 The message in question made necessary by the fact that it was practically known at that time that the meat supply of the interior would come exhausted, which condition of affairs is now about to come to For this the club de so as to give hunters in the interior little more leeway, under the contention that the big game too early.
 Under the present law the open season for big game, such as moose caribou and mountain sheep, starts on August and ends December 10. the hunt CTS being given additional fifteen days which to dispose of the carcasses of the animals killed Under the provisions of the bill introduced by Delegate Sul- ger, if the Delegate has followed the lines sug- gesed by the Commercial Club. and is presumed that he has, the open would begin on Septem- Der l and end January 10, with the hunters being given the additional fifteen days time, until Jan uary 25, in which to dispose their meat The bill is also supposed to embody provision for tagging system whereby killing game animals within the limits prescribed by law may prior to the end of the time given for dsposing of the carcasses have the meat tagged by any federal official, and this manner may hold it until such time as he sees fit to sell it.

 And the Delegate has evidently taken the wire in the spirit in which 1t his message of yesterday that he has introduced his bill as a war measure, It is therefore supposed that he has put the matter before Congress in it's proper light killing of wild game in this country, the law as it is at present. making the importation vast quan titles of meat an absolute necessity.
 The support given the bill by the Secretary of the Agriculture, according to Delegate Sulzers wire is considered to that the measure will undoubtedly pass Congress when it is brought up It's passage of of the past, but it is believed that the measure will be acted on before August which would mean that if passed the open for and other wild fowl will be advanced to August 15 as requested
