Ten dollars win be paid by the Terri tory for every wolf skin brought to the Territorial Treasurer each skin Go have left forearm and head and tail intact. and each pelt to be thorough ly dried: the Treasurer shall punch the ear of the wolf end sever tho forearm; affidavit must be made by the hunter that the wolf was killed in Alaska after the passage of the act. and perjury ln this respect shall be punished by heavy lne or imprison- ment, or both
 Senator Suizer cited the reports of Territorial and Federal officials as to Che depletionu Of the deer iu south eastern Alaska. by wolves. and was equipped with data on the subject. He said:
 Greatest Big Saving.
 We know that the wolves live on the deer. and have talked the mat ter over very thoroughly with many prospectors. miners. fishermen and woodsmen. and they alT agree that @ wolf will destroy at least one deer @ week. If we place the average deer at fifty pounds and value the meat at 70 cents per pound we have a value oi S5 for each deer For the year. granting Q wolf would kin ffty-two deer it would be total value of S26o worth of meat that every wolf would destroy every year Surely it is worth Sl0 of the Territorial money 10 save
 per anuuln. I the wolf is kined, he is removed for nu lime, and ii'is- S26o would be saved for the Territory every year or course. I do not know how many wolves there are in Alas ka. know that on Prince Of Wales island alone the most conservative estimate would place at least one thousand wolves on the island. and, therefore. with one thousand wolves destroying at least S260 wOrth os ven. ison annually there would be a loss to the territory Of S26O.0oo per annum on one island"
 Aiaaka to Sell Furs.
 The Territory will sell the belts for which 1t pays bounty It is estimated that good wolf pelt is valued at from four to ten dollars.
 Amendments to the measure to guard against the fraudulent shipping in Of pelts to secure bounty. were pre- sented by Senator AIdrich. after dis cussion as to the tails. forearms, and the punched ears of the aniamls. in which Senator Tanner objected to the Latin word for forearm on the ground that Indians who went hunting wolves wouldn't know the regulations.
 Ketehikan Wants Road.

TERRAPIN COMES
BACK AFTER 20 YEARS
Georgia Farmer Carved His Name
On CrawIer's Lid, and Knows
1t Is the Same One.

1t Is the Same One.
This is the story of how a Georgia
terrapin came back after twenty-five
years. One day in the good year
1890 Harry Lee Jarvis was strolling
over his plantation near Varnell Sta
ton, above Atlanta, and encountered
a highland tortoise, or what is COM
monty known as terrapin and pro
nounced ''tarrypin' by the portions
of the population who know and love
him best.
Mr.. Jarvis was accompanied by
Mr.. w. H. Prater, prominent plant
er of that section. Mr.. Prater did
what quite a number of now cele-
brated men have done-he carved ms
initials and the year On the unresist-
ing terrapin's lid and let him go.
And the terrapin did last week what
quite a number of now celebrated
tortoises have done-he came back.
Yesterday Mr.. Prater was direct
ing tn eclearing of a ditch on his
own farm and one of the wOrkmen
picked up a terrapin with the initials
W. H. P. and the year 1890 carved on
it's shell. Mr.. Prater says the terra
pin did not seem to have grown
much, but looked hale and hearty as
when they had first met. He denies,
however, that the terrapin recognlz-
ed him.

Reading in the Telegraph of the
unusual exploits of Second street
hen in the way of laying eggs lady
of Dawson wrote to Mayor Smith,
who owns the hen, if the Telegraph's
statement was true. Here is the
Macon mayors reply:
Replying to your letter of the
18th asking if it be true that my hen
Macduff actually laid Sc eggs in Sc
days:
Yes, ma am; and not only that,
but she continued to make daily de-
posts until the number reached r..
1T was on April 18th that she had
laid sc eggs hand-running, without
stop to crank up or repair a busted
tire. This being a remarkable feat
for an ordinary hen the record was
kept straight On April 9th she
had n eggs to her credit, and then
she took a day off, but began laying
the next day. l couldn't swear that
she skipped that day, because the lost
egg might have been stolen.
"She continued to lay as usual,
but having skipped once we kept no
further count. She is laying now,
but there are breaks, and the record
must remain-77 eggs in II days.
Our cook says she should have
been named Miss Gratitude instead
of Macduff. You see, she was pur-
chased with other chicken as broil-
err. Found to be puny and not liable
to comply with the pure food law,
she was turned loose in the yard, and
her neck was thereby saved. Accord
ing to Maria, she felt so grateful at
not having her neck wrung that as
soon as she was able she began to
express her gratitude by laying the
unusual number of eggs
