TO REFERENDUM GAME LAW.

Backed by two of the largest whole
sale ammunition dealers in the North
west. a movement has been started
in Watertown to referendum the new
state game law. The possibility OF
the prospective loss of thirty cents
profit on the shells that might be
used to slaughter the prairie chick
ems in this state for the next two
years, has ~invigorated the alert man.
ayers Of these great concerns and the
respectable sportsmen Of South Da.
kota are now face to face with the
prospect of having their efforts of
years rendered ineffective for at least
two years through the selfish machin-
ations Of these two great companies.
1t is fortunate that the move
ment should be started In WATERFOWL.
This city's reputation for respect of
the game Law has been none too good
in the past. The fact, rnblushingly

of Scenic, about forty miles east of
Rapid City. This suit in 4 measure
was a test suit, for there are thou
sands of dollars of claims for similar
damages against the Chicago, Milwau
kee & St. Paul Railroad company, and
the Pierre, Rapid City & Northwest
ern Railway company in western South
Dakota. Judge Niece held that the
double damage law passed BY the 1907
Legislature was not applicable in case
of this kind and is probably unconst,
tutional and void. He held that the
prior fence law is still 4 law in this
state and that railroad companies car
not be compelled to fence their right
of way only after sixty days notice
has been given by the land owner
that three sides OF his land is already
fenced.
The case has still another bearing
in Pennington county, where an open
range still EXISTS, for if the railroad
companies were to fence their right
of way the cattle range would be
divided.

admitted, that more game has been
shipped out Of this city tlan out OF
any other city in the state, has not
served to elevate the sportsmen OF
this city in the good graces of the best
sportsmen in other sections OF the
state. The latest effort TO defeat the
will OF the sportsmen of South Da-
kota will not rebound to the glory of
Watertown from the sportsman's
point of view.
A referendum petition has been
drawn up, and a thousand or more
copies have been printed. 1t is pro-
posed TO send copies of this petition
ali over the state. To bring the bill
up for q popular vote, and render it
useless for tie next two years re-
ouires but five per cent of the voters
signatures.
For the good OF Watertown, its
good name among the sportsmen as
they are different from the game
hog and the pot hunter, from the law
defler who slaughters and ships, it is
the hope OF the law abiding sports
men of this city that the petitions will
be scantiiy signed.
Blocking this law means that those
who for years have found their keen
est pleasure in chicken shooting are
unwilling that the coming generation
should have just a taste of this, the
best Of outdoor sports. 1t is the
personification of selfishness, as we'll
as the actual outburst Of greed that
sees in the operation of the new law
the loss Of & paltry profit. and the
end Of the golden opportunity to keep
the rich Of the cities eating South
Dakota game at attractive prices. In
short the referendum means an at
tempt to continue the old law and
the old regime for two years with all
its attendant disregard of laws or the
rights of the sportsmen of the future
years.-Public Opinion.

Prospects for Paducah getting a
large foundry and machine shops
this fall seem favorable and a repre-.
sentative of a large industry In the
south will arrive here about the mid
die OF next month to look over the
city in view of locating.
This encouraging news came in q

shops at some point on the Ohio
river. more desirably at Paducah.
The object is TO be In close touch
with the mines of Southern Illinois
and West Kentucky, as intimated in
the letter. The firm manufactures
high-class mining machinery and
their large shops would give employ
ment to between 1875 and $50 skilled
mechanics and laborers.
In the communication II was stated
that either a member of the company
or some representative would arrive
