The Game Protective Association of
Virginia is not an association of sports
men, though many belong, but is COM
posed mostly of well-to-do farmers in
terested in the preservation of the
game. Its membership fee is 81 to all,
except farmers, who are entitled to
membership free. In its latest circu-
lar letter, among other things, the asso-
citation advises as follows:
If your county is without game war
dens, will you not take necessary steps
to secure their appointment? In every
community there is, no doubt, a conser-
vative citizen willing to take the task.
If he has the support of the neighbor-
hood. In a few years we hope to see
all wardens sufficiently paid.
AT present there are wardens in 40
counties; 60 without. Would also sug-
gest that in some counties it might be
well to revise the appointments-look
into this.
Vast quantities of game can be saved
by little energy Foxes, coons and
minks deserve attention. Spring hunt
ing with dog and gun is best for foxes,
steel trap or mash trap for coons.

is sure catch for a mink. This is not
only pleasant, but profitable past-time
for the boys; why not encourage them?
Dogs of no kind, which hunt the fields
or bush, should be allowed to run at
large during the summer months. An
earnest warfare against the enemies of
game will develop in educating the
masses for its protection, which is, after
all, our chief motive.
The citizenship of this State is ap-
pealed to for its earnest cooperation tc
cope with local conditions, and the re.
suits will be astonishing.

WHAT FIRES COST Us.

F. w. Fitzpatrick contributes an ar
ticle in the November McClure's on
"Fire-an American Extravaganza.
He says:
Fires have cost us as many as 2, 600
human lives in one years time, and our
loss in money value, through the de-
struction of property, is almost as
appalling. The production of gold in
the entire world, something like $780,
900, 600 per year, would not recoup us
for our losses by fire, and the inciden-
tai expenses accompanying them, in
the same period of time; the value of
all the coal mined in this country in a
years time would just cover the cost
to us of our fires; the value of our lum-
ber production is only a trifie more.
We are fond of luxuries and import a
great many, yet the value of all that
Importation is but a fifth of our fire
cost. We are great and persistent ad-
vertizers, and spend huge sums in that
accessory to business. but, vast as our
advertising bill is, it equals but two
fifths of our fire bill; and all the indus
trial dividends paid in 1907 aggregate
but three-fifths of the amount of our
fire extravaganza.
I'm 1907 there We're no great confiag-
ations; it was what might be termed 8
normal year; but we actually destroy.
ed buildings and property contained in
them, to the value of $215, 600, ,OOO."

Persons have been known to
gain a pounda a ddyby takingan
ounce of Scott s Emulsion. 1t
is strange, but it often happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient Is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could
not do before, and that Is the
way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh Is

HOLD-UP MEN GET S.
Two Men Hold Up Z. J. Reed on Cen.
tral Avenue, But Only Get a
Small Sum.

The first hold-up which has taken
place in Whitefish in many day occur
red last Friday night about O'Clock, the
victim being E. J. Reed.
Mr.. Reed has been patient at the
hospital for some time, and had recover
ed from his illness sufficiently to walk
down town. He was returning to the
hospital from town on that evening, when
he met two men on the narrow foot
bridge on Central avenue. One of the
men drew gun as he approached and
ordered Reed to throw up his hands.
The command being obeyed, one of the
hold-up artists then ordered the victim to
hand over his money, which he did in
the amount of SIS, this being all the mon
ey that he had with him.
The robbers then disappeared in the
darkness, going south OH Central avenue,
and Reed returned to town and reported
the occurrence to the town officials.
A couple of suspicious characters were
arrested later, but Reed was unable to
identify them as the men who held him

STACKS OF FUR.

John f. Lewis, one Of the proprietor;
of the Hotel Gaylord at Columbia Falls,
and who also buys the furs brought in by
trappers in this part Of the state, showed
a number OF Whitefish visitors through,
his collection last Friday night, after the
dance in the hotel
1t is something unusual to see such a
collectloh OF raw furs as the Columbia
Falls buyers have obtained, and the Wis.
itors were much interested There were
large piles of lynx, marten, mink and
ermine, with few foxes, mountain lions,
bears, etc. Especially large was the
stack of lynx hides, these animals being
unusually plentiful in Flathead county
this year. All the hides were prime and
well furred, and form an interesting ex.
hibit.

Al ABLE SPEAKER,

The lecture entitled 'Lop-Sided Folks, "
given at styles hall last Monday evening
by Rev. WI spirc, was without doubt
the best thing in that line ever heard in
Whitefish. Mr.. spire has most ad.
mirable way Of holding his audience with
pathetic illustrations, and his comic
stories caused more than one persons
sides to ache with laughter.
It was happy combination of mirth
and pathos, the ridiculous and the SUBJ
lime, nonsense and, best of all, a great
deal of good common sense; in fact, il
was treat such as one rarely hears from
the lecture platform.
The ladies Of the Presbyterian church
are to be congratulated ON securing Mr..
spire for the lecture, and it is safe to
predict . packed house for him should
he come to our city again.
