MANY DEATHS OF
CIVIL WAR VETERANS.

Like all It's predecessors. Memorial
day of 1908 sees a rapidly diminishing
number of the veterans of the great
was answering its roll call. on the
roster of the Grand Army of the Re-
public there are to-day about go. 900
names. and these have recently been
shrinking at the rate OF from 5000 to
5000 a year The deaths annually
among the survivors of the big con-
tiict, however. are far greater than
the highest of these figures. Only a
small portion of the survivors belong
to that organization. and 1t receives
accessions to dts membership every
year. though these do not offset the
deaths within its ranks.
On May /, 1856 three weeks after
Lees surrender to Grant. and five days
after Sherman received the equalization
of Johnston's veterans. the number Of
soldiers present in all the armies OF
the Union was 79S 600. while 202, 900

or otherwise off duty. That 79S 600
represented the greatest number OF
troops on duty at any one time during
the four years of war. The number OF
Confederates who were in active
service at the time of the general col
lapse. or any time during the war, is
not definitely known.
The fact that there was hard fight
ing on both sides in the Civil War IL
shown by the $4,000 who were killed
in battle or who died of wounds re-
ceived there. These are the deaths on
the Union side. Those among the
Confederates are not known, but in
proportion to numbers actually en-
gagged. they must have been at least
as great as those on the northern side.
Some of the most intrepid fighters
whom the world has seen in any war
were arrayed on the southern side in

here called the governor generals
attention to n conversation which |
had had with MIR. We'll. rich South
African, who has been prospecting as to
the timber resources of the northern
part of this colony. Mi Wen told me
that he was about to take up con
cessjon of timber lands here whlch
would keep his men busy cutting FOR
tb,. next 100 years He said he intended
10 order saw mills aud other lumber
machinery from the United states ana
that a large part of his market would
be the United States where he eNpecteu
to send a certain furniture wood winch
is much like black walnut. The COVER.
nor general replied that Mr.. wen haa
not received the concession aS w. a'lu
that there is no absolute surety that
his plans will be carried out. He con-
tinued:
.As to our forests. they are OF great
extent, but so far they have not peen
exploited Some of the wood is me
and they will ultimately have hxed
value i'm the markets of Europe. we
have trees which correspond to teak
some which are like black walnut. ana
others which are as soft as CEDAR All
of these woods are valuable and there
should be n market for them in Europe

railroad possibilities of German Dast
Africa. This country already has one
line which goes inland from the port of
Tanga to the slopes of Mount I<ilirnan-
jaro where there is a high and healthy
country being settled by Germans.
There is another road building from
Oar es Salaam westward toward Lake
Tanganyika, and this will probably also
be connected by road leading south
ward TO Lake Nyassa. These roads will
open up rich coffee and cattle lands,
and Will give an outlet from the inter
Tor to the coast. The road to Tanganyi-
ka viii probably have a branch running
northward to Mwanza, on lake Vic
toria, and it will form great trunk
line, which will connect with the Cape
to Carlo system at Lake Tanganyika.
Said the governor general:
"'rhe line will first be built from here
to Morgoro, distance of Is miles. 1t is
now open as far as Kingani. about so
miles. and trains have been running
over parts of 1t for some years. We
need the extension of that road badly.

reply. Il think 1t would pay in years
to come, and that even now 1t would be
profitable for the government TO push
It's construction. In the DEVELOPMENT of
a great country like this we have to
consider how to increase the wealth or
the people and how to develop our re-
sources. This road would bring in out

WOLF HUNTERS RECORD.

Ninety-three timber wolves killed
in less than a months time Is the re-
cord made by James Macintyre OF
Quatsino. who has presented a bill to
the government agent here for 81. 3a5
the amount of bounty at the rate of
SIS a head.
An examination Of Mr.. Macintyre's
account showed that some of the wolves
were killed before February l. the date
on which the Increased bounty came
into effect, and on these he win be
allowed anly SIS per head. but he has
evidence enough of February's work
to make his claim when revised amount
TO about 81 900.
1t is reported that Indians up the
coast, who have learned of the increase
in the bounty on panthers and wolves
to SIS a head each, have taken to the
woods on a hunt and 1t is expected that
they will soon have large sums IN

people live in villages with little farms
nearby, and every one cultivates the
soil Farther in the interior we have
other tribes, some devoted to farming
and some to stock rearing. We have
others who make q business Of trans

common on that plantation and some
of the trees are yielding much more.

GRAVE FEARS FoR THE AEON.

san francisco, Sept, t.-Gravest fears
are entertained for the safety OF the
British steamer Aeon. which cleared
from this port for sydney. Via Apia
and Auckland. July g. and has not yet
arrived here. The steamer Lord Setton
of the same line arrived at Auckland
on Sunday and reports no sign of the
Aeon.
Reinsurance on the vessel is quoted
at 90 per cent, but 1t Is believed in
shipping circles that the ship has not
been lost but has sustained injury that
has delayed her.
on board the Aeon are 10 passengers
shipping as members of the crew,
among them the wife of Lieut.. Riddle.
e.. S. N, and Chaplain and Mrs. Pat
rick. bound for the naval station at
Page Page. These passengers We're
taken in violation of the law according
to the collector of the port here.
The route over which the Aeon sailed
is lonesome one and vessels travelling
over it seldom pass other ships,
The Aeon is not equipped to make
any speed if accident to her machinery
has compelled her 10 resort to canvass
to make Roadway and 1t is hoped thas
this is the case which would account
for her long delay. .-..---..---
