There have been a number of changes in the registration law, but w'e note only the most im portant: miles. County commissioners are now allowed to appoint three or four registry agents in citie* of more than 5,000 inhabitants instead ol only two. The n e w ’law requires them to be ‘*at their respective offices within each and every pre cinct of tbeir election dibtriet, be tween the hours of 10 a. m. and 10 p. m. on all legal days from and after 10 o'clock a. m. of tbe second Tuesday of October to and includ ing the Tuesday next preceding any general election to be held in the state.” Registration officers are required to prepare their list of voters with in three days after the dost 0 his office, instead of allowing him seven days; and in the same line, is that which allows them to re ceive objections to tile right of any one to Vote up to six o’clock of the third day, iustead of tho seventh day, be for ©election. (Jertificates of registration are only good in the county where the voter resides and in which the certificate was issued. The main feature of the changes made, howiVer, is as follows: ‘Tt is hereby made the duty of each and every registiy agent to designate, on or before the first day upon which he is required to commence the registration of voters to published in some news paper within his county a public- notice that he will sit within each and every precinct within hi election district. In such notice he shall designate his home office, wherein he shall sit, and be found, during the first three days and the last three days that the registra lion shall be opened, and upon every registration day when he is not sitting within other precincts He shall also designate in his no* tice at least two, and not more than three days in which he will sit within each precinct within his district, and he i-hall so arrange his sittings, if practicable, as to sit on one Saturday in each and every precinct in his district, lie shall give notice of the exact place in each precinct in which he will sit, and he shall sit in no other place within such precinct, unless it shall become impossible for him to sit in the place designated, and if he can not secure accommoda tions at the place designated it shall be his duly to secure them at the nearest possible suitable place, and he shall immediately post notices at the place originally designated that he is silting else where, and such notices shall give the exact location of where he may be found. And it is hereby made the duty of registry agents to attend at the places designated and to register voters thereat be tween the hours of 10 in the morn ing and 10 at night, omitting, if they see fit the hour between 12 o’clock noon, and one o’clock in the^fternoon, and six o’clock and seven o’clock in the ¿ning. In ad dilitiou to the notice in the news paper of the schedule of the regis try agent’s appointments he shall post, or cause to be posted, within each precinct of his election dis trict a copy of such published 110 - tictice, so that the voters within each precinct shall know the ex act dale upon which the registry agent may sit within their pre cincts. The registry agents are hereby forbidden to legister .any person or persons outside of their offices, but any elector qualified to register within the election dis trict in which he resides may reg ister within any point within his election district, whether within his proper precinct or not, but the regisiry agent shall designate, as is required by this act, the partic ular precinct where such elector may reside and be entitled to vote.” New Gam© Law . The following is a brief synopsis of the game and fish law7 as passed at this session and now in force: The law puts a penalty of from $200 to $500 for killing bison, buf falo or quail for ten y*ar and the same fine for six years for killing moose, elk, otter or beaver. The open se;.s >n tor killing white tail and black tail deer, mule deer, mountain sheep, Rocky Mountain goats and antelope is from Aug. 15th to Dec. 15th. The penalty for killing them is from $50 to $100 or from 30 to 60 days in the coun ty jail. A fine of from ten to twenty five dollars is to be im posed lor runuing these animals with dogs. Grouse, prairie chickens, pheas ants, pool hens, partridges and snipe may be shot from Aug 15 to Nov. 15. The tine is irons $25 to $50. Wild geese and ducks, etc, must not be shot between Jan. 1 and Sept. 1, on penalty of ten to twenty five dollars and thirty day» in jail. It is also unlawful to shoot or kill any song birds or snow birds at any time. Fi«hing in any of the si reams of this state, except in the Missouri nelow the Great Falls and in the Yellowstone below Clark’s Fori, with anything except a hook, line and rod is unlawful, and no moun tain trout or other small fish ean be caught or taken from any stream during the months of May and June. All ditches leading from natural streams must be pro tected at their head by a grate of not more than \ inch mesh. Tl.o grate must be placed in position September 1 and removed on March 1, failure is punishable by a fine of from $20 to $100 or im prisonment for six month?, or both. The use of giant powder is for bidden under a heavy penalty, also the dumping of saw dust into a stream Persons damming streams are req uired to build fii-hways of certain dimensions. Stage com panies and railroad companies are forbidden to carry any fish or game, the killing of wh.eh is unlawful. Grand juries are required to ex amine all infractions of the law and indict. One half of the fines go to the school fund of the coun ty ar.d the other to the informant. \The piovisins of this bill are made to ex'end to half- breeds an4 Indians ofi' their raserv »lions.
