The chief objec- tion which the Americans have had to the practicing of seining by Cana dians has been the great depreda- tion of the supply of young fish placed in the lake from the hatch cries located on the United States side, resulting from the use of nets.

ANIMALS ALL AMBIDExTRoUs.
Why Man Gives Preference to Right
 Hand Over the Left.

Right handedness and right eyed ness came with genus homo. Dr George NJ. Gould has watched for them in squirrels that use their front paws to hold nuts, cats that strike at insects In the air or play with wounded mice and in many other animals, but he is certain no refer ence is given to the right side over the left.
 But in the lowest human savages all over the world choice in greater expertness of one hand is clearly present. One cause for it's develop ment Is in primitive military GUS toms. In all tribes and countries since man used implements of of fense and defense the left side, where the heart lies, has been pro- tected by shield, and the left hand was called the shield hand, while the right hand was called the spear hand.
 Next to fighting came commerce. The fundamental condition of bar tering was counting with the low numbers, one to ten. The fingers of the free or right hand were natural ly first used, and all fingers to-day are called digits, as are the figures themselves. while the basis of our numberings is the decimal or ten fingered system. Every drill and ac- ton of the soldier from ancient Greece to modern America is right sided in every detail. Firing from the right shoulder and sighting with the right eye brings the right eye into prominence.
 It is significant that with the de- cline of militarism comes the sug- gestion of schools for ambidexterity and the establishment of a movement for promulgating the gospel of two handedness and its obvious advan- tages.-Chicago Tribune.

MILITARY MANEUvERs.
Second Regiment Will Make a Trip
 Into New York State,

It has been practically decided that the Second regiment. c. \. G. will go to Madison barracks, near Watertown New York for maneuvers the coming summer. With them will be the col- ored company of New Haven and the signal corps of the regular army. It was planned some time ago to have the second make the trip the coming summer but the lack of money made the plans an uncertainty. The ap- propriation, however. is forthcoming and the trip will be made. The local companies A and G will go and will in all probability leave the city on July 10th and will return ten days later.

German Criticises Roosevelt.

Berlin.-1n the course of an interpe!
lation in the reichstag in reference to
the high rate of discount charged by
the Imperial bank, Count Won Kanitz,
Conservative, suggested that President
Roosevelt's threats against the
trusts" was responsible for the criti-
cal financial condition" He added that
the opponents of the trusts must rec.
ognize that interference with the finan.
cial activity of the United States,
which is based on the operations OF
the trusts, means interference with the
entire economic situation in America
Americas error has been that she
allowed the trusts to go so long with.
out interference" said the speaker.
Continuing. the speaker expressed
his opinion that the United States will
need much more money, and this will
come from Europe. He then asked
what means would be adopted to pre-,
vent this outflow, which even high
bank rate of discount could not keep
back.
He suggested moderate return to
bmetallism by issuing in Germany sill
yer coinage to the amount of % marks
per capita, which he said would i'm.
prove the situation. He upheld the
method of the Bank of France, which
issues silver coinage to the value Of DO
marks per capita of population, as
model in this connection. declaring
that this system permitted France to
have such an enormous gold reserve.
The shortage of money, according to
Count Won Kanitz, made the restora-
ton OF ordinary conditions question.

To Leave Cuba Next Year.

Westinghouse far as he can, Sec,
rotary Taft has committed the govern
ment to promise to withdraw com
pletely from Cuba in the beginning O..
the spring in 1909. This pledge is con.
tanned in letter TO the President
transmitting the report of Governor
Magoon for the past year.
After pointing out that the report
from the governor shows the condi.
lions in Cuba to be encouraging, Sec.
rotary Taft says:
ct was hoped by some that the
census might be completed in Septem.
Der last l did not think so, and |
am not at all surprised to learn that
the census has not yet been completed
and probably will rot be until April
or May This will postpone the local
elections until June, the presidential
election until December and the in,
stallation of the President and Con
gress and the turning over of the Is
land until about March or April OF
1909.
This is in compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba, and it seems to me
that We ought to allow nothing to In
terfere with carrying out that promise
There are important interests that
would be glad to delay our stay there
for years, but good faith and good
judgment require us to leave at the
time appointed"

wooLeRoWERs' CONVENTION.
Flerce Attack on Presidents Forest
Reserve Policy.

Helena, MONTH Tuesdays session
Of the forty-fourth annual convention
Of the National Woolgrowers' Associa-
ton is to be accepted as rejecting the
views of the stockmen and sheepmen
of the West a bitter campaign Is to be
waged against the announced policies
of President Roosevelt and his advisors
for the federal control of the public
range.
The woolgrowers will send a delega-
ton to Washington to oppose any leg
islation by this Congress in carrying
out the Presidents recommendation.
A considerable number of delegates
have expressed determination to op-
pose the reelection of United States
Senator Francis Il. Warren of Wyom-
ing, as president of the Woolgrowers
Association, because of his advocacy
of the administration grazing policy.
The session was characterized by n
bitter address against the government
regulation of the public range by
Thomas J. Walsh, a Helena stocllman,
lawyer, and later Democratic candi-
date for congress, who criticised es-
pecally the action OF the administra-
ton Is putting into effect what is
IL
ing upon forest reserves.
The attendance at the convention Is
large, the greatest, in fact, in the his
tory of the association. After invoca-
ton, formal addresses of welcome
were made by Governor Toole and
Acting Mayor Wendell, Frank p. Hag-
enbarth of Idaho, responding. The
usual committees were appointed fol
lowed by the annual address of Vice
President Wilson of Douglas, Wyo.,
who congratulated the association
upon the prosperous past and bright
future of the industry.
Mr.. Walsh then addressed the con.
vention. He asserted that efforts were
making to befog the public mind on
the real issues and held that the policy
of forest preservation was not at
stake. He said the people of the West
had gratefully accepted Roosevelt's ad-
ministrations, but they felt they knew
better what is for their own good than
does he or any departmental clerk. He
asserted that it was paternalism gone
mad to charge that the cattlemen did
not know their own interests, and de
scribed as a distrust of the people ey'
cry argument advanced in favor of the
new departure. The session closed
with an address by Governor Brooks
of Wyoming on "The Open Range"
