CHAMBER HEARS
CHILLY SPEAK
Discusses Possibilities
Duck Refuge Al
RowleY Lake

A. M. Crilly, Monday, talked
to the Big Horn County Cham
Der of Commerce on the wild
life bill in the state legislature
which was made possible by the
Pitmann-RObertson bill passed
three years ago by congress.
Chilly explained that the Pitt
man-Robertson bill called for
an excise tax on all guns and
ammunition sold within a state
according to its size and the
number of hunting and fishing
licenses sold. This money would
be used by the state for game
refugees.
However, before the money is
available the state legislature
must pass a bill authorizing it's
use. Heretofore the money has
been usd as a means of combat
ing predatory animals in Mon
tana.
Passing of the bill in the
state legislature would make
possible the construction of a
dam at RoWley lake which
lhOulO DdCk up Vne wafer anu
form a duck refuge. The loca-
ton has been surveyed and pro-
nounced ideal for such a pro-
ject.
The dam would also prevent
flood waters from coming into
Hardin as the water did last
June, it was stated.
Crilly urged the local cham
Der to wire local representatives
in Helena to back the Wildlife
bill in the legislature.

guilty, but on February 7
changed his plea to guilty be-
fore Justice Vickers. He was

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Record

snd yields of representative State

Gus years, the survey includes bonds
of every State having debt out
standing and at least one city,

The study shows the steady ad-

took place in prime municipal bonds
during 1898, and the widening
spread between bonds of this char
Rcter and those ordinarily consid-
cred second and third grade.
Yields below 2 per cent are now
the rue rather than the exception
among the highest grade credits and
IN most cases it is necessary for the
investor to take maturities of 20
years or longer to obtain higher
return.
Issues in this class, as reported by
the tabulation, include obliga tions
of such cities as Hartford, New
Haven, Baltimore, st. Louis, Cincin-
natl. Louisville, Wilmington, Roch-
ester and Omaha. among others,
and such of the more populous
States as New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
