Here is a letter from H. 0. Keeler.
GAO West Ffty-third street. that
tells OF terrible condition from
the sewer that enters White river
at Capitol avenue. The letter reads
as follows:
The sewer at Capitol avenue and
White river, back of the Riviera
Club, always has been bad. but now
it is throwing a stream of raw sewage
into the river that is running the
fishing and boating as far down.
stream as Northwestern avenue.
This sewage is OF the worst type.
with terrible odor and is desposit-
ing a mass of filthy solids on the
river bottom that soon will make
this once nice section of the river
comparable to the stretch of river
below the Kingan g. Co. plant. The
conservation department has been
doing a wonderful Job of cleaning
up the streams of the state and they
should investigate the condition at
this point Citizens in this section
are determined to put a stop to the
condition, and if they can not Sc
cure action from the state board Of
health, they will file civil suits"
The people of southern Indiana
were reported to be hostile toward
| Warden Elliott because he shot and
killed an alleged law violator. Even
though the young man was a cripple
think that the warden was fully
justified in protecting his own life.
The fact that the hunter did not
have a license to hunt may have
been his only reason to try to escape
but we never have heard of bullet
being crippled even if the person
handling the gun and shooting at
another person was. The warden,
according to reports, was in full
uniform when he ordered the
hunter to show his permit to even
have gun so that removes the alibi
OF thinking that he was being held
up. Warden Elliott has proved him
self to be hard working officer do
ing his duty at all times and the
Sportsmen of the state should get
behind MIN 100 per cent. The same
citizens who have turned against
the warden since the unfortunate
happening were the ones who COM
mended him to his superiors when
he captured a quail trapper two
weeks ago.
The shades Of Buffalo Bill, re-
cumbent since the passing of the
laundering herd, rides again. this
time in Canada, where the buffalo
has been increasing so rapidly that
the Canadian government au-
thorized the killing of 1000 last
month and during December. The
slaughter is made necessary by lack
of grazing facilities to supply the
large number of bison with food.
In 1910 a total of TIC buffalo, Sc
| cured from remnants of the vast
herds that once roamed the United
States, were delivered to Canadian
authorities. OF this number 631
were placed in Buffalo National
park, near Wainwright, Alberta,
and the remainder in Elk Island
park, near Lamont, Alberta. An
additional lit animals were intro
duced subsequently 10 Buffalo park
from other sources. Since that time
both herds have registered tremen-
dous gains with the proper food,
environment and control of preda-
tory species necessary to successful
restoration of any game birds or
animals. In Buffalo park alone, the
original TAB animals have increased
to $4,000.
Various measures have been taken
to reduce the constantly growing
size of the herds. Several years ago
6,673 buffalo we're shipped to the
Northwest territory, and some $500
head have been slaughtered. Others
have been donated to geological
parks. Still the animals have in
creased and now Canada has re-
sorted to annual killing to keep it's
stock within bounds. What Can
ada has accomplished with the buff
falo, which reprOduces at the rate
OF one calf a year, teaches con-
serVation parable. If sportsmen will
