GAME LAWS ARE VERY STRINGENT Made Necessary By Fact That Game Is Becoming More Scare Each Succeeding Year—Al- lowed 15 Birds In One Day. The open season for smallgame com- mences Wednseday, September 7, and for the past two weeks a number of local sportsman have been quietly scouring the country locating the best hunting grounds and if half what they savis true they wil! ex- terminate the duck family and the fective prairie nen. Not many prairie chickens are found in this section of the country, but there are plenty of ducks, especially in the lakes near Deer River. The open season for hunting turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated, white-breasted and short tail grouse, woodcock and upland and golden plover lasts only to Novem- ber 7. while the open season for geese, ducks and other varieties of aquatic fowl closes on December 1, For the hunting of small game no license is required from residents of the county in which the game is killed, but if one desires to hunt out- side the couoty in which he resides, he must procure a license from the county auditor, which can be otained on payment of $1. Non-resident hunters will be given permission to hunt fursmall game on payment of a license fee of $10 and are allowed to ship twenty-five birds or fowl outside the state. Hunters must display their license to anyone requesting to see same. The license expires on GranpD RAPID», Irasca County, Minn., Wepnzspay, AuGusT 24, tg10. receipts from tuition, intersst on the | permanent university fund, state aid from taxes and government appropri- ation, amounted to $616,748.36. The total disbursements including salaries not only of the university teachers but of the school of agricul- ture operated in connection with it, amounted to $959,244. The unsually large amount on hand is accounted forin a great measure by the appropriations made at the last session of the legislature for new buildings. ‘ Saloon Exit Time Extended. Acting Secretary of the Interior Pierce, through the Indian office, has modified a recent order of the department, which would abolish the sale of all liquor in what is December 15, following the date of issue. Tbe fund derived from the sale of license tages goes into the state game and fish commission’s fund and is used for the prutection and propa- gation of game and fish. No person is allowed to kill more than fifteen birds or fowl in any one day and residents of the state are allowed only forty-five birds or fifty aquatic fowl in their possession at any one time. Non-residents are allowed only thirty-five birds or fowl at any time. The law reads as follows regarding entering fields of grain and trespass- ing: ‘‘No person shall atany time enter into any field of standing or growing grain, not his own, with intent to take or killany birds or animal, nor permit any dog witb which he may be hunting tc do so for such purpose without permission from t'se owner or person in charge thereof. No person shall at any time enter upon land not his own with intent to take or kill any birds or animals after being notified by the owner or occupant thereof oot to do so. Such notice may be given orally or by posting written or printed notices to that effect in the Euglish language in conspicious places on the land so protected.” The open season for game animals remains the same, from November 10 to 30. Residents of the state may kill two deer and one moose while non-residents may kill one dear and one moose with privilege of shipping deer outside the state. The license fee for residents is $1 and for non-residents $25. Hunters should remember it is a misdemeanor to sell or expose for sale any game bird or animal anda heavy fine is given anyone convicted of so doing. Minnesota University Is Prosperous. The university of Minnesota start- ed its fiscal year Aug. 1, 1910 with pearly a million dollars greater balance on hand thanit had at the beginning of its fiscal year 1909 There is on deposit to its credit, according to figures in the office of the state treasurer, $564,393.67. Tbere was on hand Aug. 1, 1909, $85,896.77 The appropriations to the uniyer- sity during the year which recently closed amounted to $812,000. The known as the Indian country of northern Minnesota. It is intimated that where liquor is not sold in a bottle or other re- ceptacle, but simply dispensed over a bar and prohibited to the Indians, there probably will be no objection. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger will pass on the case when he re- turns. The original order gave the pro- prietors of saloons until Sept. 15 to close out their stock of wet goods and shut up shop. The new order extends the mine until Oct. 15 in or- der to have a thorough and extend- ed investigation and to give interest- ed parties an opportunity to state their respective cases. CLERKS PICNIC A GRAND SUCCESS Clerks Won From Band Boys in Ball Game—Was An Ideal Day. OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE PRESENT More Would Have Attended Could Rigs Have Been Secured— Everybody Had a Good Time. The weather man certainly lived up to h’s prom’se to give the reail <o3 Ap pcos v sp dey pues Jo syx19]0 their picn’c, for no better one could be hozed for. Almost every bus'ness house in the village was closed and it is estimated that over one thou- sand peopie attended tte pene. The crowds commenced leaving for the lake at 8:30 o'clock, a. m., and from that time until the noon hour there was a s‘eady steam of humanit all making fo the sare Object’ve point. Through the kindne s of the whole- sale bo-ses, the clerks were well p o- vided for in the line of eatables, there ben a profusion of water- melons, cra‘es of bananas, bo led hams, canned goods, et>. During the luncheon hour each shady tree was surrounded by a mery crowd of picmicers and the capacity of the ;Ogema hotel was taxed to i's limt. The Grand Rarids band, which by ‘he way is consde:ed o:e of the best musical organizato:s in the northern rart of the sate, rendered selections at proper ‘nter.als durng the day and they contributed not a Lttle toward the succe s cf the day. The Soxthside clerks were uza‘le to get their base ball team together and in order not to d'sappoint the fans, the band boys challenged the clerks. Reports vary as to the score made during the game, but the off'cial scorer gave the scoe as 13 to 10 in favor of the clerks and we shall accept his figures. The game was hotly contested and the umpire received h’s share of abvse. Numerous other athletic stunts were pulled off and everybody seeme bent on having just a I't le better time than anytody else. Those wro did not care to witness the ball game and other sports spent the day on the Make, there being plenty of launches and small torts. Du ing the evening the young peop’e indulg- ed in dancing at the Ogema hotel, Roecker’s orchetra f:rnis‘ing mu- sc and all report a good time. CAMP MISHAWAKA TO SOON BREAK UP} Party -of Students Will Leave for Washington This Week, Bal- ance Next Week. WILL BE ENLARGED NEXT YEAR Director Green States. Location is the Best He has Yet Seen, While Climate is Ideal—More Stu- dents Next Year. “Yes, we are more than pleased with Pokegama lake as a camping grounds,” said Director George F. Green, of Camp Mishawaka, to a He- rald-Review representative Monday, »*and next year we will have a larger bunch here for the summer. The camp this year was only an experi- ment, but we are more than pleased with the results obtained. “Our greatest difficulty; heretofore, has been in securing camping grounds conveniently situated near some vil- lage and yet far enough away to keep the boys from roaming about town, Camp Mishawaka has all these ad- vantages and in addition the climate cannot be excelled. This year we had only twenty-five boys at the game, but they were so well pleased with the outing thatit is safe to assert there will be ahout 100 here next year. Yes, this will be one of our permanent camps. The boating and fishing facilities are good and we will gladly admit that Pokegama lake is one of the most beautiful bodies of water it has been our good fortune to see. The boys have, without an ex- ception, certainly eujoyed the out- door life and they will return to school greatly benefitted from their two months’ outing. (TASCA COUNTY'S ANNUAL EXRIBIT Will Have Larger List of- Entries Than Ever Before—Township Exhibit Will Draw Attention. PREMIUM LIST SOON BE ISSUED Fair Will Be Held Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, September 22, 23 and 24—Big List of Prizes. The much talk of nineteenth annual fair of the Itasca County Agricultural association will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 22, 23and 24. From the reports sent in from all parts of the county it is indicated that the list of exhibitors will be larger than ever before in the history of association. The officers are sparing no pains to make the fair a success and Secretary Graffam states that he looks for an extra-ordinary attendance apd that More and more people are beginning to realize the benefits that accrue to both the business man and the farm- er from the nolding of county fairs. Secretary Graffam is being swamped with inquiries concerning the fair, which denotes that all are interested in Itasca county’s fair and he will soon send out premium books to the different villages where they will be handed out to those interested. Citizens of Grand Rapids can secure books by calling at Mr. Graffam’s office. A careful persual of the premium list will give the readers thereof a clear and concise idea of the rules and regulations covering entries, markings and the amount of prize money. All who intend entering ex- “A pumber of the boys will leavebibits should at ieast familiarize for the east the latter part of this week and more will leave next week. The camp proper will be closed on August 29, but some of the boys will stay until October 1. Next yeas will also see a large number of parents of the students at Pokegama lake to spend the summer ahd in time Poke gama lake will become one of the most noted summer resorts in the northwest.” Work for Warden Harry. There is a rumor going around that there are four dead deer vut on Buckeye Lake that are lyiog within @ bundred yards of each other and no one seems to know who killed them, says the Bovey Lron News. They were shotand left where they fell. If this is true, then the game warden has a job that every bunter in this or any cther vicinity ought to help in finding out the man who did it and then give him or them the limit. Had the party or parties taken the deer home then would matters have been different. But to waatonly kill the animals and leave them to spoil is worthy of what the law would give aod thea some. Every mao should be a game warden, Noone maa can cover so large a field and each of us then should aidin Jaw enforcement if we expect toever get a shot our- selves, legally. Social Dance At Marble.

IMPORTANT TOPICS DISCUSSED The Matter of a Potato Warehouse and Creamery Will Be Taken Up—Bring Your Family and Dinner. Every farmer who can possiblv do so should attend the co-opera- tive farmers’ meeting which will be held at Village hall from 9:30 to 120’clock a. m., Saturday, Septem- ber 3. The meeting will be all that the name implies, a get together meetiug, and no farmer who has his own interests at heart should fail to be present. The meeting will help you sell your products this fall and the time is here when we will be com- For the towaship making the vest| Peled to look for an outside mar- exhibit, $50; second, $40; third, $30: ket.

The products making farmers, Grand Rapids and the up the exhibit must be grown on at|2¢arby mining towns provide a least ten different farms ia the town- ship and display of grasses mustbe in both bundle and threshed form, bund- les to be not less than four inches in diameter, and two quarts of the threshed grain must be shown. The displays will be judged on a market for everything raised but the number of farmers is contstant- ly increasing and the local market cannot take care of the yield. Potatoes are one of the principal yields in this vicinity and as pota- to warehouses have proven a Ssuc- basis of 100 points for each display of | C°8S where ever they have been grains and grasses and 50 points for the display of fruits. To win first premium the exhibit must at least tried, it seems the farmers in the vicinity of Grand Rapids should adopt the plan.

Any township bordering on Itasca county and notexhibiting in a similar contest at any other fair, and wishing ‘62 | to enter, may du so so by making spe- cial arrangements with the secretary of the fair association. Numerous improvements have been made for both the comfort of the spectators and exhibitors and an ef- fort is being made to obtain a good race meet for all three days of the fair. Edna Lee Dead. Miss Edna Lee, aged nineteen years, died at the hospital Thursday after- noon of typhoid fever. She wasa daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ole E. Lee, who removed from Granc Rapids to Marble in June. The epidemic is very prevalent at Marble and the de- ceased was brought to Grand Rapids Tuesday where she could have better care, but she failed to rally and died Thursday afternoon. The young lady was a student atthe High school and shipped when the best prices can be obtained and shipments can be made every week if neces- sary. A creamery is also one of the topics that will be discussed at this meeting. An attempt will be made at the meeting to determine the number of aCres of potatoes tribu- tary to Grand Rapids for the pur- pose of estimating the number of bushels that will be shipped from here. Bring the family and yourdinner. Co-operation begins with sociabil- ity and tothis end the Experiment farm will serve coffee and cream. Camp Mishawaka Defeated.

EBERHART IN GRAND RAPIDS Drove Over From Coleraine, Ac- companied By Julius Schmahl, Secretary of State. ARRIVED TOO LATE FOT OVATION Large Crowd Gather at Corner of Pokegama Hotel But Grew Tired of Waiting and Dispersed. It was rumored that Governor Ebef hart, who was making atour of the Tange, would visit Grand Rapids at about 9 o’clock last Wednesday even- ing, but through some misunderstands ing the governor did not arrive until 11 o’clock, A large crowd had gathered at the Pokegama hotel corner and the band was out to welcome the state’s chief executive, but they finally gave up hopes of his appearing and the gover: nor’s admirers wended their way homeward. The governor was ac- companied to Grand Rapids by Julius Schmahl, secretary of state and th® two gentlemen departed on the early morning train for St. Paul. Remaining Public Lands. Uncle Same still has left quite 4 farm which belongs to his children, and from which he still gives to each of his sons and daughters, as they come of age, enough to make them independent, provided only they will live uponit. This family estate is now 731,000,000 acres, but just a little over ove-half of this is in Alaska, says the News Tribune. Next comes Nevada, with 56,700,000 acres; then Montana and Arizona, with over 42,000,000 acres each; New Mexicu, Utah and Wyoming, with between 35,000,000 and 39,000,000 acres each, and California, Colorado and Idaho, each having from 23,000,000 to 27,000,000 acres, and then there isa drop to Oregon, with 18,225,000; South Dakota, 5,000,000, and Washington. 3,200000 acres. : These include but twelve of the soon-to-be states and these acres are largely in dry farming or irrigation sections. These twelve include most of the other half uf the public do- main outside of Alaska. Indeed, they leave but about 8,000,000 acres for all the rest, me This balance lief fainly iff Arkansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and our own state of Minnesota, which still has 1,450,000 acres subject to bomestead or in forest reserve. This yuartette takes nearly 7,000,000 of the 8,000,000, and Florida has 500,- 000 of the balance, leaving but scat- tered patches in Alabama. Louisana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Okla” homa and Wisconsin. There are just twenty-cne states in which there are no public lands, and it will be observed only a tenth lies in the states where God sends the ‘rains in abundance and nature smiles upon the husbandman. So, while Uncle Sam still has considerable of a farm left, so far as immediate avail- ability or desirability is concerned, it is but a fly speck on the map. But the old gentleman has lately had a flash of wisdom and thrift. He sees that he cannot much longer give each childa farm. Already he has had to irrigate 5000,000acres. So, for those to whom he cannot give lands, and this will come in another generation, he bas decided to con- serve his other wealth, He has withdrawn 17,000,000 acrés for irrigation, and 127,000,000 for forestration. He will keep the coal that lies under the surface of 72,000; 000, the phosphate of 2,500,000 acres, the oil of 4,500,000 acres, 1,500,000 acres for their game, an equal amount for water power and as much more for parks. But the immediate moral of this Statistical tale would seem to be that not an acre more of this remaining land should go to speculators. It should all be held for actual settle- ment. Raymond A. McOuat, of Coleraine, has filed for the office of county at- torney on the Democratic tickets He is a clean cut young man and will « undoubtedly poll a large vote.
