Huntlns; Condition Are Poorer, Dae to Hard Winter, Which Haa Cut . Down Number of Birds. OLTMPIA. Wash., Sept. 23. (Spe-, cial.) Marked improvement Is shown in the same and fishing conditions throughout the state for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1916, according to reports made by the county game wardens to State Game Warden Dar win. While hunting- conditions show an improvement during the early part of the year, the unprecedented Winter served to curtail activities along that line, and in the opinflon of most of the game wardens will operate to decrease the bird supply this year. To the bad Winter conditions is also ascribed the cause for the reduction in the grand total of hunting and fishing licenses issued for the fiscal year of 1915, which was 124.691. as against 124,901 in 1914; a decrease of 210. The number of county licenses de creased 759, there being 122.240 county fishing and hunting licenses at $1 each isoued In 1914. and 121,490 in 1915. To compensate for this, however, the num ber of resident county fishing licenses at 2 each increased, 64,941 being is sued in 1915. as against 877 in 1914. The number of state licenses issued at $5 each in 1915 increased 470, the number issued In that year being 2220, as against 1750 in 1914, while the non-resident state licenses at $10 each increased from 25 in 1914 to 40 in 1915. The cash balance in the state game fund on March 1. 1915. was J25. 882.48. The receipts of the state game fund during the year was $27,803,98. making a grand total of $53. 686. 40. The dls bursements for the period ending Feb ruary 29, 1916, was $28,454.34, leaving atcash balance n the state game runa March 1, 1916. or zs.z3z.iz. through Grangevllle, Whltebird and New Meadows to Boise, where it con nects with the Yellowstone Park State Highway and also, connects with a trunk-line highway running north from the Lincoln Highway to a connection with the Idaho state system.
