Hunters Must Comply With Terms of
Federal Bird Law-Open Season
Lasts Till December is

As will be seen elsewhere in this is
son warns all hunters to kill no ducks
or geese in this region until September
16. when the season is officially open
under the terms of the Federal migra-
tory bird law. The Wyoming state
licenses provide that ducks and geese
may be killed on and after September
l. but State Game Warden w. II. Jud-
kins has Informed all his deputies that
the Federal law takes precedence and
instructs them to see that none of the
birds are killed before the 10th. In
a letter sent out to all deputy wardens
of the state, Mr.. Judkins says:
You will note in that part of the
game laws relative to migratory game
birds. found on pages Ii to 10 inclu-
sive. that the date of the open season
upon ducks, geese, etc. as set by the
state law conflicts with the date set by
the federal government in the inigra.
tory bird treaty act. The federal law
being superior to the state law. it will
therefore take precedence. and the date
the season opens will he September 16,
rather than September 1. On the
other hand the date set by the state
law for the closing of the season will be
used. since it comes within the season
authorized by the federal law. There
fore. the seaso will close December IS,
rather that December 81. As author
ity for the statement herein made you
will note that all game and bird licen-
ses issued by this department read,
This licenses issued subject to the fed
eral law on migratory BIRDS"

careless campers and the regulation
has been in effect on certain forests in
California for some years and evident
ly it has become necessary to extend
the same regulation to all national for
ests in Wyoming, California, Oregon,

fires occurring in those states this sum-
mer.
This regulation became effective

ed.

Wheat Elevator For Dixon

Snake River Sentinel At n meet
ing held by the directors of the Dixon
Flour Mill Co. last week ii was unan
imously voted TO increase the cap
ital stock 80 per cent of the former
amount, raising it from $4,000 to $15,-
600. The purpose of raising the cap
utilization at this time is to provide
funds for erecting an elevator this
fall.
The Dixon mill has worked up n
wonderful flour trade which would be
difficult to retain unless another wheat
shortage is prevented by the use Of an
elevator for storage. 1t is understood
that they will not have sufficient wheat
to run the usual time necessary to up
ply the trade and forseeing this the di-
rectors took steps to prevent any such
calamity in the future.

snake is to be undertaken by the Rep
tile Study Society of America, it was

that as a destroyer of rodents and 9TH
er small pests on the farm the snake
is a friend and benefactOr of man.
"The snake has a very important
bearing on the food production" said
Mr.. Williams, "and every person who
kills a nonpoisonous snake might as
well destroy a hundred times the
snakes weight in wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the
snakes economic value be taught here

that she reads our little paper and, of
