COMMISSION MEETS
President Taft Presiding at
Session in the Senate Office
Building.

The Lincoln Memorial Commission, Is
In session at the Senate Office Building,
with former President Taft presiding.
Before adjournment the commission
will have signed the contracts with the
George A. Fuller Construction Com
pany, and the NJ. F. Conner Company,
for the erection Of the 100000 me-
mortal to the martyr president.
The commission also is expected to
designate Col. W. W. Harts, to super
wise the work. Selection of a date for
breaking ground for the memorial is
another matter Of Importance to be
settled by the board. II Is probable
February Il, anniversary of Lincoln
birthday. may be decided upon.
Secretary OF War Garrison was pres
ent. Former senator Blackburn, who
succeeded the late Senator CulIom as
resident commissioner, also was pres
EN-.
The delay in the signing Of the con-
tracts was brought about by conflicting
paragraphs of the bill approprfatiug for
the memorial. One paragraph stated
the memorial should be built under the
direction of the commission, while an
other said the work should be under a
joint officer to direct and supervise the
work for both interests should be
named to prevent future conflict
Thus far the name of Col. W. W.
Harts, superintendent OF public build
ings and grounds, and executive officer
Of the commission, is the only man
mentioned as supervising officer. II It is
Thursday. Lincoln's birthday, II has
been suggested that April Is, the ami
versary of Lincoln's death would be .
suitable date for the ceremony.

Hunting Season Closes

Of the hunting season just closed
it may be sail that providence
combined with minor authority in
the protection of game, the twelve
days of dry leaves and cracking
twigs winding up with wet Sunday
and u wetter Monday. Those who
ventured out on Monday either re-
turned forthwith or got a good
drenching in the all-day drlzzle
and wet timber.
In spite of adverse weather con-
ditions and the failure of any one
to score big or make a notable re-
cord, there was lots of hunting
done and not a few got real sport
out of it.
Perhaps the campaign against
the turks proved more nearly a TALL
ure than any other feature OF the
open season, for. IN spite of the
claim that they were more or less
abundant, but few were killed, at
least by Monterey gunner and
theses operating from this base
John Gillespie, the timer, succeed
ed in bagging two in one evening,
and says he could have gotten
more if he had thought about
shooting oftener.
Almost every fellow who went
to the woods succeeded in bringing
in more or less small game -pheas-
ants, cartridges, rabbits and SPUR
rels.
Sheriff Graham joined some
Bathites in a deer chase in Little
Valley and was lucky enough to
kill two. Mr.. Graham, and others
who were in position to- find out,
report deer in considerable num-
bers along the Bath Highland line.
Clifton Samples, while hunting
:or turkeys on what is known To-
:ally as Rexrode ridge, a spur OF
Jack mountain, ran across a small
bear, and while armed for small
game only. he "peppered" Young
)ruin, until he gave up the strug-
gle. The bear was two-year-old
out poor, only weighing 100
pounds, and is the first one. large
3r small, killed in this section for
many years.
