introduced by Mr.. Wardlaw, and is
held to be by one of those who upheld

anti-saloon territory bill passed two
years ago. Under that enactment suits
have been instituted, one Of which Is
now in the Supreme Court and was
argued last Monday. in dispute over
Its provisions. The law is said to be
vague in its wording, some claiming
that, when any part of city decided
upon an election regarding anti-saloon
territory, the unit should be ward

City and County ConsoIid alton.

The House in committee of the
whole agreed to H. B. No. 2S9, by
Hits, of which the text follows:
In all cases of consolidated city
and county, such as the city and coun-
ty of Denver, the officers of any such
consolidated city and county shall be
such as by appointment or election are
now or may hereafter be provided for
by the charter of such city and county;
and the jurisdiction. term of office, du-
ties and qualifications of such officers
shall be such as in said charter are
now or may hereafter be provided; but
every charter shall designate the Off
GERS who shall, respectively, perform
the acts and duties required of county
Officers to be done by the constitution
or by the general law, as far as appli-
cable"
This is one of the bills that is de-
signed to effectually consolidate the
city and county officers of Denver. An
other provision, almost similar, is con
tained in a bill presented for an
amendment to section 20 of the consti.
tuition.

House Approves Game Bill.

After fighting for the better part of
the fish and game laws, the House
finally adopted the report of the COM
mittee of the whole and approved the
bill on second reading with but few

special game wardenS in the open sea-
son on deer from ten to twenty, and
makes the open season October 1st to
October 10th. 1t establishes fishing
license of 81 per year for non-resi-
dents and makes the open season on
trout May 25th to November goth,
opening five days earlier than at pres
ent
Practically all day was spent by the
house in fighting over the question
whether license should be charged
for fishing. The bill as drawn pro-
vided 81 license for residents of
Colorado and 81 for non-residents
Nearly every member GRATED one way
or the other and in committee of the
whole both licenses were accepted.
When the committee rose, the fight
was waged all over again. Long moved
to strike out the enacting clause. His
motion was lost, however, and finally,
through the efforts of Goodfriend of
Leadville, the resident fishing license
was killed.
