sN1PE SHOOTING.
Question Whether it is Legal
to DESTROY Them.

There has been considerable discus
sion of late among local sportsmen as
to whether it is permissible to shoot
Iiacksnipe at this season of the year or
1T any time in the state of Iowa.
Snipe are considered by sportsmen to
be among the best of the smaller game
They have distinct flavor and al
though it takes number of them to
satisfy sportsman's appetite they are
eagerly sought for. Many of the local
fraternity returning from Elk river
and other hunting grounds report that
they are beginning to appear in large
numbers.
The chapter in the code relating to
game birds is silent in regard to snipe
as such, fixing prohibitions for the
protection of ducks, quail, grouse, ETC.,
but ignoring the diminutive snipe.
However, in section 1851 sandpipers
are enumerated among harmless birds,
which it is unlawful to modest ut any
season of the year. Webster gives a
difference of fraction of an inch be-
tween sandpiper and snipe but
they are usually looked upon as iden-
teal so far as eating is concerned.
Probably the best way to find out ones
rights in this matter is to make
test case and let the courts decide
Clinton Age.
Blair (Neb.) Courier: The new game
bill which has passed, will be interest
ing. 1t prohibits quail shooting for q
couple of years, makes more stringent
the law against SEEMING, prevents fish
ing with troutlines with more than five
hooks on q line. provides for game and
Dish wardens, and for 81 license for
hunting in another than home coun-
ty, with $40 fee for nonresidents
hunting in the state.

RECORDS WILL BE
BROKEN.
Real Estate Men Believe This
as to Sales of Farm Land.

Last year was a record breaker
in the matter OF real estate trans
fers in northwestern Iowa and
especially on the Missouri bot
tom. January l, this year, this
paper published figures showing
that one real estate agency has
sold 26,7S4 acres of Missouri bot
tom land in Woodbury. and Mon
ons counties, the total considera-
ton being $l,0O0,225. Enormous
as these figures appear, remem-
boring that they represent the
sales of but one of many agencies,
yet real estate mon incline to the
belief that the sales OF lnst year
will be surpassed bv those of the
present season. Eastern home-
seekers and investors were never
more anxious than now to invest
in the rich lands of this fertile
valley. Parties from Illinois who
have already purchased land here
are unanimous in stating that
their friends and neighbors are
making inquiry and casting long,
ling chances toward the broad acres
and moderate priced lands of
western Iowa. These people agree
with the real estate men that the in
flux of land buyers from Illinois
this year will greatly exceed the
number OF any previous year.
While many Of the first buyers
from illinois were capitalists look
ling for safe investments for their
money, the class of people who are
this year locking for lands in thie
section are the small farmers and
men of moderate means who find
themselves handicapped by the
high priced lands of Illinois and
are seeking new location where
they can secure fertile, yet mod
crate priced lands, convenient to
markets aud the other advantages
of farm life to which they have
been accustomed, and nowhere do
they find these conditions 80 fav-
orable as in this grent valley of
the Missouri, where soil, climate
and natural conditions are go
nearly parallel to those of their
former home. These are the con-
ditions which seem to point to
great activity and steadily ad-
vancing prices in the land market
and give promise of continued
prosperity aud material develop.
