THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. V0L.44 For a Resident Hunters License. EDITOH PRESS: — « In the PRESS of Feb'y L', 1911, I read a communication signed "Cit izen and Tax-Payer." Having fished the streams in this section each summer for fifty-tiVe years, ! and a ruined the mountains in j search of game for forty-live years, ! flatter myself that 1 know a little | something about what is best to do to protect both game and fish. In the first place the petition circulat ed against the proposed "Resident Hunters License," bears a lie upon its face, as it refers to a fishing | license. The Fish Commission has j nothing to do with this matter, as it is fathered by the game Com mission alone. It also recited that the petitioners believed such a law | to be unconstitutional. Strange what Websterian intellects they must possess as thirty-five states have now the same law and it is doing good work and has never ! been declared to be unconstitutional. He, Mr. Taxpayer, selects a few names from the number signing the remonstrances who I admit are very good citizens 7 but why not publish the entire list and let us know who they are that propose to pass judgment upon this proposed law, suggested by men who have made a life study of the subject. It is a very easy matter to get signers to a petition, no matter what the object may be, as men j often sign thoughtlessly and with- j out consideration. He. Mr. Tax payer, admits the necessity of pre- j ventiou of forest fires and the dei struction of noxious animals and j would have the state appropriate j for this purpose. Now this is not j fair to a large majority of the citi- | zens and tax-payers of the state i who never fish or hunt and who do j not care a continental if there are j any fish in the streams or deer on j the mountains. No, rather let us j who love the chase and who cast ' the fly go down in our pockets and j pay the enormous sum of one dol- | lar for a whole year to propagate ! and protect the game. Men who live in the cities and counties where there are no game but who j desire to hunt must pay this dollar ' and it will be used in some eight or ten counties in this section of j the state. ONE WORM \s TO ltlill> 1.1 KK. Anyone fifty years of age living 1 in this mountainioiis country ran j remeuilier how, when young, upon ! awakening in the morning could not goto sleep again for the con stant chirping and ' song of the robin, pewit, wren and other birds too numerous to mention. Neither did they know anything of the many bugs, inserts and worms that are now a constant menace to the farmer and fruit grower. At that time the only menace to the farmer was the cut worm and the wire worm, the former only coming to the surface to do it.* work dur ing the night iMid the latter con stantly doing it* work Iteiteitth the >ur(j»ce. where the feathered irtl»* couhi not reach it. Ihe 111-KIWI of care for the bird- lui* led to the present condition**, all brought about by the rttrelc** hunter ami the failure to provide at all time*, for the destruction of notions animals and the prevention of forest fires, that destroy the ej-g» itnd young hints. Now, Mt.'l a\|iu\ er. you engage in an hide-relit dream if you think for one moment that you ciin ever get latek our hue*!* with all the ble~->ing» of restored climate. We cannot do ill. but Me can get tie* Micatii ■ mid UioilH tain- populated with tishaiid liituix it we go almut it in the right waj ami not aliow our»elve* to I** a lot of "fdieap *kate«i unwilling to pay one dollar to accomplish that which we so much desire. You are in error again when you term the proposed law a "Gun Tax." It is nothing of the kind. You may have your home from cellar to j garret filled with guns and pay 110 j tax 011 them. You argue from false premises all the way through ! the proposition is a Resident Hunt ers License. It is now up to the hunters to say what legislation they want but one thing you can rest assured of is that if this legis lation, or something along] the same line, is not putin force, the state will be compelled in order to preserve the game to prohibit any i hunting on the state lands. So j take your choice, either one dollar j and good hunting or one dollar.in : your jeans and very poor or no j hunting. NIMROO. Driftwood, Pa., Feb. 7th, 1911. Basket Ball. Through a comedy of errors and holding and calling of excessive fouls ! on our team, Emporium was defeated at Austin last Thursday by the score of 22 to 21. The showing of both teams can be seen from the following score: First half, Emporium had 5 field goals and three fouls, while Austin had five field goals and seven fouls. Sec ond half, Emporium had three field goals and two fouls, and Austin had no field goals and nix fouls. Empori um out-played and out generaled their opponents, but nevertheless had to succumb to a much weaker team. Last Saturday night at opera house, Emporium defeated the heretofore in j vincible team from Weedville by the j overwhelming score of 73 to 18. The 1 first half ended with a score of 21 to 12 j in 112 ivor of Emporium, and these points j were made by the hardest kind of ! work. In the second half, Emporium j started their famous passing game and | in a few minutes had Weedville up in i the air, Emporium making 52 points in I this half to 6 for Weedville.

H team is supposed to lie the strongest team in central part of state, defeating Williarusport, Lock Haven N'ormal and others. On Weedville floor, this team held Weedville to a score of 22 to 21 which showing is 1 favorable to our own score on the same | floor, and as Lock Haven is used to a j large floor, this game with the local boys should be close and interesting, t'sual prices will be charged.
