AFRICA LOSES
WILD BEASTS,
SAYS HUNTER
Animals Becoming Extinct
Due TO Slaughter, EX-
pIorer States,

Bu Ma Eertice
NEW YORK, April 5.-Africa,
paradise Of the naturalist and big
game hunter alike since the begin
ming Of history. is rapidly losing
its Wild life. and the African lion,
rhinoceros and other beasts are go
ing the way Of the American but
falo.
This statement comes from Mrs.
Carl Akeley, widow Of the late Carl
Akeley, famous African explorer and
naturalist. and herself an authority
on African wild life.
Before the Faculty Club Of Co
lumbia university. Mrs. Akeley
made some striking disclosures
about the decline Of animal life on
the dark continent.
Old Africa Dead
Today the wild animals Of Africa
ere making a losing fight she said
Their backs are against the wall.
The great problem Of the student
today is not to defend himself
against wild animals, but actually
to see them. not to make peace with
primitive tribes but 10 find them
living according to their ancient
customs.
Economic interests have ad-
vanced so swiftly upon his last
stronghold of big manuals and saw
age peoples that the old Africa has
for the most part passed into his
tory.
The modern high power rifle, the
widespread and keen interest of
both men and women to go to
Africa to hunt big game, the fact
that both white settler and native
kill for meat-all these spell the
rapid determination of the wild life
of Africa"
Few Animals Left
AS an example Of present-day
conditions in Africa, she quoted the
following from a letter her husband
wrote on this final expedition:
There is only a pitiful remnant
of the great buffalo herds of the
past, and of the other game almost
nothing. This is a condition we
have found everywhere we have been
in Kenya colony . Tho old cOndi-
tons, the story of which we want to
tell. are now gone, and in another
decade the men who know it will all
be gone"
According to Mrs. Akeley, the
rapid disappearance of game is due
III 70 small measure to ruthless
Slaughter by visiting "sportsmen."
Deplores Slaughter
Sometimes" she said, men and
women who at home display no
sanguinary impulses commit atroci-
ties in the African game fields that
are incredible to one who has not
witnessed them.
we met in Nairobi one sports
man who on good authority had
killed twenty-eight lions and wound
ed tw%enty-nine more which, without
even attempting to finish them off,
he had allowed to go off in the
dongas. there to suffer the torments
of slow death

out. The court recently sustained
objections to 81 of the 30 points in
the petition.

WISCONSIN GETS FUNNY

Wisconsin evidently does not like chain stores. The legisla- ture of that state is devising a scheme whereby it can curtail operations of such systems. The plan being a graduated tax small for single stores and the tax rate increasing until the tax would amount to 5000 for each store over 20 in a chain.
 The bill is up for third read ing in the Assembly having passed the senate. Attorney General Reynolds of that state holds the measure unconstitu- tional. It seems certain that the bill will go to the governor for his signature and then to the courts for final test on the con- stitutional test.

It Must Be Rotten

When liquor is so bad that the Canadian dealers refuses to handle it for their customers when it becomes so bad that the refuse to send across the line into Washington and Ket- chikan-it must be rotten.
 But such was the case recent ly when a certain brand of li- quor-250O cases of it-may have to be dumped into the sewers.
 Under the excise law only li- quor store commissioners may buy the liquor. They refuse to do so. With the liquor on it's hands, the customs department must offer it for sale. If the i- quor boards refuse to buy-the imported stuff-into the sewers it will go.

Mexican immigration officers posted at the international gate at Calexica ,Calif.,, were in 2t~ucted to begin enforcing the Mexican federal government or Ger that all citizens of the Unit ed States working in Mexico must live in that country.
 Mexico in spite of revolutions, counter revolutions, Amercan .;ngoism and oily plutocracy, realize that they cannot build ID a permanent citizenry by having workers in Mexican in dustry living any place but in Mexico.

Governor ]. F. A. Strong
 Dies In Seattle, Death Sudden

J. F. A. Strong, governor ot 7ka from 1913 to 1918, died in Seattle recently from heart at tack. He was 69 years old.
 Former Governor Strong was 2 very intimate friend of the late Secretary Of Interior Frank in X. Lane. While serving as governor of Alaska he endeared hir2celf to Alaskans, probably more than any governor, aside from John G. Brady.
 Governor Strong was interest cd in newspapers. Started the Juneau Empire and later on a deal, which was virtually a gift to John w. Troy, sold the Elm pire to his political associate and friend.
 Came the political deal when the Territorial Election Board was to decide as to whether Hon. James Wickersham or George Grigsby was delegate. Sulzer had died, defeated by vote in the election by Wickersham. A special election wes ordered by the federal political high binders and their henchmen It was this election in which J. A. F. Strong refused to sell his soul to Troy and Troy's crooked satellites that Troy's real char acter was brought Troy wrote a story attacking his sponsor and friend Not only did he at tack Strong with a dastardly story of half truths, worded es- peciallv l?v attorneys to avoid libel proceedings, but as only a coward oln attacked Mrs. Strong who had naught to do with the political affair of the Territory and was woman of respect and honor Strong was superseded by Windy" Tommy Riggs and the Strongs. for many years re- sidents of the territory left for the outside. They had been iv- ing in California and Washing ton since leaving the Territory.
 Governor Strong will be re- membered for two things as gov ernor of Alaska-his whole in terest in all of Alaska and all it's people and by his crucifiXion by his friend and beneficiary John W. Troy.
