vastly in those places.
While the killing has not been entire
ly stopped, the fight for the birds has
made great progress. The reserves cover
much territory and it is impossible for
the association to properly patrol them
because of a lack of funds.
The nation appoints one warden for
each reservation, paying him the munifi-
cent salary of 81 month. He must look
for the balance of his income to the Ma
tional Association of Audubon societies.
There are in the association but 1000
members, each paying annual fees of S.,
and with that meagre amount all of this
meritorious work must be carried forward.

Poisoned by Honeysuckle.

One of the most favorite and beautiful
of our flowers is the common honeysuckle,
but it would seem to have its dangers.
The Lancet mentions a case occurring in
the practice of Dr. Engh of Volden. in
which little boy two years old was poi
soned by its flowers The child after be-
ing in the garden playing with the flow
ers became tired and drowsy and then
complained of thirst Our contemporary
describes the symptoms that followed and
adds that the boy made a good recovery,
but was peevish and inert for some days
Various kinds of honeysuckle have been
used incidentally as diuretics and diaphor-
etics, and it is, well that it should be
known that some of the varieties at all
events are far from harmless. The flow
ers appear to be specially dangerous when
freshly picked-Westminste Gazette.

State Free Employment Bureaus
Show Improved Efficiency Tn
der His Management.

From the Minnesota Union Advocate:
That the appointment Of A. e. Kel-
lington as superintendent of the state
free employment bureaus was a iudi-
c1ous one is shown by results already
secured. Mr.. Kellington has given
the duties Of his office close and care
tul attention, and has introduced
greater efficiency in the bureaus with
a corresponding reduction Of cost. to
the state. His report for the month
of May, which has just been filed with
the labor commissioner, shows that
during that month positions were Sc
cured in the several offices as follows:
In the Duluth office-For 225 wo-
men and 681 men.
In the st. Paul office-For 2O7 wo-
men and 400 men.
In the Minneapolis office-for 561
women and 1884 men.
The expense Of running the several
offices for the month were: Duluth.
$27749; st. Paul, $22365; Minneapo.
lis, $248.30; total, $749.44; average
cost to the state persituation secured.
26A cents. This is a gain of nearly
1917 cents per situation over the out
lay for April, when the average cost
was 442-3 cents per situation se-
cured. 49,. :

Steamer Walker Crashes Open
the Gates With Disastrous
Effect.
Accident Caused by 1ncompetency
of Steamer Non Union
Engineer.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, June 10.
With all the weight of Lake Supe-
rior behind it, an ungoverned torrent
of water rushed last night through the
$4,000,000 Canadian canal built to carry
vessels around the impossible rapids
of the St. Mary's river.
The entire. fall of approximately 20
feet is concentrated in the lock which
was wrecked yesterday when the
steamer Perry G. Walker of the Gil
christ fleet rammed her bow through
the lower gate. The canal encased
within its walls last evening presented
tremendous spectacle, including two
waterfalls and a giant whirlpool.
The upper gates were open when the
Walker crashed open the lower gates,
and the tremendous power of the
rapids was given instant play. The
steamer Assiniboia, a passenger liner;
moored within the lock chamber, was
torn away from her moorings. Riding
on the crest Of the flood she ia1nmed
the Walker from her path, the ASSN
niboia's port anchor ripping a hole in
the Walkers side.
The liners engine crew put on full
steam ahead In desperate endeavor
to give the big vessel steerage way
and with her wheelsman battling to
overcome the swirling current, the As
sinniboiai swept into the open reaches
of the river below.
The AssinnibOia's cargo shifted and
this gave her considerable list and
several plates on her port side forward
of amidships were loosened.
Walker Lands on Shoal,
The Walker was whirled around sew
eral times and finally landed on a
shoal out of the channel. It Is said
she is undamaged below the water line.
The ore-laden steamer Crescent City
of the Pittsburg Steamship company,
which was just entering the locks from
Lake Superior when the accident &C
Cured, was swept down stream like a
feather. She overlook the Assinntbo1a
and struck the latter two glancine
blows after having a great hole torn
in her side as she careened past the
broken lower gate. Tugs caught her
and towed her to the American side.
where she settled to the bottom. Both
the upper gates Of the lock and one
lower gate were wrenched from their
moorings. The other lower gate still
hangs to its fastenings. twisted and
broken.
The loss to the Canadian government
will probably reach $250,O00 and the
damage to the Crescent City is 'esti-
mated at 100000. The damage to the
steamers Walker and Assiinniboia was
comparatively light. yr.:
