C. B. Oral went to Summervllla 'this morning to create another game reserve. This means that the farms that will be taken In the reserve will be closed to all hunting for the per iod of five years. The farmer will have to sign an agreement not to allow hunting of game birds or other animals on his farm save -predatory animals, such as mink, lynxes, coy otes and animals that are destructive of game. And even. In this case per mission must be had of the owner of the farm. The farms that will be' Included in the Summervllle reserve .are those those of Mr. Choate, T. T. Glenn, C, F. Oswald, Messrs. Murchison, Parks' and Brooks. j In speaking ot Illegal hunting Mr. Oral had this to say of breaches of the game law on the south side of the Island City road: "Several parties have been hunting In that section and especially after dark. The parties are known to me and we will be after them until they stop the practice or !ay themselves bare to the law. I Intend to put a stop to this disregard Tor the law and any violator of the law will get the limit regardless of personi or standing. It la inconsist ent to spend a great deal of money for the preservation of these birds and allow men to shoot them as fast as they are big enough to fly. U there Is no other corrective for the bad habtt they may try a round with the authorities. You may say for me that I waa on their trail a few nights ago and but for the approach ing night would have landed the three of them. I am as foxy as they are and will get them If they think they can outwit me In the game. And what Is more, they will be mighty expensive birds for these gentle men." Collision Caases Deaths. Havre.

Predicting the enactment of banking reform leg islation by ' a fipeclal session of the new congress along Democratic lines Senator NewJanda of Nevada haa an nounced his intention of seeking the adoption of a scheme to reserve as sociations in several states to te fed erated nationally and whose opera tion are to bring about practical guarantee of deposits. "I believe the Democratic Insist ence upon the sU-te as a unit In this legislation is the correct one. While Aldricb's plan, of reserve associations In America would divide the country regardless of state lines, into sixteen zones. -and It would virtually create a central bank' and my plan would unite the reserve associations of all national and state banks within the state that were doiag interstate busi ness. Such banks would inevitably come to protect one another by mu tual guarantee of deposits." Huge Coal Chute, Newest In Type, Now Completed In about a week's time the old coal shtite will have done Its last service for the 0. W. R: & X. company. Its work will then be done by the new device for elevating coal for the en gines. A gang of men is laying the track that leads into the chute and in the course of two or three days that will be finished. The com pany will then boast one of the most modern and economical devices to handle coal known to the. railrond business. Owing to the fact that all of the coal will be hoisted and placed lu the bins by automatic machinery at about one-ninth the cost of the old system It will mean not only a great saving over the old method l.ut will he much more rapid and efficient. The cost of operating the old chutes has been In the neighborhood of $90 a day and the new device will do more work for about $10 a day. Four engines will be able to get coal nt one and the same time and in a few minutes. Theoperatlon will be about as fol lows: When the cars containing the coal have been switched on the track of the elevator they will be drawn Into position by the engine that runB the hoisting machinery. Once In po sition the coal Is emptied from hop per bottom cars Into the pit below the track. This pit converges at the bottom and leads the coal to the elevator shaft. When the machinery Is working, the buckets carrying a ton and a half load themselves and are then hoisted to bins above where they unload themselves automatical ly.

Another feature of the new chute Is the device for drying and hoisting sand. Adjoining the elevator is a large bin for the storage of sand. As needed this sand Is sent through dryer and elevated by compressed air pressure to a bin In the upper part of the chute. A two Inch pipe lead lng from the dryer to the bin con veys this and to Its plane from where It is run down by gravity to the re ceptacle In the engine. Formerly this had to be done by band. All the engine crew has to do Is to insert the hose leading from the bin to the engine and In the twink ling of an eye the supply ls furnish ed.
