That Three Mile Limit.

The origin of the three mile limit
the imaginary line three miles from the
shore, which fixes the territorial wa
ters of a sovereign state, is somewhat
of mystery. One explanation and the
one usually accepted is that when it
was agreed on by the nations three
miles was the limit of range of the big
guns Of that time. If that were so and
proposal was put forward to revise
the territorial limits in agreement with
the effective range Of modern artillery
there would be big shrinkage of the
"high seas" France could claim juris
diction from Calais to Dover and Eng
land from Dover to Calais, which
would be awkward, while little of the
Mediterranean would remain interna

Every Comfort Every Luxury En-
Route to California.

When you travel to California this
year, your comfort, convenience and
enjoyment will be the most important
things to consider-therefore you will
want to choose the train that provides
the utmost in service.
The height of travel comfort is af-
forded by 1.-THE Pacific Limited, the
premier no-extra-fare train of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway to
California. This train is steel equipped,
luxuriously appointed, and provides
through service direct to both Los An
geles and San Francisco.
Also there is the convenience of ar
irving at either terminal in daylight
a feature greatly appreciated by women
travelling alone or with children.
In the spring, return via the Pacific
North Coast, and through the great
scenic Northwest over the ''Milwau-
KEGS electrified mountain route"
For California literature, time of
trains and connections, and all particu-
lars desired, apply to local agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way or write to GEO. B. HAYNES, Gen

out last Friday to hunt rabbits. They

Whitewater and as they were having
good luck and bagging quite bit of
game they remained in the locality,

all, FASTENED to inform Warden Elliott

hunters in his woods using a ferret.
Mr. Elliott inn adiatalv went tO the
