IN GAME LAWS From all over the state conies de mands for changes in the Idaho game law so as to permit individuals or associations to propagate fowls and fish. Several Idaho newspapers have taken up the case for the public, pointing out that there should be no legal prohibition placed on the indi vidual or an association raising fowi and fish on their or Us own property the same as they can raise chickens. These editors interference whatever with the prerogatives of the sportsman. In fact, the avenues for replenishing wild game life are increased, they declare. The issue was raised in the case of the Idaho Game Breeders' Asso ciation. The state game warden per mitted the association to engage fur raising but refused to grant a mit for game birds and fish. While this does not interfere with the prime objects of the association it might rob it of one of its features as to its Hagerman valley farm, wher it had been planned to place wild, see no per birds and water fowl as an attraction for visitors. -— ; WOMEN'S AUXILIARY UNIT NO. 1 f _ !
