by Sportsmens Association.
The Monongalia County chapter of
the League OF American Sportsmen has
condensed the Game and Fish law OF
West Virginia and had them printed on
heavy card board. These together
with l.. A. S. posters are being tack
ed up in every post office and country

spicuous places. Two hundred fac
smile copies have been printed on
thin paper for mailing and are being
distributed. Anyone wishing copy
can get it by applying to Elmer 4.

White.
There is now surely no excuse for
Ignorance of our Game and Fish Laws
and everyone who considers himself a
good citizen should help in every pos
sible way to enforce these laws. 1t
has cost the local chapter considerable
money and great deal OF work to
have the laws condensed, printed and
distributed, but this is only part OF
the work it has been doing during
the nine months of its existance.
Among other things it has secured the
appointment of three Deputy State
Game Wardens for this county and is
looking for two more suitable men for
this position-one in Clinton and one
in Grant district.
Attention is called to the principal
changes made in the Game Laws by
the last Legislature as follows: No
person in any one season can kill more
than two deer. Nonresident hunters
license fee was reduced from $25 TO $l5
and the license must be secured from
the State Game Warden Frank Lively
of Hinton w. Va, Instead Of from
county clerks as formerly. Rabbits
and squirrels are protected from Jan.
lst to Sept. 18th.
| In addition to the $40 reward Of
fered by the National.organization Of
the League CT American SpoItsmen,
the Monongalia county chapter offers
$40 for the conviction OF auy one OF

can Sportsmen here and all over the
United States is making successful
effort to perpetuate wild bird and ami
NAL life net only for the acquaintance,
study and enjoyment OF the present
generation but also for just heritage

guessing this morning when it was
announced at the local office that
the branch in the First ward was to
lie built and at the same time set a
surveying crew at work making the
primary steps for the building of the
much talked Of bridge at Catawba.
As the two things are supposed to
do the work that one was originally
planned tor and as both will be an
extra expense to the road, the action
of the company cannot be explained
The First ward branch was original
~ planned as means for the trains
from the Pittsburg branch to get to
town after the bridge at Uztown
which the War Department has
condemned has been torn away. The
bridge at Catawba is another escape
for the Pittsburg trains, as it will
connect with the new Paw Paw
branch The officials here refuse to
talk other than to substantiate the
report That both Will be construct
ed.
1t is reported that q. NJ. Showalter
