Game Wardens Getting Active In Reno
County.


Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. 24.-The game
law and its enforcement is being close-
" watched by the new deputy game
vvardens for Reno county that have
been recently appointed by Dell Travis,
state fish and game warden of Pratt.
There has been talk that the law about
shooting quails has been violated by
different people at intervals during the
fail Of the year. This is the closed sea
son on ouails and the open season does
not commence until November Is,
lasting a month, or until December Is.
People who are watching things say
that it is believed that quail have been
killed and sold to local men recently.
This is strictly against the law Quail
cannot be sold or bought at any time of
the year. In the open season man
can shoot quail If he has license and
has the right to hunt on a farm, but
he can neither buy nor sell quail at any
time The man who buys is equally
as guilty as the man who sells.
The new deputy wardens are men
who are interested in sport and who
love sport for what there IS in it. They
are not men who believe in the slaugh-
ter of birds just because a man is able
to do so, but believe in seeing that the
game laws are enforced the year round

Forty men are now at work grad

Ledoux will be materially increased in
short time. The dirt has been
broken for the entire six miles of the

cuts, of which there are two. The
first cut, about mile from the city
limits, is the heaviest and 5000 cubic
yards of rock will have to be re-

be established. The second cut near
the mouth Of Tammany creek is not
