 The territory has paid bounty on between four and five thousand eagles since the award was made. This has saved the life of thousands Of wild animals and game birds. Alaskans go at the matter without sentiment, believing the game is worth far more than the eagles.
 No sympathy should be wasted on the eagle. AS a symbol of the nation it is joke.

CANNOT UNDERSTAND ALASKANS

Eastern societies are much ag1tateu over exaggerated reports of killings of bald headed eagles by residents ol

 magazine twists the American lan- yuage in various shapes in an endeav- or to express it's indignation, staung inc eagle is a harmless bird, and that they should be saved to posterity for
 the sake of their patriotic significance.
 Apparently these Eastern critics
 have never seen an eagle; do not know what an eagle looks like, only from its appearance on United States money, and have no idea of how ex- pensive it is for the people of Ameri- ca to maintain these birds The eagle on American currency resembled al buzzard more than it does the bird of prey these alleged nature lovers pro- fess to admire, whereas the eagle in life is a noble looking bird, despite it's predatory habits and wasteful slaugh- ter of game It is hard to explain to Fasteners the amount of game killed annually by single pair of these birds and when they are multiplied by thousands the waste is frightful. Whole districts are laid waste in cer- tain sections of the Territory where eagles abound. Young lambs are kill ed | hundreds, deer and lawns kill . ed, p,4rmigan and grouse decimated, thousands of dollars worth of fur bearing animals and fish are killed, and wasted, and Alaskans realize that either the eagle or the game must go and self-preservation calls for the extinction of the eagle.

RELIEF FOR OPERATORS
Anchorage Times)

More good news for Anchorage and Seward comes in the San Francisco Associated Press dispatch advising that the Alaskan Siberian Navigation company has tentatively arranged plans to place three large freighters on the San Francisco to Seward run. The purpose is to haul Anchorage coal 10 Pacific coast ports and compete with the Australian and local coals. Plans have so far advanced that it is safe to say that the service is real ity and will be established this sum- mer. By this service Seward will de rive material benefits as shipping point; Anchorage operators will get a market for their coal and the Alaska railroad will receive compensation i11 1he way of freight money.

Assessor At Work

Frank Jenkin, is our local assessor,
and has been capvassing the town this
week. This year the assessment work
will include resurvey or recheck Of
all real property in order to make such
equitable adjustments in taxable values
as present conditions will warrant.
tbs generally realized that when
crops fail or production becomes uh-
profitable the tax burden becomes a
dreaded one to the property owners.
The assessor is often given all the
credit or otheswise for this burden.
While thoughtful persons sometime ac-
knowledge that the assessor has little
to do with the size of the tax burden
it's size really depends on the amount
of public expenditures-but has large
responsibility in the equitable distribu-
ton of tn /. burden, and this task is not
easy of accomplishment. However,
when mistakes occurr an opportunity
is given for their correction, by APP
spealing to the County Board of Equal
ization which meets the first Monday
in August.

State Road Auto Traffic
Shows Large Increase


Counts taken of motor vehicles pass
ing over Maryland roads during two
24-hour periods show an increase of 81
per cent. in traffic this year over a
similar period last year. Recent counts
totaled 1929 cars, compared with
133,987 in 1923.
This announcement was made by
John N. Mackall, chairman of the
State Roads Commission. The counts
also revealed that on many of the
heavy-traffic roads, including the, Bal
timore-Washington Boulevard, more
than half the traffic on Sundays is
made up of out-of State machines.
The counts were taken by inspectors
of the commission at 26 places on
roads in various sections of the State.
They were taken on Sunday and Tues
day. The results show that traffic on
every road in the State except the
Easton-Centreville road at Skipton was
heavier Sundays than Tuesdays.

Japanese Varnish
Tree Found Here

State Forestry officials, who found a
strange tree during Statewide forest
inspection made last week, announced
that the tree is Japanese varnish
tree, seldom found in the Eastern por-
ton of the United States.
The tree was discovered by State
Forester F. w. Besley and Assistant
State Forester B. F. Pfeifer in wood
land on the farm Of J. c. Craddock,
near Milestone Landing, st. Mary's
county. While the tree appropriated
the appearance of fig tree, it was
8 inches in diameter and 80 feet tall,
much larger than sizes attained by
the fig, Mr.. Besley said.
Investigation disclosed that the tree
was Japanese varnish tree, believed
to be the only one of the species in
this State.

LEON GAMBETTA AND
LEONE LEON

r EON GAMBETTA, Frances grea.
- statesman. fell in love at thirty
three with Leonie Leon. the daughter
of an officer. and, although they. never
married, Leonie was the inspiration Of
that part of his life over which she
ruled. For herself she asked nothing
more than his love. She refused to
marry him for fear lest this marriage
compromise his career, and was re-
luctant to even bask in the glory re-
Elected from her lover, remaining con-
stantly in seclusion. After a long
time Gambetta persuaded her to take
his name legally, but just as the we'd
ding date was set death stepped in and
prevented this formal contamination
of a happy union. Gambetta died at
the age of forty-four from stomach
trouble.
The following excerpts are from the
voluminous correspondence that
passed between Gambetta and Leonie
and tell the story Of their love better
than any biographer could:
"Our souls were never In more COM
plete harmony and drink deep
draughts of love such as the most
exalted lights of the human race have
dreamed of. You alone among women
have succeeded in lifting me to those
dazzling heights of passion and SOUL
communion.
"You are my mortal and intellectual
home. / have got so much into the
habit of consulting my oracle that I
must have it close at hand. There Is
In my love strong element of fetish
worship which must put up with as
best ] can. 49,.
II know not how to thank you for
all the dignity and beauty that you
confer every day upon our mating. II
Is in this way that have always pas
sionately longed to love and be loved.
To meet such woman. to devote my
life to her, to unlock for her the most
hidden recesses Of my soul, to be adj
mitted in my turn into the innermost
shrine Of her heart and fill every cor
ner Of that heart as a lord always
ready to obey; my dream has, come
true, and she whom I have won has
become the lodestone of my life. the
scret arbiter of my fortunes"

War Memorial Com
plete By January /

The War Memorial Building will be
ready for occupancy January l, 1t was
announced by Harry c. Jones, chair
man of the War Memorial Commits
sion.
With work on the building nearing
completion, Mr.. Jones said he expected
to call meeting of the city committee
within the next two weeks to consider
preliminary arrangements for the dedi-
cation ceremonies. At present, he said,
there is no disposition to depart from
the original plan Of dedicating the
structure Armistice Day.
Consideration will be given, how
ever, to a request of the American
Legion. Department of Maryland, that
the exercises be, postponed to later
date, SO that there will be no con-
flict with individual demonstrations
planned by posts throughout the State
that day.
At the same time the committee will
be asked to consider suggestion that
the city give an organ for the building.
Every county is to make some sort of
gift Baltimore has not chosen its
Offering and the fact that provision
has not been made for an organ, al
though place for one has been re-
served, gives rise to the proposal that
the city's gift take this form. The
organ would be purchased by popular
subscription. no Is
Mr.. Jones said the contractors have
advised him the building will be ready
for dedication Armistice Day and win
be ready for complete operation by the
first of the year. Patriotic societies
and ex-soldier organizations that are

Final contracts for equipment of the
building are to be let within the next
few days. These include contracts for
furniture and smaller items.

State Briefs
Tree Shipments Open
For Reforestation

Annapolis
Shipment of trees purchased from
the State Forestry Department for
reforestation and roadside planting in
Maryland was begun from the College
Park nurseries, according to State
Forester F. w. Besley.
Increased interest in reforestation,
shown by the fact that greater num-
Der of orders were received this year
than ever before, encourages belief
that all waste land in the State will
eventually be used to grow timber,
Mr.. Besley said. All land unsuited for
other uses should be planted with
young trees, to provide timber for use
by future generations, he said.
One order this year called for $4,000
young. trees for reforestation, Mr..
Besley announced. In all, approx
mately so orders were received.
The State nursery at College Park
was started in 1914. AS many as 5000
Seeding trees are grown there in a
space by IL feet, Mr.. Besley said.
Preparations are being made by the
Forestry Department for gathering of
100 bushels of loblolly pine seed next
month. Fifty bushels of the seed will
be kept for use in Maryland, while %
bushels each will be sent to forestry
departments of Virginia and New
Jersey, Mr.. Besley said.
Pine cones, from which the seed is
obtained, will be gathered from timber
recently cut, to prevent the necessity
for climbing trees. The cones will be
opened by heat, and the seed planted
at the State nurseries. Two years are
required for the seedlings to develop
sufficiently for transplanting, Mr..
Besley said. &

HOW GREAT MEN +.
MAKE LOVE
AS REVEALED BY THEIR
LOVE LETTERS
LINCOLN AND MARY
OWENS
By JOSEPH KAYE
" wheeler syndicate. Incl

THE greatness of the leader has
N put into the shadow the intimate
personal activities of the man, and
1t is not generally known that Abraham
Lincoln passed through the ordeal of
two loves before he married Mary
Todd. He fell In love in his early
twenties with Anne Ruthledge, of New
Salem, very charming girl. But Anne
had formerly loved another and Lin
coins love could not heal her heart
and she died after becoming engaged
to the future President.
Lincoln's second love was Mary
Owens whom he first met during his
courtship Of Anne. After Anne's death
he became interested in Mary. Mary
Owens was wealthy and educated
girl; pretty but inclined to a fullness
Of figure. When Lincoln offered him
self to her she recognized in this UNI
calmly young man deficiency In the
little links which make up the chain Of
woman's happiness" as she keenly
expressed II, and refused him.
The following letter is one Of the
few that are in existence addressed to
the ladies Of Lincoln's heart:
"Friend Mary-I have commenced
two letters to send to you before this,
both Of which displeased me before
got half done and so tore them up.
The first thought wasn't serious
enough and the second was on the
other extreme. I shall send this, turn
out as 1t may.
II am often thinking Of what we
said about your coming to live In
Springfield. ! am afraid you would
not be satisfied. There is a great
deal Of flourishing about in carriages
here, which 1t would be your doom to
see without sharing in 1t. You would
have to be poor without the means Of,
hiding your poverty. Do you believe
you could bear that patiently? What
ever woman may cast her lot with me,
should anyone ever do so, 1t is my In
tention to do all in my power to make
her happy and contented and there Is
nothing can imagine that would make
me more unhappy than to fail in the
effort. I know / should be much hap
pier with you than the way / am, pro-
vided saw no signs Of discomfort In
you.
"Yours, ETC..
Lincoln"
Lincoln's romance with Mary Todd
was stormy one. The young lady
was belle in society and her friend
ship with other young men caused
Lincoln, who was engaged to her, such
agony Of mind that he failed to appear
at their wedding and was later found
wandering about in distraction.
The couple were later reunited by.
mutual friend and eventually mar
ried, though their life was never q
happy one.
