The council's investigation of former City Engineer E. L.

Mayor Mottman stated he had made no direct accusations that Van Epps had taken any records but that it seemed to him there must have been records supplementing those in the cfllce and that if there were they be longed to the city. The mayor's ex amination of Van Epps was blocked by the latter's attorney, T. M. Vance, who declared It appeared to be gen eral in nature when the Inquiry was limited solely to the matter of the rec ords. In this he was sustained by the council. Howie and Senate tianie Lawn Conflict. While the Senate was discussing and Anally passed, a measure creating the state game warden system for the preservation and protection of the wild game in the state, the house com mittee on game and game Ash, this week, introduced and urged a bill to retain the present county game war den system. The game code passed by the senate gives to two state game wardens the entire supervision and control of the wild game, under the direction of a commission to be appointed by the governor. One of these wardens is to be appointed from east and the other from west of the mountains. Each county is to pay and place at the dis posal of the state oAlcers a deputy. The bill introduced in the House places entire charge of the preserva tion of all game, the enforcement of all game laws and the protection and propagation of all game birds, game animals, game Ash and harmless birds and animals iu the hands of the coun ty wardens.

The Hanson plan, which is to de velop land not owned by the state and consequently does not conflict with Metcalf's idea, Is also favorable view ed. The plan of making the cost of the improvement a direct lien on the property is the same as is followed by some of the Middle Western states in the reclamation of thousands of acres cf swamp lands and has been found very successful. The Robe plan allows the loca lbanks to accept first mortgages on logged-off lands, after a thorough investigation into the prospects of the land, the character of the owner and the value both before and after clearing, and loan money at a low rate of interest on condition that all of the money loaned will go to the improvement of the lands. These mortgages .will be in the nature of bonds, and will be deemed bankable paper and can be transferred as any other security. This hill is patterned along the lines of the European credit system. Tom Murphine, the house Progres sive leader, is chairman of the special committee which is considering these various plans. The general belief is that the Metcalf and Hanson measures will be united.
