Anent Game Laws.

County Auditor Wilm ann has
issued thirty -one huntinglicen
for this season. Many inquiries
are made relative to the law gov
erning the requirement for
license to hunt. 1t is necessary
for anyone who desires to hunt
big game, whether in his own
county or another county, to Sc.
cure a license, which he must get
from the county auditor of the
county in which he resides.
No one needs a license to hunt
small game in his home county,
but must have a license to hunt
that class of game in any other
county. The season for hunting
big game (deer and moose) opens
Novem Der 10 and closes Novem-
Der 80. Two deer and one moose
(the latter must be a male) are
allowed to be killed, lawfully, and
the killing Of COW moose is pro
hibited.

grows up he will be drum major or a

becomes a man finds himself so busy
satisfying the appetite of the always

achieve but never attaining the emf
nence of being the head of his own
household, chasing at the earnest So
licitation of his many friends the po-
litical prominence which forever eludes
him, selecting the particular brand of
health fodder that will injure him the
least, running after or away from
something or other, getting off a few
well chosen words, trying to collect or
evade that which is justly coming to
him, placating his wife's relatives, ac-
cumulating badness, pointing with
pride or viewing with alarm, and SO on
and so forth, that before he has time to

The primary election is over
and, while the returns are not
complete, they furnish data for
a safe estimate of the final re.
suits. '... .
A resume of the outcome as it
appeared at 8 o'clock this after.
noon is as follows: Opsah]
seems to have won handily over
McCuaig for representative;
Hanson apparently has the sena.
torship cinched; Regan has been
decisively defeated by Stewart,
Funkley is over two hundred
ahead Of Gibbons todate, Bailey
is an easy leader in the fight for
sheriff; Harris, while pushed
hard for register of deeds,
seems to have Riddell beat;
George is 81 in the lead of Viii.
mann for county auditor, Wes
Wright had a walk away for
county commissioner from the
First district. Clark for probate
judge and Rhoda for clerk of
court also won out easily.
These statements are based
on the returns from twenty five
precincts out of possible sixty.
The precincts yet to be heard
from are the sparcely populated
country districts.
Opsahl's victory is greater
than even his friends dared to
hope for. He lost the city by
just one vote, but he is ahead in
the county now 1853 votes, with
every prospect of increasing his
lead; while in Clearwater county
eight precincts out of sixteen
gave him a majority of 173, with
a prospect of increasing it to 300.
Red Lake county: where McCuaig
hoped to run the strongest, has
gone for Opsahl by 100 votes,
with twelve out of fifteen pre-
cincts yet to hear from.
Hanson has carried the twenty
five Beltrami county precincts
over Leightbourn and Simons by
1871, while in Clearwater he has a
lead of 139, and in Red Lake
county of seventy five.
One of the hottest fights in the
county was that ofcounty auditor.
George won out in the city here,
but lost ground in the country.

by a score of II to 9, and the
other going to the range team,
9 too.
In the second game the

when they saw they had no

to do the same thing here, but

Bemidji can rightfully claim

northern Minnesota team that
defeated Hib bing this year.

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Charlotte, n. c.. Aug. 21-What is regarded
as an exceedingly bold attempt on the part OF
New England cotton mills. manufacturers and
operators. has been uncovered here by mill men
of the South in the so-called immigration bill.
originating in the Senate. After the educational
clause in Section sc. which provides that immi-
grants shall be able to read English. is tackled
on this addition:
Provided further. that the provisions OF this
bill shall not apply to aliens entering from
Canada Newfoundland after they have
proven that they have been domiciled in any OF
the said countries for period OF three years.
This clause strung on to the end Of the edu-
cational clause would, if it becomes law stop all
immigration in the New England States as
these immigrants would take advantage of en-
tering the country from the Dominion Of Canada
and Newfoundland and, finding ready openings
and good pay in New England. would never
reach the South.
