WILD CHICKENS ARE SCARCE.
Reports From Ellis County Are That
Game Bird Has Practically Gone.

Arnett,-The open season for prairie
chicken in Oklahoma is from Septem
Der | to November l and many in
quiries have been received here in re
gard to the prospects for the sports
men in Ellis county, which has fol-
several years been about the only
place where the birds could be found
in any great numbers.
Prairie chickens are very scarce
in Ellis county this year. Inquiry
made among the farmers in the south.
east part of the county is very dis.
couraging to the chicken hunter.
There are very few chickens in the
sand hills this year, due largely, it is
claimed. to the late prairie fires last
spring, which swept over that part of
the county during the nesting season.
Several years ago these sand hills
were literally alive with prairie
chickens and old hunters say that it
was no uncommon occurrence for
them to go cunning for a couple Of
hours In the afternoon and return
with all the chickens they wanted
The prairie chicken has drifted on
west. They commenced leaving this
country when the settlers came in
and their passing in this county virtu-
ally means their passing in Oklahoma.

TEXANS ARE DRY;
 SALOONS CLOSE
Many Counties Are Dry and State Law Prevents Liquor Being
 Taken Into Dry Sections.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 18.-The laws recently. passed by the state legisla' ture preventing the shipment of Ii. quors into or through dry territory went into effect at 9:30 last night. Many of those who like their nip stocked up with enough to last few months. The state law also provides that all saloons in Texas must be closed at 9:30 at night in order that the men may go kome and sleep in stead of remaining out until twelve or later, as some of them have been known to do here tofore
 The prohibition movement is rap. idly spreading in this state in spite of all the efforts of the saloon men, the breweries and distilleries. It is predicted that all the counties in the state will be dry within five years except the larger cities, and that even there the number of saloons will be greatly reduced by law and regulated very strictly, so as to prevent the sale of liquor to minors or habitual drunk ards or those under the influence of liquor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Con- gressman Gordon. of Cleveland, has requested Pr sident Wilson to order an investigation into the failure of the weather bureau to predict the storm which swept across the Great Lakes last W elk, wrecking some of the finest vessels on the inland wa ters and causing the loss of more than three hundred lives.
 The congressman informed the president that the lakemen always remain in port when bad storms are predicted and that having heard no thing of an approaching storm they left port, many of them never to re- turn.
 President Wilson immediately sent a copy of the letter to the head of the weather department with instruc- tions to investigate and report, and the weather forecasters will be plac- ed upon the carpet and called upon to explain how they allowed the big storm to get past them.

FIGURES SUBMITTED

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 18.--The gov ernment commission appointed sever al years ago to investigate the fea- sibility. probable cost, and other mat ters relating to the proposition of retaining the land at present GOV cred by the Zuiderzee, large body of water connected with the sea and covering about 100000 hectares, has just submitted an interesting and voluminous report, thoroughly GOV ering every phase and detail of the stupendous plan. It appears that the fisheries in the waters of the Zuid- erzee, once famous for the enormous quantities of herring and other salt water fish caught there, have not been very profitable in recent years. It is estimated that the total value of the fish caught in the Zuiderzee does no, now exceed 2,000,0OO fiorins a year, while by the cultivation of the reclaimed land now covered by salt water 70.0OO,OOO florins a year could he realized The commission estimates that the cost of the work. including indemnittes: etc, would not exceed 1S9,0O0,OOO fiorins, and that the work could be completed in about thirty years.
