LICENSE SALE NOT LARGE.
Pheasant Season Brings Much Busi
ness to Clerks Office.

Though they estimate that the sale
of hunting licenses is less this year
than heretofore, the county clerk and
his deputies, are enjoying a special
rush season in this line Just at pres
ent. due to the opening of the pleas
ant season this morning. Since the
first of September $50 licenses have
been sent to sales agents at lndepen-
dence. Not all of these have been
disposed of, but it is considered that
all will be before the pheasant season
has progressed very far. The other
towns of the county have sent orders
for license books. and Monmouth Air
lie. Perrydale, Ballston, Falls City
and other places have secured allot-
ments, In Dallas especially has the
sale of licenses been less than in prev
ious years. Stubs in the county clerk s
office indicate the sale, up to noon
yesterday, and since September /, of
1SS licenses. At 81 each the sale of
these brings a good revenue into the
state fund. Either the prospects for
pheasant hunting are not very rosy or
there are too many other things to at
tract the attention of sportsmen.
