TO CHANGE GAME LAWS
An Effort Will Be Made This
Winter to Have Legis-
lature Do So.

Strong efforts will be made by
sportsmen during the coming ses
sion OF the legislature to brins
about some important changes il
the game laws. e. H. Gilman, who
is one of the most active hunters in
the state, said to the Detroit Free
Fress:
II shall call q meeting OF sports.
men and citizens who may be in
terested, before the session OF the
legislature, in order that CON-
mittee may be appointed to go be-
fore the State Game League at its
coming meeting at Lansing and
present the situation, SO that some.
thing may be done to change the
law.
"The statutes in regard to game
are most arbitrary. They provide
that even during the open season,
when game may be shot, neither
venison nor game birds may be sold
or even given away. II some iu-
valid wanted bit of wild duck or
partridge, it could not be provided
for him without violation OF the
law. Certainly the law ought to be
changed so that game may be sold
during the open season.
''The law permits any man to
shoot three deer during the season,
but he is not allowed to sell the
venison or give it away. Now what
can u man do with three deer car
casses2 He couldn't eat it all him
self if his family had venison three
times day.
Another unjust feature of the
present law is that hunters from
other states are not permitted to
take any of their birds or deer home

iy Review Of Trade last week says:
Milder weather not. only accelerated
the demand for many lines Of mer.
chandise, but relieved the pressure for
fuel, which threatened to become a Sc
rious matter, and incidentally facil
itated efforts to reduce the freight
congestion. With no other retardine
feature than the holiday. business full
ly maintains It's gratifying position
Returns Of both domestic and foreign
trade are fully equal to those Of the
same month last year. and in many
cases there are marked gains. The
people are consuming on scale never
before equaled, as evidenced by the
enormous distribution and continua
inquiries for prompt shipment. Firmly
held quotations also bear testimony
to the fact that the demand is often
greater than the supply.
Business in woolen has fallen OF
Unexpectedly, some early buyers re
ducing the size of their initial orders

have been complete cancellations.

President.
Washington, March 3.-Before the
senate met Monday morning Senators
Turner and Foster called at the White
mouse, taking with them Senator elect
Ankeny. whom they formerly intro
duced to the president. Later they
went to the capitol and Senator Foster
presented the credentials Of Mr..
Ankeny to the senate. That gentle
man will take the oath OF Office at
noon on Thursday. when the extra
session will be convened.
On that day, too. Delaware will be
represented by two senators for the
first time in four years, the Dovsr
legislature having broken the long
deadlock today. Every seat in the up.
per house will have an occupant ON
Thursday, for the first time in six
years.
.Senator-elect Hepburn Of Idaho was
also introduced to the president today.
He. too. will begin his term on Thurs
day.
The bill to repeal the stone and tim.
her act. which includes the PROPOSE
ton to repeal the communication clause
in the homestead act, is dead. This
was the measure Of Quarles of Wis
consin, and its enactment would have
seriously crippled the irrigation fund.
The measure was vigorously opposed
by Pacific states senators and 1t is
principally due to their watchfulness
that the measure was not rushed
through.
The Alaska homestead bill has been
sent to the president for signature.

THE BOY CONFESSED.
Robbed the Posteffiee at Lola. Mon,
tana.

Henry Delaney, II years old, will an
swer In the teaeral court to charge
of robbing the postoffice at Lolo. HE
appeared voluntarily before United
states Commissioner Wallace r. Smith
and confessed the crime. He was plac.
ed under $500 bonds. His father. j.
=. Delaney. furnished the bond. Ii
was the father who compelled the boy
TO confess and surrender.
The postottice at Lolo has been en-
tered several times during the past
year and mail matter tampered with.
In spite OF this the depredations were
continued and paddock was the next
resort. It was impossible. however, to
keep out the unknown criminsl.
Postoftice Inspector Beatty Of Greal
Falls has been working ON the case
and details Of the robberies have been
kept from the public. Early In the
present week Inspector Beatty visited
Lolo and cleaned information that
caused suspicion to rest on young De.
laney. The ofiicial believed that the
boy had at least guilty knowledge OF
the affair and questioned him closely,
but was able to detect nothing to solve
the mystery OF the robbery.
Back Of the above statement OF facts
there Is a story Of rectitude In the
path Of duty rarely eQualed In real life
Young Delaney, after the inspectors
visit, confessed to his father that he
was guilty. Hesitating not an instant,
he at once came to Missoula with HE
son. and before the federal commits.
sioner complained Of the crime. 1t is
probable the crime could never have
been traced otherwise. Mr.. Delaney
extends every tender feeling toward
his son in the lads extremity. but says
nothing could prevent his dischargine
his duty.
The Delaneys have been respected
residents Of this community for many
years, and the fathers action has
brought warmest praise from the in
spector.
