Destruction of Game.

The Virginia Enterprise last week
editorially spoke of the game COM
mission and the destruction OF game
in the following sarcastic manner.
The Enterprise is right, the senti-
ments expressed meeting with our
views to a dot. Bro. HanRaford says:

struction of game and the utter dis

Course of Entertainments.

VIM. Irle. representing the Column
bian Lyceum Bureau of st. Paul,
was in the city Monday and sounded
the citizens in regards to furnishing
course of five entertainments here
during the months beginning October.
The response was prompt and all ap-
preached were very much pleased
with the prospects. The list is now
in the hands Of Prof. G. L. Newberry
and already enough financial aid has
been pledged to make the course a
success. The course will comprise
musical, literary and dramatic enter
tainments not secured outside Of a
regular course. The Columbian hand

The Man a Brute.

A shocking story of depravity
brought on by drink is waited from
Winton. Peterson, the man spoken
of, up to the time he became addicted
to the use Of his own poison, was re-
ported to have been god husband
and father, but these traits have en-
tirely disappeared. Humane Agent
Withrow who was in the city on the
case last week says it is one Of the
most sorrowful it has been his mis-
fortune to encounter for some time.
Read what the Duluth Tribune says
of the affair:
Two of the little ones are twin
babies OF three months. In the little
howell where they live there is neither
fuel nor food and when neighbors
called at the house early this week to
render assistance to the invalid
mother the children were in a shock

Cut-Oyer Lands.

Congressman j. Adam Bede in Sun
days News Tribune brought forth a
very able article on the farming and
stock raising qualities CT cut-over
lands. His position is well taken and
we are of the opinion that only few
years will suffice to see the country,
now SO waste in appearance, dotted
with farms. Among other things he
says:
whats the matter with Minnesota
anyway? Why not develop our cut
over lands.
"While talking in general CONVEX
sation with men who deal in pine and
agricultural lands 1 have heard the
timber country of st. Louis, Lake and
Cook counties sighted by the re-
mark that when the pine was cut
there was nothing more to be gained
by owners of the tracks. happen to
know that the observation is not sus-
tanned by facts. Along old logging
roads, oyer which supplies of wheat
and oats have been hauled, 1 have
seen In the cut-over country, some of
the finest growths of hay and oats l
have ever laid eyes upon, These road
side crops were haphazard growths,
not cultivated. II the same land
were cultivated, what might one ex-
pect?
Ebay is a commodity which finds DIS
ready sale on the Duluth market as
any of which 1 know and it is my
humble opinion that too much of it
cannot be grown within few miles
of the city to suit the people interest
ed in stockfarming and other in
dustries in st. Louis county. Any
time there is a surplus of hay on the
local markets, there will be found
profit in shipping it elsewhere.
Along the line of the Iron Range
road there are number of splendid
profitable tracts of land under culti-
walton. A short time ago, only a few
years, those same farms were covered
with standing pine and still later they
were dotted with stumps and masses
of brush heaps. From the cut-over
lands, some wonderful things in agri-
culture have developed"

A Pleasant visit.

s. A. Farnsworth of st. Paul, Grand
| Master Of the state of Minnesota. I.
O.O.F., accompanied by b. G.. Covell,
Deputy Grand Master Of Benson.
Mimi. we're in the city Monday even
ing and visited with Ely Lodge No.
900 and Diamond Rebekal Lodge.
Mr.. Farnsworth had been at Biwa.
blk, accompanied by Deputy Coyell,
where they had instituted a lodge Of
Odd Fellows Friday evening, and
were on a general visit to all the
range towns. At each place they
had been royalty entertained and
were shown the sights and points OF
interest.
The gentlemen arrived on the noon
train and were met at the depot by
committee who escorted them to the
Vail. After lunch, committee met
the gentlemen and they were taken
for underground visit to the Pioneer
mine. In company with ye editor
and AL. Kolstad, with Manager Trez-
ona and Capt. Reube Toms as guides,
the party descended into the bowels
of the earth where most profitable
and entertaining afternoon was spent.
Manager Trezona and Capt. Toms
made it a particular point to show
the entire network of levels, drifts
raises and everything connected with
the inside workings of the Pioneer
the greatest mine in the world. The
party was loud in its praises of the
treatment accorded and much of in
terest was ascertained. At some other
time we will try and give our views
of'this great institutions After the
underground trips the surface machi-
merry and plants wee visited.
A trip to Winton and return to
the city in time for supper was the
wind up Of the very pleasant after
noon. In the evening the members
of Ely Lodge and Diamond RebeKah
Lodge and visiting brothers assem-
bled at the lodge rooms. where a
most enjoyable evening was spent.
Grand Master Farnswortll and De-
putty Covell addressed the members
present, both being entertaining
speakers. They dwelt on the bene-
fits of Odd Fellowship and the i'm
portance of being an Odd Fellow.
Rev. Logan, Sam Rapson, AL. Kol-
stad, Mrs. E. Polkinghorn and several
others also made short addresses.
The ladies had spread table the
full length of the nah add placed
thereon a most delicious repast. 1t
was but fitting that after the feast
of reason, another feast would be
the proper caper and all did justice
to the tempting display. The meet
ing adjourned at midnight.

admirable and complete set of game
laws but provided ample means by
which to carry out its provisions.
Two years ago the commission was
allowed $25, 900 a year for its work.
which allowance was increased by tue
last legislature to CSC. 900, the additiO-
nal provision being made that all fees
and receipts of tho commission should
be used in carrying out the provisions
of the game law instead OF going to
the state treasury. as had heretofore
been the case. But despite this
liberal addition TO the allowance of
the commission, the northern portion
of the state. the natural game pre-
serves, are left as entirely alone as I'M
der the old regime. while the southern
and central portions of the common
wealth. where the only remaining
game is of the feathered variety, re-
ceive full quota of appointees. These
fowls are not permanent residents OF
any locality. and should one years
supply in a particular locality be de-
stroyed more would come back another
season. 1t is not so with the big game
of this section, which has to stay
where it is winter and summer and
which is not replenished from other
localities, and for the protection OF
which the commission, in the good
ness of their souls. have single de-
putty to care for the enormous ter
ritory surrounding the head of the
lakes. 1t is little wonder, therefore,
that our trout streams are being de-
nuded, that our lakes are being dyna-
mited and that big game, moose and
deer, are diminishing at a rapid rate
as the result of a promiscuous and UNI
regulated slaughter. Perhaps the
State Fish and Game Commission may
have mission to perform, but the
lover of the chase in this northern
section will have to be ''shown" be-
fore being convinced that any honest
attempt at the performance thereof
is being made"

Found Last Friday.

OThe party of woodmmen who left
here last Friday morning for the
country near the "hoist," aboutseyen
miles from Winton, returned the
same evening having found the man
just as they were starting into
the woods. He was very weak. having
gone eight days without food, more
than what he found in the woods.
His story is to the effect that he
was lost and was picking berries when
shot from rifle struck him glanc-
ing blow on the head, stunning him.
The wound would indicate such was
the case. 1t was at first thought he
had attempted suicide as a revolver
with one exploded shell was found on
his person. but the physicians claim
it would have been an impossibility
to inflct wound on himself such as
he possessed. 1t is thought that a
stray bullet from hunters rifle was
the cause of the wound.
The young man, whose name is
Smith, was brought to the city and
is at the Shipman Hospital where he
is recovering as rapidly as possible.

A joke is told on certain young
man working at Soudan who is very
bashful. He went to see his best girl
one night recently and it began to
rain, and it rained and rained and
rained. She told him it would be a
pity for him to go home in the rain
and asked him to stay all night. He
hated to refuse so he said all right,
and she told him she would go and
prepare his bed. 1t required some
little time and when she came back,
imagine her surprise at finding him
dripping with rain. She asked him
where he had been, and he told her he
went home to get his nightshirt.

WORSE THAN REPORTED.

The Citizen states that many SYM
pathize with Mrs. Lahue. If they
could see her house they would indeed
feel sorry for her. There is not a dry
bed or carpet II the house. The rain
poured in, soaking ceilings and side
walls, deluging everything. The car
pets were soaked so that the foot sank
into them when stepped on. Twice
has the rain come into the house, as
every particle of the roof came off and
rolled into the yard, breaking the
cornioe, etc., of the house, and it will
cost over two hundred dollars for re-
pairs. 1t is far worse than was told
at first. All of the doors flew open,
letting the rain in on all sides. 1t
was we'll it wasn't at night, as it
would have been frightful. Everyone
speaks highly of Mrs. Lahue and she
