One of Nashwauk’s most popular mixologists returned from a _ short visit to the county seat Friday morning. He was met at the depot by a number of friends who heard that while he was being entertain- ed at the county seat one of his lamps was slightly decorated as the result of a friendly sparring exhibi- tion. However, he led the way home singing that beautiful and enchant- ing melodrama, entitled ‘Cheer, cheer, thd Gang is all Here” and ac- companied himself by vigorously beat ing a snare dr'um.—Nashwauk Herald THE CHAMPION WOLF HUNTER N. D. Fairbanks, of Goodland, Has Killed 360 Grown Wolves Dur- ing Past Four Years. Norman D. Fairbanks, of Goodland, was in the village Saturday to claim bounty on the pelt of a female Cana- dian brush wolf and a litter of nine cubs.Mr. Fairbanks makes a business ‘of killing wolves for the bounty to be obtained and states that during the past four years he has killed and trapped over 360 grown wolves in Itagca and St. Louis counties. He hails a line of traps sixty miles long during the winter which he covers every four days, The bounty paid on grown wolves is $20, and $5 is paid for cubs in Itasca and St. Louis counties and while in conversation with a Herald- Review representative on this sub- ject, Mr. Fairbanks said: “Many peo- ple unacquainted with conditions claim that hunters and trappers are { Wolf-farming in northern Minnesota but I do not believe this ta be true. However, in counties where the boun- ty is small, it is a kyown = facti ‘that wolves greatly increase for the simple reason that hunters seek more lucrative fields. The result is the an- imals become so great a pest the bounty is raised, the wolves are thin- ned out and then it is again lowered. If this method of exterminating wolves is continued there will be Plenty left a thousand years from now, as the hunters will simply move [from one county to another. In Aitkin and Cass counties, for instance, the bounty is small and in a short) time the wolves will become so populous the rate will be raised, but at present little or no wolf hunting is done in ithose counties. “I would suggest this as a remedy. Make a universal rate of say $15 tor both grown wolves and cubs in all the counties, but make ithe rate af bounty on cubs conditioned on the fact that ithe female wolf is also se- cured. If the female wolf is not se- cured, cut the bounty in half. The ‘hunters would then lend their best efforts to exterminate the cubs as well as the grown wolves, which at present is not being done, and northern Minnesota would be soon rid of the sheepmen’s pest. By conditioning the bounty on cubs, more female wolves would be exterminat- ed.” Pretty Laundry Bags at ODONNELL’S China Sale Friday and Saturday.
