1 EDITORIAL f
The publication of a description of
a seventy-two day trip from Denver,
Colorado, to the A!-ska-Yukon hunt
ing grounds ; gonial Editor of
Outdoor I.lfe. is a i . ist interesting
aud informing narrative.
There's not a dull page in the nar
rative. and for thos • who have hunt
ed in the north, ti.f book is a life
like picture aud for those who are
thinking of hur.v there thi» book
is i::dispen?:b!e
The question of - .:e pernor vat ion
is touched ttpon. ;.nd the mooted
question of p^ot-iti:;.; the Brown
i'.eyr and the 10 r-tie. are treated from
the practical standpoint On p .ire
«o we read:
removing ;< 11 prote "ion from the big
browns. gr;;:.:!,'es. with the exception |
of a $5 or a $lw exp »rt Hcente on the
hides.
speaking <>t Katies 1 e says: "If
these bir>Is ~ i.i ]>•• satisfied with
rodents, o;VaI. « tc, for their in .in
1 would feel inclined to like the;:
but considering the great ii.euaiO
they are to yv.it tig :ut:ie. especially
lambs and kids ! ant heartily in sym
pathy with the Alaskan view that
they should I •> kiiW whenever pos
sible.
When a lamb is horn nearly every
eagle, it see: s ■ -'i fifty miles, of
th scene kr.ov.s • and by strikit:"
it with their * :.-s by attacking it
with their he nd claws nnd other
wise harrajthey soon topple i;
over a clitT where it furnishes a rich
morsel for their ghoul, h appetite."
ile also raises his vvi«- against the
custom, long in vogue in the north,
of keeping trail dogs <1 irint: the sum
mer on wild game meat killed for
thi-1 purpose and fed to the dogs by
their caretakers. This custom de
pletes the great game herds of the
eountry. There are cabins in the
b.-.t hunting sections to which the •
boarders of dogs take their char, >
and where the ground is literally
covered with the pelts of sheep and
moose and caribou slain for dog
meat.
The expedition under Mr. Me
Citire was seat out by the Denver
Museum for the collection of speci
mens. Thev secured a fine collec
tion. and incidentally learned much
of Alaskan game fields. Mr. Mc
(Juire has preserved in his hook, pub
lished by Stewart & Kid Co.. a very
vivid description of the trip. The
difficulty of negotiating the great
glaciers, the dangers of fording the
glacial streams in getting to and from
the hunting grounds are here set
forth with lifelike accuracy. The
trip of 7,2>'0 miles for 72 days for
four persons cost <1.00 psr mile or
one hundred r r day for the whole
trip.
The boo'-. !< a distict addition to
the literature of the North country.
o\k r>o'i:\ FOR 33 CENTS
Most of tiie comparative food
price lists that appear iu the press
relate to wholesale prices, and, while j
they show a reduction from the war
time peak, do not accurately indl-'
..ale the change in household food i
budget. A chain-store organization |
in Washington, D. C., conducting
155 retail grocor.v stores, has staples
arid what they sold lor during the '
war. Accordiug to those ligures,
$7.49 will buy now what it cost $14.- j
OS to purchase at the war peak. That j
is, 53 cents will buy what $1 did dur- j
ing the war. Many lessons can be
drawn from those fact, not the least j
of which is that railroad and other j
wages that wero pushed higher and •
yet higher during the war, on the
theory that they should keep pace
with the rising cost of living, should I
now re-adjusted downwards for !
precisely the same reason.

BLESSED BY A BULL FIGHT.
J Jnne Addams wont once to a bull
I fight in Spain. She saw five bulls
killed and as many horses. When her
friends expressed their surprise at her
Indifference to the bloody sport, she
said she had not thought much about
It. Thyi she began-4o think. The !
more she thought, the more her eon
science troubled her. She had been
contemplating engaging In some form
of social work. It suddenly was im
pressed upon her that she had been
> lulling her conscience to sleep by a
dream of sen-ice that was remain
ing only a dream, that she was not
' really In earnest. It was the, memory
of her attitude of Indifference to the ,
I bull fight that acted as a mirror
to her soul and stirred her to action,
! says Our Dumb Animals. She re
: turned to America, nnd the famous
Hull House of Chicago came imo'be

Modern Words Traced to Trees. !
While the ancient Greeks fancied
that every tree w:t«'possessed of Its
own peculiar spirit, and nature lovers j
Insist that trees have personalities
even as men ami women, it Is only nat-1
I mil that men haw.1 paid tribute toj
I lie tree. The leaves of jdants >
named the leaves of books, and the'
word "folio" traces back to "foliage.".
The word paper comes from the old |
papyrus plant, and the word --Hijde";
is the Greek name of the plant, accord
ing to the Minneapolis Journal. The,
word "book" Is derived from "beech,"
and the "codex" originall.\ meant tree '
trunk. It Is because na n have fount I
the trees kind friends and interestlnc
subjects that they have ' ecu paid scl
iuu'-h tribute. ' '
