| little high, and for a short time there will
be another press. A large number of the

The Railroad Commissioners had sent
odt blanks to all the roads operating in the
State for them to make returns for the year

as required by the Commissioners, would
contain very full and complete information,
and be very valuable in enabling the Board
to perform their duty under the laws.
The game laws of this State are that
prairie chickens can be killed between
September 1 and January 1, and quail only
between November 1 and January 1, but no
native game bird can be shared or trapped
at any time. Migratory birds, such as wild
geese, ducks, brants, ETC., may be killed at
any time they are found. Having dead
birds in possession, except during the first
ten days after the expiration of the time in
which they may be lawfully killed. is
prima-facie evidence of violating the law.
The penalty for each violation is from five
dollars to twenty-five dollars fine, costs of
prosecution, and ten dollars attorneys fees,
aggregating from forty dollars to seventy
five dollars.
