A PLAN is being taken up by the

dams at the lakes of sufficient
strength and height to impound
water enough to supply the kitti-

city of Seattle is beginning to real.

towns that helps it, and no town III

THE judgment of publicity writ
ers, so it is said, and generally con-
coded to be correct, that booster
neutrality-suspicious. at a great
expense and mailed out also at con-
siderable cost, are too common and
fall far short of being profitable to
the city or commercial body send
ing them out-not producing the
desired results. The opinion pre-
walls quite generally that it is far
better to send newspapers for one,
two or three months to each party
writing for information and have
the facts concerning the CITY or
county published in such papers.
Some towns on the Coast pay the
local papers $50 per month to pub
lish such matter and the regular
subscription price Of paper to each
inquirer for a period Of three
months. This gives the desired
information and also gives the
reader a much better idea of the
community, town or county as the
paper gives general matter that can
not be incorporated in booster"
books. We commend the idea to
the Chamber of Commerce of this
city ond believe that body would
do we'll to investigate the merits of
the suggestion. The Chamber has
paid hundreds of dollars for boost
er" books that cannot produce de-
sired results being no credit to the
Chamber or city-and properly
speaking ought to be reduced to
ashes and the sooner the better.
Had the same matter been publish
ed in the papers of the city and
mailed ou:, they would have pro-
duced ten times as much good at
one-fourth the expense.

Game Warden on New Law.

Minot-Game Warden Stenvick has
the following to say on the new game
boards view Of the spring shooting
law, passed by the last legislatures:
"The. law, I consider, is fualty in
several particulars. It gives a fellow
an excuse to go out in the spring with
his dog and gun and, as we all know.
temptation to kill ducks will be great
As regards that part Of the law which
prohibits the shooting Of geese at any
season of the year, within half a mile
Of permanent water, think that nom
sensical. A well may be considered
permanent water, and besides it was
not the intent Of the law to impose
that restriction on the hunters in the
fall, but in some manner it was over
looked. The board will have to desig-
nate three or four lakes in the state
as permanent waters, and allow the
shooting of geese in the fall at all
others. This will give the sportsmen
a chance"
