ARCHIBALD SAYS HE
WILL ENFORCE LAWS

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Chambers has appointed William Archi-

county. The selection Is popular one.
although Peter Martin takes the credit
OF placing the peoples favorite to the
front for the position.
Archibald is well known in his county.
and is we'll liked, but he says that all
friendship ceases from now on where
people so out and fish and hunt out OF
season. While the game Is practically
new 10 him he has been studying up on
hunting and fishing, chiefly looking up
records on how to track man and beast.
Archibald says that he will break up the
gang" that has been shooting fish dur
Ing the summer months. having already
been supplied with several names OF peu-
pie who would rather shoot than use the
pole and fish line.
