THE SNAKES VANISH.
ISoux CITY Journal.l


little observation leads one to the
conclusion that we shall soon be with
out snakes. The reptiles seem to endure
civilization in their midst very poorly
and will soon be almost a rarity. The
bullsnake. once SO common and often
of such great size, Is but seldom seen
in communities which have been occu-
pied by the whites for forty or more
years. Likewise the blue racer. that
SO much dreaded snake because Of GER
tain stories concerning its craftiness
and daring, is scarcely ever met any
more. The rattlesnake became quite
rare within hundred miles of Sioux
City twenty or more years ago. The
only remaining reptile at all common
today is the streaked snake. which
generally is referred TO as 'the little
streaked snake" as it does not attain
any considerable size. None of the
snakes mentioned are poisonous with
the exception of the rattlesnake, which.
according to some authorities. is the
most venomous reptile in existence
Happily, this species went first /, Is

in degree from war. And now that this
world has been narrowed and states
and cities crowded closer thru modern
methods OF transportation a great

Of the waste. And this waste the

The way TO discredit a bad law is
to enforce it
And the way to discredit good law
is to enforce it in an unreasonable
and oppressive way.
The railroads hate and wish to dis
credit any law which regulates them
They hate the Cummins amend
ment, under which they are making the

is admitted that the congress, in pass

have the railways made OF the law a
nuisance in order that regulation itself
may become offensive to the people
