SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM HAMBERLAIN ll COUGH L SHOULD COMBINE DEPARTMENTS. A telegram from St. Paul says of the proposition to combine the Game and Fish and the Forestry departments of the state govern- ment into one bureau; also as toa universal hunting license which it is again intended to introduce in the legislature to become a law: “A universal hunting license to cost all residents of Minnesota, who hunt within the confines of the state, $1, and the merging of the fish and game commission with the bureau of forestry, making the nev board the forest fish and game commission, are among tme propositions which will be laid before the state legisla- ture at the coming session. Under the present law, sportsmen pay $1 for a license only when they wish to hunt outside their home county. Under the proposed law they will pay the same fee to hunt within their home county. “One hundred thousand Minne- sotans annually try their luck in the fields after small game or in the woods after large game. Under the present law only about 20,000 pay licenses, this number representing those who journey beyond their immediate neighborhood into other counties. “We are willng to waive the annual appropriation of $35,000 for maintenance of our department if the proposed law is passed,’ said Carlos Avery, secretary of the state game and fish commission, yester- day. “I also hope to see the law changed which permits a non-resi- dent hunter to kill one moose and one deer and to ship home the deer, but not the moose. This it seems to me is inconsistent,’ said Mr. Avery. “Relative to merging the forestry bureau with the fish and game com- mission, Mr. Avery expressed the opinion that by making the game wardens forest and fire wardens, as well, and by increasing the money devoted to salaries of regular employes of the commission, much better and much more efficient work in the prevention of forest fires could be accomplished.” At the last session of the legisla- ture (two years ago) the Game and Fish Commission attempted to have a universal license law adopted, and the claim was made at that time that if such a law were passed the sum derived from licenses would be sufficient to pay all the running expenses of the commission —would make the department prac- tically self-sustaining. If this law was adopted, the $35,000 appropria- tion which is now given each year, could be diverted toward preserving the forests of the state, by prevent- ing forest fires. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] (Dedicated to our old friend, “Growler” Allen.) THE GOOD FRIENDS. Brother, its the good friends, the good friends and true, That makes the world a living place for me and for you— The triends that's yours in sorrow and the friends thats your’s in joy, All make for you a fortune that nothing can destroy. It's many of them likes you when fortune wears her smile, But when your luck’s against you their friend- ship ain't in style. You can not be blaming them, however, 1 suppose— For they're the kind o’ people that’s friendly to good clothes. There's some that’s friendly to you for what thay get from you, Butthank the Lord such people is mostly mighty few! Let them go on so friendly to dollar and to gem; As soon as you've lest 'em, you're better off than them, There's just a few you can count on, through shadow and through shine. 1 sometimes think it is part of the heavenly design Togive us just a few friends, and make 'em be the best, With hearts that are so loyal they're too big for the breast. 8o when you've got a good friend, you keep him all the time— He'll catch you when you stumble and help you when you climb, An’ if you win, or suffer, because o’ fortune’s whim, He's just as glad or sorry as you would be for him, Brother, it's the good friends, the good triends and true, That makes the world a livin' place for me an’ for you— The frlend that's yours in sorrow an’ the friend that your’s in joy, All make you a fortune that nothin’ can destroy.

While the postoffice department is more closely allied with the in- terests and every-day life of the masses of the people than any other branch of the general government, than any one other business in the various communities, there is a greater lack of information upon postal affairs than almost any other subject. Though a monthly and annual official guide is furnished by the department to its army of em- ployes, and applicable largely to them only, probably not one person in a thousand outside the mail ser- vice sees a copy of either once a year. “There are many things the public should know about postal affairs, and have no means of learn- ing except by inquiring of their postmaster, whose answers must frequently be hurriedly given, per- haps unsatisfactory even to himself, and fhe information thus obtained |iss. is liable to be forgotten, confused or misconstrued the next time needed. “To remedy this evil, by attempt- ing to answer in concise form, the questions most frequently asked at postoffice windows, also to materially assist you in the instructions called for by the department, I have pre-|§ pared tbe following for your mfor- mation and guidance: “1. Delivery of Mail Matter.— This subject is thoroughly covered by Sec. 633 to Sec. 658 P. L. and |§ R.“0£ 1902, 2. Classification of Mail Matter. —A phamphlet of general postoffice information has been issued for free distribution to the public through postmasters. It contains the classi- fication, conditions and postage rates, for domestic and foreign mail matter. A sufficient number of these pamphlets in connection with the July supplement, are at your disposal. “3. Registry and Money Order Systems.—These two branches are special teatures of the U. S. Postal |§ Service, and are covered extensively in the phamphlet of information mentioned above, Section 20 to 24, also in detail and at length in the P. L. and R. of 1902. ‘4, Proper Addressing of Letters |3 and Importance of Placing of Re- turn Cards.—The proper addressing of a letter, paper or package for mailing may to many seem so simple as to need no mention in a work of this kind, but those in tle mail service who haudle . thousands of articles daily will testify that there is a pressing need of teaching that very thing, by placing the sender’s name in the upper left- hand corner of the letter, package or paper mailed, insures promt return of mail matter sent which could not be delivered. “Employes at the postoffice, as well as myself, will give you every assistance to carry out the instruc- tions of the department. . “Very respectfully, A.

RELATIONS BADLY- STRAINED Engineers on the Pennsylvania Rail- road May Go Out. Pittsburg, Dec. 2—While. it is not belleved the trouple: between. the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Pennsylvania raflroad will re- sult in a strilke on_the lines west of Pittsburg it is apparent that relations are serjously strained. General Manager W. W. Atterbury of the Pennsylvania railroad has ar- rived here from the East, accompanied by General Superintendent R. B. Mc- Carthy of the Panhandle division. Aside from stating he was here to look after some railroad business Gen- eral Manager Atterbury refused to talk. The men asserted that their gen- eral beard has not been given proper recognition in efforts to settle griev- ances, while the company maintains that the difference is entirely over a matter of discipline. Several days ago a strike vote was taken, but be- fore the result of the vote was an- nounced it was decided to submit the case to the board of mediation, which will hold a number of conferences dur- ing this week in Washington.

Good clothes and poor—wool clothes and shoddy —have a2 way of looking good in the store. But the Fall or Winter suit or overcoat which wears, stays fresh looking, holds its color and its shape —thatwillgive you the actual worth of your money— must be genuine wool. No shoddy cot- ton takes wool’s place—that’s flat —don’t get fooled. If you do, then you are just as lia- ble to be fooled on Jmmgs, or rightde- sign or workman- ship. CLOTHCRAFT clothes are perfec- tion—wool and otherwise. Then besides clothes de- signed right, cut right and made right, you want clothes of right material—of wool. CLOTHCRAFT suits and overcoats are the only ones in the United States _selling for $10 to $25 and guaranteedallwool. Then they are rightin every other way—in style, cut, finish and fit. You can be sure that the CLOTH- CRAFT suit or overcoat which seems right when you buy it will prove right in the wear—in your wear. All wool quality and low price. This is the win- ning combination you’ll find in CLOTHCRAFT. Schneider Bros. GAR-GO cures S it THROAT OWL DRUG STORE, BEMIDJI, MINN.
