Carson City and Reno. The genial

his return that hereafter, until there

a fat bank account. And speaking of

OHIO GAME PRESERVE

Plans are on foot for the esthlish-
inent of a big game preserve in
Ohio, which is to be the largest In
the middle west. The matter is
now under consideration by the state
fish and game bureau, which expects
to obtain options upon $1,000 acres
of land in Athens, Vincent and Scio-
to counties. The preserve is to be
stocked with wild game and birds
I'm order to afford a free hunting
ground for the sportsmen of Ohio
The land in question is underlaid
with coal, but surface rights only
will be leased for the preserve.
The high cost of hunting and fish
ing licenses In other states prompts
the action, which is intended to make
within the limits of Ohio a paradise
for game and one which will attract
the resident sportsmen and keer
within the state a large sum OF
money that is annually spent by
hunters and fishermen in other
states.
