The Wolf In Sheep's cIothino.

A wolf. clothing himself in the skin
of n sheep. and getting in among the
flock. by this means took the oppor.
tunity to devour many of them. At
last the shepherd discovered him and
cunningly fastened a rope about his
neck. tied him up to a tree which
stood hard by. Some other shepherds
happening to pass that way and OBJ.
serving what he was about, drew near
and expressed their admiration at It
What" says one Of them, brother
do you make hanging Of a sheep?"
NO" replied the other, but I make
hanging of a wolf whenever l catch

tion has not been so apparent in thu
past. but those who understand tn.
present conditions in Florida and in
cessity of taking some action to cut
wisely what forests remain. and pro-
vide for regeneration on lands that have
already been denuded. The report
explains the present situation in de-
tail and points the way for wiser
consideration In the future.
The south. with 81 per cent. OF the
total area of the United States. con-
tains about ~ per cent. of the total
forest area Of the country. The for.
est area by states Is as follows: Ala.
bama. 20.O0O.0OO acres: Arkansas. "a.
100000: Florida. 20.OOO.OOO: Georgia.
22.3OO.0OO: Kentucky. 100000: Lou.

600: Mississippi. l7.5O0.0OO: North
Carolina. 19.6OO.o00: South Carolina.
100000: Tennessee. 100000:
Texas. 30.OOO.OOO: Virginia. 10000.
900. and West Virginia. 100000.
The south. 1t will be seen, has still
much OF the virgin forest OF the
country. This forest must be used
of course. in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants OF the section. II
must be used in such a manner, how
ever. that the very most may be made
from its annual cut. while at the
same time this cut Is being replaced
by new growth. In this way its tim
ber will remain source OF perpetual
wealth.
The importance of forest conserva.
tion to southern interests is clearly
understood by the people of the south.
The future Of the south Is more near.
ly bound up in the plan Of forest pres.
ervation. with its accompanying pro-
lection to watersheds. power-streams.
and woodworking, industries. than is
anything now before the people OF
that part OF the country. Not only
Is the perfection of the watersheds,
which will some day furnish the pow
er to run all manufacturing establish
ments in the entire south. an impor.

dustries depending upon the forest
products will also be benefited by the

QuiniauLt Indiana Eisherlea.

The Quiniault Indians deserve
praise for the efficient and far seeing
methods adopted in the management
Of their fisheries. They have learned
the lesson taught by their white breth-
ren that II the salmon is to be con-
served the fish must be permitted to
go up the stream to the spawning
ground. This year the Quiniaults
adopted rule under which they
kept a runway in the stream free
from nets, and many thousands of
"bluebacks" were seen to pass up the
stream. Heretofore the nets have
been set promiscuously and no at.
tempt was made to conserve the fish.
But even with a runway kept open
the Indians enjoyed the greatest catch
in the memory Of old men Of the tribe
this year. The 10000 salmon caught
had value of about &45, 900, and of
this sum $4,000 will go to the heads
Of 80 families. That is $500 to the
family, a sum sufficient to provide well
for an Indian family a year.

OF Daniel Mcdonald OF Plymouth. who
as Il member of the Indiana lcIisla,
ture in 1907. secured an appropriation
of $500 for the purpose
The site is one OF the beauty spots
of nature. II is near where the old
Indian chapel was built. under the di.
rection OF Father Baden. in which
Menomince and his band. who had
embraced Christianity. worshipCd Tor
many years. The monument was cut
from Vermont granite. The pedestal
is ten feet high. surmounted by the
statue of an Indian seven feet high. in
native costume. II is near the center
of the Menominee reservation.
The story which leads up to the
monuments erection is briefly told
In 1882 a treaty was made with some
Indian chiefs by which they ceded
their lands to the United States for
$4,000 and agreed to remove to In.
dian Territory within two years
Menominee refused to sign this treaty
or release his land to the government.
When the Indians who had signed the
treaty were ready to remove another
attempt was made to get the Menomi.
nee lands.
council was called at Twin Lakes
and after considerable discussion Col
Pepper. the Indian agent. told Chief
Menominee that he would have to re.
lease his lands and remove peaceably
or be forcibly evicted. Then Menomi.
nee arose. drew his blanket around
him and with dignity and eloQuence
that would have done honor to famous
Chief Logan. rebuked the white man
for usurping the country. The coun.
Gil adjourned without result.
Later the Indians were accused OF
molesting the white men. They were
surrounded by the military and for.
chilly evicted. 1t was sad scene,
The village was wrecked. Mass was
sung in the little chapel by Father
Baden. the first Catholic priest or.
dained in Indiana
On September 4. 1898. the process.
sion started south. Many Indians fell
i'll. The soldiers were unsuccessful
and finally withdrew in favor of the
priest. Father Baden fulfilled his mis-.
sion and his journey, but on his re.
turn he died. His body now lies a,
Notre Dame.

 officers of the revenue cutter Ia hOma, which recently arrived from the sealing grounds in Boring sea, also state that this year the reports as gained from the sealing schooners show that the year will be a poor one in the north. Many of the schooners had less than 100 skins when the sea son was almost half over in July.
 The significance Of the news from Capt. Brown according to statements of the revenue officers lies in the fact that with the decrease of the seals the fleet of schooners will cease to ravage the seas in the vicinity of the Prlbilofs and the United States government will not be placed to the expense of maintaining a large fleet of cutters in the Boring sea.-seattle P.L

ment' has been the plea of autocrats the world over, The only way for people to become fit for government is by experience"
 Con.nuing, Mr. CougdOD stated tha. self government was x -ently satisfactory In the Yukon and that the peculiar local needs of the people were given better attention than they could possibly receive under gov ernment from Ottawa. Mir. Congdon stated that he thought Alaska was too large and had too many diversified Interests to be placed under one gov ernment and to obvlate these condl- tions he believed should be divided into two or three distinct territories.
 'I have a firm faith in the future of the Yukon" said Mir. Congdon. "The gold production this year was in excess of last year and from now on t will increase year by year. This year more than $4,OOO,OOO were taken out Of the Dawson district. What we need most are cheaper transporta- ion rates and better means of com EmunIcation. Last year Ottawa grant ed the Yukon S75,OOO for roads. This year will ask for more.
 There are promising indications of quartz in paying veins and this will be a great factor in future years. Then l think that industrial condi- tons in general are down to bedrock and that a gradual and certain devel- opment and improvement will come. This will help skagway, for your town will develop with the interior"

Frederick T, Congdon of Dawson, Member of Parliament from the Yu- kon, arrived in town yesterday and left today on the Humboldt for Van eouver where he will attend the meet. ing of the Canadian Railroad cOmmls- sion Oct 27. ErOm there Mir. Cong don will proceed to Ottawa where Parliament convenes Nov. II.
 Mr. COngdOn takes issue with Presi dent Taft and the other opponents Of Lome rule and states that he believes Alaska is entitled to home rule, that its people are amply capable of gov. erning themselves, and that home rul in Alaska would be successful as 1t has proven In the Yukon, where con
 dons are analogous.
 "I have not read President Tafts address in its entity" said MT. Cong. don, but have read SO many com ments that l feel perfectly familiar with it. I do not want to appear to criticize your President, but I cer. tainly feel that he has been m!siu- formed and does not appreciate con ditions in the north. It is ridiculous to say that Alaskans. are not capable of selE-goverument. know no peo- pie in the world where the average standard of intelligence Is 80 high.

That the days of the sealing indus try in the PrlbilOf islands are numbes ed and that the scene of the sealing fleet operations will center in the Falkland islands, is the opinion of Captain Nicholas Brown, well known in Seattle, who left for the Falkland islands almost one year ago.
 Capt. Brown, in a letter dated Aug %, to Capt, John Hickey, of the local hallbut fleet, stated that seals were plentiful during the past summer months, and that indications point to a visible increase in the herds for the season now approaching,
 While sealing off the FaIklands dur ing February and March, Capt. Brown found seal which bore the mark branded upon 1t by one of the govern ment agents at St. Paul island, show ing that the animal had travelled all the way from the Pribllot group to the Falklands, off the east coast of South America.
 Reports of the government agents on St. Paul and St. George islands during the past two years bear out the statement of Capt Brown, for the herds have decreased In that period

James Bullard of Fairbanks, q sour dough of the '94 vintage, arrived in town last Friday intending to go to Juneau and thence to Cordova. By some mistake his baggage was ship; ped through to Seattle and he will have to remain here until it is sent back.
 Mir. Bullard states that the stam- pede to the Idltarod fairly cleaned out Fairbanks and that it will be a quiet winter in the Tanana valley metrop- oils. At least 2,OOO people will winter in the Iditarod, according to Mir. Bull lard, and he believes that many hard ships will be experienced as grub is none too plentiful and the country is sparsely timbered.
 Mir. Bullard is friend of the Snow family of Skagway, as he mushed over the Chilcoot trail with them in 1894.
