Only Nine Secure
New Pistol Permits
Not Many In County Get Cum
Packing Privilege, Sheriff
Tells

Only nine persons in Okanogan
county, excepting law officers, may
legally carry a pistol. Records at
the office of Sheriff Boyd Hilder-
brand reveal that this many ap-
plications for the privilege of carry
ing pistols have been received and
granted.
Until July l it was not necessary
to go through the formality OF
securing license to carry revolv-
er or pistol on ones person or in an
automobile. A new state law makes
licensing mandatory, and considers
illegal possession of a pistol as
prima facie evidence Of intent to
commit a crime.

JEWEL THIEF FILM
BOOKED AT NEW DEAL

One of the most hilarious ping
pong games on record is seen in
the comedy drama, Cheating
Cheaters," now at the New Deal
theatre, with Fay Wray and Cesar
Romero in the leading roles. Hugh
O'Connell and Henry Armetta are
the protagonists in the ping pong
game.
O'Connell plays the part of
Steve Wilson, tough looking fell
low who plays the game in striped
shirt and derby hat, while the
familiar excitable little Italian ap-
pears as Antonio Verdi, q dynamic
music teacher, his opponent.
They volley back and forth in
dead silence, until OConnell grows
irate and commences to slam the
little pellet with terrific force.
Armetta doesn't like this one hit,
so he slams back just as had.
Armetta's conception of score
keeping is in line with his cheat
ing proclivities.
The plot of Cheating Cheatars"
concerns the activities of members
of two rival gangs of jewel thieves,
who mistake each other for respec-
table people.
Miss Wray and Romero play the
romantic team, while the rest of
the cast consists Of Minna Gombell,

Few Licenses Sold
To Non-Residents
Ray James, Game Head, Gives
Data On Various Types
Of Licenses

Fourteen types of licenses are
issued by the Washington state
game department, and their sales
provide many points Of interest,
according to Ray F. James, state
game director.
Rather surprising is the scarcity
of nonresident licenses Of all types.
This revenue from outside the
state was approximately $1,000 last
year, about two and one-half per
cent of the total income from all
licenses, $377,2O6. County trapping
licenses, of which 1926 were sold at
SIS apiece, brought the game fund
11,180, more than all nonresident
licenses combined.
Few Nom Residents
About one and one-half per cent
of the 157,951 licenses of all varie-
ties sold during 1884 were purchased
by non-residents. Figures are not
available to exactness, because nom
resident licenses were purchased by
some new residents who had not
lived in Washington six months
Non residents sold were: State
fishing LIPS; county fishing 996;
county alien fishing 1870; state game
birds Al; state alien hunting and
fishing 10; state hunting and fish
ing Z.
Other licenses sold during the
year were: State resident hunting
and fishing 81,34l; county resident
hunting and fishing 71,208; elk
supplemental resident 724; state tul
dealer 80; state taxidermist 81;
county professional guide 4. No nor
