Deer hunting closed December
LIST, and it is hoped that the game
will get a rest until next year. The
deer on the Missouri Slope will
soon be a thing of the past. The
legislature should enact laws look
ing to the preservation Of these
animals-either stop the hunting
for two or three years, or limit the
hunting season to about five days,
and limit the hunter to two deers
to be killed during the season. 1t
has been reported, and on good
authority, that deer have been
killed the year round i'll this part
of the state. If this is the case.
those who believe in the protection
Of the game should see that this
unlawful hunting is stopped.

THE FIRE FIEND!I
Fire Destroyed the Wash
burn Elevator Early
this Morning.

At 2 a. m, this morning the
Washburn elevator, located on the
bank of the river, was discovered
to be on fire and the alarm was
given. The fire had reached the
top of the elevator when first dis
covered, and by the time the citi-
zeus reached the scene, the fire had
gained such Roadway that there
was no hope of saving the building.
There was about 5000 bushels
of wheat in the elevator at the time
and standing on the sidetracks
were four loaded 500 cars which
were also burned. The marine leg
leading down to the river from the
elevator, and the building at the
end was entirely consumed,
and the platforms used for the
hand of freight we're also burned.
It is estimated that the loss will
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
It required hard work to- save
the buildings of the Farmers-M er-
chants Lumber Co., and the Man
Ian Company's buildings. Had it
aot been for the light fail Of snow
remained on the roof of the
the intense heat would
set them on fire. Fortunately
here was no wind and the flames
upwards from the huge
burning pile for hundreds of feet.
The elevator was built and own
ID by Gen. Washburn, and was
the summer that the road
quilt into this place. The building
vas a large one, and was erected
It a large cost to the owner.
This was one of the worst fires
hat ever visited this place. 1t is
lot known how the &r9 started

Print the Laws.

No man in the state better, than
the country editor, knows the an
noyance and inconvenience of the
present method of disseminating
the state laws-either those now on
our statute or new laws as they are
passed by the legislature when in
session. Anyone wishing to learn
the provisions of a certain law is
required to buy from the state
printer. And then the next legis-
lature will probably "knock it out.
Many a case is brought into the
civil courts because of ignorance
of the law governing the case at
the starting of the controversy.
But ignorance of the law is no ex-
cuse in either civil or criminal law.
1t would be more to the point how.
ever, if the next legislature would
pass a law SO that no one could
make a plea of ignorance. In Min
nesota, the session laws are pub
lished in the newspapers of the
state for the benefit of the whole
people. We believe that North
Dakota should do the same, paying
therefor what is honest compensa-
ton for the service-and no more.

that, There are at present four
