WANT TO TAX HUNTERS.
Game Commission After Law That Will
Raise More Revenue.

The State Game ommission is
engaged in preparing a bill, which
will be submitted to the next
Legislature, compelling every
sportsman IN the State to pay a
tax before he is permitted to hunt
The tax will be one dollar, and
will be payable to the county
treasurer who will give it to the
State Game Com mission for ex-
penses. AT present the Legisla-
ture gives the com mission $4,000
and it is expected to pay all ex-
penses out Of that sum. Game
wardens are paid by receiving
half OF the fine imposed on Offend
ers, and as consequence, are un.
der suspicion half the time of
manufacturing cases IN order to
get their money.
One game warden has been
murdered, two shotat, and one is
now in jail at Wilkes Barre for de-
tending himself when foreigner
whom he caught shooting song
birds, resisted arrest.
The bill will provide that no
boy under II years of age shall
be permitted to shoot game, but
any farmers boy from II to 81
may shoot on his own premises
without taking out a license. All
foreigners must pay a license fee
of $40.
1t is estimated ty the commls
sion that one man IN every thirty
is sportsman and goes hunting,
and it is argued that it is unfair
for twenty.nine men to be com
PEELED to pay for the sport of the
one. A tax of one dollar on each
sport will producerevenue enough
to see the com mission through
with giving the wardens half the
fines, for then they could be paid
salaries.

The former accidentally shot the
latter with full charge of SOUR

to foot. DR.. Campbell was phon.
ed, and succeeded III removing
part of them. He counted IN all,
70 shot wounds-most of them so
deep they could not be removed.
The boy is getting along fairly
well. We would say right here,
that boys, or men, who are so
reckless and careless as to shoot
at anything before knowing what
their mark Is, had better stay out
of the woods, or leave their guns
at home. The schoolroom is not
a bad place for such boys, but
they shouldn't take a gun along.

Justice While Sends Charlie Walker to
Jail Seven Days for lndulging in
Profanity.


Charlie Walker (colored) is
spending this week the guest of
the county of Fulton, at Hotel
Alexander, one door north of the
Court House. Last Saturday ev.
enlug, Charlie, who it Is said had
pretty comfortable jag on, was
driving about the town in com
pany of couple of his lady
friends. Passing Reisner's store
at midwest gait, he ran into
Zack Vallance's buggy standing
there, and completely demolished
the vehlcle. This little incident
opened up Charles safety valve,
and for a few minutes he blew off
such column of profanity as
made the air smell of sulphur for
blocks around, and when the
odor reached the olfactory nerves
of Chief Of Police Roettger, he at
once winded his game, md was
soon leading him up the hill.
When Charles was brought into
the presence of the Justice, he
was at once recognized as an old
offender, and was sent to jail for
period of seven days.

OF Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden,

urged SIMPLY that books hereaft-

relics OF a barbarous orthography

urged by our opponents is that
such changes would throw our
orthography and language into
chaos and be confusion wor>e
confounded." Now, if there is
anything on earth, or anywhere
else, more nearly resem bling

spelling, 1t would be interesting
to learn what it is. Let US here

of the child's common sense at
every step Of its progress through
out the mazes of English orthog-
raphy. Examples galore could
here be ad uced if space
could be allowed. The truth is,
in snort, that less than one hun

are spelled. All the rest are ar

down right lying. No one could

HUNTER FOR THE HIGHWAY.
Ride in an Automobile Over a Rough Pike
Results in Skinned Nose.


''If any mem ber of the Legis
Iature will vote a"ainst a bill to
appropriate a sufficient sum to
improve the Pittsburg and Phila.
delphia pike, he has no regard for
his duty and the welfare of the
people living along the highway" "
State Highway Com missioner
Joseph w. Hunter, thus express
ed himself to the motorists at
Ligonier, after making record
run from Bedford Springs IN
George E. Turner's car yester-
day morning. Commissioner
Hunter was gwen a practical
demonstration on wretched roads
aud as memento of the trip, he
will carry back East with him two
strips of court plaster across the
bridge of his nose that cover a
cut caused by a Somerset county
"water breaker" The machine
struck the obstacle and Mr.. Hunt
er was bounced upward until his
head struck the frame of the COW
er.
commissioner Hunter was TAX
en- from Bedford Springs to
Chambersburg yesterday e eien-
ing. Good roads were discussed
and Congressman George f. Huff,
of Greensburg, gave his exper
lence in building four miles of
the pike, and his hurry job at
making a portion of the road east
of Ligonler, possible for the run.
He stated that he had gwen this
old historic pike a great deal of
attention. Asan engineering feat,
he said, it is not surpassed by any
military road IN the world.
Congressman Huff SAID con.
certed action should be taken TO
rehabilltate the road, and, as The
roa d bed has been there for 100
years, it could be done at a reas.
enable prlce.
George e. Turner said that
Pennsylvania can easily afford to
spend 81, 900 a mile on the $50
miles that would have to be i'm
proved and the route would be-
come a favorite run for motor
lists.
Commissioner Hunter was IN
full accord with the views ex-
pressed. Asked what would be
the best method, he said the state
should rebuild it, as under the
present law, many of the interior
townships could not raise suffi-
cient taxes to pay their share of
the cost
Those on the trip are of the
opinion that this run and confer.
ence will bear fruit. Mr. Hunt
er stated that he has heard no op.
position to the project nor against
the Plttsburg and Philadelphia
pike as state highway.
1t is also the opinion of those
coming through yesterday, that
orders will go out to do away with
Somerset and Bedford county
"water breakers. There are
about 80 to the mile, and they are
regarded as DISTINCTIONS to ve-
hicles of all kinds.
After leaving Llgonier, Mr..
Turner's machine was put out of
com mission by a broken spring,
and the car is at the village of
Kingston.
