ROUAULT ON THE GAME LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO

uibuted at the meeting OF the game
and fish commissioners at st. Paul.
I certainly cannot be held reSpor-
sibie for the game laws as they stand
on the statute books today. II is IN
fortunate that through the oversight
OF some Of our legislators the license
TO fish for trout was overlooked as
wei as the high license fee ln ny
opinion OF s. for non-residents to
FISH for game fish in New Mexico
and may state again that at the next
session OF the legislature the depart
ment OF game and fish and the New
Mexico Game Protective association
propose 70 make certain recommen-
dations in order 10 change n number
OF Objectionable features now iucor-
porated in the game laws Of this
state, among these VIII be the s. fee
which is now being charged This
should be a 81 fee for nOn-resideuts
and 81 FOR residents Of the state
With these changes our fishing IL

heard very little. II any. complaint
from nOn-residents who make Il a
point to stop and fish for a few DAYS
IN Arizona. and believe that in the
northern half OF the state OF New
Mexico we have as fine fishing as
any other state in the union. and
truly believe that IL cannot be ex-
celled by Colorado or Wyoming. Tn
der these conditions I do not feel
that the s. fee is any too high. but
with the conditions as they exist in
TIE southern uortion OF the state. I
do believe that 4 lower license Zee
would be proper.
may add at this time that New
Mexico is becoming better known
every year as one Of the finest game
states in the union. As an indication
Of this Il might be interesting TO YOU
TO know that our license collections
FOR 1917 viii exceed the highest mark
of any preceding year since this de-
partment was established by $4,000 10
$1,000. A great portion or this in
crease Is the revenue secured from
the sale Of nonresident big game Ii
censes. From all reports coming to
this department. great percentage
Of nonresident hunters have been
successful in baEging their full limit
OF big game such as turkey and deer.
Several different parties have also
been successful in baECiuE one or two
bear, lion, cats and wolves.

VALLEY DAMAGE.

Anthony, y. NJ, Nov. 16.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Having resided in this valley for 81
years. I feel 1t both my duty to my
self and to my neighbors to at least
offer suggestion that might bene-
fit our destroyed valley say de-
stroyed valley. as we might inter
pref il as such at this present time.
Every old timer like myself Will state
that the valley was never bothered
by the alkaline condition that today
confronts us, to say nothing OF the
dreadful seepage condition that has
ruined many thousands OF acres Of
land throughout this valley. Had
the people known that this serious
condition would have been brought
about by the Elephant Butte dam.
they would have certainly fought il
In place OF begged to have il built
as they did.
There is no question but what there
Is a great misunderstanding. and.
consequently BY this misunderstood
ing there is. we might term it. gross
acknowledgment We now have had
experience under storage water Of
the Elephant Butte dam for three
years, every year seeming TO make
matters worse in place OF improving
them. The principal crop. alfalfa
seems 70 be falling off each year
from 30 20 so percent OF the previous
year, and other crops. I can almost
say are equally as bad
Al We have to do TO realize the
serious condition that exists through
out the valley is to examine the Dona
Ana county records and see the
thousands OF mortgages, both first
and second, due on lands in the val
ley and TO visit many Of the homes
OF the actual farmers don't mean
spectators or hot air boosters. but I
DO mean families who reside upOn the
valley lands. All we have to do is TO
talk with these people and they viii
tell us as I am telling my readers.
that the matter is 50 serious that no
words can explain it There is no
