THE PROTECTION OF EAGLES.

A correspondent of this paper at Cave Creek few days ago described the prOwess of a young lady of that neighborhoOd who had just killed an eagle. That was something of a feat for an Arizona girl or any other girl to perform but We fear it will not have the full approval of the federal author ities. for says the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
 The American eagle is protected by q special United States statute that makes it a misdemeanOr. punishable by a heavy fine. to shoot or capture the national bird. Dr. H. $. Wende. of Tonawanda, recently came in posses sion of an eagle that was shot through the wing and captured on Grand Is- land. His attention was called to the federal law, which is not generally known, and as soon as the eagle is able to fly it will be returned to the is land. There are four more American eagles in the forest on Grand Island. Special permits are granted by the government to public parks to hold eagles in captivity.
 The protection which the govern ment has thrown about the eagle is partly the outgrowth of sentiment and partly based upon the real danger of the extinction of the eagles which are not numerous and never have been.
 At a time when less was known of the seamy side of the eagles character he was made a national bird. first by the Romans and afterward by modern European nations including the French of the First Empire. Naturalists have since told us that national affection has been misplaced; that the eagle possesses few of the noble attributes which were formerly supposed to be- long to him and that he possesses many attributes which are far from noble.
 However we would not like to see him effaced and for that matter We would like to see him and all the other inhabitants of the air protected against the inhabitants ot the earth.
 We wish that this this protection might be especially thrown over the song birds which do much to make life more nearly worth living.

Only brave man would take such
a stand on a question as ticklish as

the Republican party is the party
capable of accomplishing this re-
form with detriment to the country.
On government control and regula-

in general he takes the same stand

comes closest to being a man after

one who can be depended on to

NOW THE PORCELAIN HOUSE,
New Invention May Make 1t a Build.
ing Observation-Disclosures

The use Of porcelain has long been
known In China, but Is now likely to
make its appearance In western coun-
tries, and we are assured that the por-
celalp house is one of the possibilities
of the near future. It Is made prac-
ticable by the invention of method of
making large sheets of porcelain about
an inch thick, which has the strength
without the bulk of an ordinary brick
built wall. Among It's advantages Is
rapidjty In building. With sheets of
porcelain good sized house can be
constructed In few days. 1t is damp
proof, too, and is, of course, kept clean
at the cost of very little labor. Col
ored glazes take the place of wall
paper, and pictures can be painted in
stead Of being hung on the walls.
Again, 1t is easily portable. A porce-
lain house can be taken down when
the owner desires to move and re-
erected on another site. When 1t
comes, these advantages, combined
With it's cheapness, are bound to make

From the tone of Mr.. Roosevelt's
speeches it is practically certain
that he will ask Congress to pro-
vide for a federal incorporation law.
He seeks still greater control over
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce business, and the feeling
has grown that Mr.. Roosevelt be-
lieves that the incorporation law is
a strong means to the desired end.
The inheritance tax matter also al
most unquestionabIy will have d
place in the Presidents message.
Then also he wishes to strengthen
the emp. oyers' liability act, and to
do some other things. How many OF
these reforms will be enacted into

College Man Tells Of Trouble He Had

II can sympathize with that DR..
Staeler, who taught the Harvard col
lege yell to 200 students Of the Berlin
university" said an old college man.
ITO train the students of one college
in the yell of a rival institution Of
learning Is no easy Job. I once un-
dertook to educate a band of young
sters in the different college yells,
so in case they were ever required to
give a complimentary greeting to in
structors from other colleges, they
would be equal to the occasion. l

Either the boys were physically un-
able to twist their tongues around
strange war cries or loyalty to their
own school held them back; anyv !,
1t required a tremendous amount Of
hammer1ng to bring them to the point
where a visiting professor would
recognize his own yell when he heard
it. That Is why sympathize with
Dr.. Stealer. Having to train students
in a yell In foreign language must
have been an especially hard task"

When News Travelled Slowly.

All of US have heard legends of the
rapidity with which news travelled be-
fore the era of telegraphs by means
which have been compared to the ap-
pie thrown from hand to hand. An
event in the Napoleonic epopee clearly
illustrates how far we have progressed
In this respect during the last hundred
years. On June ID, 1907, the meteoric
emperor defeated the Russians on the
bloody field Of Frfedlend, capturing
10000 prisoners. Only about mid
night on Saturday, June 81, did a
courier reach St. Cloud to convey the
news to Josephine, whose feminine
mind did not penetrate the figurative
significance of the 10000 fusils," and
Paris only learned the news on the
afternoon Of the 28th, when it lost no
time in throwing itself into raptures.
They danced all night through in the
Streets.

TESTING BULLS WITH AUTOS.
How Mexican Learned Whether AMI
nal WA . Fighter.

That the automobile can be used
with great success in determining the
courage Of young bulls intended for
the bull ring has been demonstrated
by Pedro Fernandez Somellera on his
Isidro hacienda in this state The
novel experiment was made few
days ago with a 22-horsepower car,
says Guadalajara letter in the Mex
lean Herald. On all haciendas where
fighting bulls are raised the young
animals are tested" with view to
determining their future fitness for
the bull ring. Those that prove their
courage are marked and left to grow
up for future contests. Up to this
time the tests have been conducted
by men on horseback, armed with
pixies like picadors. But Mr. Somel-
lera, who is an enthusiastic motorist,
this year decided on an innovation by
introducing the motor car in place Of
the horsemen. Accordingly, after
the young bulls had been herded into
large corral, the machine was driven
into the Enclosure. The occupants
were armed with the usual pixies. The
experiment proved an exciting sue
cess. Several of the young bulls
charged the machine at mad speed,
and it was only by clever driving that
the car and its occupants were kept
clear of the horns Of the surprised and
apparently indignant animals The
bulls that attempted to mix with the
automobile have been credited with
exceptional bravery, and they are
expected to bring fame to the San
lsidro hacienda by their future per-
formances In the bull ring.

1t is curious tolsee how the men

presidential possibilities are trying
to be good and to lay aside all
the bad habits thatl they ever may
have acquired. Fairbanks, for in

tempter, the;cocktail, and is direct
ing his presidential boom behind a
bulwark of buttermilk. Uncle Joe
Cannon has reduced his daily con-
sumption Of 2cigars by two-thirds,
and will continue fighting against
the habit untilIshe has it fully con-
quered. Taft has made a plucky
fight against the flesh and has won.
He has always3been fondEoi a good
meal, but discovered iCthat his
tissues absorbed too much of the
good things. Not wishing to go to
the political slaugter house just
yet, he decided to meet the foe at
the banquet hall, conquer it and re-
duce his superhuous adipose.
Hughes, Of New York, is said to
have no bad habits, except that Of
not shaving. But, like lSimpson,
his strength is probably found in
his locks.

Power OF the Waxes

The power Of waves, says M. Broun-
in, in La Nature, is the sum Of two
efforts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement Of the water particles,
the other static, and dependent on the
height OF the center of gravity Of the
mass raised above It's normal position,
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power Of waves Is d.

western road announced that
Los Angeles limited trains Nos.
z and 8 would be put back at
once and the agents all along
the line notified to that effect.
Saturday, however, a new list
of instructions was sent out
that the train had been aband-
oned. Of course there is no
way of ascertaining the why or
wherefore of the deal, but it is
presumed the old tale of "legis-
lative discrimination" will be
given out as the real cause.

Forger Caught Here

A young man, giving the
name of j. D. Wood, was ar
rested in this city Saturday
evening about $3.50 for passing
worthless checks. He passed
one on George Gumb for $1,000
and one on ]. N. Fitzgibbon for
5000, the latter one causing
his arrest by Marshal Butcher.
Fitzgibbon Fecame suspicious
when the check was rendered
him, and had the party watched
while C. H. Deur was hunted
up, as the check was signed by
his name, and when Mr.. Deur
was found he stated that the
check was worthless. The man
was then arrested and placed in
Jail. The prisoner is evidently
about thirty years of age and
was we'll dressed. In his possess
sion were found about $500
worth of checks already signed
upand would no doubt have been
passed in this vicinity. He
had the names of different
business men on his papers and
it is quite evident that he had
been doing a wholesale busi-
ness. Marshal Butcher phoned
to. Logan to notify County At
torney Smith, but it was
learned that he had gone North
this morning and did not come
back until this afternoon.
The prisoner waived examine
ton and was taken to Logan on
the noon train.

In 1905 the Chicago &

23,307,075 pounds of mail on
its route between Chicago and
Omaha, a distance of 489 miles.
For this service it received
SAT-, FOL of which $99,395 was
rental for postal cars. This
made the mail rate between
these two points $3.50 per ton.
The express rate on similar to
mail matter between these two
points was $4,000. Of this the
railroad got one-half or less.
Thus the government paid the

that it rendered the express
