AFRICAN GAME FOR AMERICA
RAN 70 Bring to Southwest Thirty
Species of Rare Reanta.

Plan to Bring to Southwest Thirty
Species of Rare Beasts.
With the personal Endorsement Of the
president of the United States and the
hearty approval of the Los Angeles
chamber Of commerce, one of the most
interesting moves ever made by public
spirited men in the southwest is soon
to be started. says the Los Angeles
Times.
1t Is for the transplanting of thirty
species OF African game animals to our
preserves. Congress will be asked to
set apart portions Of the forest reserves
as perpetual United States sanctuary,
and when this is done the importation
will Immediately commence.
Money is not wanting for the COM
plete contamination Of the scheme. At
present $4,000 awaits the word of the
projectors, and all or any part Of it
may be used in bringing the game to
the United States and establishing it
upon healthy footing. Not more than
a third Of the proposed thirty species
will be introduced at the start, other
rarer varieties being brought in later.
as fast as conditions warrant.
For the high mountains is proposed
the tropical chamois, a beautiful crea
ture, somewhat different from the
Swiss chamOis, but better adapted to
this climate. Then will come the BUSH
box, an African animal the size Of the.
black tailed deer. The flesh of this
creature is good to eat, and its hide
makes leather of extraordinary tough
ness, worth probably five times as
much as ordinary leather. The Beers
use it for the extreme ends or "crack.
ers" of their great fifty foot whips.
For the open plains country the
springbok will be bought There will
be different varieties for different altt-
tudes, and as the species is very hardy
it is expected that there will be NO
trouble in preserving the species. This
Is the species for which congress has
appropriated the money to the Wichita
reserve, and the first experiment will
be tried there. The local promoters.
however, will procure their animals d.
rect from South Africa, working in
conjunction with Gardner Williams.
The mountain reedbok will be i'm
ported for the foothills 1t will stand a
considerable amount of heat and is
about the size of deer. Another foot
hill creature will be the greater koo-
doc, magnificent animal the size OF
the elk, weighing 400 to 500 pounds,
with great spiral horns. Yet another il

koodoo, black in color, with dainty

AMERICAN CLIPPERS FEAT,

Dtsmantled In a TyphOon, She Cross
ed Two Seas With a Jury Rig.
The famous American clipper ship
A. G. Ropes arrived in New York re-
Gently under jury rig from Kobe, ia
pan, by way of Suez, says the New
York Times. Her arrival marked the
first successful attempt in the history
of the American merchant marine to
bring the dismantled hull Of a fun
rugged ship across two seas.
The voyage Of the Ropes began last
December. She had poked her nose
into terrific typhoon and in weather
ing it had lost everything above her
decks. Previous to the typhoon the
Ropes was famous in every maritime
exchange of the world as one Of the
fastest sailing vessels ever turned out
of an American yard. Her speed rec
ords include races that have taken her
several times around the world.
After her terrible experience in the
typhoon the Ropes drifted helplessly
for four days, her skipper, Captain Riv-
ers, who was still in command when

morning, having almost given up hope
of ever getting what was left Of his
ship to port The crew was meanwhile
in despair.
For several days the Ropes drifted
about, and then a ship was sighted.
Her master, after a lot of dickering,
agreed to take the ship in tow for $500.
This offer Captain Rivers accepted and
the Ropes was towed into Kobe, Japan.
There she was sold at auction, the pur-
chaser being the Luckenbachs Of New
York. A jury rig was fixed up, and
under this the Ropes started for New
York When the ship passed in her
crew said she was in just as good
shape as the day she left Kobe, six
| months ago.
The Ropes was built in 1884, Is 25O

SPEED LIMITS.

William McCallog of Portland, Ore,

orders to shoot at automobiles which
exceed the speed limit. Perhaps this
will do some good, but it is a rather
severe commentary on the construction
of the speed limit by many AUTOMOBILE
lists that they must be shot at before
they will consent to let up.
Many sensible owners and drivers of
automobiles are unable to understand
the prejudice against the machine.

ARIZONA AND STATEHOOD.

The presidents letter urging that
Arizona vote for joint statehood with
New Mexico has been Endorsed by a
number of conservative journals, in
GLIDING the New York Tribune. The
latter argues that so long as congress
has not passed upon the question of
separate admission, it was good poll
ties for Arizona to perfect her case and
reinforce her claims to single state
hood, but that, congress having de-
clined to admit the validity Of the ar
gument, the thing for Arizona to do is
to accept the situation as it is and to
lose no time in voting herself into the
union. The only question at issue, it
declares, IS the practical one whether
statehood is more to be desired than a
The validity of this argument de-
ponds greatly on whether the doors OF
single statehood are forever shut upon
Arizona If the territory could be con-
WINGED of that it would probably accept
the merger state in the belief that half
loaf is better than no congressional
bread. But is it necessary to accept
this doctrine? There will be other con-
crosses. The case for Arizona is grow
ing all the time The territory is &C
quiring more American population
every day. Its resources are becoming
better understood every year. The
territory is doing very we'll under her
present laws and is quite as content as
a territory can be. Union with New
Mexico would involve becoming the
junior partner in an association in
which Arizona would contribute supe-
riority in everything except in num-
bers and in which she would see her
self, her plans and her ideals, dictated
by good Americans, overwhelmed by
| the New Mexican horde which does not
even speak English. To accept state
| hood under such conditions would be
bitter for Arizona and she would do il
only when convinced that no other
| road into the union was open.
