holds the prize cup for having the larg-
est number of birds entered scoring
over 80 points. The prize cup in open
competition went to G. N. Bliss, of Min
neapolis, who showed the highest scor-
ing pen of fowls. Miss Virginia Thur
man, of st. Paul, entered her tiny sill
yer duck-wing bantams last year and
easily carried off the bantam cup,
while the Poultry Herald cup for the
highest scoring bird in the class hav-
ing the most entries was won by the
present secretary of the association, B.
S. Griffin, of st. Paul, with his famous
Plymouth Rock pullet. This same pull
let has reached the dignity of hen. and
will enter this year for the top honors
among the big black and white fowl.

in the Market house. where it was last
winter.
The st. Paul show has for some years
brought together exhibits of the best
specimens of all the many breeds of
fowl in the country, and especially in
the West, and its patronage, both as to
the number Of exhibitors and the pub
lie. has increased with each succeed
ing year. More birds, more money in
cash and cups for prizes and a greater
variety and perfection in breed show
American poultry the finest in the
world.
Added to this is the excitement of
the contests for the different honors of
the various classes, including this year
many entries from the pigeon fanciers,
carrying out the innovation of the last
annual show
Secretary Meili says there were over
1000 birds shown last year, and that
the number next week will greatly in
crease those figures. He has received
word from the leading poultry men in
this state, in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Dakota who are showing their pet
fowls this week at the show In Wi
mona. that they will be here for the
ST. Paul display.
The premium list is out and has been
sent to most of the fanciers with it's
list of over $1,000 in cash prizes and
half a dozen silver cups. This will be
busy week for the committee, which
consists of President Hope. Secretary
MeiIi and Vice President Ed Kynch,
who Is also to be the superintendent of
the show. Market hall is to be put in
order for the reception of pens by the
last of the week. The binding arc
lights will be dispensed with and in
place of them will be a large number
of gas lights, which will allow better
judging and add to the enjoyment Of
the spectator. A plan has been adopted
for the disinfection Of the hall each
day so that no Objectionable odor will
be apparent.
The judges will be the well known

George D. Holden, of Owatonna, and

pass upon the pigeons. The decimal
score will be used, and for the first
time in the history of the association
the American Standard of Perfection,
which will call for some slight changes
in the judging as heretofore done, will
serve as authority for the decisions
made.
The five silver cups are valued at
something over $500, and it is promised
there will be some close contests for
first honors in the different classes.

MAYOR KIEFER CAUTIOUS
TO KNOW SALOONS KEEP
OPEN LATE
So the Liquor Selling Fraternity
Has Been Instructed to Keep the
Doors Locked After Midnight for
Little While at Least

Mayor Kiefer has had another spasm re-
garding the closing Of saloons at midnight.
1t Is not any more severe than the many
previous attacks Of the same nature which
the mayor has undergone, as the favored few
saloons that keep open all night Just the
same when he orders general closing as at
any other time, are still doing business at
all hours Of the night, The mayors attack
seized his Thursday evening. 1t is not known
whether it came gradually or struck him
suddenly, after learning, that the grand fury
was inquiring into a lot Of matters that the
mayor ought to take care Of himself but it
reached it's height during the afternoon when
the same old order was sent to Chief Goss
to have the saloons closed tight at midnight
The order was transmitted 10 the patrolmen
but those on whose beats are located the
owls had private Instructions, and the
aforesaid owls" continue to hoot'' all night
long of yore.
OF course the saloon keepers are angry.
not so much at being ordered to close but
because of the constant change of base on
the part Of the mayor. One week they get
the office" to keep open, and the next week
around comes a thirsty policeman with an
order for them to close up. But then the
saloonkeepers do not know what an inuuisf-
tive grand jury this is that Is in session
now, so perhaps their wrath will be molided
after the grand jury adiourns by the antict-
pated permission to run all night again.

a STATE SAN1TAR1UM
AND FOREST PRESERVATION
I'm MINNESOTA.

The agitation. by various individ-
uals, concerning a state sanitariun
and forest reservation in Minnesota
may be most rightly described as an
unaccomplished hope. Nothing has
been successful. except at Itasca lake.
Every day OF every year the grow
ing trees and evergreens In Minnesota
crop from living perpendicular to a
oead level, every second of time from
daylight to nightfal. The destruction
Is constant, avaricious and continuous
1t has been proposed to locate a
state sanitarium at Cass lake on the
OJlbway reservation, near the narrows
connecting Pike bay with the main
recess of that beautiful body of water.
Tor the reason that a virgin body of
pine is growing there at an extensive
lake near railroad.
Today an Indian war is threatened
for the intrinsic value of the pine
standing there; two saw mills will be
In operation at that point in April of
this year. and the lumber yards will
Be extensive and the log booms in

secretary of the interior has ordered
the stumpage sold, and several hun

dead and down timber, mostly alive
bering transactions Of vast proper
tons, in the near future
The possession and ownership of the
pine there depends upon bidders, in
competition, or most probably in COM
b1nation, at the United States Land
office, on the day of sale, when the
cash must be paid in advance for the
stumpage right These transactions
are eliminating rapidly and thirty
Ojibway warriors passed through ST
Paul last Wednesday on their way to
Washington to influence action relat-
Ing TO the disposal of the pine at Cass
| and Leech lakes.
An eminent divine has recently Civ
en- expression, in an evening paper, to
a desire to secure the entire locality
az park. The cost would be far in
excess Of $1,000, OOO In the meantime
lumbermen and sawmill owners are in
active operations in the very center
OF the region proposed as a park, and
two branch lines of railroad penetrate
the forests, maintaining daily trains
to and from Cass lake.

WE'RE SENT EAST BY AS

Did Not Know Upon What Grounds
the Removal Was Made, So They
Were Unable to HRndie the Sub
Jest Satisfactorily.

P. NJ. Kerst and John s. erode, the commit
tee OF the Assumption church societies. who
went to Washington to confer with Mgr. Mar
tinelh in connection with the subject of the
recent deposing of Father Alfred returned
home yesterday. Speaking about the trip,
Mr. KerSt said:
Il can only say in a general way that We
had satisfactory interview with the mon
signor. We saw him in New York at the
home of the Paullsts last Wednesday. He
ceived US cordially and gave US a full hour
OF his time. We presented documents bearing
on the case and such oral testimony as we
thought essential to an intelligent understand
ing OF the situation. The monsignor said he
would give the subject the fullest considera-
ton and report later.
We We're in rather embarrassing position
IN this way, that We did not know the exact
causes that moved Archbishop Ireland in ask
ing for the removal of Father Alfred The
archbishop, on the eve Of his departure ad-
mtttedly for Europe. was seen by a commit
tee from the church societies. but failed to
give his reasons for the course he had taken.
Under the circumstances there was nothing
left for US TO do but present the ALLOCATE

Mr.. Grode's remarks were OF the same gen
eral tenor as those expressed by Mr.. Kerst,
Archbishop Martineln gave US a fair
hearing and l feel certain that he will do JUS
tce to all concerned. It will be necessary for
him to communicate with the archbishop to
get his side of the story. The vicar general
Of the archdiocese, in the absence OF the arch
bishop had given his consent to the holding
of the meeting out of which grew the diff

It Is said in some quarters that the arch
bishop took umbrage at some resolutions that
were read at the Sherman hall meeting. These
are the same resolutions that were passed at

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-29

State Auditor Dunn said yesterday
that wolf farms had gone out of fashion
in Minnesota. Not that those inter-
ested in the Illicit practice of breeding
wolves for their scalps cared anything
for the seasons styles. but the opera
ton of the low bounty act passed In
1897 had enforced retirement with the
gentry of wolf fanciers. The state aud
itor is authority for the statement that
there are at present no wolf farms in
the state.
Under the operation of the low
bounty law passed in 1897 the reward
is reduced to S. for a full grown wolf
killed between Jan. 1 and May 81. and
50 per head for all wolves killed at
other times of the year. OF this the
state pays a two-thirds share and the
county pays the other third The state
paid for the killing of wolves, under
the previous statute, ten and fifteen
dollars a head. which occasioned an
>outIay of the part of the state of near
ly $50, 900 annually. Under the pres
ent law the annual appropriation Of
s. 900 is more than adequate to
meet all payments. In fact when Mr..
Dunn closed his books the first of the
year there was to the credit of this
fund nearly $500.
1t has been limited at from time to
-
ton went to support private industry
in some of the farmers outhouses,
where Master Wolf, when captured was
kept until a mate could be found, and
thus the farm increased its profit. AT
least whether this be true or not some
of the counties where wolves were not
supposed to be very prolific were the
ones that returned TO the state auditor
the largest list of wolf bounties paid.
rriol Of nrlx of a
scalp on the county auditors Of several
counties has also gone out Of fashion,
as il is now necessary that the entire
carcass be presented at the county seat,
if payment would be had.
When the winters are long and cold
the wolves seem to be very numerous,
and at times very annoying to the
farmers. more particularly during the
very cold weather, as they kill small
stock and will attack cattle when in
large numbers. When the winters are
open in Minnesota they find enough
TO eat in the woods and are not so
troublesome to farmers. 1t is with
view to exterminating them that the
state has made large appropriations
for the last ten years. Its first efforts
had rather the opposite effect, as the
bounty was so high that there was no
money In raising potatoes, corn and
wheat, when wolves could be raised at
S15 per head, and without any cost to
the farmer, as his wolfship is always
hungry and will thrive on anything
from old shoes to scrap iron.
An additional safeguard has been
put on the new law, IN the shape of q
section which provides that no boun
ties will be paid by the state auditor
unless the board of county commits
sioners vote to pay It's share of the
bounty This being merely an optional
matter with the local boards there is
little chance for fraud, and with the
present low bounty there is but little
Incentive to an untruthful showing.
