J. Ub- BB B uolly such deptorablo mistakes occur B El la the I,lne' wooda of Wisconsin and BB ft Minnesota and It has been computed BB j that during the deer hunting season BB H moro lives aro destroyed through BB M s carelessness In handling guns In tho BB jj two states mentioned than deer are H X slain. B F ! However, the killing of two hunt- BW C era and the wounding of a third in B h Jersey seems utterly Inexcusable, oc- B h currlng according to report, In a prac BB jl S tlcally open road. Soon after daybreak B 1 ,no "port states, the three sportsmen B 1 separated from their party, and were B , walking down a by-road to take Bif i jj stands, when sudenly another hunter Bjjk ' walked out In tho road, and, thinking B"' S the 'r' t0 1,e decr' D'nzeu" away.

' , "Not In twenty years has there I ! i been bo many new faces in the lower (i i , house of the National Legislature as BV'I K ' are In this the C2ml Congress," said Bjp & Captain Llllson. "These legislators in i will bo called upon to pass n water- k j? way budger and It Is therefore highly 2 necessary that they have an Intolll mi I t) gent grasii of this very Important Ba j ij subject. My understanding Is. that the Bn i 1 edict has gone forth from tho lcadcra BV i t of the majority to cut everything to B' j A j the bono, which, if It is followed lit- BK : ') f ci ally, might seriously jeopardize tho BS j K passage of a rher and harbor bill.
