facts. in that Commissioning kositzky did
not Introduce a resolution requesting
this Board to raise the assessment of the
Hughes Electric Light plant as stated in
S"'" EDITORIAL: but on the contrary the
resolution was one stating thai this
any action whatever with reference to
the assessment of the Hughes Electric
light Company on the grounds that the
State Tax commission Ci WFlfn Com

exclusive jurisdiction. Mr.. kositzkv ar

that it he'd no more right TO take n

In his argument Mr.. koSifzky advanced
the idea that We were not above the
law, and that if this Board attempted TO
take any action relieve ~ the assess

URGE CONSERVATION OF GAME
Wild Life Of Country Declared to Sc
Disappearing Before 100000
Hunters

Artificial propagation as a lean of
guarding against the extinction Of
American game and the need of fur.
ther protective legislation were dis
cussed at the first national conference
on American game breeding and pre-
serving at The Waldorf-Astoria, the
New York Times states. Many i'm.
portant facts and statistics were pro-
duced to show the importance of re.
newing the supply of birds and other
forms of wild life that fall prey to
5000, GOO. game hunters in this coun-
try.
In the last five years, 1t was stated,
the conservation commissioners Of
New York distributed $1,000 eggs and
10000 pheasants to raisers of game,
These were given free from the state
farm at Shelourne, south OF Utica
More than $4,000 hunting licenses
were issued in the state, netting an
income of $3.50, 900. These hunters
killed about 1900 deer, but accord,
ing to H. T. Rogers, superintendent Of
the state farm. there 7 At present
more than 5000 deer in the state, the
largest number on record.
It was also shown that soc, 600 snot.
guns and rifles were sold and 1,aao..
100000 cartridges used in the ccun-
try. This number is exclusive Of the
muIzle-loading guns, which, it is es-
timated, would add 5 100000
charges. Throughout the United
States 1,5oo,e0o hunters licenses were
issued last year, while the department
OF agriculture estimates that 5000, 900
men shoot game. To accommodate
this immense army of hunters farms
are being established to replsnish the
stock Of peasants, partridges, ducks
der and other native game.

how" it is a very simple matter to
sharpen a knife by grinding. 1t all
rests in the manner of holding the edge
Of the knife on the surface Of the
sharpener. But now we are aided by
a new device which has been recently
patented, consisting of Il wheel of
abrasive material and a guide mount
ed on Il metal carrier. by means of
which the device may be secured to a
table or other convenient place for use.
When the carycr is placed in the
space between the wheel and guide the
knife is held just at the right angle
with respect to the wheel. so the most
effective edge is put on it, and the
knife is then reversed and the other
side treated in Il similar manner y

knife put it in good condition. 1t is

of putting an edge on Il knife with the

of the bride, pre- ided at the piano.
The bridal party descended the stairs
to the sweet strains OF L~ohengrin's

bride was gowned in silk crepe du
chene, over lace and rose buds, and a
bouquet Of white roses; while the
matron of honor wore a dress of white
silk tatfeta and also carried white
roses. The color motive throughout
was orange and white. The ceremony
being over, the company sat down to
a sumptuous repast provided by the
brides mother, the witnesses being
the three sisters Of the groom, Misses
Nettie, Lily and Mae McFarlane and
Miss Helen Benson. The bride is a
young lady of sterling character, kind
disposition and genial manners, whose
home training has admirably fitted
her to be a good keeper at home, -
and real helpmate to her husband. AS
an expression of the high esteem in
which she is held by her friends, she
received many valuable and useful
presents, among which was a piano
from her parents, and a cabinet sew
ing machine from the groom's par
ents. The groom is a prosperous
young farmer of central Montana,

Travis Is an Exception.
Travis was thirty-eight when he first
won the American title. and Hilton,
the only foreigner who ever captured
it, was forty-two. With the exception
of these two men none of those who
have won the amateur championships
Of this country was past the thirty
year mark. The general public likes to
refer to golf as an old mans game,
and one of the favorite jokes of the
nongolfers is when they are asked why
they do not take up the game to reply
that they will when they have reached
old age.
But while golf can be played by old
err men it is the youngsters who carry
away the honors, just as they do i'll

you can't play baseball or u Il 100

the better game. Travis recently gave
a wonderful exhibition of his ability
when he won the metropolitan cham
pionship from 4 field of some of the
best younger players i'll the country,
but there never was any II just like
him and perhaps never will be again.
Ten years ago it was next to impos-
sible to get the boys and the younger
men interested in golf. With the cap
turing of the national championship by
Jerome Travers in 1907 the younger
men gradually came to take an interest
in the game, so youthful golfers in our
numerous country clubs began to fig,

Walter J. Travis has decided not
to enter another amateur cham

he does not intend to compete
at Detroit this year, and if he
feels that the grind of a week,
with thirty-six holes a day, is
too much for him now it is Il
sure thing that another year will
not give him any more strength.
Travis felt after his victory ut
Apawamis that he had won his
last important championship on
the links.
