WILD DOGS CAUSE PROBLEM
dustry In Some Breeding Districts
In Australia.

Wild dogs are presenting a serious
problem in Australia, according to
Central News dispatch in the London
Westminster Gazette. The correspond
ent at Broken Hill. New South Wales,
says that unless immediate measures
to protect the flOcks of sheep are
taken, they will have to be replaced
by cattle in the districts north Of
Broken Hill.
The seriousness Of the situation is
described by John Dunno, president Of
the West Darling Pastoralists' associa-
ton, who states that, although there
has been q good season, pastoralists In
the Darling River district and north as
far as the Queensland border are faced
with one Of the greatest problems
within the memory Of settlers in that
part of the country.
Reports are coming to hand from
all parts of the district" he added, "Of
the enormous losses incurred owing to
the prevalence of wild dogs Already
country which before the drought was
admirable sheep country, is now
stocked with cattle, and likely to con-
tinue to be stocked unless the dog
nuisance Is successfully dealt with"
Last year the western vermin board
was formed at Wilcania and the gov
eminent then In power granted $780,
900 for fencing in the western division
against wild dogs, but owing to a
change of government since that time
none Of the money has been forthcom-
ing and the wild dogs have now come
right into the western division and are
creating havoc among the flocks.

CITY WAITS TO Be CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Being Restored
to the Glory That Has Been
Promised Her.

The view Of Jerusalem as one leaves
the Garden of Gethsemane draws the
heart with sympathy. The walls rise
severely above bare slopes where
nothing grows, for it is outside Of the
city proper that Biblical prophecies Of
the desolation Of Jerusalem seem to
be fulfilled.
Today the city stands midway be-
tween the horrors Of the Turkish
regime and the promised good Of the
British mandatory rule. Nothing has
been done as yet in a public way to
beautify the city. North and west the
houses straggle outside the walls; on
the south forbidding slopes border the
road to Bethlehem, and on the east
lies the terrible Valley of Jehosha-
plata valley Of dry bones, William
d. McCracken writes in Asia Maya
zine.
Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly
hated, anxiously sought-how desper-
ate a history since Nebuchadnezzar
captured it more than Is centuries
agol
Redeemed today, but in her naked
ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace; no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will glisten with the brightness
Of heavenly radiance; she will be
washed and anointed like a bride
waiting for the bridegroom.

Beaver Colony for Profit.

Probably the largest fur farm in
the West Is a beaver ranch at Edger-
ton, Canada, where more than 100
beavers are being raised with the ex-
pectation Of providing yearly reve-
nue. as soon as it is believed they have
multiplied sufficiently to justify some
trapping. The ranch is located on
the banks Of small creek which has
been the home of colony Of beavers
for years, and on account Of the rapid
multiplication the owner Of the land
secured privileges Of breeding them
and selling the increase.

In Memory of James H. Scott.


1t seems fitting that few words
be written in regard to James H.
Scott, who died recently at his home
in Southwest HarbOr.
He was born in Ellsworth, on the
Old Bangor road, in 1872, son of
John ]. and Ellen F. Scott. He was
Ellsworth. At the age of fifteen,
he entered the employ of Owen
Moran to learn the tailoring trade,
remaining there until Mr.. Moran
went to Bar Harbor. He finished
his apprenticeship with the late P.
H. Shea, and then entered the en-
ploy of Lewis Friend & Co., remain
ing with them nine years, until the
firm was dissolved.
Mr.. Scott then went to Southwest
Harbor and engaged in business, con-
Quoting a tailoring establishment.
He was also proprietor of 1.-The &C.
dars" until failing health obliged
him to give up active business.
He was a man of the highest prin-
ciples, and had the confidence Of all
who associated with him, always
having a cheerful disposition and a
kindly word for all.
He leaves wife, Elizabeth Lord,
and four sisters-Annie E. Maddox
and Margaret B. Kief of Ellsworth.
Nellie F.. Royal of Bar Harbor and
Minnie A. Stevens of Augusta.
The funeral was held at the home
of his sister, Mrs. Kief, the services
being conducted by Rev. ]. A. Weed,
of the Methodist church. Interment
was in the family lot at Woodbine
cemetery.

This is percentage of illiteracy for
the whole State of 3.3. The per-

ACCIDENTS
BY GETTING POSTED
ON TRAFFIC RULES

Serious automobile accidents have re-
suited recently thru ignorance of driv-
ers of traffic rules in this city. Ac-
cording to traffic policemen automobile
drivers are surprisingly ignorant Of
traffic regulations. Many take the
reSulations of their own, or try to
beat the other fellow to it," The lat
ter practice is familiar to not few
railroad locomotive engineers who have
had the misfortune to be unable to
stop their heavy engines when a fool
ish motorist, tried to beat the train
to the crossing"
Only few days ago the case of a
prominent business man who has
driven an automobile for a number of
years, long enough in fact to have had
two stolen from him. found an in
bad tag on his automobile that he had
left parked in front of a Fourth street
business house. The machine was
parked over the required 10 inches
from the curbing, in such manner
that the rear of the business mans
car was blocking traffic.
When a police officer found who the
business man was, he simply recited
tho parking ordinance. and asked tnat
more care he taken in the future, this
being Mr.. BUSINESS Mans hrst Of
however, it was found that Mr.. Busi-
ness Mans sons had been driving the
car the day before, and, not being IA
matliar with the mechanism of the
machine had been unable to stop when
a stop signal was displayed by the
traffic officer at Fourth and Main
streets. 1t was also mentioned by tho
police officer that the boys were ex-
ceeding the required speed limit in
passing safety zones.
Mr.. Business Man was quite sur
prised that there were so many traffic
" aCE h~ lob
have a copy of the rules. This request
was granted and the Pueblo business
man drove away marveling at tho
steps city officials had taken to safe
guard the lives of motorists and pc
destrians.
A mistake that causes the greater
numbers of accidents is the question of
who has the right of way" It was
formerly the rule that direction figured
in this question. Since the adoption of
uniform traffic regulations in all states
the plan of permitting the man on
ones right to have the right OF way,
has been adopted.
Parking presents another question
for the motorist and traffic law en-
forcers. Following is a list of parking
laws as printed in the Pueblo Chief
tain last Sunday.
In safety zone districts. park paral-
lei to the curb. 10 inches therefrom and
not less than nor more than feet
behind preceding car.
DO not park within so feet of any
thester entrance.
DO not leave car parked on Main
street between First and sixth. or on
Union avenue between the Santa Fe
tracks and Main street. for moro than
one hour at any time. Do not park
within ten feet of any street or alley
intersection or fire plug
Copies of traffic rules may be pro-
cured from the ofYice OF Chief OF Police
DAILY, at the Pueblo city hall.
