I, c=WPEKLY BULLETIN ?hmm I S.C.Gaml cJFish Association | i ' i ' ' All hunters and fishermen are Interested In the provisional the new laws passed and the old Wws am muted as a result of the last session of the legislature. For your information and guidance we call your attention to several pieces of constructive legislation, all of which should tend to make hunting and fishing by the sportsmeu of the state more enjoyable. Act 728 empowers the Chief Game Warden to deslguate streams of the state as fish sanctuaries, under certain conditions. Realizing that game tlsh thrive most successfully In our Hue waters If given a reasonable opportunity, we hope to materially Increase the fish population* of a stream by setting apart a section of the stream as a sanctuary, prohibiting all fishing of every kind for a period of a year or more. On the other hand we do not want to close a stream that Is furnishing recreation and enjoyment for a greht many fishermen. Consequently, the law Is so constructed that only a limited section?two miles?of the stream is closed at one time. This does not seriously affect anyone or deprive anyone of their iishing, as the greatest distance one would have to travel on this account would be one mile. This two-miles of protected water?and 1 mean absolutely protected against all fishing? will afford wonderful facilities for tho fish to spawn and grow unmolested, and It is reasonable to expect better fishing In the area in two or three years. This department will be glad to discuss with any delegations conditions of their stream and how the act may help them. Zone 1. embracing, the counties of Pickens, Oconee and Greenville have adopted a uniform game law throughout the none. An act was also passed qualifying the state of South Carolina for participation In the federal wildlife bill providing federal aid to stutes In a wildlife restoration program. Through this enactment wo hope to spend arouud forty thousand dollars annually In South Carolina for wildlife restoration projects, the money coming from the federal government. While tho federal act does not become effective until July 1, and It will take some time for allotments to be made to the slates on upproved projects, It Is my hope that soon wo will see the building of quail farms In the Htate, as a definite step toward replenishing tho supply of this fine game bird in South C&rolluu. At the time of the purchase of your hunting license you will be handed uj booklet describing tho changes in the shooting season. Any other Informa-. tion will be gladly furnished by this department upon request. Railroad Tragedy Takes Heavy Toll Miles City, Mont., June 20.?Custer Creek, Into which the Milwaukee railroad's "Olympian" carried nearly forty persons to their death in the nation's worst train tragedy in years, resisted today the efforts of rescuers to reach one car still holding its dead. Heavy silt flowing into a submerged tourist sleeper, in which seventeen persons had booked space, forced Milwaukee officials to abandon attempts to raise it with cranes. They said they feared the bottom of the water-lodged sleeper might drop out, sending the bodies down stream. N Sixteen bodies, eleven of them identified, have been recovered from the wreckage. Another, that of an unidentified woman, was taken from the Yellowstone river, into which Custer Creek flows, about fifty miles from the scene of the tragedy. Porters told of seeing as many as five or six bodies carried away by the twenty-foot flood that rolled down the creek channel. The flood waters, which had carried out a 180-foot bridge Just before the fast, air-conditioned train arrived at the crossing early yesterday, contin lied to subside slowly today. Salvage workers said the receding water would permit them to dig the bodies from the submerged sleeper. As the muddy water fell back from the windows of the half over-turned car, witnesses said they could see the bodies of passengers some still in the seats. Lights in the sleeper had burned merrily almost until dawn yesterday. A track walker had reported Custer Creek> 26 miles east iC Miles City.I almost dry just a few minutes before the train arrived. But the flood water was runn'ngj almost at track level when the racing! locomotive pitched into the creek.' Seven of the twelve cars behind Itj piled up in a Jackstraw heap of rent| steel. Milwaukee officials said the train | carried at least 155 passengers and a! crew of ten. With seventeen known dead, 44 in hospitals, 37 treated for minor injuries, and -41 others reported unharmed, rescue workers were hopeful the total dead would not exceed forty. J. J. Oslie, assistant general passenger agent for the Milwaukee railroad at St. Paul, was at the scene and estimated the dead would number 36. Survivors and rescue workers agreed that many more lives might ' .J.'. ,U.'.s I.- J have been lost had not tho more than cool-headed passengers aud crew members skillfully aided their fellow* out of the water-filling cars. Graphically relating how passengers escaped from hta car, K. Woltt, a Chicago business man, declared thut "everyone was quite calm, there was no hysteria at all." "One end of the car next to us was in water and we hollered to the people in that car that It was not sinking and to stay there as they'd be safe," Woltx said. The Chicago man said two other men followed him ou^ through a broken window. "We pulled the people in the car from my window up to the top of the sleeper. Someone found a ladder and we put it from the chair car to the tender and people walked over the rungs," Welts related. At the hospital, and at tho Miles. City morgue where relatives came to claim their dead, stories of tragedy and of heroism were told by the survivors. Ten year old Anno l^allas, whose mother was dead and whose father was missing, related how sh$. tried 1 desperately to keep her mother's I head above the swirling water. When tho mother, Mrs. Thomas l^allas, fainted from shock, tho small girl grabbed her hair and hold her head above water for several minutes. Anne's brother, nine yoar old George, suffered a broken arm. Unable to comprehend the tragedy, he kept crying, "I want my mama and daddy." "Lut you haven't any mama aud] daddy any more," the boy's sister tried bravely to explain. The family was en route home to Bellington, Wash., from a visit to Greece. A negro porter on the train, Lew Williams, was credited by survivors with possibly saving several lives by calmly directing passengers out of his car. ' Seven Milwaukee railroad employees, who knew Custer Creek as a ravine that usually carried no more than "a bucket of water," were riding the Olympian as passengers. They joined regular trainmen in helping out the survivors, and two of them telephoned first news of the tragedy to Miles City Mile Cain and Ed Hamm, brukemen. crawled over the twisted pile of steel tars, made their way to Saugus, a small station, and telephoned for help. William Sherer. veteran Milwaukee engineer, said the railroad men were "chewing the fat" in the first day coach when the crash occurred. Great Falls Defeats Camden Great Falls, June 21.?Great Fall#!
