representatives , In Norfolk Friday

tendent at the hospital , was the re

agreed that thcro were certain tilings
badly needed at the hospital nnd it
seems almost assured that at least a

boiler and fire plant. Dr. Young has
recommended the erection of n15,000
building for men and a barn to cost
$7,500.

lying partly In the alloy nnd pnrtly on
n stone ridge across the alley from

fortunate man had evidently been dead

In the neighborhood of $150 worth of

Game Law Suggestions ,
Norfolk , Neb. , Jan. 25. Editor
News : Articles recently published in
the leading sporting magazines have
brought mo a request to present before
the Nebraska legislature my views on
gnmo protection. I have prepared a
paper to submit to the legislature of
which I present you herewith a brief
summary :
First Stop , as far as within the
power and purse of the state market
procurers and the sale and shipping of
game , as well as the keeping or serv
ing of gaino out of season by hotels
and restaurants.
Second Feed and protect from
natural and unnatural enemies nnd
preserve the balnnce of nature among
fowls nnd fishes. This means brush
heaps nnd other coverts for birds dur
ing storms and In breeding season and
the sowing of cane and ( Kaffir corn In
waste places where quail and other
birds can feed during heavy snows ,
nnd for fishes seining tlio sloughs and
rivers to reduce the number of sucker
fish and planting wild rice and minnows
news In the waters of the state. Under
this head would como the provision for
air-holes In horoniotlcally sealed
sloughs nnd ponds In winter and the
removal of fish In the fall from shal
low ponds.
Third Stocking of coverts with
game birds particularly the Hun
garian pheasant and the waters with
game llshes.
Fourth The destruction of all I num.
seines or nets found set In any public
waters nnd o ; all snnres or traps for
birds.
Fifth The licensing of nil persons
carrying a gun In the state and a spo
elal license for persons from other
states.
The revenue * from licenses and the
sale of carp and buffalo would pay the
entire expense of policing and stockIng -
Ing Nebraska coverts and streams.
Flvo thousand dollars worth of food
llshos annually perish within the con-
lines of Madison county In shallow
sloughs and ponds during the cold of
winter and drought of summer. As
an Illustration of the value to the state
of its llshes I cite the following :
Thrco hauls made with a seine ,
under the supervision of the game
warden , ( lie present winter In the
Mississippi river at LaCrosse , WIs. .
leallzed a sum of $12,000 from the
carp , buffalo and bullheads taken. All
game fishes were thrown back In the
river.
Very truly yours ,
J. H. Mackay.
SURE , RIVERS HAVE GROWN.
But How About Elkhorn Being "Four
Times Original Size ? "
Clearwater. Nob. , Jan. 25. Editor
News : Before Dr. Mackay offers fur
ther "affirmative evidence" to thu
question of the "Growth of Nebraska
rivers , " allow me to say that I am
not nor never have been on the neg
ative of such a question.
In his Saturday's article the doctor
assumes that someone ( he mentions
no names , but since my name has ap
peared In The News on this subject
the Inference might be drawn that It
was I ) has denied the "growth of Ne
braska rivers , " and that "testimony
has been demanded" to prove It.
If anyone has denied such growth of
Nebraska rivers It Is not I and If any
reader of The News thinks that 1 made
such denial I refer him to my article
of January 1C , where he will see that
the only statement I expressed any
doubt about was the statement at
tributed to Dr. Mackay that "it" ( the
Elkhorn ) "Is four times Is original
size. "
Now the "growth of Nebraska
rivers" and the Elkhorn "Is four times
Its original size" are two different
propositions and while 1 am doubtful
about the latter statement I heartily
agree with Dr. Mackay on the former ,
and if , after the evidence of his IJOO
witnesses that lie Is going to publish
in The News from day to day Is all In ,
there Is need for any more such ovl

Gamble and Klttredgc Clash.
Washington , Jan. 25. There wns a
little tilt In the senate between Sena
tors Gamble and Kittredgo over a bill
introduced by Senator Gamble au
thorizing the ci cation of a now land
district in South Dakota , to be known
as the "Belle Fourcho laud district , "
with the result that because of an
objection made by Senator Kittredgo
the bill was hold up.
Mr. Gamble stated that he was
anxious that the bill be taken tip and
considered. "It will tnke but a
moment , " said Senator Gamble.
Senator Klttredge said there wore
some amendments to be presented to
the bill , which would take some little
time. "I think It had better go over , "
said Mr. Kittredgo.
Mr. Gamble , In reply , said : "I do
not understand there are any amend
ments proposed. The bill was unani
mously reported from the committee
on public lands without amendment ,
and no amendments were suggested
or proposed. The measure is entirely
satisfactory to the people of the
region affected by the proposed meas
ure and they are anxious for Its enact
ment. Its passage is recommended by
the interior department. It affects a
largo number of people in the western
part of the state and is a matter of
great Importance to them and for their
convenience nnd accommodation. "
Senator Kittredgo , however , put in
an objection and tlio Rollo Fourcho
land office bill went over without pre

More Resign at Hospital.
Although Governor Shallonberger
has not announced now appointees tor
all of the positions , It Is apparent that
practically none of the "old guard" at
the Norfolk Insane hospital will con
sent to remain longer than the early
part of February. Resignations are
following one upon another at the
hospital and tlio new governor will
.jave to start skirmishing to find suc
cessors.
Close upon the resignation of Dr.
Dishong , the first assistant physician
Saturday afternoon , comes today the
resignation of IWIss Sinclair , superin
tendent of nurses and head of the
training school. Miss Sinclair has
sent her resignation to the governor ,
though her retention in the position
was a matter of great importance to
the state.
Hospital Affiliations Cease.
With the resignation of Miss Sin
clair , the affiliation of the Norfolk In
sane Hospital Training School for
Nurses , with three hospitals In
omaha the Clarkson , Methodist and
Mercy comes to an end. The local
training school's affiliation with the
Omaha hospitals continued , according
to provision made by the Omaha hos
pitals , only so long , as Miss Sinclair
remained at the head of this training
scnool.
So with Miss Sinclair's resignation ,
Norfolk loses an affiliation of Homo im
portance. The training school will
continue , but it will bo cut loose by
the Omaha hospitals.
Governor Shallenborger has not jet
appointed a successor to the position of
superintendent of nurses.
Mrs. Baker to Leave ,
No successor to Mrs. W. G. Baker ,
matron , has bc-cn named , but It Is
understood that Mrs. Hakor will re

named are expected the first of next
week.
