BOUNTlES ON WILD ANIMALS.

A portion Of the annual report
of Secretary of State Frear, Just
published, deals with the question
of bounties paid by the state and
counties on wild animals. Under
y chapter Of the state laws it is
provided that the state shall pay
the same bounty as is paid by any
county, and the state is therefore
required to audit the bounty acc
cunts of the counties, whice ex-
plains why the secretary Of state
deals with this question in his re-
port. Most of the bounties paid
are on wolves, and by detailed
statment Of the secretary shows
that during the past six years
there has been paid out in this
manner a total Of 1852, $50. 1t is
noted there was a rapid growth in
bounty claims from 1903 to 1896,
the figure for the former year be
ing $4,000 aud for the latter
year 80, 761, In the year follow
ing phamphlet was sent to CO
unity clerks requiring them to for
ward doubtful seal ps to Madison
for inspection, and in 1907 nearly
800 scalps were submitted, result
ing in the discovery that over one
half of them were taken from
dogs, foxes and other animals
than wolves.
This disclosure of fraud in the
payment of wild animal hounties
confirms the claim that there is
widespread abuse of this system,
and 1t would seem to be the duty
of the next Legislature to repea
the law which requires the state
to pay bounties to equal those
paid by counties. The bounty
system is one of doubtful benefit
at best, and as a scent report
sent out by the federal forest ser
vice plainly says, Bounty fee;
even when excessive, have proven
ineffective in keeping down the
wolves, and the most intelligent
ranchmen are questioning whether
the pounty pays. A certain class

was the only county which gave a
majority against the income tax.
Calumet, Kewaunee, Shawano,
Washington and Winnebago gave
a majority against requiring a
voter to be full citizen after 49,
-. Calumet, Dodge, Kewaunee,
Manitowoc, Ozaukee, Sheboygan
and Washington gave majorlties
against state aid for roads.
The result shows that the citlz-
ems of Wisconsin believe that it is
possible to improve the constitu-
tuition of 1848 in many particulars
and that tue largest number of
people had been Informed in re

ment. This was doubtless becau

Work on Western Pacific.

Official statements show that from
81, 100000 to $1.500,0O0 month is be-
ing spent by the Western Pacific in
construction work, and this is to con-
tinue throughout the winter months.
Just as soon as the weather will per-
init in the spring large additions will
be made to the laboring forces en-
gagged in building the road. and the
work will be pushed at all points SO
as to finish at the earliest possible
date.
The total length of the road when
built will be 925 miles, and of this the
track already is laid on about 300
miles. Approximately 900 more miles
of roadbed now is ready for the rails.
Officials of the road claim that for
some months the amount of work done
has exceeded that accomplished in the
same period on the Panama canal,
where some $4,000 men are employed.

Killed 1899 Ducks at One Shot.

Harry Malcolm, ex-deputy game
warden, sends to the Sun photograph
of remarkable nine-barrel gun with a
single trigger, which has the effec-
tiveness of a Calling gun in slaughter
ing ducks. A single pull of the trig-
ger fires off all the barrels, and one
discharge is said to have killed 1S9
ducks.
Mr.. Malcolm, assisted by Messrs. r.
H. Cox, w. M. Lyon and Sidney Bar
Der. arrested a party Of hunters who
were using the gun to the great detri-
ment of the wild duck hunting sport
on the Potomac river. Seven men
were taken along with the gun, which
is of a type forbidden by law. Mr..
Malcolmn says that ror years they
have been unlawfully killing ducks
and driving others from the Potomac
river and tributary creeks.
The capture of the outfit, he says, is
a great relief to the owners of lands
in the neighborhood. With the gun
were captured four sloops, seven big
guns, 100 decoys, seven skiffs, $50
pounds of powder and So dead ducks.

Diana of Philadelphia.

At the mint in Philadelphia there
are to be seen coins far more precious
than any which find their way into cir
culation. These form a collection of
curios, and many of them date from
times of great antiquity.
Perhaps the most interesting of
them is a handsome coin bearing on
it's face the profile of woman, which
has striking resemblance to the
Goddess of Liberty of our own coun-
try. Underneath is the single word
Demos" which is the Greek for
the people,"
On the reverse side of the coin
is a beautiful figure of the Goddess
Dianna. arching her bow, and the
inscription, translated into English,
reads, Dianna, Friend of the Philadel-
phians."
This coin was minted some 1000
years ago at the city of Philadelphia.

Car and Locomotive Building.

Official reports from car and loco
motive builders of the United States
and Canada show large increase in
the output for 1907 over that of 1906,
which up to that time was the record
year. There was. however, a heavy
falling OF in orders, much of the out
put of the past year having been or
dered during 1906.
The total number of railroad cars
built during 1907 was 2S9,645, an in
crease Of 10 per cent. over 1906, &C.
cording to figures gathered by the
Railroad Gazette. OF the total num-
Der of cars built by manufacturers,
1884, were for freight service and
5,457 for passenger service; 2S0,216
were for domestic use and 9,429 for
export. The number of passenger
cars built during the year shows an
increase of more than 70 per cent.
over the previous years output.
A smaller increase over last year is
shown in the locomotive output. The
- builders in the United States and
Canada built 1862 locomotives during
the year, of which G,564 were for do
nestle use and 7S9 for export. This
is an increase of six per cent. in the
total output. The export output in

Swiss Railroad Ownership.

contains the names of no less than
5000 men still living who entered the
university and failed to graduate.
Various reasons account for their fail

dicating backwardness in scholarship,
account for a large fraction of them.
1t would be interesting to learn
whether these men failed in their sub
