DEPARTMENTS GOULD BE UNITED, WITH PROFIT For.eury and Game and Fish Divisions of State Government May Be Consolidated. A telegram from St. Paul, pub- lished in the Duluth News-Tribune, intimates that there is a proposition on foot to consolidate the State Game and Fish department and the Forestry department, There is no doubt but that the v’ Exelusive Send Us Your Mail Orders Few stores are as well equipped as ours, to please their patrons, and have at all times, things worthy of their patronage. end in view, we have succeeded in securing the very best lines possible.

Many of the game wardens who are employed in the north half of the state are experienced cruisers and \_ J | timber men and are at home at all times in the woods. The telegram referred to is as fol- lows: ] Send Us Your Mail Orders “One of the most far-reaching changes proposed in the govern- mental affairs of the state recently is that of consolidating the forestry commissioner’s department with that of the state game and fish com™ mission, with a view to improving the service in the former department and at the same time accomplishing the desired results at a great saving compared to what it would cost otherwise. “In many states these two depart- ments are combinad and the results are said to be very satisfactory, both from a financial and practical stand- po‘ilnt. The present appropriation for the forestry commission permits of no field workers. The enforcement of the laws against starting forest fires is entrusted to the village presidents and town supervisors. Very few of these men do much active work. The fish and game commission has many paid deputies in . the: comstant employ of the board. They make reports every day and have been very effective in checking illegal hunting and fishing. “Officials of the fish and game commission say that while their deputies are ranging the woods | hunting for men with deer meat out of season, they can at the same time use their eyes for violations of the forestry Jaws. - Preventive work in the forests is badly needed -and various state officers say that it can best be accomplished by the consolidation of these boards.” With this X A4 L Subscribe for The Pioneer. ‘ Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Coats ‘ Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s Overcoats BEMIDJI, FRIDAY WEEK END 1 case of 6¢c domet flannel, limit 310 10 yards to a customer,per yd........ 2 1000 yards of 10c and 12c outing 80 flannel, short lengths, per yd......... 1 lot of $1.50 a yard dress goods, extra heavy. suitable for girl’s coats, 590 per yd $1.79 1 lot of ladies’ Munsing union suits, small sizes, $2.25 and $2.50 $l 79 1 lot of ladies’ heavy fleeced $2 00 and $2.50 wrappers each values, a suit... a pair......

The Minneapolis Tribune of yesterday states that Judge C. W. Stanton, non-partisan candidate for election as judge, will contest the election of B. F. Wright, The Tribune says: -“Claiming that the vote of five to six precincts in Kaochiching county was not canvassed by the can- vassing board, thus reducing his probable majority in that district, Judge C. W. Stanton, candidatd for re- election in the Fifteenth judicial district has given notice of contest against B. F. Wright. The official returns which reached St. Paul yestereay show that Wright was elected by a majority of 64. Stanton ran as a non- partisan and Wright as the regular nomineg of the Republican party.” —_— BRAINERD TEAM CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP “BUNGH” Brainerd High School Football Eleven Has Made Splendid Record.— Handed Bemidji Defeat The Brainerd high school football ball team claims the championsnip of north Central Minnesota. They have played six games this season without suffering defeat. Twice have they defeated the Aitkin team, twice vanquished Little Falls, beaten Be- midji once and tied with the St. Cloud team with a score of O to 0. St. Cload will play a return game in this city Thanksgiving. The. Brain- erd team would consider a proposi- tion for.a game with one ot the Du luth or twin city high school teams. —Brainerd Tribune. The Brainerd team may appear to be the champion high school foot-| ball team, but there are other teams in this “neck o’ the woods” which are just as good. While the Bemidji boys have said but little of the game which they lost at Brainerd, it is known that they- were given a pretty rotten deal down there. Parties who saw the game claim that the Brainerd boys were allowed to back through the crowd of Jocal enthusiasts on a forward pass, the crowd hindering the Bemidji tackle from landidg the man with the ball. Efforts have been made to secure a return game to be played here with Brainerd, but all overtures to the Crow Wing county champions have been of no avail. Local people believe that Bemidji high school team, in its present con- dition, can hold its own with any team in northern Minnesota. In their game against Grand Rapids, last Saturday, they played all around the “Rapids” bunch. The boys have tried to arrange for at least one more game before the season closes, but the East Grand Forks team has retused to play here, as has also Brainerd and Grand Rapids. The Fosston team has dis- banded, so it is not likely that there will be any more high school foot- ball games this year for Bemidji. Commissioners’ Meeting.

Among the successful hunting parties which have returned to the city was that headed by E. E. McDonala, which included Dr. Howard Lancaster of St. Paul, and his son, who were out for a week. This party hunted on ‘‘Mac’s” farm, near Fowlds, which is one of the best hunting grounds of the state. Both the doctor and his son were successful in bringing down a deer and they were very proud of their success in getting what they came after. The docter and his son returned to their home at St. Paul yesterday noon and took their deer with them. Warrants Payable.
