Report of Game Warden.
The annual report OF the state game
warden filed with the governor makes
an interesting showing. Among other
things, it demonstrates that the new law
not only makes the department self-sus-
tanning. but that it turned surplus OF

due to the collection Of 81 fee from all
hunters and fishermen. The total receipts
were as follows:

Fire Chief Clement is strongly In favor
OF the construction OF separate mains
for fire protection in the business part

wells that have been abandoned for other
uses. Inability to get and maintain ade.
quate fire pressure on mains used for
general purposes Is the principal reason
for his advocacy.

Panama's marvels are the Gatun

You think you can manufacture a

cannot-not till you have gone down
their perpendicular sides thousand
feet and got aboard dumms; train
that journeys three-fourths Of mile
along the bottom; not till you have
cooked up and seen the cathedral arches
springing in glory from side to side

thick and marked the cistern holes In
the bottom of the channel, up and down
through which will move the strong
streams that will lift and let down the
ships of the nations into their cradles
with the tenderness of mother with

verts the size Of railroad tunnels. 1t IL
through these and through mighty

POSTAL CLERKS PROMOTIONS
Advances for $4,000 Men in Railway
Service Provided for.

Promotion for $4,000 railway postal
clerks on October 1 will be provided
in others to be issued today by Post
master-General Hitchcock. In the
railway mail service there are 5000
clerks and majority of those not
promoted on October l will receive
more pay before the end of the cur
rent fiscal year. More than $1,000
900 will be expended In making the
promotions A reorganization of the
railway mail service and increased
pay for postal clerks were authorized
in the ~recently-enacted post-office ap-
preparation bill.
The project was urged by Post
master-General Hitchcock in the be-
lief that it would result In far greater
efficiency in the service and in the
making of promotions along fairer
lines. Although more than S1,000,000
year will be involved in the in
crease it will cost the government no
more. Postmaster-General Hitch
cock has perfected plan to save that
amount by Encouragement of rail-
way mail car space and the amount
the government pays annually to the
railroads.
The new law rovides for three
classes of railway postal lines with
their transfer and terminal Office.
The compensation will be highest for
lines on which work is heaviest. Be
ginning with 5000 a year, all clerks
who render faithful and efficient SER
yioa will raoaiua annual nrnu OtiOng
of 800 until they reach the maximum
of the successive annual grades, af-
ter which they may be promoted for
specially meritorious service until
their pay reaches $500 year. Chief
clerks in the railway mail service
will receive salaries of $4,000.
