The Prairie Chickens

\ The cheering news comes from
Pierre that Gov Herreid is going to
lead a movement during the next
legislative assembly to strengthen the
game laws, and Will at that time in
vite the conference of representative
spOrtsmen and members of game clubs
to that end. Like our worthy and
strenuous president in the White
House. Gov. llerreld loves the fields
and streams and sweet smelling woods
and would conserve the little wild
game left as many years as possible,
that the most healthfui of all out
door sports may long remain til.
privilege of Americans.
| 1t is unfortunate that there are not
more public men like Roosevelt and
Herrcid. The average legislator is
about as much interested in the pro-
lection of wild game as he is in the
propagation of monkeys along the
Amazon. TO him one is about as
i
is not until the game is practically en-
terminated that he is willing to side
/ track Il measure fixing the height of
wire fences ant permit q game law
to have the right of way. Even then,
he wants to be certain that it won't
cost anything.
A good deal of this apathy is due to
lukc-warm public sentiment, the pro-
portion of those who hunt being small
to the great mass of the people. 1t is
decidedly refreshing to find our two
leading state papers, the Argus and
Press at Sioux Falls, taking hand in
the matter. None of the editors or
owners of these newspapers have a
minutes time to devote to the field.
More the honor to them. AS a class,
newspapermena are prone to be indif-
ferent to that which does not directly
concern their profits or pleasures. In
the older states wild game is looked
upon as an important food supply,
and to such an extent that even song
birds are protected because of the de-
mand for the feathered tribe as a
table delicacy. The restocking of
fields and forests after the game has
once been eXterminated is impossible
in this country, but the government
Is spending millions in fish propaga-
tion-and the streams and lakes must
be constantly guarded from poachers.
No finer game bird is found in the
world than the pinnated grouse. COM
monty known as he"prairie chicken"
They haye made their last stand in
the Dakotas and Minnesota. and only
In Il limited area are they now found
abundant enough to make the sport
worth the effort Of late years the
law for their protection has been fair
ly we'll enforced. Let there be more
OF it. What IS wanted most is paid
state game warden and a small ap-
preparation for each county, so that a
county warden can give his whole
time to the work for at least two
months prior to the open date. Any
county could we'll afford to appropri-
ate 800 annually to this end. And
let the license for non-residents be
raised to $25, same as it is in other
states, and turn this money and fines
over to county game fund, to be
distributed among deputy wardens.
/ is Il useless waste Of energy to ap.
point wardens with no compensation.
They are paid in other states and
should be paid in South Dakota.

NEARLY ALL DRAW PENSIONS

washington. July 5,-According &c

Office the unknown army of old SOL

velt's new order is far smaller than

Though the new law has been in ef-
feet for nearly three months and the
pension office authorities have been
endeavoring to have this class of veter-
ans apply for pensions due them, less
than 5000 applications have been filed.
1t was estimated by members of con-
gress and pension officers that there
were at least 10000 Of former mem
bers Of the armies of the civil war
who were unaccounted for on the rolls,
Now, however, the estimate has been
revised, and it was said today that
there were not more than 10000 old
soldiers alive who were not pensioners.
The small number of applications
indicates, officers Of the bureau say,
that the death rate has been much
higher of late years among the vet
Grams than has been suspected.

Two Years.

Edmund Bersch. former MEM
Der of the House of Delegates,
was given a sentence of two
years in the penitentiary for ac-
cepting a bribe Of $500 for his
vote on the city lighting bill in
1899, by Judge Jesse Mcdonald,
Friday morning.
Bersch received the sentence
quietly and a few minutes after
wards was placed in the city
jail, where be will remain until
the next party of prisoners
leaves for Jefferson City.
This sentence is the minimum
punishment for the crime OF
bribery, and is regarded as an
inducemeut to the other men lus
dicted on the same charge to
which Bersch pleaded guilty TO
follow his example.
Bersch's sentence followed
the first plea of guilty by any
of the men indicted for bribery.
His sentence was postponed in
order to allow him to settle his
affairs.
There is one serious draw
back to the foregoing aud that
is; The punishment is too
light for the grave offence COM
mitted.
