Shelton needs manufactures of
every class, and since interested
parties are making it's position
known, the attention of capitalists
is being turned this way. With
the great advantage of timber sup
ply, mills of any class would be
paying investments. A party
contemplates starting.a tub, buck
ct and barrel factory here, believ-
ing this to be one Of the best To-
cations on the Sound, where all
The necessary timber can be OBJ
fained in abundance. Shipping
facilities now are good, aud with
the advent of the railroads we will
have the advantage of competin g
routes. There is abundant waite r
front to be had by any enterpris-
ing manufacturers.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
The New Game Law.

1t would appear that each time
the Legislature amends the game
laws they make matters much
worse, or else the conditions are
somewhat different in other parts
of the state. In tie first place,
December is given as the only
month in which deer and other
game can be legally killed. This
is the worst month in the year for
deer, when they are in their poor
est order, and it is fully as iniuri-
GUS to propagation to kill them
then, as at the period the does are
having their tawns. August or
September, or both months, would
be far preferable, for the fawns are
then weaned and able to take care
of themselves. In December, in
case of fall of snow, the deer
and elk are easily tracked by the
Indians, and are slaughtered by
hundreds, mainly for their skins.
Deer are becoming quite scarce in
this vicinity, and the game laws
should be stringent enough to pre-
vent needless slaughter and ex-
termination. The law should per-
NIT the killing Of deer, elk, noun
tain sheep or goats in the months
OF August or September, or both,
but not permit hunters to slaugh-
ter the animals for their hides. 1t
might even be we'll to make it un-
lawful to kill more than enough
for private use, but that might not
please those who sometimes kill
deer and sell what they cannot use,
and might be carrying the matter
too far. AS for the cruel practice
of running deer with dogs, a law
against it would not be necessary,
if the open seasons were placed in
the above months.

A report is receiving much cir
culation to the effect that one of
the State board Of education was
offered $4,000 to move re-consid-
Grafton on the adoption of certain
text books, which offer he exposed
to the board. The dailies appear
to believe that the offered bride is
a reflection upon three of the
members of the board. There is
stringent state law against brib-
cry, and if the facts Justify, those
implicated should be given the full
benefit Of it.

among willow bushes or crossed plains cut
up by ponds. Broad day had come. From
one of these ponds some teal arose. Yegor

of these birds.
An instant after, on the edge of a wood
