! An inquiry regarding the guides in
Washington county and the effect of
Il nonresident hunting license law
upon their business brings out the in
formation that the returns at the fish
and game department show that in 1902
there We're 70 guides in that county
who guided 2GS1 days. guiding 32S nom
residents, While for the season of 1863
i there were SS guides who guided 3iiS
days, guiding 40 non-residents. In
! 1902 there were 20 licensed guides in the
county who failed to report and thus
far there are co who have failed to re-
/ port for 1868. From these figures it is
: seen that there has been an increase in
the number of guides and of nom
residents guided during 1903 in that
county. over that of 1902, and as the
number of guides who have not yet re-
ported are double this year over that of
! last year, there must have been a great
!
also been reported. 1t argues much in
favor of the license and proves that it
has not deferred non-residents from
I. taking advantage of the good hunting
for which Washington county is
famous. Game of all kinds was never
so plentiful as during the season Just
past. The game is well protected i'll
that county by a good force of
, Wardens.

Louis Il. GoOdall, chairman of the

Exposition writes Governor Hill that

ing loaded on the cars and VIII be

Colonel Stevens. superintendent of
public buildings thought that fate was
indeed pursuing him when he read that
4 couch for the Capitol had been
l smashed in the freight wreck at

it was one of the mahogany, leather
