FISH AND GAME LAWS.
State Protective League Considers
Legislation.

Seattle, Aug. 15.-Representativ
sportsmen from all parts of the state
met in Seattle under the auspices of
the State Game and Fish Protective
Association. For seven hours they
talked game protection, and finally
adopted important resolutions which
will be incorporated in bills to be pre-
sented to the legislature at its next
meeting The meeting declined to
sink the identity of the organization
in the League of American Sportsmen,
believing the present organization
could do better work as an independ-
emit body than as branch organiza-
ton controlled in New York.
Following are the principal points
to be embodied In the new game law
recommendations:
Creation Of state game warden,
who shall also have control of what
are known as game fish. The assocl-
alton recommended H. Ref for game
warden.
One dollar hunters license to be
good in every county in the state.
Do away with deer bounding in West
ern Washington.
License guides $40 and make them
take oath of deputy gamewarden.
License taxidermists 81 and make
them take oath of deputy game war
den. The idea is simply to keep track
of them.
Bounty of 81. so on cougar and tim
Der wolves; 81. so on wildcats, coyotes
and lynx.
Use of explosives in fish streams
felony.
Imprisonment and fine of not less
than 800 for killing elk out OF season
Prohibit use of salt ticks to entice
deer.
All permits for implanting fish must
come through state game warden. ms
is is aimed to keep out the destructive
carp.
The convention thought it wise 10
leave the laws relative to water FOWL
just as they are.
Frank Pontius was reelected presi-
dent and H. Ref secretary and treas
urer of the association.

DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
Said New York is Very Short on
HOusemaids.

HOusemaids.
New York, Aug. l7.-Attaches Of
the immigrants free labor bureau here
estimate that &C, 900 domestic servants
are needed in this city and it is stated
that the demands of hOusekeepers seek
ing help are far in excess of the sup
ply. One of the officials engaged in
securing places for competent servants
said:
Never in the history of the bureau
has there been so great demand. This
despite the fact that throughout the
last four years more women have been
coming to this country than men.
Thousands arrive every week from
Great Britain, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, Holland and Belgium. With
the immigration from Italy, Hungary
and the latin states the reverse is true,
there being more men than women
among the arrivals"
At the various missions where immi-
grant girls are cared for the same story
is told. In one instance it is stated
there are fifty applications Tor every
available servant.

committee of five men went to the
home of George Sheidt during the

him. Before the men had gained en-
trance to the house Sheidt began
shooting at them. The fire was re-
turned by the members of the party

men but failed to locate them. They
took Sheidt to the city Jail, where he
will be held for protection.
Rev. 7. S. Leland, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Victor,
who has been taking an active interest
in the troubles in the district, has
been ordered out of the camp. He

port. Thomas Parafet, ex-manager Of
the Cripple Greek union store, and a
Mr.. Hall, who was ordered out of the
district, have asked protection from
the sheriff. Parafet, was placed in a
room in the county Jail.
The sherif's office is making every
effort to find some clue to the identity
of the deporters of Harper, but no tan
gible evidence has been found as yet.
