OF ECONOMY
STARTED AT RED LODGE

The city administration, a
by Mayor C. l.. Koshn of Red Lodge
has started a campaign for econ
omy in the city's business of that
town and cuts in salaries have been
made which amount to more than
$4,000 per annum, and it is hoped
that more savings will be made in
salaries to bring the saving to $4,-
900, or in the neighborhood of
$500 a month.
The mayor started the cut in his
own salary, dropping it from $500
to $12O per year. Councilmen have
also accepted a substantial cut.
The chief of police has cut his
salary from $2,400 to $1,000 per
annum. The night policemen will
get $120 per month instead OF
the $3.50 paid in the past. City
firemen will accept wake reduc-
tons and all along the line there
is a policy of retrenchment which
is very commendable.

ROD AND GUN CLUB
PROPOSE CHANGES
FOR GAME LAWS

The Park County Rod and Gun
club met in he basement of the Lii
brary Saturday evening and with
B. c. Rumsey. member of the state
game commission present, discussed
changes in the Wyoming state game
laws and changes in the boundaries
of the game preserves which it is
thought would be beneficial. The
meeting lasted for several hours.
and some very fine points regard
ing game protection were brought
out by those present.
The club went on record as en-
dorsing a law which would classify
bear as a game, rather than a pre-
datory animal. 1t also recommended
that the out-of-state hunter require
a special license to hunt bear In
the spring, and hat the bag limit
be two bear, only one of which
could be a grizzley. The club did
got favor the hunting of bear in
Ihe fall on the game preserves, even
with permits. and approved the
permit system for use in the spring
season.
Although many of the changes in
the game laws were not entered into
the minutes Of the meeting, Mr..
Rumsey understands local conditions
very clearly, and can be depended
upon to place the ideas of the club
before the game commission.
On the Grebull and S%outhfork
there were to be no changes in the
game preserves, except that some
of the poorly defined lines be made
more clear in the game laws. In
the Crandall creek section, although
there was no representative present
for that part of the county. it was
decided to create a new game pre-
serve in the lower Basin where
there is winter range and to throw
opel to hunting a strip of country
along the park line west of the
Absaroka divide. 1t is felt that
with the present preserve lines the
elk are driven over the divide by
hunting into the lower country with
the result that they go down the
Lamar river into the Montana coun-
Ny, there to be slaughtered by the
late hunting season.
The greatest game preserve prob
lem is on Northfork. A few years
ago an imaginary line was ccsig-
mated, which runs from the mouth
of Garfield creek east to the for
est reserve line. This line has new
er been blazed or marked in any

trouble arises over it's location, and
several arrests have been made
where game was killed in disputed
territory. The club went on record
as favoring a continuance of this
game preserve, which prohibits the
killing of game along the auto
available funds for the proper mark

would abandon the preserve and
make the line the Northfork of the

Other changes on the Northfork
was the placing of that territory

Name and Author.

Rehearsals for an unusual melo
drama to be presented by the me-
chanical drawing department of Cen
trail High School May 29. in connec-
ton with it's annual exhibition, are
beginning amid a contagious air of
mystery. Mystery even as to the
title and author of the play is prom

Shots in the dark, a disagreeable
corpse. ghosts. a fascinating heroine
and particularly vicious villain will
all be portrayed by the members of
the department in this most mysteri-
Gus melodrama.
Yet there is neither author nor title
the coaches assert. These instructors
have developed many successful plays
during the past few years, one of the
best of which was "A Night at an
Inn," by Lord Dunsany.
The major parts this year will be
taken by Andrew Allison. James
