‘ ; 4 ell Ni ¢ 5 ys ea tao MONDAY, MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1997 WOLF BOUNTY LAW 18: SAVED APTER DEBATE Vote ‘on scclchi Minto —Westernerd Favor It, Easterners Want Repeal * Continuation of the ‘state bounty on wolves and coyotes was voted Sat- urday by the state house of repre- sentatives following the first general debate of the session. After a score of, menibers had. expressed their views, a roll calf showed a vote of 71 to 35 with seven members. absent. The vote came | following reco mendation by the ways and means committee of a bill to abblish the bounty. A minority report urged de- feat of the repeal law. The minority repo’ fe was approved and the bill was “indefinitely postponed.” Opening the fight for the repeal ménsure N. H. Lynch, Richland coun- ty, pointed out that an appropriation of $140,000°is asked for the wolf bounty at this session and that a deficit of $22,000 e: despite an appropriation of $60,000 last, y: ‘The state could save money, he said,|, by leaving the question of bounties to the counties, The hides of wolves bring from $10 to $20, he said, and experience shows that more males are killed than females. Professional wolf hunters do not kill the females, he said, and the result is that the! state is subsidizing an industry. J. H. McCay, Sioux county, chal- leneged Lynch’s statement as to the price paid for hides, saying $% was top price for a first.grade skin, Re- ferring to Lynch’s ‘statement that most of the bounty money is paid to} persons in western counties, McCay | demanded to knew if the western| part of the state is not,to be con- sidered as being, in North Dakota. Sioux county, he said, is not able to pay a bounty but insisted that if western farmers are to continue raising pigs, sheep and turkeys the| coyotes and wélves. must be kept down, The “talk of. killing only males’ is bunkg’ he said and added that the amount asked is-small com-; dam now in pured to appropriations for. various state institutions, Twichell Rapped Down Joining the fight for repeal of the bounty L. L. Twichell, majority floor leader, pointed to the increasing cost of the bounty as a reason for dis- continuing it. It began with a $40,- 000 appropriation in 1919 and has been growing larger ever since, he said. He predicted that a deficit of $867000 would exist by July 1 of this “year and asked the members how far they wanted td go with the Proposi- tion. F, Ferris, Nelson county, attacked Twichell’s figures and an argument ensued in which Speaker Carr rapped Twichell down for being out of order. ~ R. Bubel, Oliver county, said he is against the bounty because certain persons are shipping in the hidos of wolves killed in‘Montana and col- lecting the North Dakota bounty. C. N. Lee, Oliver county, contended that the bounty law no longer js nec- essary since the wolves have been so reduced in number thatshey can be controlled without. it. D: L. Peters, Pierce county, took{ issue with his party chieftain, point- ing out that the large amount spent. was evidence of the need for con-| tinuing the bounty and evidence that the wolves need “cleaning out.” Coun- ty bounties would be useless, he con- tended, because wolves travel fast and counties which gave bounties would only bear the burden for their neighbors. Pointing te the large ap- propriations for the various divisions! of the agricultural college, Pete: asked “What good does it do to tell the farmers how to farm if we allow wolves to kill the livestock? The money paid for bounties is small com- pared to the losses. which yould be incurred unlegs wolves were kept down.” Diversification of . agricul- ture, he said, means more turkeys, sheep and other stqck which must be protected from wolves. Favors Dog Tax G. W. Hoffman, Pembina county, said dogs arexilling more sheep than are wolvew: in: his courity and asked op idégetax, themoney tp go into a fund to pay farmers for sheep killed by them. He contended?that a bounty is unnecessary since the people would hunt down the wolves as a matter of course. J.T. Fettig, Pierce county, con- tended that the hides of wolves are worthless in the spring and that welf pups are reared at that season when farmers are too busy to hunt them. R. 0.

Bill ifiremen's tournamynts thing of the past, at least not in North Dakota. Recogni nm of this long-estab: PS lished custom comes from no less a urce than. the state legislature, which is well along on its way toward appropriation of state funds to aid firemen’s tournaments, The senate has already passed o bill, brought in by the committee on appropriations, setting aside *$2,000 for the North: Dakota Firemen’s as- sociation “for the purpose of promot- ing the efficiency and growth of its different departments, and for the holding of an annual tournament.” The bill is now in the house. Almost since the establishment of municipal fire departments in the state, scores of local organizations have girded themselves each year for} inter-city competition. , Speed and efficiengy events among the different groups, supplemented with horseshoe contegts, foot races, trey cantests, and other events have prised the stiff competition. in which each department valiantly strives to bring home a medal or prize, hot to mention the parades. of polished and. shiny equipment and Re banquets. At any rate, the firemen’s associa- tion will have $2,000 for the next two years with which to continue the tournaments, if the appropriation bill successfully completes its trip through the legislature. | wil ee yineaingt mC. ner.

D., Jan. 24.—()— | | Asserting that “there are four vast economic advantages to be gained from this project,” the Missouri Ri ver Diversion association of North Dakota has issued a phamphlet urg- | ing support of the scheme to divert |the waters of the Missouri river. According to the ass tion, which has its headquarter here, the diver- | sion would result in restoration of ; many lakes for recreational purposes, creation of a better domestic water supply fpr many cities, considerable water power, and conservation of water resources and flood control to bring an unusually low cost irrigation project. The association states that “North Dakota has a fund of $13,500,000 in Washington to be expended in our state for irrigation, drainage and flood control” to support its claims that the project could be brought about without cost to North Dakota! by federal uid. The estimated cost is placed at $10,000,000, Would Start at Garr!son The plan, as outlined by the asso-! n, would divert the waters at a near Garrison, and by means| of ditches and.tunnel: nvey a small part of the Missouri into numerous small lakes and streams in the cen- tral part of the state and eventually reach Devils Lake and Stump luke. The association of acres, in a di: townships in the | state, could be ir tral part of the ated through th project to bring about an intens development of sugar bect and al- falfa raising and dairying. Scores of small lake beds between ison and Stump Inke could be filléd \with fresh water and fish to form summer resorts equaling those of Minnesota and Wisconsin, it is contended, and cheap water power would be available for development of the . lignite coal fields.
