lows who are responsible for
this provision would by the
means they use prt the game
birds in the same exclusive class
as the buffaloes in few years.
Practically the new laws says
we must not kill any game; birds
in South Dakota. by the law
which goes into effect next July,
and we do not believe there are
a dozen true sportsmen in the
state who who are ia favor of it,
We have ALWAYS stood for pre-
servation of our game birds but
not a freak like this. The pro-
vision taxing each gun LOO is "a
good one: the provision making
pot or market hunting a misde-
meanor is a good one; the pro
vision against wanton waste and
destruction of game birds aud
fish is good. But we fail to see
the need of the provision forbid
ding one to fish within four hun.
dred feet of q 1lsn way. That is
another case of giving the fellow
who lives near the mouths OF
such creeks as Choteau or such
rivers as the Jim the advantage.
The fish will come up the creeks
in the spring To spawn, will gen
orally stop near fish way
where fishers are forbidden to
catch them and go down to the
the Missouri in the late summer
and fall-and the man with the
nets, spears. etc. gets the fish.
The law should be changed to
give us all an equal chance, and
at the same time stop game hog
ging every where.

That New Game Law.

Nearly all of the papers have
had their say about the new
game law in the last. few weeks.
but we have waited until we
could get and read the law for
ourselves before saying any
thing. To US il looks as though
the law was framed for a bunch
of would lie sportsmen who
wouldn't know game ti.h or
bird from a railfence unless the
former was asleep and they were
enabled to bit it over the head
with a club (the only wav they
could possibly get them ANYHOW J
Just for instance: the law says
we must not use any means in
hunting ducks. geese, brant, etc.
that would in any manner de-
ceive the dear creatures-t they
should be able TO see the hunter
so they could 60 around the

LMPS INTO PORT AFTER
WEATHERING NUMEROUS
STORMS.

SEATTLE, Aug. 20.-Battered
and beaten by furious gales which
beset her almost constantly, the
British bark Zinita, Captain
Spivey, is in Seattle harbor today,
279 days from Newcastle-on-Tyne,
having been towed in last night.
Not in years has a sailing ship
brought to Puget Sound such a
tale of terrific gales, coming In
such numbers that the master and
crew believed that they were
doomed to find watery graves.
With rigging and canvas bear
ing witness to the most severe voy-
age of the year, with upper gear
damaged and weather beaten, the
Zhita overcame the hard luck
which followed her since she first
put out from the Tyne last Novem-
Der.
Before the square rigger had
cleared the English channel she
was twice compelled to put back
to port for repairs, her decks
having been swept and other in-
jury done.
Throw Cargo Overheard.
Off the River Platte, in the
South Atlantic, SO dangerous be-
came the plight of the vessel that
it was found necessary to jettisol
100 tons of f1rebricks from the
camp, which was rolling about II
the hold and threatening to break
the ship to pieces. Succeeding
storms and gales continued to at
tack the Zinita until Easter Sun
day when she was far south OF
Australia, having failed to nego-
tiate the passage via Cape Horn.

n0w UVER CARDS SENDS
One Man TO HOSPITAL
and ANOTHER TO JAIL

AS the result of a row growing
out OF a card game at the Tour
LIST hotel yesterday afternoon Al
bert Tourville, a logger, is lying
at st. Joseph's hospital with a bad
cut on the side of his neck and
Dell Williams OF Tacoma is held
at the city jail awaiting the result
OF Tourville's injuries.
Williams was running through
the alley at the rear of the Tour
list hotel yesterday afternoon, pur-
sued by several men, when PATROL
man Hicks stopped him. The
pursuers explained to Hicks that
Williams had been fighting and
the man was taken to the station.
After sending Williams in Hicks
learned that Tourville had been
wounded, but the way in which
the wound was made was not as
certained.
Witnesses to the affair thought
at first that Tourville had been
stabbed but no knife was found
on Williams when he was search
ed, nor was any weapon found In
the alley.
Williams says that the row be-
gun over a game of cards, In
which he alleges that he was
cheated. He says that he left the
game and went to the bar to buy a

Takes 500 Years to
Play Even

In reading the news items of our
papers 1t is astonishing to see how
many fires occur to property on
which no insurance is carried. 1t
seems to be trait of human ma
ture for each individual to think
that he is so careful as to be in
no danger of fire. At the present
low cost of insurance made by the
Northwestern Mutual Fire Asso-
citation of Seattle, it would require
five hundred years for the insur-
ance cost to equal one single total
loss on the best class of dwellings
and contents. In other words, a
man would have to be lucky
enough not to sustain a loss for
five hundred years merely to play
even. The man who realizes this
will surely not go without insur-
ance for another twenty-four
hours. ***

POSTMASTER SHOT
BY RANCHER

CHEHALIS, Aug. 20.-About
8 O'Clock last night, at Forest
postoffice store, eight miles south
west Of Chehalis, John Benier shot
Joseph Greuner, the postmaster,
inflicting what will probably be a
fatal wound.
Gruener was shot in the back
of the neck, and the latest news,
by telephone, was in effect that
he was in serious condition.
Benier is a young rancher, liv-
ing near Alpha. Mr.. Greuner Is
highly respected and has lived at
Forest for years.

game following him. He says
that the bartender held out 10
cents on him when he gave him
his change and then he accused
them all of being bunco men.
That started things going, ac-
cording to Williams, and he got
out the back door, the crowd fol-
lowing him. He says that when
he reached the alley the men at
tackled him and picked up a piece
of rock and threw it. not caring
who it struck. Then he ran.
1t is thought that the rock
must have struck Tourville in the
throat. At the Tourist hotel both
the bartender and the clerk, who
are said to have been mixed up in
the affair, say that they know
nothing of the fracas.
At the police station Williams
is said to be peacable man who
owns his own home on the East
Side.
DR.. l.. l.. Love, who Is attend
ing Tourville, says that his pa
tient will not be able to appear in
court for a couple Of days.

CHINA AND JAPAN
COMEs'FO TERMS

Diplomatic friction had been en-
conntered.
TRecently Japan handed her ul-
tfmatum to China in which she
declared that she would push the
reconstruction work to completion
without the aid of the Chinese
government. A large force Of men
was put to work on the line.
China appealed to the powers.
England backed the mikado.
Prince Chin was prevailed upon to
have the question reopened
through the efforts of the British
government which likewise
brought pressure to bear on jap
an. This resulted In the agree
ment of yesterday.

SHIP BATTERED AND BEATEN
BY FURIOUS GALES
Gave Up All Hope.

This last storm appeared to be
climax. 1t was so furious and
the bark so severely tried that
none aboard believed it possible
to weather the fury OF the ele-
ments.
Despite the damage to rigging
and sails, however, the passage
from Pitcairn island to Cape Flat
terry was made in AZ days.
For more than three months
the crew survived upon water that
was precariously taken during
rains. Many weeks before reach
ing port the -four supply was ex-
hausted and by soant rations of
hard bread and salt meat, was q
fare sufficient to sustain life pro-
yided.
