery as soon as
the charter is secured.
At the present time there are about
twenty members of the knights Tenn
p1ar order in Kenosha, but they hold
membership in the Racine Comman-
derry. The recent opening of the Ma
sonic Home has given great impetus
to the plans to secure Commandery
for Kenosha, and the plans will un-
doubtedly be carried out IN the very
near future.
