matter OF course, and State Game
Warden Nowlin Of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last of the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesttcated. Several
ranchmen in the Rocky mountain coun.
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the prf
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barret Littlefleld, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising Of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest
ern Colorado. ]. B. Dawson, Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head Of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
The Glen Beulah deer preserve Is an
estate Of about 5000 acres near De.
beque, Col, and here one finds sew.
eral hundred deer and elk roaming
about. Henry Binning, Of Cora, Wyo.
has a large herd Of elk under enclos-
ure, and in report p the government
he shows how easily elk yield to cap
tivity when he states that the en-
closure in which he keeps the animals
is less than four feet high.
In nearly every state in the Union
the kiiiing Of deer is forbidden ex
cep&ing in the fall and during lin
tied period. If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand is there

Observation-Disclosures on the
w part of amateur diplomats con-
cerning the proper form Of diplomatic
correspondence nearly precipitated a
war scare in two nations not long
since. 1t was announced that the en-
peror of Germany had deliberately
affronted the United States govern
ment by employing affectionate terms
in addressing President Madriz of
Nicaragua, whom our government had
refused to recognize. s.st
Great and Good Friend" Is the
way the kaiser's letter to Madriz was
commenced. This had sinister sig
nificance to the amateurs. Immedi-
ately the newspapers were filled with
stories that Germany had espoused the
cause Of Madriz; that the Monroe
doctrine had been thrown down and
repudiated by the warlike kaiser; :;
also the emperor had been acting
queerly of late and undoubtedly was
bent on making all the trouble he
could for the United States. After a
little inquiry the war scare faded
away.

partment official, 1.-THE emperor never

Claiming damages for personal in
Jury, at Lambeth county court recent
", against a barber named A. Yer
rico of Southampton street, London,
the plaintiff, John Tremayne, said
that the defendant was cutting his
hair, and turned round as a customer
entered and cut a piece out of his ear.
Judge Emden Ito the defendant):
"How much of the ear did you take
Off" 81 have got it here" Laugh-
teri What! the ear?" Yes" The
defendant then carefully unwrapped
the portion of the ear from piece OF
paper and handed it to the Judge.
Judgment was given for the plaintiff
for 30 shillings.

FISH DROPS FROM SKY.

The township Of Red Bank, N. j.,
was the scene Of rather unusual oc-
currence one afternoon recently.
While Mr.. and Mrs. l. H. Alden were
chatting with friends on their porch
in Broad street, they were startled by
the Tapping of large weakfish, which
seemed to drop out of clear sky on
the green lawn. Then they heard the
cawing Of fishhawks and saw large
hawk chasing a smaller one which
had presumably caught the fish in the
Shrewsbury river. The weakfish made
dinner for the Adlems that evening

Father-You think so?
Mother am almost sure of 1t.
Father-Well, he Is not fit person
for her to marry. He is as poor as q

Father-Yes. What is it?
Mother-We must tell her that We

TRIAL BY TELEPHONE.

The fact that contagious diseases
cannot be transmitted over the tele-
phone wires enabled Judge F. e. Bow

home while quarantined because his
children had scarlet fever. The Judge
heard the evidence by telephone and
imposed a fine and a 60-day sentence
upon a young man for stealing.

A New Version,

Lawyers have a peculiar system of
.abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being, cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part OF q
solicitor, who, somewhat late In life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
ton while reading the lesson by deliv-
ering one Of the passages as follows:

Some interesting discoveries are re-
ported in France. Recently in ex-
cavations at the Abbey of Fonteyrault
some tombs were brought to light,
which are considered to date from the
Plantagenets. But at Senons we get
a glimpse of periods more remote, for
there discoveries have been made Of

A SERIOUS
QUESTION

The question of water in this
city is an all important one. "A
city without water is city of the
dead; it is the only city that does
not absolutely require any water
and yet water will, combined with
work and seeds make it beautiful.
Would you entertain for one
moment the idea of settling on a
ranch where there was no water.
unless you knew or felt that by a
reasonable outlay of cash, produce
and labor you could secure an
abundance of it to answer all your
present and future demands? Well
hardly. The water supply of FL
lensburg is limited. 1t is not equal
to or anyways equal to the present
demaud of the city, to say nothing
of future demands.
We are not finding fault with the
present system or its managers, it
is perhaps doing the best it can
under present conditions, but no
steps have been taken in years past
to add to the supply and make it
adequate to the increasing demands
neither is there any indications of
any such steps being taken now,
hence it..devolves upon the city or
some corporation to take steps to
meet the constant and growing
demands of the city for water
supply that will not only answer
present demands, but all demands
that may be tsade upon it for years
to come.
The Dawn has no AK to grind in
this matter further than working
for the best interests of all con-
cerned and a bigger and better
,Ellensbuug with a water system
ample for $4,000 population; a
system that will furnish pure, fill
tered water for domestic purposes,
and enough of it to fight success
fully the fercest fire that might
invade the city from within or
without. Men who have invested
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars in buildings and stocks in this
city; men who are trying to make
of Ellensburg a city in deed and in
truth, are entitled to the best ef
forts of the city in the protection
of their interests and their all,
money, buildings and stocks of
goods.
Ellensburg can live and flourish
without many of the luxuries in
dulged in by many cities, but she
cannot live and prosper longer
without one of the necessaries
water-and lots of it.

STREET PAVING

When the matter of street paving

being discussed by most everyone,
being a taxpayer and one who is
financially interested to the extent
of paving street front, we believe
we have right to express ourselves
in the matter, and we have no hes
itancy in saying from best infor-
nation obtainable. we believe that
bitulithic pavement is the thing to
use in Ellensburg. Hundreds of
cities have tried it and few, very
few, if any, have any fault to find
with it when properly constructed,
and of them speak in the highest
terms of it and say it is preferable
to anything else under any and all
conditions.
To start with, a thing to not be
overlooked by any means, it is a
sanitary pavement. 1t is dur
able it being estimated that under
ordinary conditions it will last 40
years; it is noiseless; easy on man
