Commission, Price stated that
$4,000 pheasants were released
in Montana last year to assure
good hunting. He told the club
that few deer and elk were
killed this year due to the mild
weather with no snow to drive
the big game down from the
mountains.
Price added that it would be
inconsistent to ask for an ex-
tension of the 1899 duck season
in view of the fact that the
government was kind enough to
open the season October 1 at

of the work that was being
carried on there. He told the

but it has been refused, he
