Absolute prohibition of the sale @

Absolute prohibition of the sale OF
game in this state is threatened as
consequence OF the refusal of restau-
rants to obey the laws relating to that
subject. The Conservation Commits
sion is engaged in trying to obtain the
cooperation ofthe keepers of restau-
rants in this city and throughout the
state to put an end to the illegal sell,
ing Of game, and it hopes to succeed
by that means. If it tails. the commits.
sion will try to enforce the law against
the violators. but this will be a diff.
cult task because the commission has
not sufficient number of employees to
really enforce the law.
The commission is aware, however,
that here exists throughout the state
& strong and growing sentiment in Ia
vor of legislation that will prohibit the
selling OF game at any season, and it
recognizes that it may be compelled TO
take advantage of this sentiment il
other means fail, and to ask the Leg
islature to pass such law.
The commission believes that under
the existing laws in respect of the sale
of game, the bird life of the state can
be preserved, if the laws are strictly
obeyed. but II the restaurants are to
continue to eyade the law by having
game shipped here in the guise of eggs
and rabbits, the game life of the state
is in serious danger. Therefore, in
the view of the commission, it rests
with the restaurant keepers to deter
mine whether they shall be permitted
to buy and sell game for sixty days
during the year, or not at ALL
Various violations of the law have
come to the attention of the commits
sion recently, and appeals have been
made to the restaurant keepers to CO.
operate with the commission in the en-.
forcement OF the law. If they do so,
no further action will be taken. u
they do not the sentiment in favor Of
entire prohibition will be appealed to
and with such a law the commission
believes it can succeed in Furnishing
all violators.

FUNDS FOR
BRIDGE A
PROBLEM
No Definite Action Taken at Con.
ference Of Commissioners in
Ell Reno Two Finance
Plans Considered

The commissioners of Grady and
Canadian counties are in favor of the
proposed bridge across the Canadian
river, and to connect the two counties,
according to the gist of the statements
made in the joint conference at Ell
Reno yesterday, is the belief of j. A.
Corzine, chairman of the Grady coun-
ty board, who returned last night with
the other commissioners from Ell
Reno.
Mr.. Corzine stated that while there
was nothing definitely accomplished
in he bridge matter yesterday, the
commissioners seem to favor the plan
as outlined, believe that the PROPOSE
tion is a good one and are now striv-
ing to devise means whereby the nee
essary funds may be raised
81 find that the Ell Reno commits
sioners are in favor of the bridge, as
much as the Grady county board
said Mr.. Corzine, "but they have the
same difficulty as we experience here
in deciding how to raise the money.
Some of them favor bond issue, while
others are for direct levy. They are
of the general opinion that a bond is
sue would carry in Canadian county
for the purpose Of raising funds for
the bridge. | don't know whether or
not the bond issue would carry in
Grady county. There is such wide
section of country from which the
people would derive small benefit OF
the bridge that a bond issue might nor
carry.
1--WE have practically decided on the
location of the bridge. When built,
it will be as near the Rock Island
bridge north of Minco as is practical
We told the Canadian county com.
missioners that we would not consider
joint proposition further up the riv
er than that. 1t seems that that poinl
is the best location for a bridge
Soundings have been made there anc
it has been discovered that the shale
bed is about 2S feet below the surface
of the river bed. That's not very deer
| for the Canadian.
"The river as it appears now at that
point does not look like the sams
place of two weeks ago. Part of the
Rock Island steel bridge is now or
dry sand, while the channel of Tn,
river has cut in and for short dis
tance runs parallel with the bridge
and has cut about 270 feet into tn,
south bank of the river.

Will GIVE
CLASS PLAY

Tonight, at the high school audi
torium, the annual senior class play,
"Lost-A Chaperon," will be given,
The piece is said to be delightful
comedy and will doubtless furnish
some keen enjoyment. A large cast
has been working hard for weeks on
the play and the reports are that every
character is not only letter perfect,
but thoroughly familiar with the ac-
tion OF the play.
Judging from past performances,
the play tonight should be big sue
cess from every standpoint. Large
crowds have attended former events
of the C. H. S. seniors and the fact
that the advance sale of tickets has
been good for this years production
is proof that from a financial stand
point the play tonight will be a sue

Washinaton Watching.

by united Press.
Washington, May 6.-The admins
tration is closely watching the
Chinese-Japanese situation.
The rumor that the United States
government is trying to mediate be-
tween the two countries is not con-
firmed. 1t is believed, however, that
the Washington government is endeav-
oring to bring about a peaceful solu-
tion of the points at issue.
Apparently the administration does
not want to take an active hand in
the difficulties that exist between the
two nations. The authorities say the
position of the mikado is that he Is
protecting China's integrity and is not
making unreasonable demands.
The belief is expressed here that
China will give in to the Japanese
eventually. 1t is thought that a split
between northern and southern China
is likely.
