Game Conservation.

The subject of game protection
is one which has called forth con-
siderable divergence Of opinion
in Louisiana not SO much as to the |
policy as to the methods whereby |
it may be made effective. It is
interesting, therefore, to know
what other states have done and
are doing for the proper conserva.
ton Of game and fish.
According to Chairman Brac ket |
Of the Fish and Game Commission
of Maine-the word commission
to some people in Louisiana is as
a red cloth to a bull the early
angler and the Fall hunter left
S20,000,000 in Maine in 1909.
Within twenty years, he thinks,
Maine will get a revenue Of
$1OO,0O0,OO0 annually from the
annual influx Of hunters and
fishermen. And the money spent
is distributed pretty widely and
where il is needed, The value Of
the forests, lakes and streams of
Maine, is, according to Mr.. Brack-
EFT, beyond estimate.
When we remember that in
nearly every respect Louisiana is
the equal if not the superior of
Maine for hunting and fishing we
get some idea Of the Importance
Of fish and game conservation.
/ We have the forests, the lakes and
1.-THE streams, and, while there are
no moose, there are species Of game
i and fish unknown to the Maine
woods and waters. A revenue Of
! S20,O00,00O annually would pay
off the State debt and abolish
State taxation, besides allowing
sufficient funds to continue and
enforce the conservation policy.
4 And the money thus derived would,
as in Maine, come almost exclu.
:. sively from nol.residents. Louis.
s iana's oyster industry alone offers
!, tremendous possibilities for devel-
opment.
d It is we'll to remember what
J, these other states have done for
j, the protection of game. It ought
4 to be q cure for much of the polit.
ical demago guery which prevails
when questions like this come up

MEXICO TIED UP
BY A GIGANTIC
RAILROADSTRIKE
(By United Press)

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. H.
A general strike of all the engin-
GERS and conductors on the Mexican
National lines was declared tonight.
The trains on the lines were aban-
doned and excursions to the Monte
rey bull fights tomorrow have been
called off.
Some time ago the American dis
patchers on the Mexican National
lines were let out and Mexicans
were put in their places. Now the
American engineers and conductors
refuse to work under the Mexican
dispatchers, who are, for the most
part, unframed in railroad work.
The strikers say the risk is too
great.
The strike effects every line in
the Mexican republic.

Perhaps half an hour later, Mr..
CalhOun's old negro man ushered
in this awaited guest, and we three
found ourselves alone in one of
those midnight conclaves which
went on in Washington even then
as they do today. Mr.. Polk was
serious as usual; his indecisive fea-
lures wearing the mask of solem-
nifty, which with so many passes as
wisdom.

he--when the latter had assured
him that my presence would entail

John Calhoun.
The chin of James X. Polk of
Tennessee sank down into his
stock, tentatively, as was always
his way until he got the drift of
things.
Wei, now, perhaps in the case
of England that is good politics"
he began. 1T is very possible that
the people hate England as much
as they do Mexico Do you not
think so?"

But l was only thinking of the

Now all the more was it neces-
sary for me and my friend from
Oregon to hasten on to Washing
ton. Rumors abOunded, l found as
soon as | struck the first cities be-
low the Canadian line. 1t was in
the air now that under Calhoun
there would be put before congress
a distinct and definite attempt at
the annexation Of Texas. Stories
of all sorts were on the streets; ru-
mors of the wrath of Mr.. Clay; yet
other rumors of interesting posi-
bilities at the coming Wing and
Democratic conventions. Every
where was that strange, ominOus,
indescribable tension of the atmos-
phere which exists when great
people is moved deeply.
Late as it was when l reached
Washington, | did not hesitate to
repair at once to the residence of
Mr.. Calhoun; and took with me as
my best adjutant my strange
friend Won Rittenhofen, who, !
fancied, might add detailed infor-
nation which Mr.. Calhoun would
find of value. We were admitted
to Mr. Calhoun, and after the first
greetings he signified that he
would hear my report. He sat, his
long, thin hands on his chair arm,
as | went on with my story, his
keen eyes scanning also my old
companion as spoke. l explained
what the latter knew regarding
Oregon. l saw Mr.. Calhoun's eyes
kindle. AS usual, he did not lack
decision.

presently, I'VE ourselves are young,
yet l trust not lacking in great
nations interest in the arts and

spect to certain biological fea-

The old gentleman rose and bow

Calhoun raised gentle hand
