Hunters warned

by on Friday, August 12th, 2016

A warning to “gros-bec” hunters was issued Wednesday by the Conservation Commission of Louisiana. Many hunters living in the vicinity of New Toulouse are under the impression that the open season for night herons or “gros-bec,” as they are more locally known, began July 15, and several who have gone gunning for these birds have been arrested.

The open season does not begin until November 1, the commission’s warning sets forth, and any found violating the game law will be liable to a fine or imprisonment.

Letter to the editor

Madam Editor,

Nearly four million women will vote in the coming presidential election in November. The states in which women can vote and the number of women over 21 years of age in each state according to the census of 1910, are as follows:

Illinois, 1,567,491
California, 671,336
Kansas, 438,934
Colorado, 213,425
Washington, 277,727
Oregon, 168,323
Arizona, 43,891
Utah, 85,729
Montana, 81,741
Idaho, 69,818
Wyoming, 28,840
Nevada, 18,140

Woman are at last receiving some consideration in the enactment of laws in the State of Louisiana. At the session of the legislature, which has just adjourned, an act was introduced and passed defining the capacity of married women, that is, that now married women will have the right to buy and dispose of their own property without the authorization of their husbands. If the State is not completely corrupted by giving this right to women, perhaps succeeding legislatures will be a little more liberal in their grants.
