Governor johnson has been follow

his speechmaking at Vicksburg and

suggest that he would not be adj

the end of the latter's official term.

PELICAN PLUNDERERS.
The Great Birds are Depicting Big Stone
Lake of Bass and Pike.

Apparently loath to leave the open
waters of Big Stone Lake and the
plentiful supply of food which its
fish provide, great flocks of snow
white pelicans seem to have taken
up summer residence here. Their
presence is not altogether pleasing
to anglers, for the big birds are
expert fishermen themselves, and be-
ing voracious feeders the damage
that may be done by a thousand or
more Of them during the season is
worth taking into consideration.
The pelican, in addition to being a
gourmand, is said to be real
connoisseur in fish, and that his pal
ate demands either black bass or
wall eyed pike. He disdains pickerel
or perch. except in times of famine,
while a sucker or a dog fish bears
about the same relation to the peli-
can bill of fare as snake or toad
would to the menu card of a Delmon-
leo.
That the follower of Isaac Walton
has reason for looking with suspi-
cion upon this new tenant Of Big
Stone Lake is found in the fact that
a pelican. in normal health, requires
about ten pounds of fish every "a
hours, which means that the colony
now with US, eats on an average
some 10000 pounds Of the most
choice fish in Big Stone Lake. Now
the average weight of these fish is
not far from 2 pounds each, which
means that 5000 fish are daily sacri-
feed to these impudent strangers,
who, during the month they have
already been at work here have re
duced the fish supply in Big Stone
by at least 1900 fishes, and in
pounds some 100000.
Local sportsmen are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY Of organizing brig
ade of sharp-shooters for the pur-
pose Of killing off these intruders or
of driving them away from Big
Stone Lake. If they are allowed to
remain all summer the havoc they
will accomplish in the fish supply
will be greater than can be repaired
by the state fish commission in 3
score of years. The birds are moi
protected by law so a war of extermi.
nation could be carried on with per.
feet impunity and without fear Of
interference by Game Warden Billy
Burns. The boatmen could well afforc
to put a launch at the service Of ar
expedition having for its purpose
1.-THE dispersal of this enemy, or they
might even afford to pay a small
bounty for every pelican gizzart
brought in.
! Something ought to be done.

Governor Johnson is now entitled

THE FLEA A DISEASE CARRIER

The California flea will be examined
by the Department of Bacteriology of
the State University of California, to
discover if this insect, like the mos
quito, propagates disease. Fleas and
rats on the ships that come into the
port of San Francisco from the Orient
seaports, where a plague is known to
prevail, will be collected by the uni
versity students, taken to the labora-
tories at the State institutions, exam
ined, and classified. The work will
be carried on along the same lines as
the governments labors with the mos
quito. Relieving that rats are also
carriers of tagious diseases, the city
authorities of San Francisco have de-
clared an open war against them. 1t
is determined to eXterminate these ami
mails. Along the miles of water front
and in cellars, Easements, and old
buildings, these animals fairly swarm
and are a great menacing pest. Every
eXpedient will be used to destroy these
creatures root and branch; for it is

they help to distribute contagious

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CONSUME
TON.

The Boston Consumptives' Hospital,
in opening an out-patient department
in Burroughs place for the treatment
of tuberculosis, is extending a practice
with regard to controlling the spread
of the disease that has been approved
and advised by numerous scientific au-
thorities and societies. Even the
women's clubs have for some time
urged that measures be taken by which
people can be instructed in the best
ways to adapt to their home life and
rules and regulations followed at hos
pitfalls and sanatoriums for the arrest
ing or cure of consumption. Those
who are farthest advanced in know1
edge concerning the treatment of
tuberculosis have long been of the
opinion that the way one lives rather
than the place of living may be de-
pended upon to prevent or even to cure
the ailment where cure is possible.
This is the answer to the threatening
quarantine against consumptfves from
the north, recently instituted by stat
ute in Texas and likely to be followed
