Moats, chief clerk, has completed his annual census of the Boise national forest and his report shows that at the end of 1934 there were 19,524 animals (wild) roaming that mountainous , section of Idaho. Chipmunks and squirrels defied counting, so were not included in the report. The report shows the forest to contain by actual count 4,600 mule deer, 1,500 elk, 275 brown or black bear, 600 mountain sheep and five antelope among the big game division. Fur bearing animals are more numerous. Ermine lead the list, numbering 4,250, beavers total 1,460, mink 1,025, foxes 325 and martens 645. And there are 1,304 chances that at least one groundhog will see his shadow this spring. Tho underworld population still flourishes, the report shows. A total of 3,524 predatory animals remain to cause discomfort to forest rangers, ranchers and visitors. These are divided so: Coyotes, 1,025; mountain lion or cougar, 67; lynx, 230; wolves, between 8 and 12, and porcupines, 3,200. Denounces Pardon Racket Probe Spartanburg, Feb. 4.?The $10,000 asked for in the senate resolution of last week for an investigation of "the .pardoning racket of former governors" could better 'be used by "relieving the suffering of those now in the penitentiary rather than by attempting to discredit a retiring governor," former Governor I. C. Blackwood declared here today. Blackwood said that he would "cheerfully 'welcome any investigation." But, the former governor contin: ued: "Legislative bodies frequently pass resolutions to investigate some function or some official and the committee of investigation is usually constituted by partisans of the resolution and never results in anything more than the drawing of a per diem by those who constitute the committee." Blackwood's statement was in reply to the resolution offered by Senator H. Kemper Cooke, of Horry county, asking that a committee be appointed and that $10,000 be appropriated for an investigation of the pardoning racket in this state.

(mi son in Charlotte ()b*erver) "NotlunK in the pas, ? ,,v?.l to "'? mm, who would lean. h()w ,he Present came to be what it is." A beautiful bit of genuine history * Ct?/lUlned the fascinating rums Of the canal lock, canal trench and rock bridge, at Landlord on the Caawba river ,n Cheater county, South Carolina, Coming suddenly upon thia old ; "'"1 "Unda ?"< ' and aurprise. Then cornea a feeling 0f regret that all who are interested in Knowing how the present came to be can not see this monument to the enterprising spirit of the generation that conceived and executed it, before it is too late. One does not see >t, however, unless a special visit is nade, for it is near an unfrequented '?" * '? the river bottom-land, obscuied by trees and vines. This lock and trench are a part of the old Rocky Mount canal, built on fh r?.Un(lhthe nUmber of on the Catawba river in this section. This Jock is several feet deep and about twelve feet wide-wide enough for the Hat bottomed, shallow boats used for cotton. The sides and bottom of this lock a?e paved with granite blocks, but trees that have grown up through the crevices have gradually forced up the pavement at the bottom. On each side ,s a granite pavement about three feet wide, put there as a brace, especially was this brace needed at the corners where the sluice gates were fitted. The grooves can be seen where the gates were lifted and lowOver this lock is a picturesque bridge, floor and deep sides made entirely of small boulders. This bridge was built when the lock was, and is still useable. The old canal trench ? Quite visible, although grown over n vines and trees. Near by is a crumbling rock house, built for the lock keeper. There is an inscription on one of the granite blocks of the lock which 182V' . Rober! Lt'ckie Contractor, 11 1" , WaKl that this canal was built by skilled workmen from Scotland. Another and much longer lock of Rocky Mount canal was at Catawba Falls (now Great Falls! built to go around the successor! of rapids on the river at that point. Rut the oj.i canal was deepened and made use of as a race for the great power plant operating there at present. At some distance away stands the house built for the keeper of the MC^' mrade ?f hand-ca,'v'ed granite blocks. Its old gray walls stand sturdy and strong on the hill-side, overlooking the Catawba. At one end is a broad fireplace, with the chimney going up from the inside. The wide doorway is gracefully arched above, there are two small windows on each aide of the door. The rear has the same arrangement, except the doorway is not arched, or so large. It seems to have been a house of two rooms and hall. Since the river has been turned from its original channel, "rock house" is on an island all alone. How one longs to move it, before it succumbs to time and neglect, to some place where the world goes by, restore it and write its history" upon the lovely stone above the doorway, so that "nothing in the past might be dead to those who would learn how the present came to be." Tooo R?Cky M?Unt canal- finished in 1823, was the last one built in the f atf" Aftcr it was completed and lock keepers appointed it is said thai one boat loa.l of cotton passed through, $30.00 toll was received and the canal sank into oblivion. The reason for this sudden collapse of a project that had taken years to construct was that the railway had simultaneously been completed to Columbia and afforded transportation to much of the country that the canal was designed to help. The object of the canal was to open navigation from Charleston through North Carolina and eventually have canal .connection with the \Vatau~a river in Tennessee and so link Charleston with the west. We read, "A Company for Opening the Navigation of Catawba and Wateree rivers was chartered in South Carolina in 1787 and in North Carolina in 1788." i>iThe?-(5latawba river rises the Blue Ridge of North Carolina, and in its course passes near Lincolnton and Charlotte and on into South Car^n*^_Ju?^balow what was once Catawba Falls, but now Great Falls, the name changes to Wateree-at a point where Wateree creek flows into it. As the Wateree it goes down through the state and joins the Congaree (the I Broad and Saluda fo m the Congaree) and together they?the Congaree and Wateree-form the Santee. Hie Santee is the river through which tow the waters of the larger streams S Country. More than half t! nV<r ** * commercial hifhSZ J T the *rat canal In the aUte waa built. The iSantee Canal Company waa V * ^ chartered in 17841, "when the people began to enjoy the blessings of peace.'/ At this time, we are told a great spirit of enterprise seized upon the people und internal improve-' merits became the chief question of the day in many states and 'South Carolina was not exempt from the "spirit of the age." So she began to spend money very liberally on roads and canals. The Santee canal being the one toward which most of the energy and interest were directed. * It was opened in 1800, was twentytwo miles long connected the Santee with the Cooper, establishing a system of commercial transportation 'by water to Charleston. It continued ' i use until 1850, when the railway made river shipping unprofitable. Now after eighty-<five years of disuse there is a great agitation going on to re-open this old Santee-Cooper canal as a governmental project. Engineers and government officials have been making plans which call for approximately $34,000,000. In 1786 the Santee Canal company was chartered with a capital of 100,000 pounds sterling. The vision in mind for this modern canal is as vastly different from TRat of 1786 as the two sums involved. Then the narrow, flat bottomed boats, laboriously "poled," could only go one way?down to the sea. Now they will go both ways with great speed and heavy cargoes. Effort is also being made to reopen the old Columbia canal, opened about 1822, and served cotton planters for about thirty years. Boats went through this canal and into the Congaree at Granby, through to the Santee-Cooper to Charleston. The immortal George Washington was the original promoter of canals in this country. The Potomac Canal company was organized in 1785 with Washington as its first president. He took special interest in the undertaking and gave personal supervision. No doubt he got his ideas from ancient nations, for the Egyptians very early made canals connecting the Nile und Red sea, and there was the great canal of China, 825 miles long. Victor Was Loser I In Drinking Bout Columbia, Feb. 4.-~-Clarenee Tuck-j it, 25-yoar-old Columbia negro, won u bet that he could drink a half gal- j Ion of curik whiskey in ten minutes yesterday with seven minutes to spare but he dropped dead a few minutes later. Coroner John A. Sergeant who investigated the case said doctors attributed death to acute alcoholism. He described the bet as a simple one between two friends in the presence of a witness. The agreement was that if Tucker failed to down the huge draught he should pay for the full amount. Otherwise his companion would pay. Sergeant quoted witnesses as say- < ing that Tucker's friend congratulated him on his remarkable feat whereupon Tucker, with a smile of 1 victory on his face, walked half a block and dropped dead.
