Lovers of the splendid buffalo, the
most typical animal of all America,

one of the grandest creatures on

heard with sadness that the Pablo

Montana, has been sold TO the
Canadian government. The bulls

May 1, and the COWS and calves will
be sent North in July. There are be-
tween 400 and 500 buffaloes in the
herd, which is the largest in the
world.
Thus passes to another govern

the pride of our own to retain. How
could the pitifuI S15o,OOO, the price
said to have been paid by Canada,
have been permitted to stand in the
way of our retention as national
property of this splendid and I'M

we have are privately owned and
are thus liable to the changes of
time, the whims of heirs, or the
needs of sudden poverty. The buff
falo cannot be regarded as safe
from extinction until large and in
creasing herds are owned by the
government forever. Canada sees

Steamship lines by n. III. Campbell. the
treasurer, that the company would de-
fault on the interest on its s60.000000 coll
lateral trust bonds, due today. The OFF,
cial statement explains the reasons fcr
the default.
"The inability OF the company TO make
the payment OF interest on its bonds
on the above date Is chiefly due TO the
fact that while IL has made most substan-
tial earnings, after paying interest on the
underlying bonds and all other interest
and general charges. owing TO the pre-
vailing fnacial conditions. II has been
