We have received no word of such arise at Harper's Ferry, and unless that is reported there 1s no danger. ‘The ice which 1s running in the Shenandoah will not do any damage without an accompanying rise. It will soon become choked up in that partof the country. 1 think if the chan- nel here is kept open but little damage will be done, even if we do get afreshet here.

Mr. Arnold Hayne, of the U. 8. geological survey, Who was requested by the Secretary of the Interior to present his views in regard to the protection of the Yellowstone park, states that the most im- portant consideration is the protection of the dense forests, as they are necessary for the storing up ot the waters which form the numerous lakes. It seems to him that if there ts any future for the Yellowstone valley the forests of the Yel- lowstone park and adjoining country should preserved. For these reasons the area of the park should be enlarged to the south and east, and at thesame time some modifications in the boundaries to the north and west. In the original bill setting aside the park the boundaries are somewhat loosely stated. He recommends that the northern boundary be the 45th paraliel, the western line to coincide with the one between Mon- tana and Idaho, the 44th parallel for the southern boundary and the meridian of 109° 30’ be made the eastern boundary. Next in importance to the preservation of the forests Mr. Hayne considers that, of the protection of the large game. The people of Montana realize the importance of game laws, and the wanton slaughter of game is mainly practised by tourists and persons ‘from a distance who have but slight interest in the country. Mr. Hayne recommends that wagon roads be built to all points of interest. He refers to the destruction of the silicate deposits, and urges that laws be enacted to protect the park in this particular as well as others. peice dither <a cin West Washington Affairs, RUNAWAY Horses—About eight o'clock last night two horses attached to a ry Wagon belonging to Cropley Bros. became frightened on 2d street, and ran away, demolishing the wagon and knocking down two tree-boxes.
