THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER VOLUME 5. NUMBER 271. Historical Society. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1908. MINNESOTA FORTY CENTS PER MONTH GAME WARDENS’ MEETING WAS HIGHLY INTERESTING Wardens of State, at St. Paul, Went on Record as Favor- ing “Universal License” Law, Protection of Fish in Great Lakes, Ete. The meeting of the game war-| dens of the state, which was held at St. Paul Tuesday, was a very successful one, in every respect. Some thirty-seven wardens were present, and the members of the state game and Fish Commission were on hand, to see to it that “‘the boys” were properly cared for. The papers which were read by the different wardens were product- ive of much that was good, and all were of surprising excellence, and brought out some discussion that showed plainly that the class of men who are now enforcing the provisions of the state game and fish laws are possessed of more than the average executive ability. In fact, the meeting was one of the most harmonious, good-natured gatherings it has been the fortune of the writer to attend. Strong resolutions were adopted at the meeting, as follows: “Resolved, by the game wardens of the State of Minnesota, in conven- tion assembled: “First, That the rapid depletions of the commercial fishing in our Great Lakes calls for vigorous measures from every citizen of this state as to their protection; that| while the federal government has propagated the fish and planted them, the states interested have not appreciated the responsibility placed upon them, and have utterly failed to protect such fish, by allowing them to be caught in the spawning season and before they mature. Be it further “Resolved, That we believe that federal control is the only salvation of this problem, as well as the prob- lem of saving our migratory birdson their way north to the breeding ground, because we know from per- sonal experience that we can never get all the states interested on these great questions. “Resolved further, That we call upon our congressmen and senators to use every means to bring this about; “Resolved further, That we desire at this time to extend our sincere thanks to Executive Agent Avery and other members of the state game and fish commission for their happy thought in calling this meeting and bringing together the different war- dens so that they could compare notes and discuss various matters of interest to all; and we believe that the meeting will result in much good for the enforcement of the game and fish laws now on our statute books and those that may be enacted here- after and we sincerely hope that the meetine will be made a yearly affair hereafter. ““That seeing the benefits of arti- ficial propagation over the natural way of replenishing our lakes and streams, ““ Be it further resolved, That we call on our senate and house mem bers to encourage in every way the- establishment of more fish hatch- eries and the setting aside of more money for the propagation of our food and game fishes, believing, as we do, that for every dollar ap- propriated by the State of Minne-‘ nesota ten dollars will be returned to the citizens. “That with the march of civili- zation and the increase of popula- tion a great many of éur game birds Continued on Last Page Money Cheerfully R efunded V27 07% Clothing House can mer, now. ‘weaves., that are w Trousers.

The regular meeting of the Bemidji Elks lodge which will be held this evening promises to be one of the very best sessions of the lodge since its organization. J. Henry Guerin of Little Falls, district deputy for northern Minne- sota, will make an official visit to the lodge and there will be some other “doings” that will be of more than ordinary interest to the breth- ren. Brother Guerin is accredited with being one of the ‘‘livest” mem- bers of the antlered herd in the state, and he is expected to show a few “new ones.” And incidentally, so we are told, “Farmer” Jester has got some up-to-the-minute matters that will be worth hearing. Not the least of the good things in storeis a “tamarack. supper’— one of those kind of feeds where every “browser” gets his nose into the trough. All local, as well as visiting, Elks should be on hand tonight. IMPORTANT RULING MADE BY U. 8. LAND OFFIGE All Citizenship Papers Must Be Taken Out in County Where Applicant Resides. Since the change in the law in 1906 as to the manmer of persons declaring their intention to become citizens of the United States and to become citizens, the idea has been that such declaration of intention to become full citizens might be in any part of the judicial district in which the applicants resided. Recently the Department of Commerce and Labor, having control of all matters in reltaion to citizenship, has ruled that declaration to become a citizen must be made in the county wherein the applicant resides, and all pro- ceedings taken to become citizens o the United States must be made in the county in which the applicant is an actual resident. It appears that all papers taken out, whether declaration of intention or final papers, in counties other than those in which the applicant resided, are void. The land office at Crookston, re- cently had to deny homestead entry by Ingeborg Olson of Baudette, because she declared her intention in Koochiching county, in place of in Beltrami county.—Ex.

The Mohr-McMillian entertainers come to this city well recommended as first-class entertainers in all respects. Miss Florence Jerome Mohr has no superior as a story teller imper- sonator and reader. She has a facinating stage presence aud you could not help but appreciate her clever work. Miss Marie Marquis, who is a brilliant young American singer— destined some day to be a Nordica or Melba, sings a number at each performance. The entertainment is one of the best ever produced in Bemidji and the company comes well recom- MErErrCrEATIAI BAAF BELTRAMI COUNTY GETS . $14000 FOR HIGHWAYS $72,650 Divided According to Amount of Work to Be Done on Roads. St. Paul Pioneer Press: The state highway commission yesterday ap- portioned $72,650 to the various counties of the state to assistin the construction of roads during 1908. The money will be expended on designated state roads, the counties agreeing to expend twice the amount allowed by the highway “commission in each case. This money will be spent on roads built according to specifications approved by the com- mission and designed to insure good, permanent roads. In most cases, the counties will receive the amount asked for in re- sponse to a letter receutly sent to the couty auditors requesting infor- mation as to the amount the coun- tics intoud to speud On ocdl€ Toads this year. In some case, however, the amount asked for had to be re- duced owing to the constitutional requirement that all counties must be included in the apportionment and fixing 2 minimun of one-half of 1per cent of the entire fund for each countv. This makes the mini- mum allowance this year $350, which was made to all counties from which no requests for a share of the fund had been received. The con- stitutional amendment which will be voted on this fall eliminates this re- striction, so thatif the amendment is adopted the fund can be used to better advantage, because then all of it will be distributed among the counties which are prepared to make use of it. Under the present sys- stem, the minimum apportionment made in any year remains to the credit of the county indefinitely and cannot be used for anv other pur- pose. The highest amount which the commission was able to appor- tion to any county was $2,100, own- Murray,$500;Nicollet,$1,000;Nobles, $500; Norman, $850; Olmsted,$1,800; Pine, $1,000; Pipestone,$1,200; Polk, $1,000; Ramsey; $2,100; Red Lake, $1,300; Redwood, $1,300; Roseau, $1,200; St. Louis, $2,100; Sherburne, $1,200; Sibley, $700; Stearns, $1,800; Steele, $500; Swift, $1,000; Todd, $1,000; Traverse, $1,200; Wabasha, $1,200; Wadena, $500; Washington, $700; Winona, $1,000; Wright, $1,000.

This fund is in addition to the reg- ular road and bridge appropriation passed by the legislature, amount- ing to $20,000, which was appor- tioned to the several counties by the legislature and over which the highway commission has no control. ‘The reports of the amount counties expect to expend on road work this year shows that a Targe amount of this work will be done, St. Louis county reporting an expected ex- penditure of $115,000, Hennipin county $83,000 and Ramsey county $75,000, while some of the other counties also reported large amounts.
