Wild Buffalo
Safe in Canada

ottawa. Ont, Oct. 24--(By A. P.)-
Boundaries of a new wild game pre-
serve in northern Alberta dedica ted
In perpetuity as the wilderness home
of two herds Of 1900 wild wood buff
falo, have just been announced by
the Dominion government.
The entire habitat Of the two herds
has been enclosed in the sanctuary.
1t is heavily timbered and includes
several mountain ranges, lakes and
rivers. The area Of the new park is
10000 square miles. Throughout the
park cabins have been built for war
dens which will facilitate an efficient
patrol service the year round.
;. existence OF these wild herds in
the Great Slave Lake country has
been vaguely known for years, but
their numbers were never estimated
above $50 until a year ago when a
government survey party saw the
herds and by rough count figured the
total as 1900 animals. The only
other known herd of wild buffalo in
the world is in the remote Businesses
OF Yellowstone park and numbers not
more than 100 animals.
i. With the largest number Of wild
bunalo: Canada boasts also the larg-
est buffalo herd in the government
park at Wainwright, the largest
game preserve under fence in the
world. The Wainwright herd now
numbers more than 5000. Two
thousand bulls on the Wainwright
range will be slaughtered this fall
as of no value to herd propagation
and to conserve pasturage. Their
meat will be marketed in the United
states and Canada and a large part

ADVICE WORTH HAVING

One may hardly be Informed re-
specting needs and interested In sup
plying them without displaying
earnes,ness. This should not be re-
garded as evidence OF biased judS-
ment. In countries where the military
and naval professions, assume pre-
ponderance III national affairs, selfish
ends and intrigues become involved.
This condition does not exist to any
appreciable extent In the, govern
mental affairs of this country. Some
allowance may be made for profess
sionn pride In estimating the worth
of the advice given by our naval and
military dvisers but suraely there Is
but little need of this. Indeed. In
the suggestions made by General
Persh!ng, for instance, we find no
evidence of other than dispassionate
and we'll considered advice from one
whose experience and well establish
ed constructive ability none may sue
cessfully question.
Intelligent well-wishers of this
county regret that he has but a year
longer to serve. Though his sug-
gestions with respect to the national
guard and the training camps were
not needed as they should have been
the wisdom Of them has already been
demonstrated, likewise the desira-
blity Of improving on these. Those
who have been complacently wrap
ped up In the idea that II trouble
should come there would be the
soldiers trained for the world war
should be Jared awake by the fact
to which Pershing recently called at
tention, that by 1925 there would be
less than 100000 Of these Of draft age.
Anyway those men already have done
their part. They would doubtless re-
spond willingly for the most part but
dependence on them is neither good
sense nor fair treatment
And what Is true respecting such
advice about the army. is in the main
true respecting the ably considered
suggestions Of patriotic and exper-
fenced naval authorities.

CHARACTERISTIC OF COOLIDGE

A clergyman, having to address a
convention of young people. asked
President Coolidge: VIII II be all
right If tell them from you that a
Christian Is one who has In his heart
Christ's love toward his fellow mann"
1t is said the President smiled at the
speaker in a quizzical way. and said:
You tell them to work hard and be-
have themselves"
Evidently this impressed tho
clergyman for he tells the story as
a good one. We think 1t would i'm
press the young people much more
than the words suggested by the
clergyman. excellent though they are.
1t is good advice for all Of US. And
as for the President. why he simply
expressed himself. no. some other in
dividuality, and the expression, the
manner Of making 1t, and all, stand
to his credit and illustrate his COM
mon sense.

Editorial Comment
Fall Marauders
Lewiston Journal)


Just as if farmers did not have
troubles enough, the automobile has
brought them a new pest in the form
of fall marauders. Since the auto
mobile has become common this pet
ty crime has been increasing every
season. 1t has grown until the agri-
culturalist cannot trust a matured
crop in his fields, whether it be ap-
Piles, poultry. garden truck, or even
sheep and calves. They work at
night, for their deeds are evil"
and the prospect Of catching them is
small, since the" automobile gives
them opportunity to remove their
booty far from the scene Of their
depredations.
Perhaps the time will come when
every night motorist will be subject
to inspection or operate under a
special license. Then catching the
bootleggers and rum runners and
the farm thieves would be more like
ly. We would do it now If it didn't
cost a mint Of money!

1926 to Mark Year
British Labor in Power

Wallsend. Eng, Oct. s CA. p. by
MaiD-There will be a Labor gov
eminent in this country in 1926 and
Ramsey Macdonald will be prime
minister. said Patrick Hastings.
Kings counsel and Labor member of
Parliament, in the course of a speech
to his constituents here recently.
ne deduced this from the fact that
before 1910 Labor votes could be
counted by few thousands, but in
1918 the number was two and a
quarter millions, while last year 1t
was four and one-half millions. At
that rate of progress, he said, there
would be a Labor government in
power by 1926.

Some interesting relics have been
found in excavating for the new con-
crete bridge across Union river at
Main street, Ellsworth. Among the
most interesting, Is a four-ineh
shrapnel shell, nnexploded. It was
found fifteen feet beneath the sur
face of the road. How did it come
there, and how long had it been
there? Did it come through paths
OF peace. brought home by some
soldier OF the Civil war as a relic,
or was 1t fired for business pur-
poses during a little raid made by
the British upon Ellsworth in 1914?
There is opportunity for interesting
speculation here, at all events. The
question has been raised as to
whether shrapnel was used In 1914
but as shrapnel was invented by
and named for British general who
was born in 1861, 1t Is fair to as
sumo that it was used In the war of
1912.
