SAYS THAT He IS THE PIONEER

The Hammond Liverymen's associa-
tion never proposed to put Fred Carter
out of business. in fact it thought it
self in friendly relation with him. and
as to his low rate of Is cents a person
for one cab trip, l want to say that I
inaugurated that rate and adhered to it
nearly three months before Mr.. Carter
came back from Crown Point" said
Henry Whitaker this morning In speak
ing for himself and the other livery
men in town.
Mr.. Whitaker's called attention to an
article which appeared in last night's s
issue in which Mr.. Carter and the Ham

in the light of conducting a war in
which the association attempted the
"sit down" on Mr. Carters activities
and the latter retailiating with a cut in
rates.

CANADA HARB0RS FINEST
FUR BEARING ANIMAL s
Wanton Destruction of Forests
Threatens Extinction of Game

AS game preserves, il IS claimed that
the northern regions and forests of
Canada furnish the finest fur bearing
animals in the world, the greater por-
tion Of these peits going 10 America
and Canadian cities. In a commercial
sense the millions OF dollars that have
been derived from this source of Can
adian wealth IS likely TO be curtailed
unless some preventive is found for
the constantly increasing Wanton de-
struction OF the forests and the many
fur bearing animals protected therein.
In 1905 the value Of dressed and un-
dressed fuEs exported from Canada was
S2.3S0.5S3. while the total value ex-
ported for the FIVE years from 1901 10
1895 was sl0.Ses,7S4. The total value
of lumber exported in 1895 was S27.-
e3e,s73. These figures show 10 what
immense proportions these productions
have arrived and how necessary is
their preservation.
In the Kingston district the land has
been denuded OF timber TO a great ex-
tent and the fur trade has suffered
accordingly. In 1908 the value OF fur
skins exported from Kingston amount
ed TO $2.737. while IN 1907 the value
was s4571 a decrease OF nearly half
At this rate the expectation viii en-
tirely cease within few years.

VALUABLE FIBER FOUND

Consul John F. Jewel OF Melbourne

an extraordinary hber OF marine origin.
which he says IS likely 10 prove OF
great commercial Importance. The
consul thus describes IL.

dings have been imprisoned b. the ac-
ton or the wind and waves n the sand
fats OF the gulf The foreshore OF the
part OF the gulf where the best depos-
its of the fiber exists is a long shelving
bank with a clearly defined belt OF i've
marine growth from low water sea
