That statement said, in part:
There will be adequate railroad
transportation in the United States
for any increased business now in
prospect. To insure that this will be
. the case, the railroads are agreed
upon a policy of putting into repair
their cars and engines which have
not been needed to handle current
business. In addition, as traffic and
earnings may justify it, additional
equipment will be ready to meet
demands which may develop.
THE railroads are and will con-
selves in readiness in advance of de-
mand. They do this in spite of the
fact that of late years traffic has

NO DOVE SEASON IN
MONTANA THIS FALL

In response to inquiries from
sportsmen throughout Montana,
State Game Warden James A. Wea-
yer has announced that doves and
IL other species of migratory birds
will not be on the open list" during
the duck and goose season from Oc-
tober % to December 6.
! Weaver said the persons believ-
ing there would be an open season
OH doves apparently had misunder-
stood migratory waterfowl hunting
regulations distributed by the fed
eral biological survey, the govern
ment agency in charge of setting
seasons on duck and goose hunting.
In some states, the warden said,
where local game commissions and
the federal agency have agreed on
dove seasons, there will be an open
period this fall. The Montana fish
and game commission, however, he
said, voted not to put doves and the
IL other species of birds on the open
list because of their scarcity.
Hunters will be allowed to shoot
Wilson snipes, jacksnipes, greater
and lesser yellowlegs, coots and gal
linules from seven in the morning
to four in the afternoon during the
duck season, Weaver said. Fifteen
birds of one species or is birds in
the aggregate will constitute the dali
ly bag limit.
