Bird Treaty Constitutional.

A decision of widespread interest TO
sportsmen and others affecting the pro
lection of migratory birds vas rendered
by the United States Supreme Court on
April 10, when it sustained the cOnstitu-
.tionality of the migratory bird treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain for the protection of migratory
birds and the act of Congress to give
it effect. This law is administered by
the Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture.
In March. 1919, the State of Missouri
filed suit in the United States district
court for the western district of Mis-
souri, against Ray p. Holland, a United
States game warden. for the purpose
of securing n restraining order prohibit
ing Federal wardens from enforcing the
migratory bird treaty in hat state.
The validity of the treaty and the act
was upheld in an opinion rendered by
Judge Arba s. Van Nalkenburgh, of
the western district of Missouri, on
July 2, 1919. The case was appealed
to the Supreme court of the United
States, which has affirmed the opinion
of the lower court.

Weston Gets 'Tn Bad"

Guy S. Weston, well known in En-
campment, formerly manager of the
Portland mine, was found guilty of
non-support in Denver last week. I'm
der the conviction he may be sent
to the p~enitentiary, as the charge is a
criminal one. Weston is also under
bond in a civil action pending against
him.-Encampment Echo.
Weston will be remembered by many
people in Saratoga, he having created
more II less excitement about the

a 10-cylinder racing car, an English
accent and many fabulous stories of
what the future was destined to bring

opposite effect. More ~prospectors' leaS-
es than ever are being applied for, and
numbers of oil operators. some large
ana some small, have said they prefer
10 develop state lands under the Wyo-
ming lease law and regulations. and
so it develops that the lease law which.
it was thought. would cut down the
leasing of state lands and injure the
state in this respect. has actually in
creased it.
One thing that seems to favor the
state leases. say the oil operators. is the
prompt action and fixed royalty. Or
dinarily an individual or corporation
may complete an oil lease and be drill
ing on the lane in IL to 20 days. and
they are assured that if they dis
cover oil in commercial quantities The
royalty they will have to pay will not
exceed one-eighth of the value of he

The election was void Of all excite

done by either ticket. There was no
special issue at stake. neither was there
an unusually light or heavy vote.
Every person who had II vote went to
the polls, cast his or her vote, then
went home and left the rest to the
judges of the election.
