FORTY CENTS PER MONTH HOOK-AND-LINE FISHING SEASON “ON” TOMORROW Enthusiastic Angler May Eat Snowballs and Cut Bait, Without Fear of the Game Warden in Such Case Made and Provided. T IU T The lawfil season for catching | fish with a hook and line opens to-| morrow (Saturday, May 1), at which time all kinds of fish which inhabit the waters of Minnesota, | with the exception of bass, may be caught with a hook and line without | danger of interference or interrup-i tion by the game warden. ~(The! season for catching black, grey or | Oswego bass does not open until| May 29.) | The fishing season this year hasi been very backward and there are | severallakes'in Beltrami county which are still partially filled with ice. All of the streams, however, which form inlets and outlets of the lakes are| clear of ice and good fishing may be had in these streams. According to S. C. Bailey, the | local warden for the State Game & Fish Commission, there have been no fish running this spring with the| exception of suckers and pickerel;‘ but few pike have yet started to move, the cold weather and ice- bound lakes causing the pike to keep to the deep water. This condition of affairs has caused a delay 1n the spawning season and undoubtedly any pike which are caught during the next week will be found to be full of spawn. It is doubtful if the pike will spawn for at least two weeks. This backward season will not have effect on bass if there is a decided radical change in the tem- perature during the month. There is scarcely a big body of water of any kind in Beltrami county but what are fairly well inhabited by pike, which is one of the best fish to be caught in these northern waters. There is splendid}fishing at different pointsin Lake Bemidji for pike, perch, rock bass and pickerel, which is true of all the other lakes in this vicinity. While there is yery little bass fishing in Lake Bemidji, there are many lakes close to this city where black bass abound and many fine catches are made. This is espec- jally true of Big and Little Bass lakes, which are but a short dis- tance from the northeast shore of Lake Bemidji. But a few changes in the game and fish laws were made during the last session of the state legislature. The size of the fish which can be caught remains the same, as follows: No fish less than six inches in length can be taken or had in possession or under control for any purpose whatever, except minnows for bait, rock bass, sun-fish and bull- heads; and the laws specifically state that no person shall take, kill, have in possession for sale orintent of selling, offer or expose for sale or have in possession or control, for any purpose whatever, any lake trout or whitefish of less than two pounds, round or undressed weight; or one and one-half pounds dressed weight; or any walleyed pike of less than fourteen inchesin length or one pound round or undressed weiget, any muskelunges less than twenty inches in length; or any black pike or saugers of less than ten inches in length; measures in 3 Country School Program Fine, Postmaster Erickson has received aletter from his daughter, Nellie, who is teaching school at Otto, west of Kelliher, telling of a very success- ful entertainment and basket social held in her school last Friday evening. Miss Erickson had drilled the pupils and the different numbers on the program were carried off in fine shape. A large crowd was present and the teacher was the recipient of many commendatory remarks on the excellent showing made by her pupils. A fish pond was placed in one of the room and the baskets were auctioned off to the men, the bidding being vigorous and partici- pated in by a large number of young | fellows. Coffee was served to the guests with their baskets of lunch and all had a most enjoyable time. The entire proceeds of the en- tertainment amounted to $47.80 which will be used for the benefit of the school. Bemidji may well feel proud of such an industrious and successful young school ma’am.

EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ““Booster,” in His Usual Weekly Letter, Tells of the Hap- penings Among the Scholars.—Much Interest Shown in Educational Work. (Continued from Yesterday.) Don’t forget the baseball game Saturday. Amanda Klien has been among the absent during the week. John DeRushie, a pupil in the eighth grade, did not attend school Monday. Miss Geaves’ class in accient his- tory is becoming quite expert in map drawing. Ross Weekly returned to school Wednesday after an absence of several days. Maude McCawley, an eight grade student, did not attend school several i days this week. The boys of the eighth grade have Clot Good hing House Clothes and Nothing Else i Vi Copright 1909 by Hart Schaffner & Marz you may have it all figured out just who’s you may be posted on “form” and have the Men are like that about clothes as well as baseball; some are over-critical, some are careless, but tne great big majority of us want good clothes; and want to be sure of getting them. We've got the right things for all of these men, the critical, the indifferent, the sensible. They’re Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes and they meet every requirement that can be fairly made of clothes. They’re stylish; they’re made of the best of all-wool fabrics; they’re tailored in the most perfect manner known to the craft; they're right; and we know it. We sell them because they're right; for you and for us. You should wear Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes for your own sake; for the satisfaction of having such clothes; for the economy of quality, and style, and correct fit; you can do it for $18 to $30. \ This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes organized a baseball team and are arranging a schedule of games. The pupils of Miss Nelson’s room, under the direction of Miss Donald- son, are doing some raffia work. The students of the eight-grade have started work on their class play, the “Masque of Columbus.” The new baseball suits have arrived and the boys wore them for the first time at practice Wednesday. Carl Ocre and Robert Nealstead, two new students have been en- tertained in Miss Diment’s room. At a baseball meeting held last evening Warren Gill was elected captain of the high school baseball nine for the ensuing year. The Girls’ Glee club, under the direction of Miss Hanson, is practic- ing steadily on special music which will be sung on commencement night. Manager Casler’s “Lemons” gave the high school team a set back Friday of last week, when his team of “once-was” defeated them by a score of 8 to 4. Casler’s coaching was easily the feature of the contest. The interest of our students in the Philomatian and Kappa Gamma Chi literary societies is very gratifying and justifies our emphatic opinion that Bemidji will soon develop talent that will readily capture first place atall high school contests. Professor Biddinger claims that the reason the Senior-Sophomore nine came out victorious in the recent baseball game with the Junior- Freshmen team is that a majority of their players are members of his famous plane geometry class. The members of the Senior class who will graduate in June are: Clara Elizabeth Fisk, Helmer Victar Kruse, Selma Margaret Witting, Olaf Humdrom, Katherine Arabelle Neal, Ethel L. Knox, Florence R. Weekly; Hazel Helen Wells, Ida Hendrick- son, Amanda Klien, Rachel Eleanor Rakerd, Signe Virginia Wallin and Elisa Brondby. Emil Engels, manager of the base- ball team, assisted by several other high school boys, circulated a petition_ on Tuesday among the local business men to raise funds for the purpose of enabling the manage- ment to secure uniforms for the nine and $52.50 was secured. The boys of the high school are indeed thank- ful to the business men' of our city for the liberal manner in which they donated to the baseball fund. The Philomathian Literary Society held its first debate last Friday, the subject being: “Re- solved that the Study of Language is More Beneficial than the study of Mathematics” Paul Winebrenner and Grant Gill spoke for tbe affirma. tive side ofthe question, while Elmer Hilliard and Alfred Neuman upheld that of the negative. All four de- baters introduced some splendid arguments for their respective sides of the question and it was not be- fore somewhat lengthy discussion that the judges decided in favor of the negative. Fire Last Evening. Spontaneous combustion among some oily rags caused a fire last evening in a corner of the blacksmith shop behind the City Livery, but the fire department responded promptly and the conflagration was quickly extinguished. Moral: Insure with the T.J. Miller Insurance agency of Bemidji. High Mass Sunday. Rev. Father O’Dwyer wishes to inform the congregation of the St. Philiph’s church that high mass will be celebrated in the church at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. ~—Rev. John O’Dwyer, pastor.
