WOOD BISON, PROGENITOR
OF BUFFALO, is FOUND

The report of the murder by Eskimos
of explorers III. w. Radford and George
Street transmitted by Commissioner
Peary, of Regina, Canada, for an inves-
tigation of the Hudson Bay district
record serious loss to geological sci
ence. says the New York Times. The
Smithsonian institution received last
year from Mr.. Radford, who left this
city for the north in January, 1909, the
first definite evidence of a species of
bison, unknown to the western prairies
inhabiting northwestern Canada In the
region of the Great Slave Lake. The
skeleton and skull of the wood hison
now in the National museum at Wash
fngton are the only specimens OF the
kind In the world. Mr.. Radford killed
his wood bison in herd of $50, found
in rugged and precipitous mountain
region far from any prairie, and in u
part of the continent geologically older
than the prairie regions.
The prairie buffalo is almost extinct
But 1t is probable that, by the efforts
of public spirited men like DR.. w. 4.
Hornaday the few descendants of the
vast herds of bison that once overran
the prairies will be perpetuated. Prior
to Mr.. Radford's verification of reports
concerning the bison of the Great Slave
lake, DIR. Hornaday was of the opinion
that they were northernmost herd of
the familiar type of the plains. 1t is
now the belief of all American natural .
lists that the wood bison Is distict
species, perhaps the ancestor of the
prairie buffalo. The two varieties may
yet have free range in the great ma
tional parks. and may be permitted to
multiply under the protective care of
the civilization that all but destroyed
them. The wood bison is more massive,
broader and bigger in every way than
the bison OF the great west; gen
Grafton hence may witness their in
crease in great numbers as a proper
substitute for the nearly exterminatei
species. But it is of Importance that
the records gathered by Mr.. Radford
and his companions should be recovered
and made the basis of further attempts
to win back this lately discovered spe-
cies to its place of vantage among
Anne erican fauna.

Yale has in the last few years grounded
hard and fast on a slump In athletics.
The trouble has been chiefly with football
and rowing. It's streak such as any
university might run against, but with
Yale it's especially noteworthy because
of the high place New Haven athletes
have always held in the world of sports
And to make it worse, the outlook is
not promising this year. The crew has
demonstrated that it is outclassed while
burdened with the handicap of the Brit
ish stroke. and the football team will
have to take a tremendous brace if 1t
hopes to beat Harvard.

One evening at O'clock man with a
wife and IL children. many of them grown
up, appeared at the entrance to an en-
tertainment hall, bought two tickets, and
demanded that the entire family should
be admitted.
The doorkeeper dec.ned to admit the
family with two tickets only.
But all these are my children" said
the man.
"Of course said the doorkeeper; "but
some of them, are too old to be admitted
free"
TOO old? What's that to do with it?
Don't 1t say on your bills that children

Yes"

A maiden lady had to make trip
alone to New York City, and her friends
advised her to stay at a well known

Speaking of her experience after
wards, she said:

never felt so exposed in my life"
Exposed Aunt Emma why, how

TOO MANY WORLDS FAIRS
FOR EJIROPEAN NATION

THE refusal of Great Britain and
Germany to participate in the San
Francisco fair. is not due to pique
over the Panama canal dispute but to
the fact that the governments of the
two nations have failed to appreciate
and to differentiate between the Call
fornia exposition and worlds fairs that
have gone before says Mark Weaver
of San Francisco, as quoted by the
Washington Post. "The nations of the
world can hardly be blamed for ballx-
Ing on taking part in international ex-
positions every year or two, and par
ticularly here in the United states
where we have had so many. But we
feel out In San Francisco that there
Is difference. The coming exposition
Will celebrate the completion of what is
undoubtedly the greatest undertaking
ever accomplished by man. 1t was the
dream of Cortez that some day the
fsthmus that Joins North and South
America would be cut In two 1t is not
to be wondered at. therefore, that this
country should feel proud that the
United States has done the work which
another nation failed in. 1t is entirely
hitting that great big international
exposition should be held to commem
crate the opening of the canal, and in
my opinion, all nations Of the world
ought to join In the celebration. Great
Britain and Germany simply do not

NEW COUNTY HIGHWAY
 PARTIALLY OPENED
Worst Stretch of Tempe Phoenix Road Goes Out of Use With Opening of Two Miles of
 New Road This Week.

The four miles of new state high way between here and Phoenix are to be partially opened to traffic the last of this week. Present plans are to make temporary connections with the present Tempe road in the vii cinity of the Arizona Portland cement lant, thus making it possible for the traveller to escape the extremely bad load of a mile length just north of Tempe. Whether or not the new road would be wholly opened to the public by fair week. as was intended when work was started the early part of tie summer, has been a matter of much speculation of late, CT even weekly required to make the trip frcm the southside to Phoenix bN way of Tempe.
 At present about eighty convicts are at work on the new road under supervision of Engineer F. c. TWitchell, who has been in complete charge of the work from the time plans for the new highway were drawn up months ago.
 Many deep cuts of regulation road width, grading and constructing in numerable small and large culverts, all to be done through rough, rocky country, takes time. All the work on the highway is being finished up as they progress, thus leaving about two miles of the road nearest Tempe il condition for regular travel at the present time, but because of no suit able connection with the present Tempe Phoenix highway the new stretch of road has been little used.
 Since they are unable to get the whole of the new road in shape for the increased travel of fair week Engineer Twitchell will provide a temporary road connecting the new and the old highways in the vicinity of the cement plant. Consequently, as d whole, the distance between here and Phoenix will be in good travelling condition during and after fair week.
