Indignation struggling for the upper

yet busted his fingers. In a trice the
binding gag was loosed, and ropes and
straps cast free from swollen wrists

OF a kindly arm behind his shoulders,
Maitland sat up, grinning with the
pain Of renewing circulation in his

enough to deduce from the knowledge

ing contrived his escape through the
disobedience of Higgins, should have
engineered this complete revenge for
the indignity Maitland had put upon
him.
How he had OWNED the fact of the
jewels remaining in their owners pos

reasonable. after all. to presume that
Maitland should prefer to hold his
own. Possibly Anisty had seen the

pocket while the latter was kneeling

that was. there was no denying that

The Auto Scorcher.

The car of progress finds many OBJ
stacles in it's path. When stage.
coaches took the place of riding
horses and saddlebags the old fash
Toned Englishman sighed and kicked
and wrote letters to the newspapers.
In 1850 DR.. Smollett wrote in Hum.
phry Clinker" that on the highroads
leading to London one must be "sti-
fed with dust and pressed to death in
the midst of post chaises, wagons and
coal horses" Today the automobile
is denounced as bitterly by modern
Britons as the stagecoach was de-
nounced by their forefathers of a hum
dred and fifty years ago. The Lon
don Times prints columns of COM
plants to the effect that automobiles
destroy the roads. fill houses along
them with dust and endanger life. In
America these complaints have a ia
miliar sound The motorist has few
friends, save those who get a free
ride in his car Yet he has come to
stay, and he cannot be suppressed.
His car is the car of progress. If he
destroys the roads they must be re-
built, for he has the same right to use
them as any one else. The water
wagon and the oil cart will ameliorate
the dust nuisance. If through his
carelessness he kills people he must be
punished so severely that he and other
reckless motorists will speedily re-
form. The great army of careful and
considerate automobiles will rejoice
to hear that he is in Jail, for ne inn
perils their lives as well as those of
folk afoot and brings discredit upon
all disciples of motoring. Perhaps the
whole vexatious problem will be solved
by the aeroplane On the dirigible bal
loon. If the airship becomes a prac-
teal everyday success the automobile
will doubtless join the bicycle in the
realm of comparative obscurity. Then
we shall have new troubles. Think
of being deluged with machine oil
from on high, of being bombarded
with screw drivers, monkey wrenches
and empty bottles, Of having ones
lawn all mussed up by falling aero
planists!

tor agricultural purposes and the AMI
r-als bid fair to be reduced to semi
some stication, being fed like cattle in
w;oter or confined to incloSed or re-
stricted ranges. The same experience
probably would have come to the
bison, bat it's fate was decided more
peremptorily. Very different, however,
are conditions in Alaska, and, so far
as can be seen at present, ample
"oom for wild game will be available
for years to come.
Even if bison, elk, and antelope had
remained abundant in the United
States, still the game of Alaska would
be of special interest because it in
cludes many fine animals quite differ
ent from these in kind and in habits.
The wholesome interest in nature
study and outdoor sc recently awak.
ened in the United States is likely to
he permanent, and future generations,
whether hunters, naturalists, animal
photographers, or simply lovers of ma
ture, will set high value upon the
possession of an undespoiled territory
furnishing primitive haunts for wild
game.
To the permanent inhabitants of
Alaska the value of game is obvious.
Indeed, although much game was
killed during the early rushes of gold
seekers, Alaskans generally have not
been slow to appreciate the necessity
of game protection and the sentiment
in favor of it is growing rapidly.
Prospectors and travellers in the
wilderness must depend largely on
game for food, and their necessities
have been fully recognized in the
game law Considerable game also
has been killed for consumption in
small settlements where no regular
supply OF other fresh meat is avail
able. However this be regarded, it is
evident that restrictions must be
placed upon the killing of game for
sale in large towns where the demand
is sufficient to endanger the very ex-
istence O. The species.
Besides serving as food, some of
the animals are of local value for their
skins, the whites having adopted many
of the articles customarily used by In
dams, as skin clothing, bedding, and
footwear. Most Alaskans, although
enjoying the sport, pursue game with
utilitarian purpose, yet not a few hunt
in regular season purely for the en-
joyment of the outing. and by such
the game is greatly valued, since it
makes life more tolerable in country
where diversions are limited.
The game Of Alaska has a very real
money value. Each individual animal
is part of a great interest-bearing cap.
ital. If all the game in Alaska were
brought together in one large Enclosure
the animals so gathered would far out
number those of the largest stock farm
in the world. Assuming it possible to
market such a herd a large sum of
money would be realized. But stock
raiser does not market his entire herd
unless retiring from business. He
sells only the annual increase in or
der that the herd may maintain itself
and assure an unfailing future income.
Viewing the matter solely from a bust
ness standpoint a similar conservative
course should be pursued with our
stock of wild game, the determination
of which for the sake of immediate
returns is absolutely indefensible.

The territory Of Alaska is Of vast
extent and possesses a varied climate,
broad rivers, innumerable lakes, deep
forests, and chains of lofty mountains
in short, many Of the chief attrib-
utes Of a natural game resort. It's
barren northern shores, frequented by
the numbering walrus and the formid.
able polar bear, are washed by ice.
laden currents, while its southern ex.
tensions support luxuriant forests in
habited by the graceful Sitka deer
Between these extremes are great
interior forests, the home of the lordly
moose, broad open tundras and roll
ing plateaus, traversed by herds Of
unsuspicious caribou, and snow-clad
mountain ranges, the stronghold of
sharp-eyed sheep and dull-witted
goats.
Among Alaska's game animals are
some of the largest and finest in the
world, as the giant moose and the
huge brown bears. The game of the
entire territory includes moose, carl
bou, deer, mountain sheep, mountain
goat, walrus, and polar, brown, grizzly
black, and glacier bears, besides a
variety of waterfowl, shore birds. and
upland game birds. In game resources
Alaska compares favorably with the
western part of the United States in
early days, and at the present time
it is one Of the most important game
regions in the world.
Without entering into the genera
subject of the value of game to all
countries possessing it, Alaska's game
may be considered chiefly with refer
ence to the features making it espe-
cially valuable.
Alaska is of particular Importance
as a game region because, of all
American possessions, it is the one in
which frontier conditions promise to
last longest. Notwithstanding its
wealth of mineral and other resources
the territory is not likely to be thick
ly populated, at least not for decades
to come. 1t is true Threads already
are beginning to citrate its wilds
and no doubt cities of considerable
size will develop, but, even SO, i'm
mense tracts far from populous cen
tiers will long remain in almost prime
val condition. This is apparent from
the great size of the territory and it's
climatic and photographic conditions.
It's area is almost one-fifth that of the
entire United States, and although
much of this is economically full of
promise ii must not be forgotten that
nearly one-fourth lies beyond the
arctic circle and that large proper
ton of the remainder consists of high
mountains and inhospitable wilds. In
the states irrigation is retaining
many arid tracts and drainage is max
ing it possible to utilize swamps and
waste areas which now furnish re
fuges for game.
From all parts of the country come
reports of an increasing scarcity of
game animals. Hence our remaining
natural game preserves in Alaska are
the more to be priced and correspond
ingIy to be guarded. Within the
United States certain kinds of game
may be maintained for years on their
original range, but for other kinds
the reserve is inevitable, as no re
striction of shooting can offset the
constant diminution of the natural
range they require. Thus most of the
winter feeding grounds of the wapiti,
or elk. already have been absorbed

The drummer fits
From place to place,
A smile seraphic
On his face,
Goes gayly up
And down the land,
A massive grip
In either hand.
He has a bunch
OF stories fine
To cheer the dealer
In his line,
And while they chuckle
AS he lies
He sees his orders
Grow in size.
Though man as yet
Can hardly fly,
He only hits
The places high,
Stops long enough
To make a sale
And then is Willie
On the trail.
Oh, drummer man,
With ample hand
You scatter sunshine
Through the land
And shoes, suspenders,
Mountain dew,
Good cheer, brass tacks
And liquid glue.
