is growing, of course, but not fast
enough. We have our membership
cards ready now and these will be
distributed at the meeting. The asso-
citation is in shape now to offer some
distinct advantages to it's members
and as there are no requirements for
membership except an UNDERSTOOD .obli-
cation Of true craftsmanship and a
nominal yearly fee, there is no good
excuse for not belonging to the or
ganlZatlon. The meeting tomorrow
night is open to everybody interested

Natural Nurseries.
One Of the things which will be dis
cussed at the meeting tonight will be
the plan to maintain at least three
fish nurseries in western Montana
where protection can be given the
trout fry that are planted. These
three nurseries have already been 10
Gated. one is a slough of the Bitter
Root river near Fort Missoula, an
other is at the Poe ranch. up the Rat
~tlesnake, and the third is at the
Davis ranch in the Big Blackfoot val
ley. Each place Is ideal for the use
and each has already been steadily
stocked with fry for several years.
The slough nea Fort Missoula is es-
pecially well adapted as a fish nurs-
cry and the club proposes to ask gov
aid in patroling' his so that
the young fish will have absolute pro-
lection. 1t is a big scheme and will
mean millions of fish a year for this
section of the state if it can be sue
c~essfully carried out.
Their will be other things of in
terest talked oyer tonight and the
meeting will be well worth while for

The Smallest Beast of Prey.

The smallest carnivUrous animal Tn the world is an American weasel, which is numerous in Northwest Canada and Alaska and is occasionally seen about the Great Lakes. It is true weasel, but only six inches long, with a tail only one inch in length. All its upper surface is in summer pure umber brown, but the throat, abdomen and ln- side of the legs are pure white; and, un- like any other weasel, it has no black at the end of the tail. Hence, although the animal turns white in the north In winter, it does not show the black
 tipped tail which characterizes an ermine pelt and so it IS not sought by trappers and fur traders. This fact
 with its small size and socretive life, has made it's babits very little known, but they seem to be much like those of other weasels. It feeds on insects, which it finds alive in summer and in winter digs out of rotten logs, upon small birds, etc., but lives mainly on mice. These it can follow iuto their narrowest holes and runaways, for 1t IS scarcely larger than field mouse itself; or, striking the trail of one, it will trace all it's wanderings, and as soon as It catches sight of it's prey Will sprlug after it with amazing and fatal rapidity. It is frequently caught by naturallsts in their mouse traps. An old Indian told Mir. w. H. Osgood, of the Blologi- cal Survey, who thus captured one Tn Southern Alaska, that it was promise of rare good fortune. His brother, he related, had taken one when boy and had in consequence become big chief. A good name for this least of the car nivores would be "Mouse-hunter." It is known to scieuce as Putorius rixosus.

Once again has the unfair and dis criminating order been made that all steerage passengers and crews of Seattle steamships sailing for Alaska must be vaccinated or produce proper certlfi- cate. Who is responsible for the order it is impossible to say, but there Is no reason for it, as there is not nor has there been smallpox in Seattle or in Alaska. The same rule does not apply to other ports or to such passengers or crews sailing for other countries. Representatives of the same govern ment brought to this country in 1858 and from then on malady similar to smallpox which originated in the Philip pines, but of course that case was diff ferent and no rude law was made to ln any way harm the splendid Americans of the Philippines. It is only for the savages of poor Alaska that any con- cern is felt. Oh! Uncle Samuel, what follies are committed in thy name by thy petty officers garbed in gold lace and suffering from the malignant dis ease, big head.-Railway and Marine News.

CaldwelI's Road Request
Laid Over by FreehOlders

The borough of Caldwell, through
Mayor Espey, came before the road
committee of the Board of Freehold
ers yesterday afternoon and sought
permission to open up $4,000 feet of
county roadway in that borough for
the purpose of laying water mains.
AS the borough, through the mayor,
also wanted to dictate the conditions
under which the permission should
be given, the granting of the per-
mission was laid over temporarily.
Mayor Espey wanted permission to
deposit an indemnity bond instead
of the usual cash deposit to guaran-
tee the restoration of the roads to
their usual condition after the work
had been done, and also requested
that an inspector be employed only
during the time the filling-in work
and repaving was going on, claiming
that county supervision was not
needed at any other time.
Complaints from a number of citi-
Zens against lack of oil on the county
roads were read and discussed. 1t
was explained by Chairman Seymour
p. Gilbert, of the committee that the
roads had not been properly oiled
owing to a shortage in the supply
of oil, but that large shipment was
now on the way. With it's arrival
all the county roads would be taken
care of, he said.
