WATERFOWL
END OF THE GOPHER VERY LIGHT RAINFALL
CROP BULLETIN FOR PAST WEEK
Red River Valley Wet Enough, but
Southern Minnesota Greatly
in Need of Moisture. -"

The Minnesota climate and crop service
bulletin for the week ending yesterday
gives the following summary of general
conditions: T.
About the only measurable rainfall during
the week in the southern tier of coun-
ties, where there were light and widely scat
tered showers While the midday temperatures
were moderate, the early morning temperatures
were low. with heavy frosts. and In a few
places, ice. The higher lands in the Red river
valley are drying nicely, and preparations for
seeding and wheat seeding have been going
on since the 10th. The low lands are still
wet in Clay county and thence northward.
In the southern two-thirds of the state the
wheat Is nearly all sown, and In the southern
half, nearly all the oats and barley; farther
south flax is being sown. though near the
Mississippi, in the extreme southeast, all
seeding is somewhat later than it is a little
west of there. The soil is cool and very dry
and loose on the surface, so that termination,
even of the early sown grain, Is slow and un-
even. In few well-favored places wheat,
oats and barley are coming up nicely. The
gales and dust storms of the 10th and 18th
caused damage to sown grain that cannot be
estimated till after good rains have started
growth and it is known what the stand u.s. A
great deal of seed was left uncovered some
of which had begun to grow, and doubtless
much was buried too deep by the drifting &C
| ton. Some of the fields affected have been
reseeded, some have been narrowed and
many have not been touched. There were
mild dust storms again on the 18th, but with
very little injury. Some of the winter rye is
said to be injured by the winter, and also
some of the small area of winter wheat All
vegetation is held in check b. the cold and
lack of moisture. Forest fires are reported in
Pine county. .i-s.-. $780,

SPORTS
F. n. STACY Is CHAMPION
DEFEATS ELLIOTT AT CHESS
The Latter Had Held State HOnOrs
Since the State Tournament
February p.

The third and final game of the match
for the chess championship of Minnesota
between E. P. Elliott of this city and F..
N. Stacy, chess editor of T b e J o Ut |,
was played at the Minneapolis Chess club,
629 Boston block, last evening, and re-
suited in a victory for the latter. Stacy
thus wins the match and the state cham
pionship by a record of three games
straight, the first two having been played
at the first meeting two weeks ago. z,
Last evenings game was brief, lasting
only thirty minutes. The opening was the
well-known Ruy Lopez, which Franklin
X. Young, the Boston expert, pronounces
the strongest Of all debuts for the first
player. Stacy had the opening, and Eli
oft defended with the we'll known Stein
itz Defense of which the characteristic
move is pawn to queen three on the third
move. This defense, which the veteran
Steinitz elaborated with great care, has
been recently discarded by Lasker and
Pillsbury and the other professionals, be-
cause it gives. black a cramped game. Mr..
Elliott, who usually employs it in this
opening, customarily relieves his cramped
position by a. brilliant sacrifice, thereby
securing the attack. This he attempted
last evening by giving up knight for a
pawn on his eighth move; but the sacrl-
fee proved unsound. His opponent, by
aggressive tactics,- without taking time
to castle, forced the fight in blacks king
corner, announcing mate in two on the
fifteenth move. 4

Will Leave Thursday.


Nearly all of the Minnesota delegation
will leave on Thursday by the Great West

side trip to the Grand Canyon. Minnesota
headquarters will be at Hotel Van Mugs,
The Color Question.
"A few weeks ago Milwaukee club
woman, lawyer, impressively told
gathering of club women that the color
question agitation was entirely useless;
that some clever Yankee woman had
Matched deep-laid plot into which all of
the rest Of the delegates OF the G. F. w. c.
at Milwaukee had innocently walked, and
that as a result the whole color and reor-
ganizatiOn question was already decided.
This woman said that by incorporating
under a national charter the federation
was fixed upon basis of individual clubs
and could only make state decorations the
unit of organization by a change Of its ar
ticles of incorporat ion.
IA reading of the instrument would very
promptly dispell any such idea. The idea
of conflict between the constitution Of
the United States and of the General fed
Grafton and the application of such con-
flict to the color question was certainly
funny. The third article of the charter
expressly states that the corporation may
adopt bylaws regulating the admission
and qualifications Of members and both
bylaws and constitution may be amended
at pleasure.
An appeal to Attorney General Knox
was made for an opinion on these ques-
tions and his courteous but pointed reply
that he was only allowed to give opinions
on requests of the president opened the

AWARoF DIFFERENTIATION IN N. D.
The 500 Road Cooperating With
Farmers to Kill Off the
Grain Eaters.

Gopher tails for the decoration of coat
lapels of enthusiastic rooters at the foot
ball games this fall will be plentiful. The
500 road is assisting in an antigopher
campaign in North Dakota that is eX
pected to bring 100000 gophers to death
and the tails will be marketed in Mime
apolis by North Dakotans who have the
arrangements at the various stations in
charge.
The Sioux line runs through a stretch
of prairie country which, while being rap
idly settled, is still new enough to allow
the gopher to multiply. Each gopher will
destroy peck of grain during a season,
and the 500 is taking measures to protect
the new settlers against the pest. In the
territ DRY tributary to several ofNthe newer
towns along the line there are thousands
of the little animals, and their numbers
will greatly increase in the next six
weeks. The 500 has decided O award cash
prizes at certain stations to the small
boy. guaged by the number Of gopher tails
brought in from the chase.
On April the 500 hung up a list of
cash prizes at Bowbells, N. D., to encour-
age the humiliation of the gopher and the
results have been very satisfactory. The
offer expires May Is, and up to date the
small boys in that neighborhood have
brought in 1900 gopher tails. aE. C. Toll
ley, owner of the TOWNSHIP at Kenmare,
offered list of prizes last year amount
ing in all to $50, and 1000 gopher tails
was the result. The 500 believes that by
making such an offer at various stations
along the line its territory will be rid of
100000 gophers, which means a saving of
many thousand bushels of grain. ...
Nowhere does the small boy exhibit the
patience that he does in gopher hunting
His weapon is string about four feet
long, with a loop at one end. The loop is
carefully arranged around the edge of the
gopher hole. The little animal usually
pokes it's head above ground and surveys
the situation before venturing out While
he is thinking it over the small COY
yanks the string, the loop tightens, a
swish through the air and thump on the
ground and the gopher is done for. The
10-cent jack knife with the tin blade
sewers the tail and the hunter goes on to
new conqueSs.

NATIONAL LEAGUE JUBILANT
Over Decision of Pennsylvania Court
In La JOfe Case. $s

over Decision of Pennsylvania Court
In La JOfe Case.
Every National League magnate, player
ard rooter is iubilant to-day and every
American League adherent Of whatever
class is correspondingly depressed. The
supreme court of Pennsylvania in a unani-
nous decision has reversed the decision
of the court of common pleas, No 8, in
the famous La Joie Injunction suit.
John P. Rogers; trea surer of the ePhila
delphia National League club, is NATURE
ally greatly elated over the decision. He
says:
We shall serve notice al once not only upon
LaJoie Bernhard and Fraser, who were men
toned in the decision, but also upon Dele
hanty, Flick, Monte Cross, Wolverton, Dug
gleby, Townsend and Mcfarland, to report at
once for duty at the Philadelphia ball park.
While we cannot force these men to play
for our club by the ruling of the supreme
court we can restrain them from playing In
any other club In the state of Pennsylvania.
Should these players attempt to take part
in any baseball contest outside of the state
Of Pennsylvania, we shall bring suit against
the players and the management Of the club
for which they play for heavy damages. g
If the decision is as far-reaching as
Colonel Rogers seems to think, it will
practically disrupt the Ban Johnson
league. The National League claims title
to the services Of tho following players:

Daily, Strange, Davis, Green, Jones.

TROUT SEASON is SLOW
Catch in Upper Wisconsin Waters
Has Been Small.

Special to The Journal.
West Superior, Wis, April 22-The
hundreds of little trout streams of Doug
las county are well covered with trout
fishermen every day now, but their sue
cess has not been marked as yet: The
season started in much better than 1t
did a year, ago, but owing to the fact
that there has been no rain and practi-
cally no freshet, the trout are not down
yet and the cold weather has spoiled
most of the fishing.
There will, however, be greater activity
in trout fishing circles here this year
than ever before. St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, St. Louis and Chicago fish
ermen are now arranging for trips to
the famous streams of this county and
especially to the Brule, where there are
some good trout preserves. Gordon. st.
Croix Lake and other resorts near here,
promise to be, invaded this year by more
sportsmen and pleasure seekers than ever
before.
