Pierre-The bee inspe ton act pass
ed at the last legislature session APP
pears to be very ambiguous in it's
wording. The law provides for a state
bee inspector, and the same was ap-
pointed by the governor. 1t also pro-
vides for an annual tax of 10 cents a
colony on all bees owned on the first
of May of each year, for the carrying
out of the provisions of the law. Coun-
ty t%reasurers have collected this an
nual tax and now ask the state au-
ditor what disposal to- make of it.

ones when the returns are greatest,
because during these months the
whelps are easily captured and size
does not count as far as the bounty
is concerned. The state is supposed
to pay a bounty of 81 on every coyote
killed and S. for each wolf, but as
the appropriation for the entire state
is only $13, 900 and the number of ami
mails slain is considerably in excess
of the funds provided, but seventy
four cents on a dollar is paid this
year. Last year it was seventy cents
on a dollar. There are men, however,
who gain a fair livelihood by devoting
their entire time to hunting the pests
and some are said to make as high as
SIS and at times 500 per month kill
ing them. In addition to the state
bounty some ranchmen pay a person
al bounty of from 81 to 50 per pelt.
Among these are c. K. Howard of
Smithville and J. H. Hart of Scenic.
A wolf pelt is worth from S. to $40
and that of a coyote from 50 to SO.
This applies to animals killed during
the cold weather and those that are
full grown. For a hunter knowing
the habits of the animals, it is not
much of a trick to average n coyote
a day with an occasional wolf. When
it is taken into consideration that the
ranchmen furnish the hunters with a
horse and then find them, the wolf
and coyote hunter makes pretty fair
wages as wages go and in addition
to all that has a lot of good sport.

ISLAND Of PICO
SWEPT BY STORM
Heavy Loss of Life and
Property Believed 20 Have
Been Sustained.

LISBON. Dec. 2s-Much anxiety is
felt here today for the safety of the
people on the island Of Pico. one of the
Azores, with which no communication
has been had since the storm OF Sat
urday.
IT is known that the storm swept the
island with terrific force and it is
feared there has been heavy loss Of life
and property there
King Manuel is stiu leading the work
Of relief in the Oporto district, which
suffered the heaviest damage Manuel
is in the saddle night and day. Owing
to the prevalence of Iandslides in the
district and the treacherous condition
Of the roads, due to the heavy rains.
the King is believed to be assuming
needless risks and his ministers have
sent him word to return as soon as pos
sible.
1t was found today that two Of Portu-
gals waTships were so badly injured in
the storm as to be practically worth
less.

President Recommend
Chan res Ii Sherman
Antitrust Law.
EMPHATIC LANGUAGE
WILL BE EMPLOYED
Voluntary incorporation and Gov
eminent Inspection to
Be Urged.

President Taft has almost completed
a special message he viii send to Con-
gress when that body reconvenes recon-
mending legislation he desires on the
interstate commerce law and the Sher-
man antitrust act.
II has frequently been denied in the
press that Mr.. Taft has any idea OF
recommending changes {n the Sherman
antitrust act. He has, nevertheless.
told some of his callers that ne means
to stand firm in his determination TO
urge upon Congress the enactment Of a
national incorporation act
He will point out in his special mes
sage that this should provide for vol
untary Incorporation" In this way the
good trusts will be distinguished from
the bad. because II a trust comes in
under the national incorporation privi-
lege, thereby subjecting itself to the
publicity demanded by the proposed law,
it viii. as a matter Of course. establish
itself as having nothing TO conceal re-
garding its operations.
In this way public sentiment will be
so built up as TO compel the national
Incorporation Of all the corporations do
ing business. If they do not take adj
vantage Of the privilege they will i'm
mediately subject themselves to sus-
picion and will compel the Government
to 20 after them in the courts
The fact that Mr.. Taft will send to
Congress recommendations on the-inter-
state commerce law is not new, but his
decision to act on the sherman anti
trust act viii come as a surprise merely
because Of the efforts which have been
made in certain quarters to discredit
the report that he would stand by his
pledge to have the corporations OF the
country properly controlled.
This message will be couched in en-
phatic terms. according to those who
have discussed il with Mr. Taft. and it
will leave no room for doubt that while
he means TO do nothing 10 iniure legiti-
mate business enterprise he is deter
mined TO have the trusts and corpora
lions OF the country comply with a law
which is sufficiently strong to keep
them under Government control.

GARFIELD EXPLAINS
ATTITUDE ON COAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The charge
that James r. GarfeId's recent speeches
on the coal lands controversy are op-
posed to the attitude he assumed on the
same matter when he was Secretary OF
the Interior. has stung him into reply
in the current issue OF Golfers Weekly.
Garfield did support coal bill. but
II was a general coal bill and not the
bill that was intended TO apply to
Alaska alone. In the bill he supported.
he says. there were provisions for the
separation Of surface and coal lands
Had the special Alaska BILL" writes
Garfield, containing the validating
clause ! opposed, been enacted, then an
claims charged with illegality or fraud
such as the Cunningham and like
claims-would have been patented and
the claimants would have paid SO an

We were willing 10 revise tile. coal

TO clear away existing difficulties of
administration and litigation but only
on condition that the government re-
ceive the real Va lue OF the coal and

Next to food itself there is nothing
Of greater Importance to the human
system than to make that food do its

1t is necessary first of all to chew food
thoroughly. Next the stomach must be
in condition to digest It, and the bowels

here SO many find their greatest trouble
The fermenting. undigested food stays in
the stomach and bowels, impairing the
nerves and blood, giving rise to sallow
complexion. headache, sour stomach, bad

All this is due to impaired digestion and

COAL FELL ON HIS HEAD.
Santa Fe Engineer Near Tender When
Locomotive Was COaling.

Chanute, Kan, Dec 17.-Dave Mason
of 1927 South Highland avenue, S-nta
Fee engineer, was hurt several days
ago by a lump of coal Weighing 81
pounds falling on his head.
The accident happened at Havana.
Engineer Mason was down thawing out
valve and the fireman was on the
tender taking coal The lump which
struck Mr.. Mason fell from a height of
20 feet. and if it had not been for the
fact that he was bending over and the
blow was a glancing one, the result
would no doubt have been much more
serious than it was. AS it was, the
skull was not fractured but a cash
three inches long was cut deep into the
scalp, which bled profusely.
