MASON CITY. 1a, Aug. 2~.-(special.)-
A project to reclaim something like 5000

under consideration, and II carried through
successfully there the c%ontagion is likely
to spread generally. for the same condition
prevails in most counties OF the middle

crooked stream. An engineer has been
there to look over the situation and his re-
port Is most favorable. About sixty section
of land would be affected.
From the north and south boundary OF
the county there is a fall of about seventy
five feet, accorAn ing to the geological sur
vey. The river has e total length In the
county OF 52.25 miles. The proposed inn
provement would reduce this one-half. or.
to be accurate, 26.5 miles. This wou give
the fall to the proposed new riverbed
of about three feet per mile, and this
would give abundant water power and a
splendid opportunity for Irrigation should
ever occasion demand.
A rough estimate has been secured 81
to the cost and the figure has been placed
at SOS ,OOO. This would mean a tax
Of $50 per acre on the land redeemed and
$3.50 on the land otherwise benefited, and Il
is figured that one good crop would pay

Game Bill Threshed over.

lhat all the ranchmen on the West
ern Slope from Tennessee Pass to the
White river flagrantly violate the
game laws by killing deer in the closed
season was charged by Representative
Blakey in the House yesterday during
consideration of the Dunn fish and
game bill. says the Denver News
Thursday morning. The game wardens
winked at violations. he said. and stood
In with the ranchers.
lie wanted game law in the inter-
ests OF the poor man. He urged that
the open season be in the latter part of
October, when the deer come down
within easy reach Blakey objected to
a proposal to open the season in Sep
TENDER because then the deer are so
nigh up that they are difficult to find.
Later they come down and are killed
anyway. he said, by the men living in
the deer country, no matter what the
law is. If the season was open in the
latter part of October, no matter how
short, it would give the poor man a
chance to take little trip and get a
deer. But with the open season in Sep
TENDER only the rich man could spare
the time.
Efforts were made to prevent the
killing of deer until 1914. but finally a
section was approved making the open
season from September 18th to Septeni-
Der 30th.
The game bill took up practically the
whole day, every section being vigor-
ously debated
Several women have been lobbying
faithfully for this bill. striving to pre-
vent killing deer and doves. but most
of the amendments favored by them
met with defeat.
The committee of the whole APP
proved the sections protecting noun.
tain sheep until 1924 antelope until
1912. elk until 1924 and pheasants until
1914. The bill permits shooting prairie
chickens from October to October 20,
sage chickens, mountain and willow
grouse from September 10 to October
10 and doves from August 20 to Sep
TENDER 3.
The dove question was much fought
over. Carver wanted them protected
all the year around. But Bell and 9th
ers declared that the doves destroyed
thousands of bushels of grain each
year and urged that an open season
was needed for the protection of the
farmers.
Weiser offered an amendment re.
stricting the powers of special game
wardens to the enforcement of the
game laws. 1t was charged that in var
ious mining camps game wardens were
brought in and by virtue of their depu-
