Sterling, Colo.-The pride of GER
tain trapper and bad man" of this
neighborhood is completely cast
down. his spirit crushed to smither-
eehs. After bluffing out most of the
deputy game wardens and other peace
officers generally, he has been arrest

There is no real reason why he
should feel excessively Inundated A
husky repeating rifle, loaded with
steeljacketed bullets, will kin as
quickly when womans finger press
es the trigger as when the best shot
on the plains does the same thing.
1t all depends on the success and the
intent with which the rifle is aimed.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Christie
Partridge widow, was made game
warden. The trapper works in her
district, and, although there is law
against trapping beavers, he has dis
regarded it Systematically, placing not
unwarranted faith in his bad man"
reputation.
The other morning, just as he had
visited his traps and rebaited them,
he was surprised to hear a noise in
clump of bushes behind him. He
turned and found himself gazing into
the muzzle of a rife The butt of
the rifle was resting comfortably

Nation Loses Millions by Bad Roads

saving millions. of dollars each year
to those countries where such roads
are maintained.
The cost of hauling over our coun-
try roads is now about % cents per
ton to the mile. In the European
countries as long as IS years ago the
cost had been reduced to 10 cents, and
it is much lower today. On some of
the roads going into London, by the
motor cars now in use, it is less than
four cents, and by wagon freight can
be hauled almost anywhere on the con-
tinent for from one-half to one-third
it's cost in the United States. The
saving effected under this system
amounts to hundreds of millions of
dollars every year.
According to the report of the inter-
state commerce commission in 1906,
our railroads handled more than $780,
100000 tons of freight which originat-
ed on their respective lines. All this
had to be taken to and from the cars.
A great deal of it was made up of the
products of the farm and the forests,
and it is estimated that at least 200,-
100000 tons of it had haul of nine
miles at a cost of % cents ton. That
bill alone would represent more than
$400,000,000, and other freights and
hauling would run the sum to $780,
100000 or over. Now suppose We cut
the wagon freight bill in half, or to
liz cents ton, which is still far
above the cost of hauling in Europe,
and the saving would be $250,000,000

Modern Wooden Sailing Ship.

There is general idea that the
wooden sailing ship is thing of the
past, but there recently loaded at
Baltimore for its maiden voyage a
wooden vessel that far outranks any
that ever put to sea. This is six
masted schooner called the Wyoming,
and is a splendid ship in every par
ticular, with gross register of 1880
tons, or twenty-five tons more than
the well-known steel hull six-masted
schooner William L. Douglass of Bos-
ton. The Wyoming is 329 feet 2
inches long, 80 feet inch beam, and
80 feet 4 inches depth of hold 1t has
three decks, with five discharging
matches, and took as its first cargo
5,S22 tons of soft coal for Boston.
The frame of the huge schooner is
securely strapped with iron and it's
keelson is protected with big bands of
sheet iron. Telephones, steam pumps,

The only way to stamp out the use Of
opium and cocaine primarily is
through interstate regulation.
"Since the importation of opium was
prohibited, in 1909, process of manu-
facture has been evolved which has
left the door wide open again. The
process of manufacture is very simple
and can be carried on quietly for
years. The crude opium is bought
from druggists who, without an inter-
state regulation law, can import the
crude drug and distribute it at will.
