ner had AL unimpeachable ali
bi, which made it appear inn
possible that he himself could
have been at the place of MUIR
der at the time it occurred.
Last week the citizens of Ray
mond raised money, which was
added to by the county COM
missioners, with which to en-
ploy assistance for the county
attorneys office. The commits
sioners then engaged attor.
neys. They went to Raymond
to investigate the case.
An examina ton of the bull
lets taken from Snider's body
led to the conclusion that they
had been fired from a 3S-caliber
revolver.
To add to the difficulty near.
ly all the young men around
Raymond carried revolvers.
But it was learned that Mr..
Livingston, the station agent
at Raymond, had once owned
such a revolver and had traded
it a week before the murder.
The man to whom he traded
the weapon was Lee Turner, a
cousin of Ora Turner.
Lee Turner visited his cousin
a few weeks ago, it is said, and
was at the Turner home the
night of the murder, but he had
returned to his home at Lone
Wolf, Ok. The officers went to
Ora Turner and demanded to
see his revolvers. He brought
out a motley assortment, but
not one of the type of which
the officers wereIin search. He
was asked if he had a revolver
of this kind. He denied it.
The attorneys went to Lone
Wolf, Ok. They found Lee
Turner aud learned that he
bore a good reputation in the
community. They asked him
about the revolver, and he ad-
mitted getting it from Mr.. Liv-
ingston in a trade and trading
it later to Ora Turner. Lee
Turner offered to come to Ly-
ons as witness and did come
back with the officers. Later
the officers confronted Ora Tur-
ner with this new evidence. at
last he admitted having the re.
volver in question. He went
to his fathers farm and got a
pitchfork; then, nviting the Of
iicers to accompany him, he
went to a small grove not far
away and dug up the revolver
from where it had been buried
in the sand and handed it to
Sheriff Wilson. The sheriff at
once arrested Turner and
brought him back to Lyons.

The unwritten law defense used in
behalf of Capt. Peter c. Hams, who
was indicted for shooting and killing
William 4. Annis, did not have any
material effect upon the Long Island
jury, as the latter found him guilty
of manslaughter in the first degree,
and it is in the discretion of the
Court what sentence shall be impos-
ed upon him. The penalty in his
case is from one to twenty years in
the Penitentiary. Capt. Hams shot
Annis because he believed the latter
had ruined his home.
Thornton J. Hams, brother of the
convicted man, was acquitted of ali
criminal participation in the tragedy,
and it was the opinion of many that
Capt Hams, who fred the fatal shot,
would also escape punishment, but
such did not prove to be the case. 1t
was also. alleged that Capt. Hams
was not of sound mind at the time he
committed the act, but the jury was
not of that opinion.

the NEW PRIMARY LAW.


The new Primary law which was
enacted by the last Legislature goes
into effect this year and il applies to
every County 10 the State excepting
those Counties where the Crawford
County system is already in force.
There was strong sentiment in
many sections Of the State for a bet
ter primary law and it was supposed
to he in response to this demand that
the Democratic party caused to be
enacted this law. In some respects
it is an improvement on the old sys-
TEN and in many particulars it is
worse, being more expensive to the
taxpayers and also expensive for the
candidates for Office.
Under the new law it is left to the
discretion of the State Central Com
mittees for the respective Counties
as to whether the delegate system or
the Crawford County system shall be
used. In either case the law requires
that at least fifteen DAYS notice Of the
primary shall be given; that the
ballots be printed on white Opaque
paper that twice as many ballots be
provided for each district as there
are registered voters in said district !;
that the names of the delegates or
candidates be printed in alphabetical
order that the polls be open at
least four hours, but may be kept
open from A. NJ to 6 p NJ; that
three judges and two clerks be ap-
pointed for each district, shall be
paid by the County Commissioners,
the latter also to pay for cost of max
ing transcript of voters names in
each district from the regular poll
books for use at the primary; that
the candidates shall pay for rent of
polling places, printing of official bal
lots, etc. Primary meetings are to
be held not later than the second
Monday in September, and all sa-
looms have to be closed on the day
of the primary. The County, Judi
cial and State delegates may be
chosen at one and the same time.
No electieneering is allowed with
in one hundred feet of the polling
place.
The Republicans of Frederick
County are holding their primary
meetings today. This is the first
County in the State to hold a pri-
mary under the new law. The law
there, we are informed, is unpopular.
1t cost the County about $1,000; the
local Republican organization about
$3.50, besides being expensive to the
candidates. The Republican Com
mittee used the delegate system there
and not the Crawford County sys-
TEN.

The Pacific Coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment The United States For
est Service is planning to introduce a
number Of the more important cas-
tern hardwoods into California, and
will this year experiment with chest
nut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak, and
yellcE poplar or tulip trees. Small
patches of these trees will be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on the
National Forests, and if those do
well, larger plantations on a com
mercial scale will soon be established
on wider areas.
There are over LIS different spe-
cies of trees in California, number
Of which produce some of the most
valuable varieties Of lumber in the
country. Although considerably
over one-half OF the species are hard
wood or broad-leaved trees yet, with
the exception of the exotic eucalyptus,
there is not single species Of hard
wood here ranking in commercial inn
portance with the leading eastern
haTdwoods- Climatic conditions in
many parts of California are undoubt-
eddy favorable for the growth Of a
number Of the valuable hardwoods,
and the absence Of these trees is due
mostly to aatayprable factors Of seed

1t is in the nineteenth chapter that
Mr.. Dawson discusses the new departure
in Germsnys colonial policy which took
place in isO-. In May q that year was
created Colonial 0ffice. with large inde-
pendent powers. Up to that time the
colonial department had been attached
TO the Foreign ONCE and subject TO the
direct authority OF the Foreign Minister.
Under the circumstances Foreign Min
listers could not delegate constitution
ally to the Colonial Director any Of their
own responsibility. The arrangement
was obviously bad for both sides-bad
for the Foreign ONCE, upon which 1t
imposed authority without executive
functions. and bad for the Colonial De-
psrtment. which had executive duties
without ultimate authority. As far back
as Count Caprivi's chanoellorship the
Imperial Government had tried TO induce
the Reichstag TO create an independent
Colonial Once. but then and later II had
failed. Not until the winter Of 1905.
when Prince Won Bdlow formed 'bloo'
Of supporters. consisting Of Conservatives.

MOUNTAIN HOME FOR GAME.
British Celumbia's Preserve for Mountain
Goats and sheep, Elk and Deer.

BY q proclamation OF the Lieutenant
Governor and Executive Council OF British
Columbia dated November is, 1908. there
was created a sanctuary for the mountain
goat, mountain sheep. elk. mule deer
and other important wild animals Of the
East Kootenay district of that province.
The initial act takes the form Of an order
proolaiming an absolute closed season
for ten years.
The southern line Of the preserve Is
ss miles north Of the international bound
ary. and its eastern boundary. Elk River.
Is fifteen miles from the western boundary
Of Alberta. on the summit Of the con-
tinental divide. The total area Of tbs
region which thus becomes an absolute
game preserve is about $50 square miles.
It includes about three-fourths OF the
territory between the Elk and Bull rivers.
already known TO the public as the pro-
posed Goat Mountain Park, TO which
elk end deer breeding grounds have
been added on the northwest. on the
head waters Of White River and its tribu-
tary creeks.
The region is richly stocked with game.
1t is undoubtedly the centre OF abund-
ance OF the white mountain goat, the
number of which is estim ated by compe-
tent sportsmen and guides at about 900
head. OF mountain sheep there Is also
mate placing the total at not less than
200 head.
Grizzly bears are abundant in the higher
ranges, and it is safe to estimate tie
total number ct from 40 TO 50 individuals
Elk are yet scarce. and 80 are mule de"r
both these species having been shot out
almost to the point OF determination
before the existing elk DroteCtion law WAS
enacted
1t is now quite certain that from this
time henceforth all the large game
species Of the protected area will steadily
and rapidly increase. Besides providing
for tho perpetual preservation OF inc
both Of them species that ere easily eA-
terminated unless protected, the overflow
OF wild life from the new reservoir VIII
perpetually stock the surrounding terri
tory.
The creation OF the preserve was sug-
Columbia in 1905 by two American sports
men. For two years William T. Horn
aday and John N. Phillips carried on
by correspondence and In the press an
active campaign Of education and appeal
in behalf OF the proposed preserve.
On being convinced thst the peor.n ol
British Columbie. really desired the pro;
posed preserve Premier Mcbride referred
the matter 70 the provincial game warden;
A. Bryen Williams, for examination AMI
a report In 1908 Mr.. Williams made two
long and leborious tours OF inspection
through the Fest Kootenay region. from
Fernie TO the White River country. and
after q searching examination rendered

England is given TO tea or coffee. Mr..
Dawson testihes. however. that while the
Germans are great beer drinking people
hey are at the same time sober people.
He admits that 10 is no uncommon thing
for the Bavarian workman 10 spend si.2s
a week on beer. and a weekly expondi-
ture Of rs cents Is common In any part
Of the beer drinking zone. That in spite
Of this there Is 90 little visible drunken
ness is attributed by our author to several
causes. as for instance. the habit Of drink
Ing little at time. though frequently.
as distinguished from continuous drink
ing; the absence Of treating; the habit
Of drinking in public view; but above all.
the small alcoholic strength of the beer.
which as a rule is about per cont. =
Germany as against per cent In Eng
land. Ten or a dozen years ago a tee-
totaller was rare In Germany; to-day he
Is TO be met with everywhere. and II 10 no
longer rare TO see temperance drinks
served In licensed houses 10 workingmen.
1t Is significant that there has been be-
tween 1899 and 1905 reduction In the per
capita consumption Of beer OF from "a i-s
to 20 gallons. In Munich II has fallen dur
ing the last twenty years from 1907 TO
e3 gallons The temperance movement in
Germany has sprung emphatically from
below. The workingmen have taken 1t
up as a purely class and economic ques-
ton and have been encoura ged by their
party press. ...
