WOULD CHANGE GAME LAWS
Woman Member of Lower House
Takes Up Cudeel for Fur-Bear-
ing Animals.

st. Paul-Important revisions of
the state game laws will be proposed
in bills to be offered in the legisIa-
ture soon. One bill on the subject
will be sponsored by a woman mem
Der, Mrs. Hannah ]. Kempfer of Otter
Tail county.
Mrs. Kempfe: is prepared to cham
pion the cause of fur bearing animals
of Minnesota. Some of them are not
pro, ected at all, and others might as
well not be, foe all the good present
laws do.
The much despised skunk with its
fine and valuable fur ought to be pro-
tected, also the mink, Mrs. Kempfer
said. The damage done by both these
animals has been overestimated, she
believes. The season for muskrat, 9TH
erwise Hudson SEAL" is all wrong,
she holds and her bills will aim to
correct abuses OF the present laws.

BABCOCK FOR ROAD BILL.
Favors Appropriation That Will In
sure Big Road Program.

st. Paul-C. M. Babcock, highway
commissioner, outlined his idea of the
$40, 100000 bond issue which he hopes
to have the legislature pass this ses-
sion to carry on the state road build
ing program.
The bond program which Mr. Bah
cock advocates g continue the work
of establishing a network of 1000
miles of trunk line roads, would cover
the next two years. s1O.OOO.OOO being
spent each year.
Opposition Develops.
Opposition has cropped out among
legislators already toward allowing
such an expense, believing that the
state should go slow and avoid incur
ring any further Indebtedness at this
time. This sentiment was strength.
ened by statement of Governor Preus
ir his message to the legislature last
week, in which the governor cautioned
against spending too much money on
roads at this time. He pointed out
that good roads are necessary, but ad,
vised that the tax-burdened public
should be considered, and that toe
much roadbuilding at the present time
is not sound economic policy.
Babcock Cites Reasons.
Some of the reasons cited by Mr..
Babcock why the bond program should
be passed are:
No present road taxes will be in.
creased, the motor vehicle tax will not
be increased, and no gasoline tax is
advocated at this time
Roadbuilting costs never were lower
than now.

Hydro Plant Will
Provide Water

A hydro-electric development cost
ing about $2O,O0OO,O0O will be started
at Flaming Gorge on the Green River
in Utah as soon as the necessary Ii
cense has been granted by the Fed
eral Power Commission. A prelim-
mary permit has already been issued
to the company which is undertaking
this work. When completed water
will drop approximately AIS feet from
the dam to the generating station in
passing through a tunnel 25 feet in
diameter and three and half miles
long 1t is stated that this project
when completed will develop 125,00C
Dnorse power.
The Flaming Gorge dam will be 21E
feet high and 600 feet long at the
crest. When the water impounded by
this dam has passed through and done
it's work in the generating station
it will be available for irrigation uses
The electric current developed here
will be marketed in Salt Lake City
1870 miles as the crow fires to the
west, and will also be sold to the
coal mines around Rock Springs and
Kemmerer, Wyo. 1t is estimated that
construction of the high tension cleo

to Salt Lake City will cost in the
neighborhoodA of $2,500,OO0.
