"No league can be a success unless
order prevails" declare these folk.

Sir: The insinuations contained IN

COL. ROOSEVELT IN THE JUNGLE

Colonel Roosevelt seems to have struck

nary run for his money. Emerging from the
forest. reduced ffty-tive pounds In weight and
suffering from a boil on his leg, the ex-President
must have encountered strenuous life in telling
phases or perhaps he finds that he is not so
young as he used to be.
Mr. Roosevelt is giving the public through
Scrbner's magazine a description OF his en-
counters in the South American forest and his
first contribution furnishes the following de
scription of the country through which he has
travelled:
"Then for miles we rode through beautiful
open forest of tall slender caranda palms, with
other trees scattered among them. Green paro-
quets with black heads chartered as they flew;
noisy green and red parrots climbed among the
palms; and huge macaws, some entirely blue,
Others almost entirely red, screamed loudly as
they perched in the trees or took wing at our
approach If one was wounded it's cries kept its
companions circling around overhead. The nat
uralsts found the bird fauna totally different

fauna, although very interesting, is rather poor
in number of species and individuals and in the
size of the beasts. 1t possesses more mammals
that are unique and distinctive in type than does
any other continent save Australia; and they are
of higher and much more varied types than in
Australia. But there is nothing approaching
the majestic, beauty, and swarnling mass of the
mammalian life of Africa and in less degree,
of tropical ASIA indeed, it does not even APP
proach the mammalian life of North America
and northern Eurasia, poor though this is COM

in the Old World. Until a geologically recent
period, period extending into that which saw
man spread over the world in substantially the
physical and cultural stage, of many existing
savages, South America possessed varied and
striking fauna of enormous beasts-sabre-tooth
tigers, enormous lions, mastodons, horses of

TIE LIVE ISSUE


To an audience which quite filled the audi
torium of Central Union Church some few weeks
ago the President of the Local Anti-Saloon
League, DIR. John w. Wadman, in an address on
the Temperance situation in Hawaii, stated that
the conditions in Honolulu calling loudest for
reform under the present license system were:
First-The unnecessarily large number of sa-
looms. -.
Second The close proximity of certain retail
places to the fish market and the pathetic scenes
enacted there every Saturday afternoon,
Third-The special privileges granted the no
tells permitting them to keep open bar until I
o'clock in the morning. =
The appeal made by the speaker seemed to
find response in the breast of every sensible
person present, including several men prominent
; IN the liquor business. This paper is convinced
that the time has now come when a campaign
should at once be inaugurated in order to carry
cut this proposed program of reform We have

IN view if the fact that a great Temperance

Sidney S. Haigler, Of Cameron Sec
ton, Struck in House.

Cameron, June 26.-The citizens
of Cameron were shocked to learn
this morning that Sidney S. Haigler
was killed last night by lightning.
Like most of the people of the town
he became alarmed at the contin-
uous flashing of the lightning and at
ABOUT 1:30 this morning was sitting
on the edge OF the bed. The dis
charge struck nothing outside Of the
house, but entered through the win
dow, breaking a pane and breaking
the corner bed post next to the win
dow. Another bed, on which Mr.
Haigler was sitting, only about two
feet from the one struck, was not
injured by the discharge. but the
electric shock was too severe for him
and he was dead in about 80 min
|utes. His mother, who was in his
room door, also received severe
shock, Mr. Haigler was unmarried.
43 years of age He was a farmer
of the substantial class and a man of
model department.

No Treating in Tacoma.

no saloonkeeper can allow man to

arrest. The law is aimed at the
practice of men spending their week

each other.
