DEER AND MOOSE

Complaint is Made that Many
i: Hunters Kill Game and Leave
4. The Carcass in Wo9f6ss.,, r..

Special to The Journal.
=. Two Harbors, Mimi, Nov. 25.-In the
Killing of deer and moose and leaving
the carcasses in the woods to be de-
voured by wolves, is one of the un
sportsmanlike features Of big game
hunting about which there is much COM
plant.
One hunter in telling of his expert
ence, says that he killed a moose and
two deer, but was nable to bring them
in. He explained that the shooting was
done at distance of twenty-ei ght
miles from railroad, ard that it. was
impossible for him to get the carcasses
out.
This man is only one of many who
think nothing Of killing a moose for
the head and lea ing the carcass in the
woods, or of killing deer and taking the
trouble only to bring in a saddle of one
venison. 1t is thought that one reason
why hunters are careless in this respect
is that they are not allowed to sell the
venison.
Thousands Of people who get no veni;
son from one years end to the other
are forced to 60 without because they
cannot buy it, and in the meantime, the
earcasses Of probably hundreds Of dee1
and moose are wasted by hunters in
the surrounding territory every season

MAKE
PLEA FOR. RELIEF
Citizens of Lawrence County,
S. D., Petition for a Reduc-

Special to The journal.

Special to The journal.
Lead, S. D., Nov. 25.-Taxpayers Of
Lawrence county propose to make
fight before the state board Of equaliza-
tion for a reduction in the assessment
of the state tax. A committee of three
business men of this city has appeared
before the commissioners with petit
tion asking that the treasurer of the
county be instructed to accept eight
ninths Of all taxes assessed against all
town lots in the county for the year
1905. This will help in lessening the
burden of the county for this year.
In 1908, the Lawrence county COM
missioners voluntarily raised the valu-
alton Of property so per cent, SO that
the state tax for that year amounted to
$49.031, more than double the tax for
the previous year. The report Of the
state auditor shows that Lawrence cou'n-
ty made an increase Of IS per cent on
town lots, while all other counties in
South Dakota gave an increase Of only
IL per cent. The Lawrence county COM
missioners have been investigating the
tax question thoroly and find that taxes
are paid on go per cent greater valu
alton than Minnehaha county on realty
and 40 per cent greater valuation on
farm lands. The same difference is
shown on livestock and household
goods. ! '7--r =. ,.a e..
The commissioners believe the assess
merits are unjust and that the state
board of equalizat ton does not give the
equalization of taxes sufficient at
tention.

This was the astonishingly true
statement made in Iowa City by Miss
Honora DeBusk of San Rafael, n. NJ,
who is the guest Of Prof. H. E. Gordon
She came in the interests Of the Con-
gregational Educational society, and
told Of her work among the Spanish
speaking people on her foreign working
ground. Explaining the circumstances
and the health conditions at her sta
tion, she said: t-.
"There in San Rafael we were fully
seventy-fve miles away from physi-
clan or dentist and + had to act as both
doctor and toothpuller for the natives.
They had no proper conception Of car
ing for their sick ..
''They foster rather than prevent
disease in their unthinking, tho hos
pitable habits, for they insist on visit
ing the sick in the disease filed cham
bers and they take their children with
them almost invariably. Thus contagion
is disseminated and it spreads rapidly
under such circumstances of course.
"The lack Of antitoxin and other
medicines, and the utter absence of
quarantine precautions makes the in
roads Of an epidemic terrible in conse-
quence. The people defy our attempts
at establishing quarantine. AS re.
suit the death rate among children, thru
diphtheria for example, is frightful.' -

him as one of his best friends and loyal

the important measures of that program

Mandan n. D., Nov. pa question
of great interest in the territory known
as Hettinger county, North Dakota, IS
to be decided by vote Tuesday, Dec. 5.
whether the county shall be organized
or not. At present this territory, being
in the unorganized district, has been a
sort cf a garden of eden for stockmen,
where the cattle and sheep could range
on the magnificent grasses almost tue
entire year and fatten for the eastern
markets without costing the owners but
a small per cent of tax. Being in the
unorganized district, they had no county
or school tax to pay and naturally these
barons are not in favor of the organiza-
tion and are doing all in their power to
head off the proposition.
This .resourceful section of the state
has attracted in the past few years
many eastern people who have come
here with their families and located on
government and adjoining lands. They
have come in such numbers that it IS
difficult to get out Of sight of a plowed
field, where but few years ago no cul-
tivation was done. These people want
the county organized. They want
schools in which to educate their chill
dren and in order to secure them the
county must be organized These peo-
pie are perfecting their plans and are
organizing in order to cope with the
opposition
Mott for County Seat.
Nominations for all the county
offices have been made and good repre-
sentative men selected. If the vote at
the election should show the necessary
majority to carry, it is proposed that
the county seat be- established in Mott,
which is near the center of the county,
and in fact the only town in the county.
| Mott was laid out about two years ago
! and is named after the immigration
agent Of the Northern Pacific railway.
The town has two general stores, a
large hotel, a newspaper and few
minor business enterprises, and with the
establishment of a courthouse, and 9
school, the settlers look forward to the
place becoming somewhat important as
a trading center.
A trip. thru this section Of the state
is one Of the most pleasing experiences
one could imagine. AS far as can be
seen, signs Of industry are on every
/ hand. New settlers, full of hope and
expectations, are busily engaged il
erecting new buildings and preparing
their lands for next year 8 crop to say

seems to be that they had not venturet

the organization proposition will win

to the fame of the state.
