The Prairie Hen

Kimball Graphic The people of
the Western prairies should realize
that all game laws are not in the in
terest of the few-as some would
have them believe but in the interest
of the many, Of which they consti-
tute the major part. The prairie
chickens should be protected with
reasonable assurance of maintaining
the supply if for no other reason
than the food they furnish to the
farmer, to the stockman and to the
ranoher. With this, the pursuit of
them furnishes the youth of the
prairie homes about the only recrea-
ton with dog and gun that the
country affords.
The rich and well-to-do can either
stock private game preserves or
journey afar off to distant lands
where game is plentiful. To this
latter class the coming or going of
prairie chicken is of small moment,
for the whole world is theirs in the
pursuit of pleasure. N"twithstand-
ing this, and the further fact that
the prairie chicken is the best friend
in bird life that the farmer has. de-
stroying as it does, myriads of bugs
and grasshoppers and never molest-
ing standinggrain, ~nine-tenths of the
opposition to effective same laws in
every Legislative assembly comes
from the farmer members.
There is a feeling among this class
of men that game protection is in the
sole interest of the city sportsmen,
notwithstanding that the laws Of
most states have stringent trespass
laws which give to the farmer alb
solute control of his lands where the
prairie chickens breed and make
their homes. The city sportsmen
are perfectly willing that it should
be so, resting in the belief that there
will always be enough birds to get
over the line to give reasonable
sport.

Sale Day A Big Success

Volga Tribune-The first sale day
in this city last Saturday was gener-
ally a big success, and the streets re-
sembled a Forth of July occasion.
The stores were densely packed with
people anxious to take advantage of
the bargains advertised by the mer-
chants.
The auction sale of all kinds of
merchandise in the old Porter build
ing on the east of the street was well
attended and it was found that the
building was far too small to accom-
modate the crowd wishing to bid on
the goods offered.
The merchants selling general
merchandise all report excellent
sales and they and their clerks had
all they could do to wait on their
customers.
The specials at several of the
stores vel snapped up very quickly
and the customers arriving later in
the afternoon were disappointed in
not being able to be supplied.
The sandwiches and coffee at the
city hall proved to be a drawing card
and was much appreciated by the
visitors from the country who came
in cold and hungry.
The jar of beans at the city hall at
tracted considerable attention and
a large number Of guesses as to the
number of beans contained in the
jar were recorded some of them be-
ing very close.
The prize for the largest family
was given to w. r. Reeves without
opposition, as when he walked into
Carver's store accompanied by his
wife and twelve children the matter
was settled. The prizs was a hand
some rocker.
Later Since the foregoing was put
in type the Merchants Association
has decided to hasse another sale day
q week from next Saturday. Dec. Is.
The auction sale Of merchandise will
be contained and the several merch-
ants win make special prices for that
day.
Provision VIII be made for q Farm
er's Auction and the association win
provide an ~auctioneer t. auction of
%sstever the farmers bring to town
for sale.
