HUNTING DOGS

Many hunters from Wilmington and

carrying of dogs on passenger trains

nearly missing their trains on Friday

train.
There are stringent rules relating
to dogs and these rules are enforced
to the letter during hunting season

charge for 100 pounds OF excess bag

that dogs will not be checked beyond
junction points where wagon trans

Dogs do not form any part OF the
baggage allowance. Dogs exceeding

DRAFTING SYSTEM
REGARDED AS JOKE

The annual ceremony known in
baseball as the draft" ended, with
the usual result The major leagues
have lost nothing, the major leagues
have gained nothing. Seventy-seven
players have been dragged upward.
Of whom about 75 will be tossed back
next spring, If not before then
The annual draft has shown the an
nual bunco game; the gamble for
players who may be of some service
during the spring training series
who may possibly DO OF some adver-
Using value during the winter and
spring. and perhaps seven of the az
may be real ball players.
The draft has proved one thing.
aud that is that the system is one
huge Joke with which neither own
ers, players nor managers are salts
fed Still. the system exists. Each
year under the solemn auspices Of
the national commission the club
owners and their representatives
gather in Cincinnati There are por-
haps IS near ball players In the min
or leagues who haven't been sold or
held under some options Possibly
the owners in the minor leagues have
sold the players that the major lea
que scouts thought were best and
they have been hiding and covering
up the players who have real merit.
Very often, more often than not. min
or league teams possessing promis-
ing young players have kept them
out of the game. smudged their aver
ages. switched their positions and re-
sorted to other lodges TO prevent the
major leaguors from discovering that
these men we're OF real value. They
have boosted certain players they
wanted to sell at figures over the
draft price had covered up the play
ers they could sell, hoping for big
prices next season. They put IL up
to the big leaguers TO guess which
players are worth while, foisted poor
players. advertised bad ones, and con-
cealed good ones. The scouts we're
allowed to guess. and their guesses
are something weird and wild. For
instance. six clubs wanted Otis ely
mer. who has four times been a mai
or league failure and always a minor
league success.
Just how much each club drew is
pfOnlemducdl. Inc American dhhO-
citation furnished only six players TO
the big league. the International
yielded only seven, the Pacific coast
six, and the Southern six. Tho West
ern league lost only three men by
draft.
The conclusion is that either the
leagues had sold all the players who
were worth having or that the major
league scouts could not pick out
! playera who We're worth having.

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

Our readers will doubtless desire to keep
fully informed on matters at the State Capito

islature. Several important questions al
ready booked for action, such as the PROPOSE
ton of again submitting the liquor question to
popular vote, submitting an am andment to
for Good Roads, the distributing of the State.
and the amendment of the election laws, while
others now unknown will doubtless be brought
forward early in the session. Affecting as
State, prominent public man can afford to
do otherwise than maintain close watch upon
the proceedings of our makers from day

RAIN, DUST, FLEAS,

Along the coast of Washington and
Oregon there is great deal of rain, and
the winters are rather cold, but the
summers are beautiful. The feas are
very troublesome along the whole Pacific
Coast. In Northern California it rains
very much, but in the coast towns of
Southern California the weather is fine
both summer and winter. The interior
towns are extremely hot in summer and
rather cold in winter, especially at night,
and owing to the dryness the air; IS full
of dust
Physicians do not send to hot climates
so many people as formerly who have
throat or lung troubles. tuberculosis,
if not taken in hand too late, can be
treated as successfully in New England
as anywhere else. Anyhow, the best
place for sick person is at home,
among friends and acquaintance
Millions of dollars have been lost by
New England people who have invested
in fake oil and mining stocks, and in
various land and orchard schemes. My
advice is to let them alone, for if they
were any good, people where they are
located, would furnish all the necessary
money for their development
After much travel and investigation |
have come to the conclusion that for the
Workingman, for commercial business,
for manufacturing and for general farm
ing, New England offers far greater
inducements than either the Pacific
Coast or Florida. The Boston Herald.
