REGISTER FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION

Now that the primaries are over the voters should not lose sight of the fact that registration for the cleo tion is still on. Citizens may regis ter for the general election up to and including twenty days before the election. It should hardly be neces- sary to urge the advantage and i'm portance of registering early. There is sure to be a great rush of pro- crastinating voters who always wait until the last minute" and many of those who fail to perform the neces- sary duty in good season will lose valuable time-possibly they may be disfranchised for their delay. Regis ter now. today: tomorrow at the lat est.

The western freight rate situa tion" is one that is rot likely to give pain to cattle shippers. Beginning Monday. the Sana Fe will carry live stock between Kansas City and Chi. cago for 12 cents per 100 pounds, which is a cut of 11h cents, and what is said to be the lowest rate since 1895. This cheapening of rates east of Kansas City will naturally have a softening influence on rates west of that point A general scram- bling for business between several roads is not at all unlikely, and it will be altogether welcome. If a road can afford to cut rates in two in the middle. all the roads have doubtless been getting heretofore all that was coming to them and maybe a little more.

The Territory Game Laws.

Considerable has been going the
rounds of late regarding the game law
which was supposed to have been passed
by congress at its last session. The law
which was introduced did not pass and
there is but one game law which obtains
in the Indian Territory. and it applies
to the white man only. 1t has been the
custom for the Indian agent to grant
permits to hunters from the neighboring
states, who would come In and kill the
game for sport but whenever any per.
son or persons were found trapping
or killing game for expectation they
were Immediately elected from the ter.
ritory, and their guns, traps, game and
all other belongings confiscated.
1t Is stated upon the highest authority
that there is no law authorizing license
or permit to be given to any one to hunt
or kill game in the Indian Territory in
violation of the law prohibiting such
killing Of game, except for subsistence.
The law which Is as follows, is whole.
some one and should be rigidly en-
forced:
Every person other than an Indian
who within the limits Of any tribe with
whom the United States has existing
treaties, hunts or traps or takes or de-
stroys any peltries or game except for
subsistence in the Indian country, shall
forfeit all the traps, guns and ammuni-
ton in his possession, used or procured
to be used for that purpose and all pei
tries 40 taken; and shall be liable in
addition to a penalty Of $500. - Section

At about 10: 30 A. NJ, amid the music from sew
eral excellent bands and the cheers of thous-
ands OF people along Broadway, the elegant
circus parade Of the Campbell Bros. show in
triumph passed up Fargo's main thor0ughfare.
1t was magnificent parade. There were the
rich and costly equippages beautiful beyond

north. sitting in the cages with ferocions-
looking beasts were the trainers calm but
watchful. There was the enormous behemoth,
a monster in size and horrible In appearance,
with its enormous mouth opening ever and
anon, closing upon the bits Of food thrown into
the cavern by the trainer. Last but not least
there was the noisy steam calliope, which al
ways attracts great deal Of attention and Is
bound TO be conspicuous, The Campbell Bros.
has fine one. There was the free exhibition
before the doors OF the main tent on North
Broadway. The attendance was fattering de-.
spite the rain and the threatening elements.
Thousands thronged the large tents. There
were words OF praise for the remarkable mena.
gerie, the large variety OF splendid animals,
and the special attractions were all that could
be desired. The acting was OF high order and
gave entire satisfaction to the great audience
that filed the tent Hair raising feats brought
out the applause Of the spectators again and
again and the clowns with their funny diver
ions were q feature that captured oil. The
Campbell Bros. made great hit and will no

REPORT on COTTON.
A New Feature to Secure Quickly
Accurate Statistics Of the
Cotton Crop.

Mr.. Frank l.. Warren of Van Buren,
has been appointed local special agent
of the censns Office to collect cotton
ginning statistics for this county. and
we Join the government in urging the
eipnvrs to give Mr. Warren their hearty
support and cooperation, thus enabling
him to make prompt and accurate re-
turns. We would impress upon the
ginners the fact that this agent Is q
sworn officer Of the government, and
that their reports are forwarded rs
given to him directly to the census
Office, at Washington. without passing
through the hands Of any middlemen.
The Information given is held rs strictly
confidential. and the operations of indi
vidual ginners are not divulged. Upon
the Joint cooperation of the cotton
growers ginners and local agents must
depend the success of the census office
in this inquiry, and its ability to render
this great service to the Southern people
and to all interested In the cotton staple.
The census Office has demonstrated In
three annual reports the fact that the
ginners are the only reliable source OF
information as to the volume of the an
nual cotton crop. This is very cOmpli-
inentary to the ginners, who, no doubt,
will feel pride in sustaining the repu-
tati0n earned.
In recognition of this interest shown
by the ginners, and Of y general demand
for more frequent reports through this
source, congress, In the act creating a
permanent census Office, provided for
the collection and publication Of these
statistics ut intervals during the gin
ming season. For the crop Of 1909 the
Office will issue three reports; the first
two will cover the quantity Of cotton
ginned up to and including October 18th
and December 18th, respectively; and
the final report will cover the total
quantity ginned from the growth Of
1909.
Realizing that the collection Of the
data for these reports Is made at sea-
son when the ginners' time is greatly
taxed, and and appreciating the neces'
sity for prompt returns, the census
Office has located. In each county con
tanning ten or more ginneries, an agent,
who will visit each ginnery In the
county and secure report OF the guam
tity Of cotton ginned up to certain
dates. In undertaking the frequent
and hurried reports now sought, 1t is OF
vital Importance that the returns be
made with absolute uniformity and that
all be received at Washington at one
time. This result could not be expected
from individual requests made by mail
of 80, 900 ginners, at time when they
are engrossed in their ginning work.
Furthermore, the census office must be
kept advised Of all changes In the man.
