African Animals a Menace.

Complaints are coming to the gov
eminent from some of the South Afri-
can protecturates that the policy of
protecting and preserving Wild animals
is being overdone. For some years the
government authorities, fearing the ex-
termination of those animals which
have any commercial value, have linn
tied the number which individuals may
shoot and guarded against reckless
slaughter by system OF licensing the
hunters. Shooting in the protectorates
appears to be ON the decline from the
reports received by the Colonial office.
Elephants were the most valuable
game on account Of their ivory. but
under the licensing system il has
hardly been worth while from a bust
ness standpoint for n man 40 go To the
expense of killing the small number
permitted. The Governor uf Uganda
makes serious complaint of the ele-
phant pest.
"Owing To the rapidly decreasing
number of licenses which are being
taken out. and the consequent immu
nifty Of the elephants from attack" he
writes. these animals which have al
ways been source OF Danger TO the
inhabitants and OF damage to crops,
have become still more dangerous and
destructive. and they are becoming
holder In approaching inhabited areas.
Reports are constantly coming i'm from
administrative officers, telegraph OFF,
GERS and others Of the destruction
caused by their devastating habits. 1t

A Boost for Warner.

Our Representative c. H. Warner
is chairman of the public lands COM
mittee in the house and 1 am fully
satisfied that when the legislature
adjourns, we will have some new
valuable public land legislation on
the statute books. I am fully salts
fed that we can have monthly state
land sales under the laws by that
time and that will be often enough
to give us chance to work on them
and get them filled with settlers. l
believe Mr.. Warner is the best quail
fed man in the legislature for the
position he has there and he also
has, I sincerely believe the disposition
to get us what we need in the way of
changes in the public land laws,
those added to the ability he has,
ought to leave nothing more to be
asked for in that line.-Kolls Kollum

MistIetoe a Menace,

Few people who know mistletoe only
as desirable feature Of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
IS a parasite dangerous to the life of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
1t is only a question of time after
mlstletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life Of
the infected branches. Fortunately it
IS OF slow growth, taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected it invariably ruins all trees
it reaches. The only method of exter-
mination is the cutting down of dis
eased trees.-E1change
