LICENSE SALE
FALLING DOWN
Hunting Permits are Not Being Issued
as Fast as Early Season
Figures Seemed to
Indicate.

Although early predictions indi-
Gated that this years hunting license
sale would exceed that of last season,
reports from the county auditor On
the July sale today, show that only
thirty-five licenses have been issued
this month against more than two
hundred issued during the CORE
spending period of last year.
The cause for the present slump
in the license market is probably due
to two causes. One that the price
of shells makes the sport of hunting
too costly for the average citizen to
indulge and the other is that business

during this season of the year is
rushing to the extent that few men
can take the time to follow out the
sport. 1t is believed by the auditor,
however, that business will soon pick
up and that the early season predic-
lions will yet be fulfilled.

Purchase Of Marshes
Along Lake Delayed

COLUMBUS, Sept. 23.---Accord-
ing to information from A. C. Bax-
ter, chief of the Ohio Fish and Game
Department, the contemplated pur-
chase Of marsh lands along Lake Erie
could not be made as planned for the
reason that experts employed for that
purpose were unable to determine the
title to large sections Of marsh, and
purchase will not be authorized by che
Attorney General until clear title
and proper metes and bounds can be
shown.
Swamp Land Surveyor Harry Helm
rich, employed by the Fish and Game
Department, has advised that the G..
O. Beckling Col at Cedar Point, who
owns large portion of the Huron
Marsh, is on the Grand List in Erie
County for 706.46 acres, in Huron
township, while, according to findings
in case of the West Hulon Sport
ing Club VS.. Apdrew Teasal, ct al, the
Huron marsh lands in dispute contain
about 1000 acres. Maps inspected in
dicate a. larger acreage, and in some
cases farmers claim large portions Of
the territory. Heinrich is of the opin-
ion that a survey cannot be made un-
til the marsh freezes over. He as
serts that the marsh titles are a COM
plicated maze that will take months
to. unravel. The Fish an Game De-
partment will hurry the survey as fast
as possible at all points and noNtime
will be lost in an effort to obtain con-
troll of the lake Erie marsh land,
Baxter said today. 1t may be neces-
sary TO have legislation passed to take
over some of these marshes, or. if
necessary to condemn yor the general
public benefit, territories he'll p dis
pute. eve are determined tU1open as
much marsh territory as possible to
all the Funters of Ohio. but to do this
legally may take. some tine Baxter
advises. wHowever, tits going to be-
done as soon Is posAb;e.' = !

Planes Being Used to
Locate Forest Fires

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 49, (Inter
national News Service. That forest
fires, which have taken a terrible toll
Of human life and caused many mil
lions Of dollars damage in this state
have been conquered Is the belief d
national forest officials in Colorado
following a successful experiment in
detecting d dummy" fire in the
thickly wooded country Of the San
Isabel forest by aeroplane scouts.
A plane piloted by Jack Atkinson,
of this city,, and carrying Forest
Ranger Charles w. Glover and an
other observer, swept through the
swirling air currents over the reaches
Of the San Isabel forest, in Southern
Colorado, and demonstrated that the
aeroplane forest fire patrol is far
more efficient than was believed pos
sible.
The trip was made as test upon
which may depend adoption by the
government of a permanent aerial
fire patrol in the forests of Colorado.
The plane was flown from Denver,
south to Pueblo, and within twenty
minutes after the Sire lookout" had
left that city in a southwestward di-
rection the observers had located ac-
cuiately from the thousands of acres
of forest beneath them the siny wisp
of smoke which represented on incipi-
ent forest fire, previously set by other
rangers, concealed in the rugged fast
ness of the San Isabel. One of the
most secluded spots in the forest had
been chosen by the rangers who set
the test fire, hut the plane circled
about the tiny dot Of smoke that had

rSuccessful? The trip couldn't pos
sibly have been a greater success"
declared Ranger Clover upon landing
from the plane. From the earth it
would have been hours before the
smoke from such a fire would have
been discerned against the sky. Look
ing down, with the dense black forest
as background, the thin wisp Of
smoke could be seen miles away" .
