Important Changes Made In the State Game Laws By State Legislature. Adequate protection for the game fish, birds and animals of the state is very near assured in the passage of the Morgan bill. The old game laws were in bad shape. Some had been proved defective, and others unconstitu tional by the courts, and most were very difficult to understand. Te new code is couched in simple language and every precaution is taken to make it valid in every particular. An important change is the one which applies all the money received from licenses to sus taining the work of the depart ment. This will add $12,000 or 15,000 a year to the amount available. As the standing ap propriation is continued at $40,- 000 a year, they can employ more salaried wardens. The gun license feature of the bill was cut out, but the coupon system of licenses was retained. The big game license for resi dents of the state was raised to $1. With it goes five coupons, three for deer, one for moose and one for caribou. The holder of the license can ship the animals with coupons attached to his own county, but nowhere else. Non residents still pay $25 for a big game license, which entitles them to ship two de*er, twenty-five birds and fifty pounds of fish out of the state. They can geta small game license for $10 which will entitle holder to ship the birds and fish. Another important change lim its the number of birds a hunter may have in his possession at one time. He is limited to 100 ducks and fifty birds of other kinds. The open season for quail is made fifteen days later, running from October 15 to December 15. The opeo season for bass begins May 29, to permit fishing on May 30. Spearing of pickerel, suck er, red horse and bullheads for family use and without lights, is permitted from March 15 to April 15. ttlant Colum ACRE lots in Lang's addition $100 $25 cash, balance any old time.
