BIG INTERESTS TEACH
HU[ OF WILD LIFE
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (£»)—nLarge;
! corporations such as railway com.
panies, light and power companies,
lumber companies and others,, which
own or control extensive areas of
land and water, have an opportunity
to do much for the preservation of
game and other wild life, says a bul
letin of the American Game Protec
ton Association. Some of them do
take an active interest and contribute
effectively to this work.
An instance of this is a recent bul
letin entitled “Wild Life Values,” is
sued by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road Company. This bulletin calls
attention to the fact that “until re
cently the average landowner has not
thought of the game (birds and ani
mals) as having anp value, and has
been content to let it get along as
best it could.” “Now, however,” the
bulletin continues, “landowners in
the South, most of whom like to hunt
and fish, are waking up to the fact
that in order to have good hunting
it is necessary to give game animals
and birds some form of protection,
and they are realizing more and
more that protection from fires is
even more important than protection
by bag limits and short seasons.”
The bulletin concludes with this
paragraph: “Properly cared for, the
game resources can be made to pay
handsome returns, and the combina
tion of game and timber growing
will solve the problem of many large
owners who are not now deriving
any profits from their lands.” It may
be added that the public in general
willfind far more of pleasure, satis
faction and profit through giving
proper protection to wild life than
by permitting its ruthless destruction
and ultimate extinction.

A SPLENDID GARDEN
The beautiful bouquets of flowers
carried by a number of departing
! passengers last Monday on the S.
S. Alaska, evinced much admiration,
especially so from the many tourists,
; but few people in the city knew that,
I contrary to being plucked from a
I hot-house, they were the product
: from the beautiful garden of Mrs.
jj. O. Preston.
The first bouquet wras presented to
j her friend Mrs. Hopeyman but the
jother passengers on the steamer,
‘when they saw them, would not rest
until they had a few. So Mrs. Pres,
ton, very graciously presented quite
a number of the gorgeous blossoms,
j But flowers are not the only things
pleasing to the eye in her garden
; for luscious strawberries, great big
! fragrant ones, and wonderful - new
I potatoes are found in abundance.
Recent reports from Anchorage
rail headquarters are to the effect
! there has been quite a shake-up a
! mong the train crews and in the
{shuffle some of the oldtimers are
! missing.
When you think suits think Urbach.
A dollar saved is a dollar earned,
and so the shoe repair shop is a serv
ice station on the road to "wealth.
