tion bearing upon wild game and game
fish and the propogation and protec
tion of tlie same; by the fostering of
and co-operation with the different
sportsmen's clubs throughout the
state.

The following permanent officers
were elected: Judge Roy E. Ayers.
Lewistown, president; L. D. Blodgett,
Lewistown, secretary and treasurer;
Mark Ezekiel, Butte; T. N. Marlowe,
Missoula; Ben Cummings, Great Falls;
\V. K. Moore., Billings; Lou Lucke,
Havre; George Landstrum, Helena;

ami Lee Coleman, Glasgow, vice presi
dents.
Many Addresses.
Following this many addresses were
made in which the work accomplished
by the game warden's department re
ceived special attention. Mr. Eze
kiels made a particularly interesting
talk along this line. He showed that
the department paid for itself, with
margin, in the fine collected from
men arrested by the wardens for vio
lations of the game laws. It pro
vided funds for two fine fish hatcher
ies, amounting to some $60,000; had
bought a fish car, costing some $6,000,
and had' bought the fish boat, used
on Flathead lake. Attention should
be given to these facts and the tax
payers generally should be educated
so that they would understand that
the game warden's department did
not cost the taxpayers a penny In
taxes.
David Hilger told of the time when
he came to the Judith basin. He
found the buffalo, elk, deer and other
game in great abundance. There was
no protection and it was almost
wiped out. What was left had beer,
saved by tlie game laws and the work
of the warden's department. R. von
Tobel pointed out that whereas it
was possible to stock the streams
with fisli at small cost, once the game
was gone it was almost impossible
to replace it. The deputy game war
dens, with all the vast stretches of
territory under their jurisdiction, had
collected some $6,000 in fines lor
violations of the law. How quickly
what game there was would pass
away if there were no wardens.
Numerous speakers showed that,
however much the sheriffs might wish
to do the work now being performed
by tlie wardens, they could not do it
because it was all they could possibly
do to perform tlie duties at present
required of them with the deputies
allowed by law and even with special
help employed, because of extreme
urgency.
Speaker after speaker arose to ex
press his belief in the absolute nec
essity for maintaining the warden's
department upon the basis of its pres
ent efficiency, with an increase in
the number of deputies should that
become necessary. The sentiment of
the convention appeared to be strong
ly in favor of segregating the fishing
and hunting licenses, making each $1,
say, but tills point was not definitely
passed up.
N.ext Meeting.
The place for the next meeting was
left for the president to decide upon,
and lie indicated that it would be
Anaconda during the session of the
State Sportsmen's association. Frank
Clinton, on behalf of Anaconda, ex
tended an invitation to hold the meet
mg there.
On Resolutions.
Judge Ayers appointed R. von Tobel,
David Hilger and C. J. Marshall as
members of the committee on resolu
tions, and this committee will report
its findings to the president and sec
retary and upon their approval the
report will be widely circulated.
Legislative Committee.
Following the adjournment, Judge
Ayers appointed as the legislative
rommittee Thomas N. Marlowe, of
Missoula, and Dan Kelly, of Butte, and
Frank Rainey of Glendive. The pres
ident and secretary are ex-officio mem
bers' of this committee.
Mr. Shoemaker of Helena ofered a
special resolution, extending the!
Utanks of the association to the Lew
istown sportsmen for the courtesies
shown, this being adopted by the
unanimous vote of all the visiting dele
gates.
The convention then adjourned.

THE GOOD JUDGE APPROVES OF

it AIHT TOOTHACHE.
G IVE a man a chance—whether he is on the force
or a private citizen. It's the satisfaction, the good
tobacco taste that wins him over to W-B GUT chewing.
There are othsr things that help:—the gentlemanly
appearance that the little chew permits; the easing up
on so much grinding and spitting; last and not least, the
economy—but it's the tobacco satisfaction that turns the
. trick every time.
