WILD BEASTS COURTEOUS.

Just as one dog will respect an other dogs bone, so even the fiercest wild animals have their unwritten laws and their little conventions.
 One common idea which has found its way into scores of books of adven- ture Is that the lion and tiger and other carnivori take advantage of the insistent call of thirst to get SUD- per. That is to say, they go down to a water hole, the only one for miles around. take good drink themselves, and then lie in wait for the weaker animals coming there for a like purpose. in order to spring upon its prey whilst in the act of drinking and make a meal of it.
 Yet, according to all hunters of big game, this is nbelous estimate of wild beast character. There is 2

WE BELIEVE if you will compare our election returns with those from other papers in the Territory, you will find that the Prospector has kept in the van of all other papers, both in quantity and accuracy of news published. We have maintained a large corps of correspondents, keep ing in touch with all of the principal towns and camps in the Territory. If our news has appeared biased to many of our readers we beg to re- mind them of the fact that it is im- possible to secure a correspondent in any locality who is absolutely unbias- ed from every standpoint, and we have published our dispatches exact ly as received, with no attempt to give either candidate results which were inaccurate. If our readers will realize that we are doing our hest to keep them in touch with outside conditions as newspaper and not as a partisan paper, we believe our efforts will be more appreciated aloHs those lines.

the coveted Delegateship. There are yet enough votes out, if secured by either candidate, to elect one or the other by a small plurality, but the result will be very close, and probably will not be known until a recount is made. rs-l
 The delay has been very trying to both the Prospector and our readers, tut the paper has printed the returns as fast as they possibly could be se- cured and at a great expense for tel egraph tolls.

THE SPORT OF KILLING.

At a certain time in the year a strange impulse takes possession of some people. It is shown in desire to shed blood; to slay the helpless; to scatter fear, pain and death where once was life, peace, and happiness. 1t then becomes the proper thing to leave one's home, invade the homes of the denizens of the fores. and kill them for what we are pleased to term sport. It is then that the beautiful wilds which speak of mystery and poetry and God. are. turned into a shambles by those who claim to be made in the image of God": when the graceful and timid deer. whose very innocence should shield it from harm, chased and ambushe6 by hu- man beings, rushes wildly through the woods, trailing its blood behind 1t on the foliage of its forest home.
 Why is it that so-called civilized men and women enter upon this blood carnival with such enthusiasm? Is it on account of the freedom and outdoor life it offers? But that can be gained in a hundred ways without the shedding of innocent blood. The camera, notwithstanding, and the joys of harmless camp life should be sufficient for human beings with a spark of compassion in their natures, without the need of wounding and staying harmless creatures living ip the woods, enjoying their own lives in their own homes. Why should VIC continue to hug to our bosoms the old, barbarous associations of the out door life Oegacies from our savage ancentry), when we can enjoy its pleasures without them?
 If man needed the flesh of these animals to sustain life and health as in the days of the chase, it would be vastly different; but he does not A man can buy more domestic meat for one dollar than ten dollars will purchase in the chase, and the sight of game animals living around your abode in peace and security, will
 more than compensate you for the small amount of pleasure experienc. ed in shedding their blood.

 "The shortage of food and other products from the states, such as gasoline, will retard the development of the country one year. Prospect ing and mining will be crippled. Prospectors and miners will have to leave the outer districts and flock into Bethel and other centers.

The surrounding country. with an additional population of 400 natives. depends on the. Moravian missions store. Tea. sugar.. pilot bread, game and fish form the stand ard diet of the natives. This winter they have to get along without tea, sugar and pilot bread.

sort of truce between all animals of jungle or forest at the public drink ing places. As far as killing is con- cerned the drinking place is out of bounds. There is an unwritten law along it's banks which says, Live and Let, Live" and this law is inn plicitly obeyed.
 Paul Rainey, the greatest living authority upon the habits of wild bests, says that there is always an order of precedence. The rhinoceros gets first drink. He is the king of all beasts of the forest or jungle. When he has lowered the tide mark and made the water the color of cof- fee then comes the elephant. He gatiates his thirst and after squirting a reservoir of water over his dusty hide retires to make room for the big pussy-cats-the lions, the leop- ards. the jaguars and pumas.
 Meanwhile the shy animals, the gi- Iaffes, deer, springboks, and even the buffaloes, although they are a. mstch for any lion, stand in the background and wait till the carnivori have done, But the latter never prevent their ap proach to, the water or waylay them cn their retirement. And that is bet ter manners-aye, and better morals than many men show.
 Paul Rainey's pictures show lions, rhinoceri,, elephants, giraIes, sprins' boks, gazslles and hundreds of others animals standing side by side around a desert water hole in Africa. each awaiting his turn at the hfe-sayine fluid. No animal ever kills except to satiate its hunger, with the excep. ton of man and the mink and weasel All others respect the unwritten law of the wild which spares what it doe: not actually need to sustain life.

ELECTION RETURNS SLOW.

Election returns are coming in very slowly, blth in the National and Territorial contests. Up to the date of going to press, while President wilson's reelection Is conceded by our correspondent, we have been un- able to receive the barest details in regard to the states carried, or the plurality of the electoral vote. It is believed that Wilson has 268 electo- ral votes, two more than necessary to a choice.
 In the Territorial contest for Dele gate later returns have shown that Delegate Wlckersham has rapidly overcome Sulzer's lead, and at the present time, according to figures re- ceived by the Prospeetor, Sulzer has a slight lead of but 92. In the Second division Marshall, Dime Creek and Kiana were yet to be heard from with a total of about 150 votes yet unrecorded. Wickersham now leads in the Second division by about two hundred and fifty plurality. In the Fourth division Forty Mile, Innoka, Koyokuk and Kuskokwim are yet to be heard from. The total vote of these places are unknown. but it is stated in Fairbanks that Sulzer will undoubtedly get a plurality of the votes in these camps as he has been carrying most of the mining camps along the Yukon.
 In the First division Yakutat and Rake are yet to be heard from, with a total of about thirty votes for both pla. .,es. Wickersham will un1oubted- ly carry Rake, according to the Elm pire, but it is believed Sulzer VII ,arry Yakutat.
 In the Third Division Kenai, Su- sitna, Dillingham; and the Bristol Bay vote are yet to come in; but by those experienced in previous cleo tions it is stated that the Bristol Bay vote will hardly arrive in time to be counted. There is no chance of the vote being received unless mail from the isolated Bristol Bay section is brought out by some musher, which is hardly likely. The vote of that section Is so small as to be neglible, and will hardly figure in the plurality of either. candidate, unless the con- test should become so close that one or the other of the candidates should pay a man to go after, the returns.
 The race is very close one and there is yet a chance for Delegate Wickersham to win out, although the lead of 92 by MT. Sulzer gives him the long end of the betting. Look ing at the matter impartially it is hard now to predict who will win

SHORTAGE OF FOOD

SEAT1LE.-Wh there is no danger of starvation, the whole Kus- kokwim river district is entering the iong northern winter with serious shortages in food, especially in flour. sugar, butter, canned cream and oth- CT staples, and this in conjunction with a shortage in coal oil, gasoline. clothing and the like will set the great valley back an entire year in it's development. according to Capt.

.lIHIO' SUIT TO
BREAK TRUST OF
QUEEN IS Valid
CONTINUED from page one)

the opinion of the court, the queen, be-
ing in every respect capable of max
ing the trust deed could, upon her
own motion, revoke it at any time,
regardless of the provisions as to the
trustees joining in the revocation.
AS regards the absolute right of
the queen to appear in court and de-
mand a restoration of her property"
the decision continues, and that this
trust be annuled, although she was
fully capable of making the trust, but
does not desire it to continue any
longer, there may be ground for dis
pute AS for myself, / believe she
has that right.
But such is not this case. The
present action presents one of fraud,
mistake and over-reaching upon the
part of others who sought to obtain
her property through this deed, and of
mistake on her part and of inCapaci-
ty on her part to take care of her in
terests Under such facts as are here
presented, do not know Of any case
that holds that the deed cannot be set
aside.
Says Prince Has Right.
q think, therefore, that the prince
has the right to protect his contin-
gent interest in the estate of the
queen from all friends and over-reach-
ing that may have been practised. If
size (the queenl is disabled from max
ing contracts he has the right to
strike down such contracts now while
she is living as it might be impos-
sible to do so after her death
Again, say that because he may
be able to strike down this deed of
trust, it does not follow that he will
ever obtain the property or any part
of it. Both demurrers are overruled.
Judge Stuart states that he consid-
ers that the affidavit of the queen
an objection to the princes continuing
to act as her next friend. If the allega-
tons of the complaint are true, he
adds, the queen cannot get dismissal
of complaint because she is ineompe-
tent to employ an attorney to ask for
