The provisions of the new game
law for Garrett county which was re-
Gently passed by the Legislature will
have a wholesome effect in preserving
the game of Garrett county. The
law prohibits the shipment of game
from this county to any other section
of the State or to points in other
States for period of three years.
Penalties are prescribed for the in
fraction of the law and as a result of
its enactment sportsmen who make
business of killing and shipping game,
such as pheasants, woodcock, rabbits,
etc, for the money that is in il, ;"
will find this source of revenue some
what curtailed. The law does not
contemplate the prohibition of killing
game for local consumption and as
result people of Oakland and the rest
of the county who can i'll afford to
pay rs cents to one dollar for a single
pheasant may have the pleasure of
serving this species of game upon
their tables at much less figure.
