Childhood Scenes.
Miss Helen Smith, of Ellcnsbuig,
Washington, wus here this week for u
few days' visit with Alex Vunllusklik,
G.'orge Lelnner and Itobcrt Montgom
ery and their families.
Miss Helen Is tho daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Moses M. Smith,
who was an early day merchant In our
city, and sold goals on the corner now
occupied by Moore & Springer. He
was our county collector of levenue
during the years, 1873-74. The family
later went to Mound City, where her
father sold goals for many years, and
later went t" Port Townscnd, Wash.,
where her parents died.
There were two girls in the
family, Oertrude und Helen. Gertrude
is now u widow and resides in F.llens
burg, Wash. Helen is single, and It a
klndergarden teacher at Ellensburg.
She wai born in Oregon, and, of course,
had a delightful visit with those who
were intimate with the Smiths in the
years gone by. When Helen came Into
the world, Mrs. Montgomery was pres
ent at the party, and, of course, has
.... f.lt n ilffKn interest In her.
Miss Helen Is on her way to Chicago,

New Federal Game
Friends of the mlcrrntoi
bo deeply Interested In a bill Introduc
ed In the senate by New, of Indiana,
and In the house by Anthony, of Kan
sas. It is not designed to take the
piacc or any game laws now op the
statute books, but contains some'en
1 1 rely new annlicatlon of the frdsral
authority over the wild foul In their
passage from one part of the country
io mc oincr.
Briefly the bill provides for tho es
tablishment of shooting grounds for
the public, for refuges for the birds
anu ror sufficient runds tn piotcct
properly both our migratory game ami
Insectivorous hints This bill does
these things without coning the gen
eral tax-payer one cent, as it further
plnvide- that all mm who shoot ml
graloiy gume birds In the United
Stutrs must flrt tuko out a federal
Hunting llceu-e, costing $1.
The money obtained from th' II
rensc is to go Into n separate fund,
Known as me -migratory ninl protec
tion fund." Annioximutriv one. half
l to be ued for the purchase of lake
aim marn mens and the other half
Is to be ucd for the caie ami pro
tection of the blnls.
It Is provided hy statltlc that since
the government inaugurated Its policy
of protecting wild fowl, which are In
almoit every instance Insectivorous
and thciefoie of incalculable vnlne In
tho funnel of the country, theio
blnls hn Increased In numlier verv
materially. Hut the lenient piovisicns
of rxUtitig legislation have made nec
cssuiy, In the opinion at lcat of Sen-
utor New und Kcprcscntntlvc Anthony,
supplemental protection us piuvlded in
the new bill.
Some extiemely Interesting side
light nie thrown on the whole prob
lem by Carlo Avery, Minnesota's
game and fisli commissioner. The
Mine.ota low requites the hunter lo
leport tne number and species of the
birds he kills each car befole he cun
secuic u licence for the suwcdiug
year. Men If every .Mlnne-ota hun'er
Is u verituble denrge Washington, the
sportsmen of that state admit liavlntr
killed In one year ulnrie 1010 over
'(mhumhi migratory game blnls, most
of which were wild ducks.
On the other hand such un enoriws
number of birds may be conceded to
have u definite food value, thnuuh they
were unilmibteiliy Highly expensive
meat. Un the other hand Indiscrimi
nate slaughter of the nation' wild life
Is un economic crime setting aside all
humanitarian activities of the Audu
bon societies and other lovers of wild.
lir'.'Iictween the'twnfthe new hilt
seams to. promise the lenulsitc protec
tion of this wjld life ftoin annihilation,
wMIa at the tame time glvlrtg the
hunter all the oppoitunity lo'slav to
which they nre legitimately entitled.

It should be left wholly to the enninrcr.
yet the board has seen fit to have the
