Chairman Brsckett, OF the inland nsh
and game commission, wss seated at his
desk in the quarters OF the department a
ct the Blaine house when he made that

which the new chairman has taken. He
will act on such routine matters - come

lodging responsibility In the least, shall
endeavor to act in conjunction with my
