EXTINCTION OK WILD
GAME 18 THREATENED
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 8.—An
alarming decrease in wild animal life
in the last decade threatens the ex
tinction of some species, according to
Ur. Walter Penn Taylor, of the Bu
reau of Biological •Survey of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
who spent the summer gathering data
on mammals of the state.
“I think there is particularly very
grave danger of the total extinction
of the mountain goat,” he 6aid. ‘“I
believe that a law creating a clos

Otter and other fur-hearing animals'
would be excellent.”
Practically all the work of the bio
logical survey in this state last sea
son was in the Cascade mountains
west of Yakima, and on the Yakima

II) Ian Receives largest Plurality
Kver Known—Strength of So
cialist Vote Amazing
NEYV YORK. Nov. 8.—The Tam
many organization yesterday showed
its traducers that it could come back,
f'rom early morning to late at nigiit,
every plan perfected by this great
organization went through without a
hitch. Judge J. Hylati. the Tammany
nominee, received the lurgest plur
ality ever known. He received 297,
000 votes, Mitchell 149,000, Hillquit.
Socialist, 142,000, and Bennett, Re
publican, only 53,000. The entire
Democratic ticket was elected with
one of the greatest votes ever polled
in history.
The huge increase in the Socialist
vote was the amazing feature of the
election. At the last election the So
cialists polled 32,000 votes; Tuesday,
142,000.
i lie miicneu supporters euny in
the week had adopted a slogan that
“A Vote for Hylan Was A. Vote for
The Kaiser.” The Tammany organi
zation replied by publishing the list
of Mitchellraen who belonged to the
famous 69th. This was a boomerang
and had Its effect immediately. The
Socialists worked as quietly as Tam
many and surprised all parties.
Judge Hylan issued a statement
today thanking his supporters tor
standing by American principles and
refusing to be stampeded by un-Am
erican utterances.
Charles Herron, proprietor of the
Anchorage Times, was an outgoing
passenger on the Admiral Evans.

MARRIAGE LAW IS ANNOY
ING TO TAN'AN’A INDIANS
Missionaries of the Episcopal
church have asked Judge Charles E.
Bunnell, of the United States dis
trict court for the Fourth Division,
with headquarters at Fairbanks, to
establish a recording precinct at Ta
nana Crossing so that it will not be
difficult for Indian residents in that
district to comply with the marriage
laws enacted at the last session of the
Alaska Legislature
The legislature passed a law mak
ing it compulsory for every clergy
man to require a marriage license be
fore uniting any couple in the bonds
of matrimony. Failure to comply
with this law constitutes a misde
meanor.
At Tanaua Crossing there is a
large Indian settlement, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner. The natives
do not object to complying with the
law, but if any young red man wishes
to marry, he is compelled to take
the prospective bride to the nearest
commissioer, who is at Chicken
creek, more than 10 miles distant,
to obtain the license.
The trip is a lot of work and ra
ther than make the journey, it is
feared that some of the natives will
take the law into their own l ends,
disregard the license requirement
and live together without a marital
ceremony. In such event they would
be subject to prosecution.
It the recording precinct is «tab
llshed at Tftnana Crossing, it would
not be difficult for them to comply
with the law.
