DEER FORCED TO EMleRATE.
Driven by Wolves to Cross from
Michigan to Canada.

Saul Ste. Marie, Mich.-The fact
that big roundup of wolves is beiy.g
planned for next month in the district
of Algoma has served to recall that 1t
was not so many years ago that
neither animals of that species nor
the common red deer were to be found
in that portion of Ontario province. j.
T. Ross, Canadian 500 taxidermist,
says it was only six or seven years
ago that wolves were noticed in AL.
gonna in any considerable number.
Possibly deer had not been seen in
Algoma prior to 1895. The latter
came from northern Michigan, in Mr..
Ross opinion, and were followed by
the wolves, which have become thick
in the Agawa and Montreal valleys
and in the country beyond those
rivers.
deer were very plentiful the past
season." said Mr.. Ross. 'They swan
across from Michigan in large num-
bers, presumably driven out by the
wolves. The deer are certainly not

Senator Mates consented to the
bill going over to 10 o'clock Wednes-
day morning as a special order and it
will then be taken up. 1t is assumed
that there will be no opposition to It.
Insurance is necessity which
can not be carried on by individuals"
said Mr.. Henry Wallace, "but either
by mutual or cooperative or stock
companies. In either case there is
the possibility, when the company be-
comes rich and prosperous, of its
falling into the hands Of bare ma
jority Of the stockholders, who can,
in ways that need not be mentioned
in detail here, force the minority to
sell on their own terms. 1t Is but
Just that there should be proper
tionate minority representation.
"The bill provides that where 20
per cent of the stockholders nominate
a stockholder to represent their in
terests, the majority must elect this
or some other minority representa-
tive. Where the minority is 40 per
cent they shall be entitled to two d.
rectors. This does not give the min
ority control, but it enables them to
have full and complete information as
to the doings of the company. 1t is no
wonder, therefore, that this bill has
been called the Square deal BILL" be-
cause 1t gives representation in pro.

San Diego, Cal, March Cit is Of.
ficially stated that orders have been
received from Washington for the
gunboat Princeton to proceed to Cen
trail America. though Admiral Swim
burne would neither confirm nor
deny the report. 1t is understood that
the gunboat will proceed direct to
Guatemalan waters, joining the Chi
cago, which is now there.
Washington, March 6.-The United
States gunboat Princeton. which is
now on the southern California coast,
will be ordered to Central America to
assist the cruiser Chicago in looking
after American interests threatened
by the war between Nicaragua and
Honduras. 1t also has been decided
to send the Dubuque or the Paducah
to Blueflelds, Nicaragua, to assist the
Marietta in looking after American
interests on the Caribbean side OF
Central America.
News received here is disquieting
in the extreme to the officials who
had been hoping that the trouble be-
tween Nicaragua and Honduras could
be localized and soon terminated by
arbitration. 1t is now stated that
there is every indication that Saliva
dor, Guatemala and Costa RIGA will
join forces with Honduras, making a
combination of all of the other Cen
trail American republics against the
single state of Nicaragua. This state
| of affairs has been brought about, II
Is said, through conviction on the
part of the governing forces in Saliva
| dor, Guatemala and Costa RIGA that
Nicaragua has been the real aggres
sor in the boundary dispute with Hon
| duras and that If President Zelaya Is
allowed to prevail over President
Bonilla he could not resist the temp
tation to overrun the other republics
and make himself master OF Contra
| America
