The SpOrtsmen's Corner
By
THE OLD WARDEN

Well, Wrangell's population was
augmented this week by two mighty
hunters, white Goose" Jack Guck-
er and "Garlick" Jeffries. These
boys were looking fine and we were
mighty glad to see them. OF course,
Jack was rather sore about the sea-
son closing just when his pet white
geese are getting located on
Browns Island and Jeff was sore
at the Government killing off all
his pigs, but outside of this they
both seemed happy.
| was out the road yesterday and
saw a couple of fine grouse and
really believe that we are overlook
ing a good bet in not giving little
more attention to this fine game
bird. l think that if a man would
get a good spaniel who would hunt
close to him and use a cylinder
bore gun with 7 1a shot you could
have some real sport with this fine
game bird.
| am sure that one bird bagged
on the wing and in season would
bring a great deal more satisfaction
to the hunter than one ported out
of a tree while he is drumming his
love song to his brooding mate The
season is from September l to Feb
ruary 2S and the limit is 10 birds
per day.
Now, boys, 1 want to give you a
little advice about handling a gun
as we do not want any sad acct
dents to mar all our fun this fall.
Never in fun point a gun at any
one or let anyone point one at you.
Never carry loaded gun in an
auto, boat or skiff.
When you are out on the marsh
and darkness overtakes you, unload
your gun; you can not shoot any
thing, anyway, and you might trip
in the dark and have a bad acct
dent
Whenever you jump a slough see
that your gun is at safety; you
might slip
Never drag a gun AFTER you
when stalking game. Always keep it
in front of you and before shooting
make sure that. you have not
plugged the barrel with mud.
And so, remember; it hurts just
as much to be shot accidentally as
by evil intent. You cannot impress
anyone with your skill as a shot
by beating him through unfair
means.
Don't borrow a gun or dog or loan
either. Don't exceed the bag limit
or shoot out of season. Stand for
square deal yourself and the people
will see that you get it.
So long, I'll be seeing you, unless
you see me first.

Batting Is Blamed For
Great Duck Slaughter

More than 100000 wild ducks
were killed in the United States
last year by $4,000 hunters on areas
where bait was used to attract the
birds, according to reports compiled
recently by the L. S. Biological
Survey.
Now outlawed by the federal gov
eminent in order to reduce the an
nual kill of ducks, batting was al
lowed during the 1885 hunting
season only under permits that pro-
hibited shooting after p. m. Issued
without charge, the permits re-
quired that the holders keep daily
records and make detailed reports
at the close of the season. Federal
officials did not check up on the
accuracy of these reports.
The Biological Survey issued 1908
permits, of which 126 were sur
rendered and Cancelled, and for
about 10 of which no reports were
received. Permits were issued in SO
states. The holders, says the Bureau,
reported that 44,349 gunners on
the baited premises killed 661,2O4
ducks, 11,140 geese and 739 brant.
The heaviest kill of ducks on
baited premises in any one state,
according to the reports, was in

will be returned to the town. The
case tax of sanneries outside incor-
porated limits is paid into the Ter
ritolial treasury. This year it is es-
timated that the tax thus returned
to Wrangell will be not less than
$4,000 and probably much more. In
addition, the canneries pay proper
ty tax, and are lare consumers of
electric current from the towns
plant. The final statistics of the
money put in circulation in
Wrangell by the three salmon can
neries will make most interesting
reading.
From the packers point of view,
his life would be happy if he were
through paying taxes when he had
settled property and case assess
ments. But it seems that the law
piles tax on top of taxes, begin
ming with annual trap licenses, a
corporation tax, on through to a
property tax on salmon stocks held
in storage after shipment to the
states, and ending in an income tax,
if the operator is lHcky, but in
another bottle of red ink, if he is
not able to dispose of his product

Baer, who weighed in at 238
pounds had a "a pound advantage
over his opponent but he showed
more speed and accuracy during the
short minutes the fight lasted
Their bout was set for last Thurs

HOUSTON, TEN.-Faced by an
advancing horde OF army worms,
farmers in this district are fighting
desperately to save their crops, but
it appears hopeless task, accord
ing to agricultural officials. They
are thought to have come directly
from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
and Arkansas, where they have
wrought widespread destruction.
A family of Mexican farmers were
literally driven from their home by
the insects which invaded every
building on their farm, and forced
them to flee. Officials are planning
on following the example of the
other four states in combating the
pest with calcium arsenate, which
is sprayed from low flying airplanes.
This method has proved the most
effective SO far and the agricultural
department is offering to cooperate
in an attempt to stamp out the des-
tructive worms.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 30.-A hushed
capital awaits the arrival of the
train which is bearing the remains
of the Belgian Queen Astrid from
Switzerland where she was killed
in motor car accident while on a
vacation with her husband.
On the same train is her bereaved
mate, King Leopold, who was at the
wheel of their machine when it be-
came manageable and crashed,
and her children, who are being
brought back home. Al every station
along the route, it is reported that
large crows of sympathizing Euro
peans gather to witness the passage
of the fneral train as it wends its
solemn way to this city. The right
of way is cleared to permit the cor
tege to have a practically uninter
rupted run, and solieitous officials
along the line do everything pos
sible to facilitate a quick trip.
An air of solemnity hangs over
the entire nation, as the public
grieves over the death of their
queen. Her popularity with all Bel
gians is touching, in view of the
fact that she came from anothcr
country and had been forced to
adapt herself to a different people.
The funeral is expected to be one of
the largest held in this city.
