STATE FISH AND GAME
REPORT SHOW INCREASE
Nearly 100 Per Cent Gain in Financial
Retuns-EffiCient Management
CurtaiIS Expenses

During the past twenty-one months
the game fund receipts Of the state and
various counties totalled $250,071,
showing an increase of nearly 100 per
cent over the previous twenty-four
months period, according to the bien-
nial report of L. H. Darwin, state fish
commissioner and ex-officio chief game
warden.
The output Of trout from state hatch
cries which, during previous admins
trations had been allowed to drop to
about two million per year, during the
last year was more than trebled, show
ing 100000 trout eggs handled by
state hatcheries. 1t is aimed to make
the increase still greater this year.
During the first year covered by the
report there were o6,350 state and
county fishing and hunting licenses
issued. and 124,901 during the second
year. King county headed the license
list, with Snohomish second. In addi-
ton to the license revenue consider
able contributions were received from
law violators. With 607 arrests the
first year, 4oo convictions were OBJ
tanned, and out Of o70 arrests the sec
ond year there were 1913 convictions.
The designation Of Fish Commis-
sioner Darwin as chief game warden,
to serve without additional salary, saved
the state $500. Mr.. Darwin, in this
report, recommends that counties con-
fine their activities chiefly to game
farms for the breeding of game birds
and animals, leaving the state to pro-
vide the bulk OF the game fish output.
In the last year covered by the re-
port the planting Of 1904, 900 game
fish is shown, while 4523 game birds
and Is elk were liberated. The birds
included 2262 Hungarian partridges,
876 Bob White quail, 682 Chinese
pheasants, smaller numbers of part
ridges, pheasants and quail of other
varieties and an even dozen wild turs
keys. Removal Of portion OF the
Roosevelt: elk on the Olympic penin-
sula farther south, to end present over
crowding which might result in starva-
tion, is recommended. The elk lib
Grated in the western Cascades, it is
noted, were loosed to close 10 civiliza-
tion and still constitute menace to
farmers in the northwestern counties.
The Chinese pheasants, imported at
great expense by the game associa-
tons, are experiencing hard winter,
despite the fact that many ranchers are
doing everything possible to protect
and feed them.

Because they insisted on standing

down when ordered to do so by per-
sons in the rear, two privates OF the
United States Marine Corps, in full

and no official protest by the Marine
Corps authorities will result.

In Regard to Success of Peace
Overtures
RUMAAANS IN WALLACHA CONTINUE TO RETREAT AND FIGHT
ING IS SLACK on OTHER FRONTS
ASSOCIATED Press)

While the Germanic Allies peace
proposals overshadowed other mat
ters today, fighting continued. The
press has commented extensively on
Chancellor Won Bethmann- -Hollweg's
announcement, although handicapped
by lack of definite knowledge of the
terms Germany will propose.
Entente newspapers generally were
pessimistic regarding the probable
success of Germany's overtures.
German writer's stressed the offer
as sign Of strength rather than
weakness.
The only important happenings to-
day occurred on the Rumanian front,
where the Teutons continued their
advance in Eastern Wallachia. Ber-
lin said the Rumanians, who were re-
by Russian cavalry who at
tempted to make stand on the Jab-
lonitza river, had been forced to re-
treat to the northeast. It's supposed
they are falling back on the Buzeu
line near the Moldavian border.
Other fronts were comparatively
quiet.

SUPER-RECKLESsNESs

Railroad managers and railroad
men are not always as careful as they
should be, but they don't like to kill
people any better than anybody else,
and it is beyond dispute that many of
the tragedies at railroad crossings
are due to the carelessness or reck-
lessness of the dear public. The New
York Globe says:
No railroad company has done
more to eliminate the grade crossing
accident than the Long Island. It has
spent many thousands of dollars to
warn the drivers of automobiles
taking chances when little caution
means safety. Yet in spite Of every
thing it seems almost impossible to
save the reckless automobilist from
his own folly.
"Four times this month automo-
biles have disregarded the danger
signals at Franklin avenue, Garden
City ,and run through and broken off
the crossing gates. Three managed
to clear the tracks in safety. One Of
the occupants of the fourth automobile
was killed and the other two seriously
injured.
"An automobilist who will do a
thing of this kind has no right to
drive car. Not only should he be
deprived of his license. but he should
be punished to the limit of the law.
The public is quick to denounce the
railroad that takes no protective
measures at grade crossings"

CALLS FOR CORRECTION

w. A. McRae, commissioner of ag-
riculture, who last year completed and
published very complete report of
the fourth state census, and found
that Florida had population of 921,-
618, expresses surprise at the esti-
mate of the population of 1915 as
sent out by the estinators of the fed
eral bureau of the census, at Wash
ington, in which we are given 1919
less people than is shown by the cen
sus of a year ago. Seeking to correct
this case of injustice to the state, Mr..
McRae has written the following let
ter to Sam L. Rogers, director of the
census:
'In press bulletin just sent out by
your Office, giving estimates of the
population of the state for the fiscal
year 1916, you say that Florida has
904, ,839 inhabitants. The estimate
conflicts with our state census of 1915,
when our enumerators after careful
personal canvass reported a total of
921, ,618 people or 16,779 more than
your estimatofs calculated we had
one year later. Our state enumerators
showed an increase of los, 1899 in five
years over the federal enumeration of
1910, or in round numbers a yearly
increase of a little over $4,000. I
have no reason to think this gain has
not been maintained in which event
our present population should approx
inately be 950,0O0, instead Of the
figures you widely publish"
