At the meeting of the association Fri
day night there were discussions per-
tanning to the good and welfare of the
game of the state 1t was suggested
that the association ought to take steps
leading up to the legislative protection
OF fsh and game, and a general dis
cussion followed John F. Cowan. q
former Butte resident, now of Salt
Lake, yet, however a property owner
here and a member of the local gun
club, said that his observatio suggest
ed to him the advisa bility of enforcing
more strictly the laws that are already
upon the statutes of this state. "The
laws of Montana" said he "in respect

they are better than those of Utah and
Idaho. l think the proper thing to dc
is for the clubs of the state to urge the
appointment of state warden. The
present system of appointing county
wardens will never bear fruit so long as
the appointments merely tend to satisfy
some personal political ambition A
state warden would be required ITO visit
the several counties in which his spe-
cial deputies should be engaged, and in
this way efficient service could be OBJ

President Schultz favored the sane
tuary plan in vogue in some of the
states. 1t was his belief that if the
state would set aside certain portions
of streams and areas as sacred, forbid.

would be obtained. No action was
taken in the matter.
There was also some discussion of the
matter of holding the Northwest tour
nament in Butte next year.. 1t. was
agreed, however, that Spokane is tn,
proper place in which to hold the tour
naments continually, being centrally 10
