D. Rankin to.'C. A. Jakaways, state fish and game Warden. • • •*('*( £| • \The law has been long established ^that, i n '.th e “ case of non-navigable streams, the right to fish is an incl- ■dent of the- ownership of thé land, and while the public have a general .ownership in animals wild by nature, including fish, and all members of dJhe .public have equal rights to pursue •and take .the same, the right to fish Us separate from the right to go upon the property upon which: the stream is situated, and does .not relieve the trespass committed--by one going up on private property without permis sion or aUhority to do so. Conse quently the going upon privately ,-owned land for the purpose of fishing is as much a trespass as going.upon ^he same for any other purpose. “There is, however, no statute of Montana making it a criminal of fense to go upon the property of -another for the purpose of fishing.'al though chapter 36 of the^laws of 1915 makes it a misdemeanor for one to hunt upon private -property witih notices forbidding hunting or tres passing posted thereon. The liability therefore of one going upon the lands -of another for the purpose of fishing is purely a civil one and such person -can only be held for damage actually committed. Chapter 36, supra, also makes it a misdemeanor^ to tear down or injure any fence or inclosure for \the purpose of entering the land or premises- of another* or to build a -fire within the inclosure of another,” I Geo.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES WE MADE A MISTAKE .-In last week’s Montanan a piece of ‘news was, to say the least, a bit stretched. Just before going to press we were informed that Big Bear, well known, resident of the Sun River country, had been* killed in a runaway. Laterfreports' are to the effect that he is rapidly recovering from only j minor injuries. Thife will be pleasing! news to his many friends in this part of the country.*/-,-Our only excuse for- making this -misleading statement in our last issue is “we told it to you as if was told to us.” a pension bill. ,A .national legion convention has never formally taken action in this matter, and na such pronouncement has been made by a national commander, but such a sit uation is regarded as generally un derstood. Many legion men are of the opinion that the rank and file of their organ ization’s membership does not ap- J prove of such an attitude, but rather j regards a pension in the future of j more importance than adjusted com- jpensation'legislation at this time. Washington, Aug. 30. American There is considerable speculation re- Leglon men here are discussing the possibility ' of President Coolidge signing ;a, soldier bonus bill in -.De cember. It is said by those who have polled both houses hat the measure\ vetoed by, the late President Harding can and will be passed over a veto, should p resident Coolidge see fit to accept the viewpoint of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Mr. Mellon has just announced that he will oppose a bonus in the 68th congress. Bonus advocates in the- past have •given the impression that should ad justed compensation be allowed the American Legion will never sponser garding what action, if any, will be taken to' settle the matter at the fifth national convention of the legion. . Commander Alvin M. Owsley has announced -that adjusted compensa tion legislation for all. men serving in the world war will be pushed in ■the'next session of congress, with little doubt that It will be granted. He says the legion’s plan is to min imize the cash option of compensa tion and to place special stress Upon! land settlement and farm-aid feat- fires. He favors a “back to the farm” movement.
