MIR. KANE DENIES 1T.
Says Crawford Management Didn't
Destroy Window Cards.

The State Journal is in receipt of a
letter from A. S. Kane, of Crawford &
Kane, local managers of the Crawford
theater, denying the statement of B. c.
Roberts printed in the State Journal
last evening that the Crawford bill pos
ters were annoying and harassing the
bill posters of the new Star Vaudeville
theater. by throwing out and destroy
ing window cards placed in local store
windows by the bill posters of the latter
theater.
Mr.. Kane declares that the Crawford
management has not issued instIuc-
lions to the billpOsterS to carry on this
sort of proceeding and also says that
the billposters deny that they have done
anything of this nature.
The trouble seems to be between the
New Star theater and the Crawford
theater. B. c. Roberts of the new Star
theater declares that their window
cards have been thrown out by Craw-
ford's billposters, and Mr.. Kane denies
the allegations. Further developments
in the case may be awaited.

Governor johnson has officially de-

Labor Day and in his proclamation
says the following: Labor is the
basis of all wealth and prosperity, In
the community of interests. so essen
tial to our well being and progress,
the relation of the employer and en-
ploye should not be strained, Be-
tween capital and labor there should
be no difference. Labor, seldom ask
ing more, should always be given a
fair chance. In all problems involv-
ing any difference between capital and
labor there should not only be just
liberation, but wise,and patriotic con-
sideration. In this day let there not
only be the healthful recreation of a
holiday, but discussion of problems
looking toward settlement of differ
ences, the realization of the true dig
nifty of labor and the establishment of
all industry on the basis of equal
rights to every citizen. Let full CO.
operation follow, and in the enjoy
ment of this day let the central
thought be the upbuilding of the
state and the nation and the eleva-
tion of the citizens to the highest
possible standard.

Attached to the license this year are

One is for moose, two for deer, and
two for game birds. These shipping

Although there have been a number
of applications made at the auditors
office for licenses, none have yet been
issued. 1t is expected when the aft
davits are ready there will be quite a
rush of people for hunting licenses,
Last season there were days that the
auditors office was crowded with per-
sons after hunting licenses. So much
clerical work is connected with the
making out Of proper forms that the
process is necessarily slow one.
In issuing a license this year the
auditor or his deputy will have in adj
|dition to filing out the license, to write
the number of the license thirteen
times, the name of the county seven
teen times and the applicants de-
scription four times. When it is re-
membered that the county usually is
sues from $500 to 5000 hunting lie
enses in a year, some idea can be had
of the clerical work entailed.
The licenses cost 81, are non-trans-
ferable and expire Dec. 81, 1905. There
must be a personal application for ev-
cry license issued. This means that
aperson residing away cannot procure
a license by proxy or through the
mails. He must be present himself

deputy when the description is writ.

weight. color of the eyes. complexion
any distinctive marks.
Quite number of people do not yet
understand that license to hunt both
big and small game is included in the
one form issued by the county auditor.
To hunt birds in this county a person
does not need license, but the resi-
dent of one county must have license
if he desires to hunt birds in another
county of this state. Then, too, no
birds can be shipped, even within the
county where they were shot, without
the shipping coupon found on hum
ting license.
