More Money For Counties

Deadwood-An effort will be made
by local sportsmen to have the
next legislature amend the law on
hunting licenses so that counties
may reap more benefit. Under the
present law of 81 licenses for residents
of the state, the state gets half the
amount taken in by the county treas
urers and this leaves the counties not
enough TO pay the game wardens their
salaries. 1t is proposed to have the
state take one-third of the fees col
lected, the county getting the rest.

GAN "AuLD ACQUAINTANCE BE
 FoRGOT?'

It was the editors pleasure, Tuesday, to meet an old and valued friend here, the Rev, Dr. Walter, then enroute for Greenock Inn, Lee, Mass, accompanied by his most estimabIe wife, where they will spend portion of an eight weeks vacation.
 Dr. Walter is pastor of the Simpson M. E. church, Brooklyn, N. Y., and is one of the ablest divines in the New York East Conference. He was at one time pastor of Washington Park M. E. church, Bridgeport, and later filled a pastorate at Waterbury Since then he has been abroad and the years have been ysars of strong development.
 His Syracuse alma mater has lately conferred upon him a D. D. degree and he wears his laurels with becoming dig nity. The editor of the NEWS recalls with pleasure his early acquaintance with Dr. Walter, then a country parson of sterling qualities, with promise of the richer development which later years ripened to fuller sruition.
 It was at Huntington, L. l., during the season of my lecture course work and the Rev MT .Walter-he had not then won his D. D. though it was then proph- ecied-was one of my executive com mittee, and the zeal with which he then planned the success of my work there, showed the superb executive force that in later years made hischurch work such a pronounced success when he was called into larger and wider fields of usefulness.
 When Brooklyn secured the Rev pr Walter, it won prize and Connecticut lost one of it's ablest disines and preacher of rare gift and power.
