NAVY WOULD PLAY.
Will Cancel Army Game Only If West
Point Insists.

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 1.-The tele-
gram of Colonel Scott, superintendent
of the West Point Military academy
tc superintendent Bowyer of the Naval
academy expressing the desire of West
Point to discontinue football for the
rest of the season as result of the
fatal accident to Cadet Byrne in the
game with Harvard last Saturday was
received by Captain Bowyer today. 1t
was referred by that official to the
executive committee of the Navy Ath-
letic association for consideration and
9 recommendation to the superintend-
ent. The committee will meet next
Wednesday. This action followed a
consultation over the telephone be-
tween Bowyer and the navy depart
naent at Washington. Should West
Point persist in it's stand it naturally
stands that this years game between
the two academies will be called off.
Neither the death of Cadet Byrne nor
the injury to Midshipman Wilson will,
Il is said, have any effect upon the
continuance of the game at the Naval
academy. --.-'f ..
The Naval academy authorities made
Up their minds several days ago that
even should death follow Wilson's in
iuries, the remaining games, including
that with West Point, should not be
cancelled.
Sorrow continues to be felt and ex-
pressed at Annapolis, particularly
among the navy over the death of
Cadet Byrne, but it is pointed out the
annals of the academy show that more
midshipmen have lost their lives from
swimming, boating, gymnastics and
ether sports than from football, and
none of these sports have been aban-
doned, therefore, the gridiron sport
should not be dropped either it is con-
tended
AS each day goes by and Midship-
man Wilson holds his own, hope for
his ultimate recovery revives.

CRANE TO EUROPE.
Can't Attend the Testimonial Banquet
in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. Charles R. Crane,
who recently was recalled as minis
ter designate to China. will leave in
a few days for Europe, according to a
telegram received here from New York,
assigning the trip abroad as his reason
for declining a public banquet proposed
in his honor.
Mr.. Cranes telegram was addressed
to David R. Forgan, president of the
National City bank and one of so
prominent Chicagoans who signed the
invitation to the banquet which was
intended as an expression of belief in
the correctness of the former minister
designate's attitude just prior to his
recall.

life, and even in the face of an an
nual slaughter of at least five thou
sand animals by hunters in open sea-
son, great destruction in certain quar-
tiers by wolves, loss from starvation
due to heavy SHOWS, and more or less
illegal killing by settlers and poach-
ers, seems to have been increasing in
numbers in recent years. To say that
10000 deer are today roaming our
northern forests may seem rash ex-
aggeration, but careful examination of
certain widely separated typical To-
calities leads to the conclusion that
it is safely within the limit of con-
sentative probability. What are 3d.
600 deer worth to the state of Mime
sofa? On the lowest sordid basis of
food value, their worth exceeds half
million dollars, not to speak of their
far greater value as game, the legiti-
mate pursuit of which, by hunters, is
one of the most invigorating and
health-giving of recreative sports.
The largest game animal, surviving
on the American continent, is the
moose. Owing to the magnificent
growth Of antlers supported by the
male, which are eagerly sought by
hunters as trophies, as well as to its
great size and peculiar characteristics,
it is most interesting and important
species. Only three states of the
Union, Washington, Minnesota and
Maine, now have moose in sufficient
numbers to safely permit the killing
Of them. Washington has compare
lively few-Maine has many, but they
are most numerous in Minnesota Of
any state. Their range extends along
the Canadian border from the eastern
extremity of Cook county to the Red
River valley, over a territory 300
miles long and varying in width. 1t

standing the heavy drain upon them.
Inc Minnesota river, and some in.
terror lakes are also filed with carp,
and some legal method should be pro-
Vlded whereby they may be taken
and made use of commercially, their
presence being, on account of in
creaslng numbers, a menace to the
better varieties of game fish.
Lake trout and herring constitute
the bulk of the North Shore catch.
Whitefish once formed an important
item, but they are gone, due to de-
structive methods and over fishing.
Lake trout will go the way the white
fish went unless the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries may succeed in propagat-
ing this fish in quantity to maintain
the supply. From the Lake of the
Woods come half million pounds of
yellow pike annually, as we'll as haIf
as much each of whitefish and pick
erel. Fifteen years ago this one lake
produced an annual catch of a mil
lion and half pounds of sturgeon
and great quantities of caviar, but in
the year last past the sturgeon catch
had dropped to $1,000 pounds, so that
a close season for five years by in
ternational agreement is now pro-
posed.
The law does not permit the export
of fish from the inland waters of the
state, hence we have no inland COM
mercial fisheries, except so far as the
local markets are supplied with pike,
nickerel, crappies and sunfish, caught
in a small way with hook and line in
inland lakes. This sort of fishing has
been carried even to the point of ex-
termination in some lakes, which has
given rise to a movement looking to
the prohibition of the sale of pike,
which would deprive thousands of the
privilege of an occasional taste of
this, the choicest of our food fishes,
as well as curtailing the available
food supply of the people, except for
those who are fortunate enough to be
able to go forth with hook and line

wiser, better, and more far-seeing
policy to provide for the immediate
extension and enlargement of the ia
cilities of the state for the artificial
propagation Of these fish? This is
reasonably well understood, and is
carried on with marked success in
the state. There is no field of pro-
ductive effort that pays so well in
actual profit, in proportion to the cost,
as the artificial propagation of fishes

from year to year, wholly due to arti-
fetal propagation and planting, with
out which we would have no brook
trout at ALL
ground for water fowl, Minnesota
leads every state. Thousands of
lakes, sloughs and marshes produce
annually innumerable teal, mallards
and wood duck. Since spring shoot
ing has been stopped, the local crop
of ducks has materially increased, and
Minnesota marshes attract sportsmen
from all parts of the country. Drain
age and increased population will in
evitably encroach more and more up
on the breeding places of water fowl,
but never in this state to the extent
of determination, provided that all
other states will follow the excellent
example set by our own, and stop the
shooting of these birds in the mating
season. and control the business of
the destructive market gunner. Fed
eral regulation of the season for shoot
ing migratory waterfowl, owing to
tardy recognition by number of
states of this essential precaution,
may be the ultimate solution. This
one all important precaution neglect
ed, and some of us will surely live to
see that sad day when wild ducks will
have disappeared from the whole of
North America.
Before the advent of civilization,
and the Transformation of our grassy
prairies into fields of grain, this state
offered ideal conditions for that finest
of all game birds, the prairie grouse,
but those conditions are gone, never
to return. Some of our children may
never hear the booming of the prai-
rie chickens in counting season and
it may be only pleasant recollec-
ton for many of us. The prairie
chicken still affords some excellent
shooting in certain restricted sections,
and may be retained for many years
to come in limited numbers, but it
can never be restored to the thickly
populated and highly cultivated por-
tion of the state. It's place, however,
may, in measure, be taken by the
CHEEKY little Bob White, if the farm
ers, whose best friend he is, come to
realize his value to them as an aid
to crop production, and furnish the
little food and shelter required to
carry him through the winter months.
The ruffed grouse will always be
more or less plentiful under favorable
| climatic conditions in the wilder
wooded portions of the state, and we
yet have considerable numbers of the
sharp tailed grouse and the spruce
| hen.
While originally the habitat of the
red deer included all the wooded area
of the state, at the present time it is,
roughly speaking, defined by that por-
ton clothed with coniferous forests.
This includes an equilateral triangular

off timbers which were riveted to the

had remained untouched.
But the storm increased, the waves
rose in height, and soon dashed
against the lantern, which was $50
feet above the level Of the sea. Final
ly the water washed over the top Of
the lighthouse, coming in through the
ventilators overhead.

looking seward would be broken in

they themselves should be washed out
into the sea to certain death. But the
iron lattice work outside the windows
saved the panes from destruction.
The light keepers, who were old
sailors, affirmed that no experience on
shipboard could be as horrible as this
long struggle with the storm at the
