$6677. The number of wolf pup
claims in 1903 was 1,446, worth
$4,694; in 1904, 1877, worth $5,941.
The number of mountain lions killed
has doubled in the last year, the total
for 1903 being 56, against 112 for 1904.
The value of the claims for 1903 was
1892, and for 1904, 1884.
AS to bear, the total for 1903 was
COS, as against 931 for 1904, and the
totals OF the claims were $4,254 and
$6,513 respectively.
A few of the claims filed during

BOUNTY HUNTERS UNUSUALLY
ACTIVE THIS YEAR.
BIC INCREASE is SHOWN
Claims Under New Law Greatly Ex-
ceed Those for Same Period in
Former Years.

When the last legislature reduced
the bounty on coyotes it was believed
that many of those who had been
hunting the animals would cease and
that in consequence the "varmints"
would increase rapidly. This, how
ever, has not been the result, neither
has the hope been realized that by
| the end of the present year the accu-
| mutation of claims of years would be
taken up and the bounty business put
on cash basis. While the bounty
paid has been decreased, the number
OF the animals killed has increased
largely over that OF last year, and
the filings for the present month re-
main to be added to the total of the
years claims.
Something like an aggregate of $751;
must be paid before the claims of the
present year can be reached. The
total of the claims filed for 1903 was
$114,771, whereas the total for IL
months of 1904 is S133,6S0 A great
increase is shown in the number OF
separate certificates, as compared
with the three full years preceding
In 1901 the total was 5,279; in 1902,
5,722; in 1902, 5,196; and for the II
months of 1904 the number has been
6,952 1t is estimated that the total
for the year will exceed that of either
of the years mentioned by no fewer
than 1000.
According to the record kept at the
office of the state board of examiners
during 1908, 29,137 were killed, while
up to December l of the present year
the number was 42,O71, with total
for the two years Of 7l,20S. Last year
Rosebud led all other counties in the
largest total of claims, it's aggregate
being $2O,369. This year Valley leads,
which had, up to November 80, a total
of $2O,078, and is at the head of the
list by about $4,000.

/oN SUBJECT.
GRAFT OF BILL PROPOSED
Butte Anglers Secure Promise Of Sup
port of Silver Bow House
Members.

At the forthcoming session of, the
legislature an effort will be made to
secure legislation for the better pro-
lection of the fish and game of the
state. Sportsmen everywhere are be-
coming interested in the subject and
where they have organizations they
are taking steps to secure the coop
GRAFTON of the legislators of their dis
trict.
At Butte the Montana Anglers club
has it's headquarters. A meeting OF
the association was held last Friday
night, to which the members-elect OF
the house were invited so as to OBJ
tain their views and hear those of the
fishermen. Judge Bickford acted as
spokesman for the club and stated
that the object OF the meeting was to
get law passed to prevent fish going
down into the irrigation bitches. He
spoke of the act of 1897, subsequently
repealed, and thought that a moditica-
| ton of it would be about the proper
thing.
Henry Aware, deputy game warden,
who was present, said Jnat the law OF
| 1897 had practically been useless, for
it provided that screens should be
kept at the heads of bitches from
September i to April l, thus making
| it's provision without value.
A Proposed Bill.
| After considerable discussion the
following bill, prepared by Judge
! Bickford, was accepted as expressing
1.-THE wishes of the club, and Thomas j
Walker, one OF the new house mem
bers from Silver Bow, consented tc
introduce it:
"A bill for an act entitled an act tc

Three demurrers and that many mo-

noon in the case of G. w. Sparr VS.. T.

company, ct al. All are practically
the same and are entered in behalf
of different ones of the defendants.
In the demurrers it is alleged that
not sufficient facts are stated in the
complaint to constitute a cause of ac-
ton; that two alleged causes of ac-
ton are improperly united and that
there is a misjoinder of parties in
that there is an alleged cause of ac-
tion based upon an alleged contract
to which the Donovan-McCo Cormick
company was not a party, and upon
acts alleged to be done by the Dono-

The motions to strike are that GER

Red Lodge, Dec. 18.-It is probable
that the Billings beet sugar PROJECT
will cause additional development Of
industry here. Above Red Lodge is
located an extensive bed of lime rock,
which is burned into fine quality of
lime. Naive rock is used in the manu-
facture of sugar for cleansing pur-
poses. Alderman w. S. Hall took
samples of it to Billings, where Il
has been pronounced suitable for their
purpose by the sugar men, and expects
to contract for some 1000 tons annu-
ally.

Other Suggestions.
Some of those present said that the
ranchers were opposed to screens be-
cause they caused their bitches to be-
come clogged. AS remedy for this
it was suggested that investigation be
made of the merits of the wheel in.
vented by Doctor Henshel of the gov
ernment hatchery at Bozeman, which
it is claimed, can be placed at the
head of ditch and while preventing
fish from going in, still does not in
terfere with the noating matter that
finds it's way into it.
The subject OF a state hatchery was
also discussed and it was voted to
recommend establishment OF such an
Institution. The legislature will also
be asked to amend the present game
law so as to exempt soldiers and Of
GERS doing duty at military posts in
the state from the payment>of non.
resident license. Another amendment
favored was to make the open season
for grouse begin August Is, the same
as for sage hens. In order to further
protect deer the club decided to ask
! the legislature to make the open sea
son for them from September Is te
December 1 and to limit the number
of animals one person may kill t
thre each season.

for more land, they think the people
should make supreme effort to Sc
cure incorporation of their idea and
have the forthcoming bill by Dixon
drawn so as to extinguish the Indian
title to all of the land west of the
river. That this may be done it is
proposed to send a monster petition to
Mr.. Dixon, expressive of the wishes OF
the people of the state.
1t is but just to Mr.. Dixon and the
two senators from Montana to state
that is was through no fault of theirs
the bill passed last winter did not In
clude the strip it is now intended to-
have opened. Now that it appears as.
though an opportunity were at hand
to have the much desired additional
land thrown upon the prevailing opin-
ion is that the present is as good q
time as any to make the fight and
have all of the Crow reservation west
OF the Big Horn made available for
settlement Under a decision of the
United States supreme court it is no
longer necessary to make treaties
with the Indians for REIMBURSEMENT
of any of their lands. The court holds
that they are merely wards of the gov

%As announced in a Washington dis
patch, Congressman Dixon is to intro
duce another bill for the opening Of
more OF the Crow Indian reservation,
this time at the request Of the re-
clamation bureau, which is to have
charge of the construction of the sys-
TEN of irrigation planned for that part
OF the reservation restored by con-
gress last winter.
The announcement seemingly does
not meet with much favor in this par
ticular portion of Montana. The bu-
reau wants only $4,000 acres more OF
| the lands lying between the Big Horn
river and Pryor creek. It is contend
| ed that if pressure is brought to bear
for the REIMBURSEMENT of more of the
reservation, the entire strip lying west
OF the Big Horn should be included in
the proposed measure by Mr.. Dixon.
Many in this section recall the fact
of the wide difference of ,Opinion
which prevailed year or two age
concerning the lines that should mark
the area of the reservation which il
was proposed to restore to the public
domain Those who then favored ces
sion of all the territory west of the
