Opening of Sixtieth
Congress.

From Denver Republican:
Washington, Dec "A brilliant scene
characterized the meeting of the six
tieth congress today. In the senate
and house of Representatives there were
notable gatherings in the galleries of
representatives of the official society of
the capital. The coming together for
the first time of the men who have
been elected to the senate and house,
about 100 of whom have not before SER
we'd in congress, made the occasion one
of particular interest.
The striking scenes of the day were
in the house, where the formal selection
of j. G. Cannon again to be speaker of
that body and the designation by the
Democrats of John Sharp Williams As
their leader were occasions for ovations
for those gentlemen. The vast hall of
the house rang with the cheers of Re
publicans and Democrats for their
leaders, and the speaker received as
warm reception from the minority as
he did from his own party.
The appearance of VIM. ]. Bryan
on the floor was the occasion for en-
thusiastic cheering by the Democrats.
When the adoption of rules for the
government of the house during the
sixtieth congress came up, the rules of
the last congress were opposed by John
Sharp Williams and he was joined in
the opposition by Democrats and a
single Republican, Mr.. Cooper of Wis
consin. The old rules were declared to
be too autocratic, placing too much
power in the hands of the speaker, but
after somewhat acrimonious discus
sion they were adopted by party vote.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to inform the president that
congress had met and was ready to re-
ceive any message he might wish to
communicate.
New senators and representatives
were sworn in and both houses adjourn
ed out of respect to the memory of
members who have died during the re-
cess of congress.

To whom 1t may concern.

Hearing of some complaint
among some of the farmers of
this county in regard to the
mountain quail destroying their
garden crop, l wrote to the State
Game and Fish Commissioner if
there was not something he
could do to afford relief in such
cases.
He replied as follows:
"In regard to the mountain
quail, l have no authority to give
any one permit to kill them and
would be violating my official
duty if l should do so and while
l would like to assist these peo-
pie all l can l could not give
them permission to shoot them.
If they are a nuisance and they
want to get rid of some of them
l will issue permit to trap some
of them and have them trans
ported to other parts of the state
where they are glad to get them.
If this is satisfactory and you
can get anyone to trap some Of
them we will give him permit to
do so and pay him for his ser.
