RUMBLINGS OF THE
 PORT WARDEN

Starting December 16 and con tinuing for 30 days, will be open season for the taking of beaver and marten in southeast Alaska, or fur district No. 1. The bag limit will be ten GOD of each kind, all other fur remaining the same as before. This will be a great life to many an honest trapper and the Alaska Game Commission deserves credit for this ruling, which should re- main in force until Prosperity smiles upon us again. The wolf and wolverine will have some legal competition now in catching the beaver.
 How about those stray foxes running wild on nearby every island and on the mainland as well? Why permit a fur farmer to have fox traps out on unclaimed islands catching fox and mink the year around, while the regular trapper, also paying his tax, has only 30 to 60 days in which to make his catch? Why discriminate?
 And It's about time Walter D. put away the Gertrude c" until another tourist season comes around

numbered as follows: Colesville 2, Rock
vile 8. Bethesda 4. Chevy Chase S, Silver
Spring g. and Takoma Park 8.

shows that during the year there were 4O6
deaths from motor vehicle accidents in
MARYLAND, 1874 whites and 72 colored. or
rs in each 100000 of the total population
white and colored.
What this signifies may be gathered by
comparison of these figures with the
deaths from other causes. For instance,
there was a serious flare-up of typhoid in
1870. causing 104 deaths-6.4 in each
100 900 of the total population; whoop-
