TIMBER AND STONE LAW
Will Probably not be Repealed by
Congress This Time.

Advices from Washington are TO
the effect that the Timber and Stone
law will not be repealed this winter.
AT least this Is the superstition OF a
large number Of people at the capitol
who are keeping in close touch with
the work of the various committees
on public lands
The interior department has re-
commended repeal and so did special
commission which was named TO re-
wise the land laws, but il was found
that If the act was repealed the irri-
cation fund would suffer very mater.

new CODE
Went into Effect March First--In.
teresting Work.

A week ago yesterday the new code
adopted by the Minnesota state legis-
lature went into effect. There has
been no revision since 1878. In 1901,
a commission was appointed to revise
and codify the existing statutes, COM
prising the last revision and all
amendments and laws enacted since
that time. This revision was adopted
in 1905 and the date Of its going into
effect was set for March /, 1906. The
legislature assumed that this would
be ample time to get the work in
shape but, as matter of fact the
first of the new volumes was not de-
livered to the secretary of state for
distribution until Monday Of last
week, and copies could only be fur
nished the supreme court and several
district judges by March 1st. The law
yers have as vet been unable TO secure
copies and feel that it will be unsafe
to take any important legal actions
until the code can be consulted. The
Municipal Courtreceived a copy of the
new code this week. Many changes
have been made and until copies
enough have been printed and circul-
ated to put. them into the hands of
those interested nothing much can be
done by the attorneys.

Because Herman Pete sold a team
Of horses to Jacob Maxi without in
forming him, as alleged, of chattel
mortgage on the animals, suit is en-
tered in district cnurt involving Il
difference of SIG.
The case is an appeal taken by the
defendant, Pete, from decision in

ting judgment to the respondents
plaintiff. Maxi for the amount stated.
1t is recited in the record that the
sale of the team for $3.50 was made
years ago, the sum being paid to
Jacob Lampi, Pete's father-in-law
This was according TO agreement. and
Maxi in turn sold the team to a..
Osterberg.
1t is alleged that chattel mort
gage on the horses came to light after
Osterberg purchased them and that
it cost him 800 to get clear bill OF
sale. He promptly sued Maxi and Sc
cured judgment for the amount and
the latter then sought similar redress
from Pete, who sold him the team.
Judge Cosgrove allowed him S1l6 and
Pete appealed to district court to
avoid payment.

Regarding Fish Laws.

"a great deal of misunderstanding
exists in regard to the fish laws" said
5. Il. Fullerton, executive agent of
the state game and fish commission.
mo fishing is allowed in Minnesota
during March and April with heck
and line; that is. no one can use the
hook and line in these TWO months,
as they are the spawning months for
fish, and everyone who wishes to pro-
tect the fish will realize that this is a
necessity. Spearing can be done,
pickerel and rough fish. at all times,
but these fish are only for domestic
use and not for sale.
mo Minnesota fish will be allowed
to be sold during March and April.
Frozen fish that have been in stock,
lake trout and lake white fish may be
handled, but no Minnesota fish, such
as perch, crappies, wall-eyed pike,
pickerel or bass will be allowed TO be
sold or lad in possession for purposes
of sale during these months"

Be Careful.

A warning has been sent out In re-
gard to Mrs. Gratz who Is making
the various towns OF the state solicit
ing funds. In some places she is re-
ported as soliciting funds for work
for children, in other places as for a
rescue home. for unfortunate girls.
Investigation has revealed the fact
that she is not the representative of
any board or anything worthy of the
name of charity. She conducts pri-
vate lying in place where women are
taken for pay. There is nothing Of
the character of a rescue home or any,
thing that is worthy of a claim upon
charitable people. For information
concerning her and her methods apply

1--WE offer no apology for adding to
our long list Of music companies the
Royal Male Quartette. Since the
Meistersingers toured the north two
years ago a constant demand for re-
turn dates has poured in on us, and
we felt that no other organization we
could offer would take the place Of a
male quartette along the same lines
as the Meistersingeas. The Royal
Male Quartette is not composed Of
new, untried people-all are trained
voices unsteady and all have had ex-
perience in concert and club work.
