ONE of the matters of vital i'm.
portance to the stock interests of
the state is the wolf bounty legis-
lation. Two years ago the legis-
lature enacted a law authorizing
the state to pay a bounty of IS
each on wolves. This amount
was to be paid out of a special
fund created by a levy of one
tenth mill on property value in
the state. 1t now appears that
the levy made was entirely made
quate, as the wolf bounty fund so
created for the two first years will
be somewhat less than $4,000
and the amount of certificates
registered for the same time will
reach nearly $4,000 worth. As
the matter stands wolf certificates
are sold alta great discount; the
certificates do not bear interest
and a state warrant cannot be had
in exchange for them until there
is money in the special fund to
take up the particular certificate;
and there is little inducement for
wolfers to work at their profession.
Wolves are numerous and the loss
q stock killed by them is alarm
ing. The state should continue
cspaya bounty and should pro-

This Is the Way It Looks.

Minneapolis Tribune: Receiver Lamb
of the Bismarck land office has already
served three months more than his term,
and, although a Democrat, appears likely
to serve three more. This is not on &C.
count of any civil service rules. or any
thing like that, but Senator McGillivray,
of Dickinson, is slated for the position as
o as the session of the legislature ter
inmates. Such, at any rate, is the cur
rent report, and that is why people who
know wink the other eye when they hear
rumor of Senator McGillivray boiling
the choice of the rest of the slope. The
arrangement is said to date back to the
election of Senator Hansbrough at the
last session.

In the message of Gov. Fancher
it is recommended that all wolf
bounty laws be repealed except
the bounty on grey wolves. 1t is
likely that some action will be
taken with referenceto this matter
and the PRESS would suggest that
those interested in stock in this
section get together at once and
confer with our senator and repre-
sentative.
