THE GAME LAW

The deer season opened at Sunrise
on the morning of October 1st and
closes at sunset on October 31st. 1t
has been stated that the season open
ed at midnight. This is not true, for
it is a violation of the law to fire at
game before sunrise or after sunset.
The quail season opens at the same
time on the morning of the 18th of
October and closes December 31st.
For some reason the duck season does
not open until a day later, or on Oct
ober 18th and closes January 31st.
This is also true of geese and other
water fowl The season on wild
turkey is the same as that on deer.
Bag limits are one male deer with
horns and two turkeys during the sea-
son; ducks and geese both included
twenty per day, doves and white wings
both included, twenty-five per day;
quail twenty per day.
There is no open season On ante
lope, mountain sheep, mountain goat,
female deer, fawns without horns
bob white or insectiverous birds.
Trapping of quail is positively pro-
hibited.
There are now in the neighborhoOd
of four hundred deputy game wardens
in the state, and it will be poor policy
to hunt without license. The sea-
sons license costs only $125 which
covers hunting and fishing but no
trapping. Trappers' license is $3.50,
everyone trapping for animals with
out this is liable to prosecution.

SANTA FE EARNINGS
SHOW GOOD INCREASE

Operating revenues of the AtchisOn,
Topeka & Santa Fe system for the
month of August amounted to $20,-
868 697.69, compared with $19, ,94S, ,353,-
54 for the corresponding month in
1922, an increase of $920,144 for the
month.
The railroads operating expenses
for August this year amounted to
$15,271, lis 04, and in August 1922,
they were STATS, 1926. .24-an increase
in operating expenses of 1892, 1880.
The net operating income therefore
for August this year was 1885, ,O88.87
and for the same month last year,
$3,4S3,816.95. This was an increase
of SAT- ,271.92 over last year.
For the first eight months of 1928
the company's gross operating earn
ings amounted to $152,267, ,46412, and
for the same period in 1922, $135,818,-
836. 85-an increase of $16,448,6 ,627.29.
The operating expenses for the eight
months amounted to $114 1856, ,878,29,
and in 1922 the expenses for the eight
months were $106, ,783,330.55, an in
crease of $7,603, ,547,94 over 1922.
The net operating income for the
eight months was $27,710,614.24, and
last year, $19,709, 9,310.63, an increase
of $8,O01, ,303.61.
The tax accruals for the period
amounted to $10,784,972 while for the
same period last year they were $9,
516,843, an increase of $1,268, 128 for
the company's taxes alone. The fact
that the four remaining months
September, October, November and
December which are usually the hea
West for traffic and revenue, are yet
to be added to the earnings does not
prevent very favorable forecast of
the good business for 1928.
Based upon the approximate August
earnings (gross) this would add about
$84,0O0O 900, which would make the
gross operating revenue $236,000,000
