Montana has woman game warden.
She was appointed in place of her nus
band, who was killed by Indians last
fall while engaged in the discharge OF
his duty. There may be those who
think Montana needs an open season on
Indians as much as a close season on
game.

and Canada amounted to $l9,o4o,ooO'
making an aggregate of $72,OO6, 100 for

Rod of 1907 6,426.2OO.

ish Columbia, that Japan intends to
send cruisers to Behring sea, to look
after the interests of japanese pelagic
sealers will cause no uneasiness In the

grafton from Germany since 1871

The forest fire reported from KAN
loops, British Columbia, where settlers
are fleeing from the path of the flames,
should warn residents and property OWN
ers of northern Wisconsin and Michigan
that the season for fires has arrived, and
inspire them with watchfulness in regard
to brush and camp fires. Railroad sec
ton gangs should also be on the alert
for the suppression of incipient hres
along the rights of way.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson makes
a serious charge when he characterlzes
the transactions of the Patten crowd IN
the wheat market as mot the specu-
lators preying upon the spectators, but
the spectators preying upon the poor
men working for a living, whose wives
and children depend upon their wages
for bread" The Secretary continues to
discredit the wheat crop figures collect
ed by the group which has conducted the
Chicago deal.
Deep sea yachting seems to be popular
among amateur sailors on the coast. Six
entries have already been made for the
BROOKLYN Yacht Clubs race from Sandy
Hook to Cape May and return, for the
Croker cup, on the Sd of July. The race
is over a distance of more than three
hundred miles, and the course is one on
which yachts can get severe shakings
when the winds blow high. But rough
weather yachting is the real sport, and
amateur sailors seem inclined to leave
smooth water events to the motor boats

shortly to be unveiled in Paris is the
work of Jose de Charmoy, a young
sculptor who is Of mixed English anc
French descent and was born on the
island of Mauritius. The design com
prises colossal group representing
Beethoven reclining and supported by

music, grows steadily more effulgent.
The King of Italy has reason to speal
