Texas during the season when the
furs are in bad shane. introduced by
Representative Finlay OF McCulloch,

The bill combines protection of ami

mails and many of them are becoming
so rare that their furs sell at cx-
orbitant figures on the st. Louis mar
ket, where raw furs are handled.
A dealer at Lampasas. discussing
this measure, said that during the past
season in ten counties in Northwest
and Central Texas, from which hC
draws his supply, he bought 100000
worth Of raw furs. He said that he
lost at least 100000 because furs
condition. Another dealer, who
bought about $4,000 worth of furs
during the past season, has quit pur-
chasing because he was unable to get
| prime furs.
With the present act in force. after
its consideration and passage by the
Senate, these animals will be pro
tccted during the hot months whcr
their furs are ragged and trapping
