changes In the Game Laws Needed-The
Marksmen's Tournament.


Marksmen's Tournament.
TACOMA. June l4-rSpeclal. Several
radical changes in the existing game laws
are favored By the Northwestern Sports
mems Association. representing Washing
ton, Idaho. Montana and British Column
bia- The amendments have been prepared
BY Col. NJ. X. Smell, and among the most
important are the following:
Absolutely prohibiting the killing of
game OF any kind for hides, horns, antiers,
etc; reducing the deer killing season from
three months TO one, December making
IL mlsdemeanor TO have in ones posses
sion or offer 10 sell any venison except in
December; closing the duck season March
instead OF April L; applying fines col
lected for the violation of the game laws
20 the school district in which the crime
Is committed, instead Of TO the general
school fund.
BY the latter amendment il is proposed
TO increase the interest OF residents Of the
respective school districts IN preventing
violations Of the game laws by enlisting
them in apprehending the criminals and
prosecuting them. The amendments also
provide that sheriffs and their deputies
shall be ex-officio game vardens.
The Victoria team arrived today TO take
part in the tournament at Edison. under
the auspices of the Tacoma Ride, Rod and
Gun Club. The British gunners include
II. A. Mum. B. II. Johns, c. w. Minor,
+. S. Mcclure. Otto. Weller, John Sweitzer,
L. Grigg, w. II. Adams. They were not
in il today after being up all last night.
In fact none of the gunners did anything
remarkable or near the standard except
Joe Warren. who won the Wilkesbarre
hammerless gun with fifteen straight.
This was the principal prize of the day.
