Other big game in the Grand
Island preserve is a herd of elk.
Originally it numbered eleven, but
since brought to the island three
years ago it has largely increased,
the elk being a prolific breeder.
During certain seasons of the
year men are employed by the
company to carry on a war of ex-
termination against the fox, mink
and other small animals which
prey upon the game birds. The
beaver, however, is allowed to
propagate, and many specimens
have been brought to the island
and given the freedom of its sever
al streams. The native, or ruffled
grouse, are plentiful in all parts of
the preserve, and the spruce hen,

MISS0URrS HIDDEN LAKE
A Remarkable Body Of Water in the
Heart Of the 0zarks.

In Oregon county, Mo, and
Fulton county, Ark, are grouped
Grand gulf, Mammoth spring and
Spring river. Grand gulf is the
browning wonder of the group.
The shallow streams, about one
fourth of a mile distant from each
other, flowing in the same direc-
ton over an elevated plateau, sud
denly drop into canyons form a
junction half a mile below, where
they strike a mountain that has
been tuneled by the action of the
water, and the natural bridge thus
formed is no less a curiosity and
almost equal in size to the famous
natural bridge of Virginia.
After passing through this
mountain the united stream
strikes another mountain and tun-
nels for several hundred feet and
then spreads out into an immense
underground lake, the area of
which has never been ascertained.
Many parties have entered the
tunnel and picnics have been held
by torchlight on the margin of the
lake, but still it remains a mystery.
No light can exist long over the
bosom of the lake and nothing can
be heard save the far away rumble
of the waters as they rush on.
This underground lake is a re-
servoira which supplies Mammoth
spring, the largest spring i'll the
world, with 600 cubic feet of
water a minute. The most surpris-
ing feature in connection with
this extraordinary natural curiosi-
ty is the fact that when these great
canons are filled even to the arch
of the natural bridge, hundreds of
feet deep, the volume increased.
Mammoth spring covers eighteen
acres of ground 200 feet deep with
crystal water.

ny our sIeCial correspondent.
When the legislative, executive
and judicial bill comes up before
the Senate this week, the amend
ment to it providing for an in
crease in the salary of members of
Congress from $1,000 to $1,000 a
year, may not meet with a kindly
reception, Judging from the senti-
ment that exists in the upper
House now. There is a feeling in
that body to resent the plan OF
putting the burden in this matter
on the Senate, after the House re.
fused to assume the responsibility.
AS is we'll known, when the bill
was up in the House it failed OF
passing because members feared
that their constituents might raise
the cry OF salary grab" such as
took place a number of years ago
when the same proposition was
made to increase the pay of Con-
gressmen. 1t would seem, how
ever, from the numerous letters
received by different Representa-
tives and which were written by

Philippine Roads,

Reports from the Philippines inform
US that the conversion of impossible
trails into good highways is proceed
ing rapidly, and the work is being done
by native convicts in charge Of white
officers, says Motor News. The lack OF
ordinarily decent roads has been one
of the most serious drawbacks to deyel-
opment of our island possessions In
that 1t was impossible to transport
products from the interior at anywhere
near figure which left a fair profit to
those who handled the stuff at the
coast. Present information leads us to
believe that the farslghted policy now
being followed is to be continued, with
the result, perhaps, that the Philippines
will possess Il network Of splendid
highways long before such results are
reached In the United States.

GRAND ISLAND GAME PRESERVE
Elk. Moose and Caribou, Pheasants
and Grouse Found in Native
State.

Excepting only Yellowstone
Park, Grand Island, in Lake Su-
perior, is the largest and most
complete game preserve in the
United States. Nesting in the
water of the great inland sea, this
picturesque native woodland, with
rockbound shores, is a veritable
gem OF nature.
Grand Island resembles in shape
transposed outline of the state
OF Louisiana, but here the similar
ity ends. The island contains but
$1,000 acres, or about twenty
square miles. 1t is ten miles long
and four miles wide.
It's unbroken forests of pine and
hardwood have been converted
into game preserve in which
nearly every species of game ami
NAL and bird native to this latitude
can now be found in its native
state. The physical nature of the
island is especially favorable for
the project.
Over half the coast line is bound
ed by perpendicular cliffs rising to
an elevation of from forty to $50
feet above the level of Lake SUI
perior, forming a perpetual barrier
against escape. In some places
along the coast line these minla-
ture mountain ranges are broken
by deep ravines and gulches, which
in most cases are sequestered val
legs of singular loneliness.
Where these valleys open an ex-
1t to the lake, game fences have
been built to prevent animals from
gaining access to the mainland by
swimming the channel in summer
or crossing the ice in the winter
season. At point two and a half
miles north of the southern ex-
tremity of the island a game fence
twelve feet in height and extend
ing east and west to the shore line
has been built inclosing an area of
about 5000 acres, over which the
animals roam at will.
Between two lofty ridges that
traverse the island from the north
to the south is a dense cedar
swamp three miles long and one
mile wide at its broadcast point.
This is the natural home of the
caribou, which feed upon the dry,
glutinous mixture commonly call
co reindeer moss and found in
great quantities in this region.
The original herd of caribou
was brought to the island three
years ago from Deer Lake, New
foundland. There were five ami
mails in the herd. Like their near
relatives, the moose, they are slow
breeders, but grow to enormous
size. There are probably a score
of specimens Of the moose family
on Grand Island, one of which has
attained its full growth, now being
about fifteen years old, weighing
1000 pounds. The moose were

Curious National Customs Observed
alta South Dakota Marriage.

A double wedding in the Rus

south Of A dria, lasted
through all entire day and into the
evening. The names of the prin-
cipals were Joseph Mandel and
Katharine Hotter, and Michael
Waldner and Katherine Gross.
The ceremony was begun in the
morning in the little stone church,
in which the old custom of the
men and women sitting on oppo-
site sides still prevails. The Rus
sian priest delivered long SER
mon, and at 20 O'Clock he called
the principals to the front of the
edihce, the women going first and
being followed by the young men.
The ceremony proper was spoken
i'll Russian, and lasted but a short
time. 1t was followed by a prayer
and a song and then brides and
bride grooms returned to their
separate seats.
The bridal costumes of the
couples were very simple, the
maidens wearing fanelette gowns
with handkerchief tied over their
heads, The bridegrooms, however,

One Of the most remarkable reversals

municipal ownership theory, which 4
little more than a year ago fiourished

the attention Of the entire civilized
world, is now the deadest duck in the

1t any longer. Certainly nobody ever

Out of the shadows of Eden, in
which, with a silly, ostrich-like
instinct, they sought to hide them
selves from the omniscience of
their Maker, God called them. 1t
was fearful meeting. The reali-
ty of mans fall is evidenced by
his changed bearing. The frank
ness of innocence is gone. When
fairly cornered by his omniscient
Prosecutor, with the historic
cowardice of sin, he seeks to cast
the blame directly upon the COM
panion whom, up to that moment,
he had loved devotedly and shell
tered courageously, and indirectly
upon the benefcent Being who had
given her to him.
Across the densest gloom of this
shattered paradise God let one ray
of heavenly hope fall aslant: "The
seed of the woman shall bruise the
serpcnt's head" The age-long
strife just then beginning, with its
varying fortunes, between the good
and the evil seed, shall finally
cease when the Man OF Calvary
