THOUSANDS
OF QUAIL
GAME WARDEN SAYS IN EIUHTY
SEVEN THOUSAND WHICH WERE
CONFISCATED,
LESS THAN 8,000 KILLED
He Also Calls the Attention of he
Legislators to the Necessity of
Stringent Game Laws If State
Would Preserve Game.
Outhrle, Okla IVb. 0. "Oklahoma
has more birds, game and other valu
able birds than three-fourths of the
states In the union, and she will al
ways have If she acts wlRoly and pro
tects them now.
"Hear In mind that the only way to
keep tho game anil valuable birds now
In the state Is to protect them by
statutory law."
Here Is a significant paragraph
from State CJaine Warden J. S. As-
I taw's report to which tbo attention
I of every member of tho leglflature
has bee called, Speaking of the S7,-
000 stolen quail which he captured
from freebooters, be says: "Uikiii "ex
amination wo find that of the S7.000
quail confiscated less than S.OOu' of
this amount were shot, and SO.OOO
were netted or caught In some way
other than by a gun."
Add to the S7.00O which was con
fiscated, the 87,000 stolen which be de
clares he 'was unable to capture on
account of the Inefficiency of the law
and the result Is 171.000 quail stolen
from the state In the short space of
forty-five days last season.
Mr. Askew sayp: "Owing to tho
fact that all the states bordering on
Oklahoma have stringent protection
taws for game and birds, hunters
from those states come lu thousands
to Oklahoma to trap, net, shoot and
carry away the blids and game, thus
robbing the state of Its legitimate In
heritance. "More than thirty-five states have
adopted the "Model law" for the pro
tection of their game and birds and lu
every Instance It has proved success
ful. The- law classes the game hlrds
by groups, and declares all other
birds non-game hlrds, such as Kngllsh
sparrows,' certain niembors of tho
hawk family, etc.
"There are between 1.150 and l.L'OO
species nnd sub-species of wild birds
In .North America north of the repub
lic of Mexico, of whlc IS per cent are
strictly game birds. From this It will
be seen that It Is practically Impos
sible to cover and protect the non
game birds by name but quite possi
ble to name the game birds lu any
law. and then with one sweeping
clause, place all others on the nou-
game list; and protect them."
Mr. Askew would have enacted thu
state game association bill now before
t'lie house and save thu birds and
game of Oktahomii.
Ho says In regard to the Insuffic
iency of the present law It Is practi
cally Impossible to hold the game
force togetheivas there Is no way the
warden can 'pay the deputies.
Tho game and bird bill prepared by
Judge S. If. Harris and tho state game
association Is endorsed by the state
Audnboii society and lias been care
fully examined and approved .hy many
of tho ablest lawyers in the state.

State Insurance Department.
Citlthile, Okla., Feb. As a source
ot revenue to lite stato and protec
tion to the people, the statu Insur
ance department hag taken a rank
much higher than was anticipated
when the office was Inaugurated with
statehood.
Wildcat companies hay been driv
en from Oklahoma. Unsafe Institutions
have been exposed and the search
light thrown upon every kind of In
surance company doing business in
tho state.
Hi fore the legislature now lu a
comprehensive bill by Senator Rod
die, which Incorporates many of tho
Ideas of State Insurance Conimlh
sloner T. J. McCoinb. Tho bill has
already passed the senato and Is now
pending before tho house committee.
Commissioner McComb is strongly
urging a resident agent's law. On
this subject he says:
"If there Is one thing we need lu
this state in the way of Insurance
legislation, It Is certainly a stringent
resident agents' law. Companies
come Into this state, meet the re
quirements us to capital, pay their
losses promptly aud appoint their
ngeuts and pay the fee of threo
dollars for each license, as required
by the constitution, anil the local
agent, armed -w It It his commission
from his company and his license
from the state Insurance commission
er, Is equipped In a legal way for
business. He lives lu the state, obeys
Its laws yet wakes up to tho fact
after awhile that ho Is being robbed
out of that which Justly belongs to
him, a law-abiding business man, by
Home unn-resldent agent or by a wild
cat company. The people of tho stato
should require the agont to display
his license before giving him any
buslnesti. This Is protection. I'nless
the public assists this department w o
will bo powerless to prevent some
wildcat concerns from captuting vic
tims." Foley's Honey nnd Tar clears the
air passages, stops tho Irritation In
the throat, soothes tho Inflamed mem
branes, nnd tho most obstinate cough
disappears, Sara and inflamed lungs
are healed and strengthened, and the
cold Is expelled from tho system. Tic-

burg railroad ami financial circles
tho news has crept out that George
.1. tiould, sou of .lay (mild, has de
cided to quit the railroad business
entirely just us soon as he can get
out. It Is ritild t lint he promised!

which have heen plunged Into finan
cial straits, It Is reportel. by mis
management on tho part of the
Goulds. Within the lost week Harrl J
mini, not Gould, lias started a move
to combine the llaltlmore & Ohio

Until Whitney and others to the j
Gould camp tire being- told That the'
Wabash entrance into Pittsburg cost:
"0 million dollars Is known ami that
It has for some years been practical-1
ly a dead Hue also Is known.
AVheti President Ramsey of tho
Wabash had his lino Into Pittsburg
almost finished ho Oeslred to let nil
largo contracts possible to firms
which could give his line freight
when completed. He nrranged to let
contracts to Jones & I-nughlln for
steel and equipment. It appears, how
ever, that Mr. iGoitld objected to this
and let the contracts to outside
firms, from which tho Wmbash could,
not hopp to derive benefits. This
brought nlKitil a row. Locomotives
were wanted and 1,000 enrs wero
needed, but Gould Is snld by Pitts
burg people to have told Ramsey
that he would not place orders at that
lime and asked Ramsey to take a
much needed vacation. When Presi
dent Ramsey returned he found that
Gould had placed an order for cars
and locomotives at a point Ramsey
dlil not consider advantageous.
"Can't I spend my money as I
choose." Gould sali when Itnmsey
had durst lu on him for his
'meddling Interference "
"Not as long as I'm presldont of
the Wabash ralltoad." said Ramsey,
ns ho tendered his resignation,
which, however, was not accepted.
Then followed tho memorable fight
between Ramsey and Gould for con
trol of tho Wabash. It Is known now
that those back of Ramsey woro
John I). Rockefeller and tJlllnm
Whitney. Gould outvoted Ramsey for
the presidency. The Rockefeller and
Whitney interests withdrew from tho
flell to await developments, hut
when Gould sent up his roo'nt cry
for help, Ilarrlman was the first
on the ground.
