The Pioneer has received a letter from Carlos Avery, executive agent for the State Game and Fish com- mission, in which Mr. Avery sum- marizes the changes made in the game laws by the recent state legis- lature. The principal amendments are as follows: “Chapter 32 provides for leasing privileges in lakes within limits of cities of twenty to fifty thousand. “Chapter 54 permits licensing of seines for taking carp, dogfish gar- fish, buffalo and suckers, in inland waters. “Chapter 65 provides that pound nets in the Mississippi river and Lake St. Croix shall be set not less (1,000) feet apart, leads not to extend nearer than five hundred (500) feet from the middle of the stream. “Chapter 66 requires a license of non-resident trappers, for $10 per annum. “Chapter 102 prohibits hunting |- rabbits with ferrets in Hennepin county. g “Chapter 171 provides that all State Forest Reserve lands or parks, and National forest lands shall be game preserves, and that the Game and Fish Commission may extend the boundaries of such preserves. "Charter 282 changes opening of hunting season for birds from September 1st, to September 7th. “Chapter 288 prohibits hunting from motor boats, launches or sail boats. "Chapter 346 provides that all fishing may be prohibited in trout streams so designated by the county commissioners of any county, except during the open season for trout fishing. “Chapter 376 extends fish house license privileges to interstate waters and provides that the Game and Fish commission may issue such licenses at its discretion. “Chapter 403 prohibits the sale of wall-eyed pike caught in waters stocked by the State Game & Fish commission, B . “Chapter 453 prohibits fishing within fifty feet of a fishway. “Chapter 501 amends Mississippi and interstate fishing laws to pro- vide a close season during April and May, extending protection to all varieties of bass, pike, perch, sunfish and croppies. Allows licens- ing of set lines for catching catfish and sturgeon and changing regula- tions for tags and license fees.” In all other respects the laws in regard to hunting and fishing remain the same as heretofore. Despite the ukase issued by the State Game and Fish commission, forbidding spring shooting of ducks, the temptation is great, when a flock of blue-bills are swimming in the open water, adjoining the solid ice in Lake Bemidji, not a hun- dred feet from the city dock These ducks are the birds that are “Chapter 190 amends white fish"flying north.

CHINESE YOUTH ARRESTED California Officials* Frustrate At tempted Abduction. ‘Watsonville, Cal, May 1—An at- tempt to abduct and hold for ransom the fourteen-year-old grandson of Mrs. John P. Porter, mother of Warren R. Porter. lieutenant governor of Call- fornia, was frustrated by placing a decoy package at the spot where the money was ordered hidden and the capture of a well educated Chinese boy who formed the plan of abduc- tion. A letter was dropped in the mail box at the Porter home which in- formed Mrs. Porter that if a consid- erable sum of money was not placed beneath an old bridge in the neigh- borhood on the following day her grandson would be abducted. A package supposed to contain the money was made up and placed un- der the bridge, with officers secreted in the neighborhood of the bridge. ‘Wing Kee, a seventeen-year-old son of Dr. Lee Wah, a wealthy Chinese resident of this place, was captured ‘when he came for the package. ‘When the lad was brought before Eieutenant Governor Porter a confes- slon was elicited from him and he| was taken to Salinas, where a hear | ing of the case was had and the boy ‘was committed to the reform school | at Ione. TO HANDLE WHEAT EXPORTS Big Elevators Unnecessary at Pacifia Coast Terminals. Winnipeg, Man., May 1.—William ‘Whyte, second vice president of the Canadian Pacific railway, does not favor building terminal grain ele | vators at Vancouver or Pacific coast | cities for handling Western grain shipments to Europe and the Orient. On returning from his visit to Port- land, Ore., where he studied methods in vogue ther, he said: “I do not think tern: nal grain ele- t are neces- sary. In fact, T t it inadvisable to build an During my trip to the coast I ted Portland and other shipping points and noticed that grain, especially wheat, can be best shipped in sacks and have arrived at the con- clusion that large elevators are un- necessary. What is more required is @ large warehouse and more dockage space to properly take care of all shipments tendered us from the West. The shippers of Portland told me the best way to ship wheat was in sacks or bags and their past experience has convinced me they are right.” HOLLANDERS ARE REJOICING Queen Wilhelmina Gives Birth to a Daughter. The Hague, May 1.—Queen Wil helmina has given birth to a daughter. A salute of fifty guns announced the event to the waiting populace. Great rejoicing extends over the kingdom and the people, who have been on the alert for an heir to the house of Orange-Nassau, are wild with enthusiasm. The Hollanders would have pre- ferred a prince, but the perpetuation of the line of Wilhelmina’s family is reasonably assured and her subjects are happy. The queen and the princess are re- ported to be doing well. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, April 20.—Wheat— May, $1.23%; July, $1.23%.
