 Alfred H. Dunham, game warden for Alaska. says there should be a game preserve in this district and he will en- deavor to get congress to act upon the matter next winter. Mir.

An indiscrimi- nate slaughter of wild life is going on all the time, and it ought to be stopped ormany of the finest breeds of both birds and animals will become extinct. They are killed in great numbers for sport, and in killing them for gain most wasteful methods prevail. For example, the Indians slaughter deer by the wholesale and merely cut out the tongues, which they sell for good prices. Other specimens of wild life are wasted in the same way"

Will Build It.
(Boise Statesman.)

1t is proclaimed to the world by the
people Of the Clearwater basin that
they will have railway through that
section with an independent connec-
ton to sea level At Lewiston a great
mas meeting has been held, at which
it was resolved to put forth every
effort to bring about the construction
Of road over the prairie with a line
Of independent boats to take the traffic
down the river.
From the manner in which those
people have taken hold of the problem
there would seem to be good reason
for anticipating that they will be sue
cessful With road Of the kind pro-
posed the products of that basin could
be landed at Lewiston at minimum
cost. while the boat line would take
them down the river at comparatively
small expense. When the Cello canal
shall have been constructed the boats
will be able to run directly to Port
land. giving a through line for the bus
mess with the single transfer at Lew
iston.
Lewiston Is the natural gateway tr
all that rich region. There is no other
way in which traffic can be taken out
without climbing heavy grades fol
long distances. From the city to the
sea there is water grade and q river
large enough to float the business at al
| seasons. Traffic should find it's wa,
/ over that route as naturally as waite
runs down hill. but such conditions
have been established by the exigencie
of railway management that the natu
raj advantages have to be ignored.
The plan adopted by the people 0
the region involves utilization of tn
advantages which nature sas prepares
and 1t should therefore be entirely sue
cessful.
