THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER VOLUME 7. NUMBER 106. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING; AUGUST 21, 1909. v FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. CLAIMS CHANGE IN GAME LAWS BENEFIT POOR MAN Claim Made by Executive Agent of Game and Fish Com- mission that Change of Open Season for Birds ‘Is Beneficial. Carlos Avery, executive agent of the State Game and Fish commission, has made answer as follows to the article printed in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and reproduced in the Pioneer: ““The only way we can provide any hunting for the poor man is to make game plentiful and any- thing which restricts the shooting will have that effect,’ is the answer of Carlos Avery, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, to the statement made by Deputy County Auditor James Drummond that the new law which makes the season open Sept. 7 in- stead of Sept. 1, hurts the poor man. The reason given was that Labor day, which comes on the first Mon- day in September, gave the ordinary workingman or clerk a holiday of two days or three if he counts Satur- day afternoon, which, would enable him to go for a hunting trip. “The new law makes the season open this year the day after Labor day.” ‘In the first place, said Avery, ‘it is unlawful to hunt on Sunday any- way, as hunting is one of the things prohibited in the Sabboth observ- ance law. But that is not in the game laws, and we have not consid- ered it our duty to enforce that law. If it were enforced it would be one of the greatesr aids in the protection and increase of game. The first bill to change the season for ducks and chicken presented last winter made the season open Sept. 15. Representative Mattson intro- duced that bill. “His idea was that the birds get stronger by that time, the hot weather is over and the harvest is done. In the northern mart of the state, where the best hunting is found, there is often a great deal of grain standing Sept. 1, and. the hunters do considerable - damage going through the fields. “‘Then we learned that North Dakota had passed a law opening the season Sept. 7, and the date in this state was made to correspond, as it is always desirable to have the laws of that character uniform with those of other states.’ “Mr. Avery admitted that the change would prevent a good many hunters from enjoping the double holiday in their favorite sport, but he thought this would be confined to the larger cities, and would not effect the smaller cites and rural districts where Labor day is not ob- served. He thought that it had not occured to the committee in the Jegislature that the change of date would spoil a two-day holiday for many hunters. He tried to figure out that some years Labor day would come after the hunting season, but the best he could figure out was that about every seventh year the man who takes the two-day trip will be allowed to hunt on Monday, but not on Saturday or Sunday.” Business Changes at Kelliher. Kelliher Journal: Last week A. A. Magill the leased the Craig hotel and bar room and will take charge of that hostelry on September 1st.

Andy McNabb, the bonny Scot who has friends by the score, has returned’ from an extended trip through the northwestern states, where, according to his own state- ment, he had “the time of his life,” Mr. McNabb went to the Seattle exposition and saw everything at the “big show” that was worth while; and he says the much-touted exposi- tion will not compare with our own Minnesota State Fair in the matter of exhibits. The most-pleasant feature of the trip was the visit at Muckelteo, Washington, with his aged mother, whom he had not seen for several years. . Mrs. McNabb is still quite hearty, at the advanced age of 92 years. 2 He visited Coeur D’Alene and registered at the drawings of lands, getting “triple O,” as he puts it— being “nit.” At Sand Point, -Idaho, he met several old-time Bemidji friends, by whom he'was giver a royal welcome and treated like a prince.

NEW BRINKMAN THEATER T0 BE OPENED MONDAY Splendid Quadruple Bill of Vaudeville Stars Wi!l Inaugurate Season of Entertainment. The Grand formal opening of the New Brinkman Family' Theater will be held next Monday and Tuesday evenings, when the greatest vaude- ville and moving-picture entertain- ments ever attempted in this part of the state will be given. The new theater, which has been entirely renovated, enlarged and rearranged on the interior, will be completed in every detail, The new commodious stage will be fully equipped with new scenery and the many comfortablé opera chairs will be in use; and every convenience provided by a modern, up-to-date theater will be found at the new Brinkman. Manager Brinkman has provided an exceptionally strong bill for the opening nights. The headliners are the Washer Brothers, the boxing midgets, Europe’s greatest novelty., They are the smallest men on earth, and their actis a side-splitter. Tobie Clark, billed as the cleverest juvenile performer on the American stage, is another special attraction. He is the hitof the season on the vaudevile circuit. | Castellat & Hall, in their laugh- able comedy skit, “A Friend from Wall Street,” will undoubtedly make friends from the start. The skit was written by the famous author, George M. Cohan, and isa laugh-producer, all through. J “The Kentucky Blackbirds,” Kentucky’s champion cakewalkers,] are singing and dancing comedians who come heralded as the best colored people who have ever been on this circuit. The moving pictures will be es- pecially attractive and pleasing, while the illustrated songs will be of the best. t This will give a performance without an equal in northwestern vaudeville, and one that will merit crowds at both performances each night. i There will' be two shows, com- mencing promptly at7:15 p. m.

For the first time in the history of Beltrami county, a regular term of court will be held in the county out- side of the county seat—Bemidji. The term will be held at Baudette, beginning .next Tuesday, and there promises to be considerable litiga- tion. Judge C. W. Stanton of this city will preside. The judge and Clerk of Court Rhoda will go from Bemidji to Baudette by way of International Falls. . The court calendar is being printed, having been closed today. There are eighteen civil cases on the calendar, with no criminal causes to try at this session. The cases are being handled by attorneys living outside Bemidji, with the exception of one Gibbons & Torrance heing counsel in one case. Terms of court for the north end of Beltrami .county were made possible by the passage of a special act of the legislature last winter, whereby one or more terms could be held at Baudette, and if desired the terms could be alternated be- tween the village of Baudette and Spooner, which places are bitter rivals. Because of the difficulty in reach- ing Bemidji from Spooner and Baudette and other northern points, there has been much complaint for the past two years among the north-country people as to the big expense and loss of time in attend- ing court in Bemidji, and the matter took tangible form last winter through the introduction of a bill in the legislature, the bill being ap- proved by the judges of the district court and all the county officers directly affected. Under the provisions of the law, one or more terms may be held each year at Baudette or Spooner, the time and place of holding the terms to be fixed by the judge by _ order made and filed with the clerk of court at least thirty days before the time appointed to hold the term. The business to be brought before the court at these north-country terms shall be such as shall be agreed upon by the parties to the litigation, and in case they cannot agree on the matter the court shall decide, prior to the holding of the term. All appeals from municipal or justice court that are situated north of the 14th standard parallel, being the town line between towns Nos. 156 and 157, shall be tried at Baudette or Spooner, unless by stipulated agreement the parties thereto decide on trying the cases at the county seat. The village of Baudette provides a suitable place for holding the term, without expense to the.county. No jurors are to be chosen from any district south of the 14th standard parallel. SPIENDID SHOWING MADE AT ITASGA STATE PARK Superintendent Heinzelman Has Been Doing Some Good Work At the Douglass Lodge. , Mr. Heinzelman, superintendent of Itasca state park, interviewed by the Clearwater Co.
