Will ABATE
TWO NUISANCES

Much complaint has been heard &c,
Gently of careless splitting on the
streets and in public buildings Of the
city, and it appearing that no ordi
nance against the nuisance had ever
been enacted, and the need for one
becoming apparent, the council in its
meeting last night instructed the city
attorney to draw up an ordinance rel
alive to this and to submit it to the
board at it's next meeting.
Careless splitting is as needless as
it is harmful, and as nothing is more
dangerous to the public welfare in
the spreading of disease, it is surpris-
ing that the evil has been so long
overlooked.
Another nuisance which will be
acted upon at the next meeting is the
washing of hacks and other vehicles
on the paved streets. This Is usually
done at night, and causes a great deal
of inconvenience to the street sweep.

meaning of these figures. let me state
that the ordinary 32-caliber rifle has
a recoil of perhaps ten to twelve
pounds. The double-barreled shot
gun, which to the ordinary hunter

soil of from 25 to 80 pounds.
The 600 caliber cordite express is

Rifles of various caliber are carried
for economy. 1t is cheaper to use
small six five-tenths millimeter rifle
on email game, nine millimeter on
medium game, and a 600 express on
big game, than to carry one weapon
for all-round work, which would have
to be big enough at least for the
largest game. Nothing smaller than
a $50 express would do for that, and
it would be distinctly uneconomical.
not to say foolish, to shoot a small
antelope. the size of a goat, with
600 express. 1t would be like using
pile driver to kill mosquito. Again,
cartridges become very costly by the
time they reach the interior of Africa.
A cartridge for 500 express rifle, for
instance, costing sixpence (12 cents)
in London, reaches an enormous price

grounds of Africa. / have seen them

very scarce at that. Nor is this such
an extravagant price when one takes
into consideration that every ounce
has to be carried by porters who plod
for months through swamps. across
rivers, over mountains, traversing the
parched weld and penetrating the dis
NAL forest, ofsen fighting their way
foot by foot before they reach their
destination. 1t is easy to see that
weight is an important factor in cart
ridge economics. Four six five-tenths
millimeter cartridges are equal in
weight to one 900 express. That Is, It
is four deaths against one, for the
same weight.
