ON GOVERNMENT RESERVES
Pacific News Servtoe, Wash Bureau
WASHINGTON, The herds of buf
falo on government big-game preser
ves have shown a notable Increase
this year .according to the annual re
port of the United States Biological
Survey, just Issued.
Five big-game preserves and 67 bird
reservations are maintained by the
federal government. The mammal
reservations Includes the Montano
Bison Range, the Wild Cave Game
Preserve in South Dakota, the Nio
biara Reservation In Nebraska, the
Elk Refuge In Wyoming and the Sul
lys Hills Game Preserve In North Da
kota. The Nlabrara Reservation
was intended as a bird reserve, but
has been stocked with big game and Is
at present maintained chiefly for buf
falo and elk.
In the flr3t three reservations men
tioned, the report states, the buffalo
have multiplied In numbers since their
establishment a few years ago, and
now inslude 207 head, or more than a
third of all the buffalo which now bo
long to the government. The elk
number about 160 an! the antelope
10, making a total of about 400 head
of big game.
The number of bird reservations
war increased during the year by the
addition of the Big Lake Reservation
in Arkansas. Sixty-seven reserva
tions are now maintained primarily
for birds. The report urges the im
portance and necessity of retaining
as breeding grounds for water-foul
and other birds, tracts of land which
arc not especially valuable for agTi
uu'.ural purposes. The area of march
land necessary for breeding grounds
in insignificant, It Is said, In coin
pcrlsoa with the bcnifits which will
uccure to the public through the in
orcti3c in our supply of game birds.

JAPANESE GOBBLE TRADE
W OF CAPTURED TSINGTAU
Pacific New* Service, Wash, Bureau
f WASHINGTON, D. C.—Since the
Japanese occupation of Tlngtuu Jup
...... anese Imports have Increased to an
amount that is practically tantamount
to an elimination of foreign compti
. tlrn,- according to consular reports
made public by the department of
commerce.
Prior to the war the trade of the
Germanized city was very evenly
divided among the commercial nations
o< the world but now Japan's trade
with the port is seven times greater
than that of all other nations com
bined. Last year 1,037 Japanese
steamers of 1,308,101 aggregate ton
nage entered and cleared at the port,
against only 133 vessels of foreign
register, hnving a tonnage of 198,193.
Many Japanese firms established
branches In T3ingtau immediately or
scon after the city’s fall, and they
have practically monopolized the im
port trade and have secured a lion’s
share of the export business.
In value of exports and Imports be
fore the war Tsingtau was the fifth
city in China. Last year it wa3 ninth,
the drop being the result of it going
through a transformation of adopting
Itr-clf to commercial and other con
dlt'ons changed by the war. Its for
mer standing will soon be regained,
the report predicts.
Hand-looms huve been resorted to
be Chinese of Tsingtau and contiguous
tciritory with which to weave cloth
for necessary clothing owing to the
nbbcnce of textile establishments and
the prohibitive cost of imported cloth.
I'or illumination the population of
the city has returned to the use of
peanut oil because of the high prices
ot petroleum products.

UHDER AMERICAN RULE
Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Conditions
in Halt! have Improved greatly sin’e
the American occupation and the rati
fication by both countries of a custom3
convention containing provisions
gi-aranteeing the maintenance of a
peaceful and orderly government,Con
sul -TJviPgston, at Cape Haitian, has
reported to the stat“ department.
Previous to the American occuoa
lon, however, the northern part of
HbiU suffered from the temporary
interruption of business resulting
front' the «,eca33ional blockade of the
pert, the seizure or temporary clos
ing of the custom house, the neglect
o-' the office, and the losses and gen
eral destruction of the buildings and
m; chlnery of - the large plantations
and the Inability of the proprietors
to restore them.
The beneficent efforts of a stable
government, however, have already
manifested themselves and the pro
ductive class appear to be satisfied
with present conditions, the report
c'ates.
Organizations are being formed for
the establishment of large industrial
■ j

AMERICAN CAPITAL
TO BUILD HOMES FOR
DUBLIN WORKMEN
Pacific N«w3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The provi
sion of better living quarters for the
working population of Dublin has for
several years been one of the most'
important problems of the municipal j
government of the Irish capital, the
City authorities having undertaken the1
betterment of the home-life conditions
of the workingmen. Consular reports
to the state department state that a
lccn of $2,000,000 at 5 1-2 per rent,
has Just been made by a Boston firm
to the Ciity of Dublin for the purpose
of constructing additional workmen’s
dwellings.
Two years ago several blocks of
dwellings were built by the city for
workmen and it is claimed that the
health of those living in the new
sanitary houses is far better than that
of those still residing in the old build
ings. This is especially true in the
case of tuberculosis, th'o report:
state.'
HARO ON THHE "BOOKIE."
The following conversation took
place at a fashionable hotel between
one of the waiters and a bookmaker,
who was living there,
‘‘I 3ay waiter," said the “bookie,”
’ you are the slowest lot of waiters 1
ever saw.”
‘ Reg pardon, sir,” was the reply.
"It's not on the first-past-the-post
principles here.
‘‘What do ou know about first-past
the-post?” inquired the bookmaker.
‘ You should be home digging turf.”
“Well sir,” said the waiter, “If I
was home on the farm I would be
sleeping with the pigs, but there I
have only to wait on them."
