PRESERVING THE BISON.
Pablo, d Flathcad Indian, Hns Some
of Them.

A Flathead Indian named Pablo, liv-
ing in Montana had in his possession
few years ago herd of $50 buffalo.
The Canadian government learned OF
the existence of the herd and bought 1t
from the F'lathead' chief--it Is thought
he Is n chief--who was tempted by
the offer because of its seeming gen.
crosby, and because probably he did
not know the full value of the buffalo
in this day of their scarcity.
The Canadians took about half the
herd, divi,,,d the half into two parts
and turned the animals loose on
ranges on the other side of the border,
where II Is gaid they are thriving The
remaining buffalo included in the pur-
chase are. 1t is assumed, to he carted
into Canada, there to be given their
freedom with fence limitations. II ~

BUILDING AND LOAN
FIGHT LICENSE TAX
State League Has Conference
With Tax Committee on
the Subject

A special meeting to confer with the
tax committee relative to the proposed
constitutional amendment to be voted
on in November and the corporation
license tax was held by the executive
and legislative committees of the Cali
fornia building and loan. league Satur-
day afternoon at 4O5 Pine street. An
almost unanimous sentiment was ex-
pressed in favor of the abolition of the
corporation license tax as regards
building and loan associations on the
ground that the capital stock arbi-
trarily set at the time of Incorporation
often exceeds any assets ever reached
by the companies.
The proposed amendment provides
for a / per cent tax levy on the assets
and reserve fund of each building and
loan association. and arguments both
in favor of and against such an amend
ment We're listened to. Among those
present at the meeting We're: c. D.
Barnett of Santa Rosa. president of the
California building and loan league
George w. LOWE of Redwood City; W.
