SORTING OUT THE IMMIGRANTS.

ADVOCATE DEER PRESERVE
Upper Peninsula sportsmen Are In
Favor OF Its Establishment.

sportsmen at sault Ste. Marie are
advocating the establishment OF a

Is for the state TO acquire a tract

The wolves. the greatest enemy OF the
deer. would also be thus kept out and
the deer would have a chance TO in
crease in numbers. At any time the
state might see fit a certain number
OF deer could be released from the en-
closure. The argument advanced by
the advocates OF this plan Is that the
upper peninsula would thus have a
breeding place for the deer that
would prove a continual source OF sup
ply. II something OF this kind is not
done. they argue. II will not be many
years before deer become very scarce

EXAMPLE OF CORPORATE GREED
Rights Of People Openly Dlsregarded
by Pennsylvania Railroad.

Gov Dawson has addressed the ma
tional senate through Senator Till.
man in regard TO the railway and coal
trust that has West Virginia by the
throat.
The response OF the Interstate com
merce commission TO the Gillespie
resolution showed that the Pennsyl-
Yania railroad does not legally own
controlling part OF the stock OF the
Baltimore and Ohio. the Chesapeake
and Ohio, or the Norfolk and Western.
Gov. Dawson Is doubtless right In say
ing that the Pennsylvania practically
controls all these lines. This puts
the coal industry OF West Virginia,
which Is one OF the leading industries
OF the state. al It's mercy, and here,
as elsewhere, monopoly IS the parent
OF grave abuses. The Pennsylvania
and its subsidiary lines are in the coal
mining business. The three subsid.
iary lines are the only routes by
which West Virginia coal can get TO
market In making rates the controll-
ing company naturally favors its own
mines OF the subsidiary lines as
against those OF independent opera
tors. In both cases the best interests
OF the people OF West Virginia are
sacrificed TO corporate greed.
The disregard shown for the lawful
rights OF Independent operators is
illustrated by the Red Rock Fuel com
pany matter. This company has 1000
acres OF valuable coal lands on the
line OF the Baltimore and Ohio. IL
charged that the road Disseminated

Baltimore and Ohio TO furnish the
facilities needed for taking care or It's

consequence, the coal company has
had 20 carry the case 20 the United
