Talks on State Affairs.
While here Mr.. Root has conversed on
matters of International import with Mr..
Borden, leader OF the opposition in parlia-
ment, and Mr.. A. B. Aylesworth, minister
of justice. The latter was associated with
Mr. Root three years ago on the Alaska
boundary commission at London, and they
had many matters of mutual interest to
talk over.
Mr. Root has also had good opportunity
to talk with the premier on Canadian and
United States affairs. Although the con-
versation was, of course, informal 1t will
doubtless result In good. There are q
variety of subjects more or less of an irri-
tating character which might be settled
between the two countries without having
any recourse to such tribunals ms the
Alaska affair. 1t Is no secret that Canada
wants to avoid anything of that kind.
What Canada fears Is being drawn before
a tribunal outside her own borders. and
having to submit not only to the loss OF
territory, but humiliation as well. with the
only recourse left for the Canadian minor
ity on the tribunal to enter protest. Trade

court Of California in the case Of the east

apex IL on its own ground. when It ex-
tends under the surface OF the other COM
pany's ground, which adjoins. The action
was brought by the Central Eureka Com
pany to secure an Injunction against inter-
ference with this right. 1t was granted by
the California. courts, and that action was
sustained by this decision. which was an
nounced by Justice Holmes The particu-
lar question involved was the effect of a
lack of parallelism in the end lines Of a

evening at a meeting of the board of direct
ors Of the Y. M. c. A. held in the board
room in the association building. A de-
crease in the cost Of membership in the
association was also determined upon.
President 8. w. woodward presided at
the meeting. The improvements referred
to have been contemplated for some time,
and it was hoped that both the second and
third floors could be remodeled. But the
board decided to change only the second
hoor, making that into large assembly
room. New lockers will be installed for
the gymnasium and new features will be
added for the pleasure Of the boys.
When the discussion in regard to mem
bership dues was taken up it was pointed
out that 1t would be better to have the
association more generally used, even
though each member paid less for the privi-
lege; and to accomplish that 1t was decided
to lower the membership rates in the vari-
GUS classes: For full membership. which
now costs $40, the cost was made SIS; and
on renewal that price will be reduced 81
each year until 1t becomes $12 per year,
which will be the rate for continuous mem,
bership. This membership entities to all
general privileges, with the use of the gym
nasium. dormitories, tennis courts. baths,
swimming pool, lockers, games, etc.
For general membership, the new rate
will be IS, which will entitle members to
the general privileges of the association.

laid for bringing the new rates to the at

ARRIVALS AT THE zoo
CUTE LITTLE BINGO PUPPY
AMONG THE NEWCOMERS.

The infant class at the National Zoologi-
cal Park has received another addition, It
being what is described as a cute little
bingo puppy. The bingo Is the noted wild
dog Of Australia, about which many thrill
ing stories have been written. The baby
bingo Is reported to be doing well, and has
become favorite with the juvenile visitors
to the Zoo.
A valuable recent addition to the deer
family at the park is a young American
antelope, just received from Kansas. It Is
said to be fine specimen and the only
American antelope in the collection Of deer.
These animals are reported to be very
scarce, and it is difficult to keep them in
captivity. The last member of the family
at the Zoo lived five years, but for more
than a year the park has been without
specimen of the American family
Another recent arrival is a jack rabbit,
from Buffalo Center, Iowa. In the extreme
west steps are being taken to exterminate
the jack rabbits because of their destruc-
tiveness to trees. In that connection. 1t IL
stated that the Department Of Agriculture
Is taking decided steps for the extermina-
ton of the coyotes that abound in the far
west. The coyote is a member of the wolf
family, and Is said to be extremely cow
ardly in the presence of man or animals of
prowess. His forte is sheep killing, and
there are cases on record where a pack of
coyotes have destroyed large locks Of sheep
in single night. They are referred to a
great menace to herders, and have caused
the loss of many thousands of dollars an
nually by their destruction Of fiocks. The
specimens Of the coyote at the Zoo are said
to be hardy, and the female members of the
colony are rearing many young that were
bred in captivity.
During the present cold spell of weather
the authorities Of the Zoo have had an op-
portunity Of testing the recently installed
central heating plant for the new animal
house, and they say 1t has worked satisfac-
torily and given the place tropical tenn
perature where desired.
