jersey KiIIs Amendments.

The five proposed amendments to
the State Constitution adopted by two
successive State Legislatures and sup
ported earnestly by Gov. Fort were
defeated overwhelmingly when sub
mitted to the voters of the State at a
special election. Returns received at
Trenton indicate that not more than
fifteen per cent of the voters went to
the polls and that on the average the
proposed amendments were heater
by vote Of at least two to one. Thu
proposed amendments, which went tx
defeat, were in brief as follows: Tt
change the Constitution in relation tx
foreclosure of mortgages; to create
special Board of Pardons, to consis
of the Governor and four civilians; tt
create an independent Court of Ap
peals, recast the Supreme Court and
rearrange the county and other in
ferior courts; to pay to State Sena
tors and Assemblymen $1,000 a year
instead of $500; to elect Assembly
men by Assembly districts. and tt
separate county, city and State cleo
tons from municipal elections by in
creasing the terms of the Governor
and State Senators to four years and
Assemblymen to two years. Thai
amendment would have thrown the
municipal elections in odd numbered
years. 1t also would have extended
the term of the Sheriff to four years
and those of County Clerks and Sur
rogates to six years.

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC is EVERY YEAR MANIFESTING
A KEENER INTEREST IN THE QUEST OF BIG GAME
70 Crafty This Longing Railroads Are Now Run Through the Very
Heart Of the Moose and Deer Country Dropping the City Sportsman
at Stations That Are But YesbueS to the Happy Hunting Grounds
E THAT WOMEN MAY HUNT Big GAME IN MAINE WOODS

One would realize this latter fact
very forcibly could he go behind the
scenes in the advertising department
of one of the great American rail-
roads serving the Maine and Cana
dian hunting region and see the vast
quantities of booklets and other print
ed matter pertaining to this noble
branch of sport that are sent to every
quarter of the Republic, at the re-
quest of interested parties.
Perhaps it is the feeling that some
day in the not far distant future,
there will be no more moose and deer
to be hunted in Maine or elsewhere
ON this continent; but certain 1t is
that the American public is every year
manifesting keener interest in the
quest of big game, and is willing to
invest generously of its time and
money in order to crafty its desire
for a set Of antlers, or even set of
"snap shots" of antlered game.
Even peaceful expedition like
that of DR.. Cook to the North Pole
has an unconscious effect upon the
mind of the born hunter. He yearns
to emulate the intrepid discoverer in
bagging musk-oxen and polar bears,
but realizing that these are as far be-
yond his reach as the Pole itself, he
does the next best thing and goes
after moose and black bears in Maine
or New Brunswick And in his way,
he has just as much fun as DR.. Cook
or Commander Peary-and far more
comfort.
With the multiplicity of the camps
has come marked increase in the
number of professional guides, all Of
them duly registered, according to
law; and in no hunting region in the
world can there be found finer or
more reliable set of woodsmen than
these.
With these intelligent guides to
smooth away the rough places, per-

ton into the wilds of the Dark Con-
tinent will have far-reaching effect
upon the pastime of hunting in all
civilized countries.
Those who live in large cities--the
last place on earth that one would
naturally associate with anything per-
tanning to the wilderness are now
adays' among the very first to be re-
minded of the approach of the hunt
ing season, for about this time of year
the sporting goods establishments, SO
numerous in all large centres, begin
to make their attractive window dis
plays of firearms, camping outfits and
hunting and tramping paraphernalia,
not forgetting the guide books and
outdoor works of fiction; for there is
a literature of hunting to-day, as of
all things else.
In fact, the comforts of life in the
woods in these days form one of the
chief reasons for the wonderful popu
uarity of those exciting and healthful
hunting trips that we soon will be
reading about in every metropolitan
and local paper. There are few of
us who really take delight in trough
ing it, but for every one of these
modern Davy Crocketts, there are a
thousand who prefer the downy couch
in the snug camp after the hard days
quest of moose or deer.

The number of Americans who are
fired with the ambition to kill some
thing big that moves around on four
legs is phenomenal. The hunting in

turtles from primal man, survives
throughout all the adyancements of
civilization 1t crops out in bankers,
merchants; journalists, capitalists,
bookkeepers and even Presidents.
Indeed, it is not too mich to as
sumo that the present hunting trip Of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in Africa

many of his contemporaries here who
would not otherwise have thought of

Four Dredges, at Work
Down i'm Everglades

spectiOn of the drainage work from
both the East and the gulf coast sides
He does not believe that it would be
possible to push the work any more
rapidly than it is now going on.
Gov GilchTist has made no state
ment in regard to his personal feel
ingS regarding the drainage work. But
he expresses satisfaction with the
progress being made. Thousands of
farms have been purchased in the
Everglades subject to the drainage
work, and in many cases these puT-
chases were made after the purchasers
had carefully investigated personally.
Funds are Only HoIdback.
The trustees have four dredges at
work." said Gov. Gilchrist in response
to a request for information. These
dredges are making as much Roadway
as could be expected. With the
amount of money on hand the trus-
tees could not possibly push the work
any more than il is now being pushed.
The money for accomplishing this
work is derived from sales of land
made on the instaIlment plan At
present these installments are not sur
hcient to warrant the trustees in
building any more dredges. The
money derived from taxation has been
held up, as the case is now pending in
the United States court. With the
amount of money on hand and in
sight, as much progress is being made
as could reasonably be expected"

Tallahassee, Nov. 9.-That Gov. AL
bert w. Gilchrist believes the Ever

ing as well as IS possible under the
circumstances under which the tTus-

are working, is made evident in a brief
statement made by him by request re-

garding drainage since becoming gov
ernOr
The heavy rains that came with the
late hurricane flooded the Everglades,
and the canal banks were overlooked
for miles. News of this led some of
the old opponents Of drainage to ques-
ton its success. When Gov. GilchTist
went into office he declared that he
would investigate thoroughly the
drainage matter and act accordingly.
The request was made of him that he
now declare himself one way or the
other and endeavOr to stop the work
or go ahead, according as to what his
present views might be. This request
was backed up by some of the pro-
drainage papers, one of which ex-
pressed the belief that the drainage is
not progressing so satisfactorily as
under the direction of former Gov. N
