There promises to be no revision of the
laws on fish and game. The senate de-
voted an hour to ridiculing a bill on this
chapter of the statutes and ended by de-
feating it, to "a.
Among other things in the bill that met
the objection of the senators, was the
provision of an annual salary of $500 for
game and fish warden. Then the warden

provision came in for round of good

fined for splitting on the bait.
In vain Senators Dowell and Wilson tried
to overcome this style of argument. The
bill was laughed to death.
