THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE Historical Society: ~A VOLUME 7. NUMBER 169. ‘BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1909. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. OPEN SEASON FOR KILLING DEER AND MOOSE, NOV. 10 Indications Are that Deer Will Be More Plentiful This Fall than for Many, Years Previous.—Muskrat Season, November 15. The open season for lawfully killing deer and moose opens'Wed- nesday, November 10, and lasts to and including November 30th; and already local hucters are looking up locations where there will be advantage in getting the "'big game.” That much more interest than in former years is being taken in hunt- ing big game in this section is shown by the large number of in- quiries which local parties are re- ceiving from residents of other parts of Minnesota, and also from non- residents, asking as to the prospects for good hunting. Reports from farmers in the wooded sections, lumbermen and timber cruisers are to the effect that this community was never so plenti- fully supplied with deer asat the present time, refuting the prediction that the deer disappear with the advent of settlers, While this is true as to cleared communities, yet the wooded sections are still in- habited by the deer, in large numbers. There has been some conflict of opinion as to whether the law as now construed required that all hunters, whether hunting in their own counties or elsewhere, shall procure licenses. The law states in one section that the license provision shall not “apply to any resident of said county.” In another section the law provides that all persons shall procure licenses ‘‘as provided by this chapter.” It 1s generally believed that no license is required to hunt in one’s own county. The law this season covers the same ground as last year. Each hunter (when the proper license is secured) is allowed to hunt, kill and ship two deer, of either sex, and one moose, and the moose must be “A MALE ANTLERED MOOSE.” There has been some confusion as to whether a hunteris permitted to killa cow moose, this season, be- cause of the fact that Representa- tive Opsahl of Bemidji introduced a bill at the last session of the legisla- ture, permitting the killing of one moose, of either sex. The bill was killed, and the law remains as here- tofore, allowing the killing of one moose, “male antlered.” Trapping Season, Nov. 15. Something of a controversy has arisen among local trappers as to what is the lawful time in which muskrat, mink and other fur-bear- ing-animals may be trapped in pur-|. suance to the state law regulating the open season for these animals. Last winter, the legislature adopted two laws relative to this matter. One of them, known as *‘Chapter 317—H. F. No. 518,” was approved April 21, 1909. The other, “Chapter 412—S. F. No. 321,” was approved April 22, 1909. “H. F. No. 518” provides that no person shall take, catch or kill any mink, muskrat or racoon between the first day of May and the first day of November, following. ‘s, F. No. 321” provides that no person shall cafch, take or kill beaver at any time, or mink or muskrat between the 15th day of April and the 15th day of Novem- ber, following; and that no person [Continued on Last Page.] . % { Copyright 1909 by Hare Schaffuer & Mare | OU'LL find that our idea in doing the business in this store is to see that you get just what you want; and to take par- ticular care to have it here for you when you come.

Strachan having resigned as superintendent to accept service with another company, that office will be abolished. Those who for- merly reported to him will, hereafter, report to the general manager. “Effective this date, Mr. G. H. Warner is appointed trainmaster and Mr. E. L. Orth, chief dispatcher, with offices in Brainerd. ~ In speaking of the change, where- by Mr. Strachan goes up higher in railway circles, the Brainerd Dis- ratch says: “Mr. Strachan, who has served so long and so efficiently as superin- tendent, has been exceptionally popular, not only with the railroad men, but with the general publié and all regret to see him leave, even though they rejoice in his advancement. “The promotion of Mr. Warner and Mr. Orth, are also merited by long and efficient service and their many friends will congratulate them heartily on their good fortune. Mr. Strachan entered the employ of the M. & L. Railway company in 1902 and has served very accept- ably in that capacity since his first entrance into the service. Mr. Strachan is a thorough rail- road man—understands the rail- road business from the switch-key to the general manager’s office; and he has the pecular faculty of possessing the confidence and esteem of every employe from section man to general manager. Mr. Strachan was very popular in Bemidji, and his departure from this section is a matter of sincere regret to people in all walks of life here.

Thompson, from a second-story window, ordered the crowd to dis- perse and when they did not he fired two shots from a gun into the air. This only caused the continu- ance of the sounds with renewed vigor and Thompson finally fired the shot into the crowd. The bullet struck Hazel Farrier in the arm, passing through her side, causing a serious wound. The girl was taken to Winnipeg for medical treatment.

Haircut Now Costs 35 Cents. Beginning with next Monday, the price of a haircut in the barber shops of Bemidji will be 35 cents, this agreement having been reached by the proprietors of the six barber shops at a meeting which was held Tuesday night. This action was taken because it was deemed necessary on the part of the barbers. They state that the advance in the price charged for the rent of shops and other high ex- penses made conditions such that more revenue was necessary in order to conduct barber business success- fully. It is also stated that the barbers in other towns are charging 35 cents for haircuts. Soo Contributions. Previously reported........ $14,970.09 those who have purchased tickets W. A.
