bursting OF the hose greatly delayed
the work OF the hremen.
Mayor Armstrong today asserted
that he would see that the probing
was OF the most thorough nature.
and that the investigation is con.

CHANGES PLANNED
IN HUNTING LAWS
Senator Gillette has Bill Which will
Be Of Interest TO Local
Sportsmen.

Reokuk hunters will be Interested
IN the following from Des Mo.nes
which outlines the Gillette bill which
will provide certain changes in the
game laws. II passed:
Senator Gillette Of Cherokee county
today fled in the senate a bill to
make number OF important changes
in the state game laws. He has aban-
dozed his idea of preparing measure
to abolish the Office OF state game
warden and create game commits
sion to enforce the game laws.
The proposed law would provide a
closed s.eason on ducks. geese and
brant from April to September and
from December / TO March 10. At
present the closed season is from
April Is TO September !. Gillette fay-
ors permitting spring shooting for a
period OF twenty-five days However,
he asserts that II the federal migra-
tory bird law is upheld by the United
States supreme court, II will then be
necessary for Iowa to amend its game
law to conform with the ruling. Until
sportsmen a limited time to shoot
that time. he would give the Iowa
ducks IN the spring.
The senator proposes 4 closed sea-
sou on quail until Nov. /, 1917, and
to extend the closed season on pleas
ants TO Nov. j, 1917. There Is no
closed season on quail at present.
The bin win provide for an open
season on prairie chickens from Oct.
/ to Jan. L. The open season now
begins Sept and closes Dec. ].
Wood ducks will be taken out of
the wild duck class. II the measure
becomes a law. Piover, sandpiper
and marsh birds viii be given protec-
ton by itE provisions. Persons who
wish TO raise pheasants and quail In
enclosures viii be given the privilege
OF doing IT.
