BIRD SEASON IS LATER Z:
MUCH COMPLAINT MADE
Date of Season Changed from Septem-
Der | to September - Unde-
sirabDe Change.

Many kicks" have been made
on the change which the last legis-
lature made in the date of the be-
ginning of the open season for
killing ducks and chickens. The
season formerly opened on Septem-
Der 1, but forseveral reasons known
only to the supporters of the State
Game & Fish commission, the date
was changed to September 9TH.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press con-
tanned the following concerning the
change of date:
The poor man is the chief suff-
erer from the legislative enactment
changing the opening of the hunt
ing season from Sept. 1 to T. said
James Drummond, chief deputy
auditor, yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Drummond, who greatly
enjoys a hunt, and who says he
believes in giving every man, rich or
poor, a chance for at least a few
days every season, is convinced that
the change in the law was made
through influence of well-to-do
persons.
Formerly, when the season
opened on the first of the month,
this Office issued hundreds of hunters
licenses on the Saturday before
Labor day. Working men availed
themselves of the opportunity to
hunt during Sunday and Monday.
But now they have been robbed of
this chance by legislative enact
ment.'
The scale of hunters licenses
was announced by hugs red-lettered
posters on the county auditors door
yesterday"
Another reason given by some
parties who pretend to know the
reasons for some fool legislation is
that the Game and Fish commits
sion desired the date changed so as
70 please the twin city sportemen
who did not care to hunt until after
the close of the state fair, which is
held this year from August 3O.Sept. 4.
At any rate, we fail to see wherein
the change is at all beneficial to the
birds in question.

a Surprise On His Many

-
Pioneer. Big Gene Grady, the
pitcher of the local baseball team,
went and done it, yesterday; and
the surprising part of it was, nobody
knew it until it was almost all over.
When the local ball team went to
Walker yesterday to play the team
at thas place no one thought any
thing when Gene hoped on the
train after assisting his lady friend.
But when the big fellow made his
way to the court house, the ball
tossers thought they would follow
and investigate. i
Gene made straight for the office
of the Clerk of Court and soon had
passed out to him a nice sheet of
paper.
A little later the supporters of
Grady on the diamond peeked
through the key-hole of Judge
Jamieson's office and saw the whole
thing.
The lucky girl was Miss Maud
Shoares, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

Gene pitched the game scheduled
like a real man, winning by the score
of IA to 4.

who gathered to hear him of his
work in the lumber camps in this
part of the state.
Higgins is good man and

phrase frequently heard from his

and fame ended with the common

Sky Pilot Higgins worked in a

his good work is known to thousands

THE Pioneer Press is doubtless
right, but the point in question is
that Higgins is discovered, for Nor
man Duncan knows how to write a
character sketch. He gives wonder
fully vivid picture of the big-hearted,
self-sacrifcing man who straps a
pack on his back in the winter and
tramps the logging roads from camp
to camp, preaching in bunk houses
the simple gospel of Christ and in
the spring living that same gospel
when he becomes the brother of the
drunken lumberjacks that he may
save them from the horror and
misery of the annual spring debauch.
The thing about Higgins which
seemed to have impressed Norman

a cent" said he bitterly. They
haven't left him a cent! They've
got every penny of three months
wages -.
Don't blame the boy" he pur-
sued, in pain and infinite sympathy,
easing the lads head on the floor;
1T isn't all his fault. He came out
of the camps without telling me-
and some cursed tin-horn gambler
met him, suppose-and he's only a
boy-and they didn't give him a
show-and oh, the pity of it, he's
been here only two days!" -. III
The boy was in a stupor of intoxi-
cation, but presently revived little,
and turned very sick.
That you, pilot" he said.
Yes, Jimmie"
Feel bit better now?"
"Uh-huh."
The boy sighed and collapsed, un-
conscious; Higgins remained in the
weltering filth of the room to ease
and care for him. Don't wait for
me, old man." said he, looking up
from the task. "I'll be busy for a
WHILE"
He who seeks shall find, and this
is the man whom Minnesota per-
mitted New York to have the glory
of discovering. At the coming
Christian Endeavor convention
Higgins will take a prominent part
in the evangelistic work, aud it is
quite probable that St. Paul will be
ready then to acclaim him as it's
own and give to him the credit an
other state had to lead the way in
bestowing.
Mr.. Duncan devotes much space
to Higgins methods of handling
men and also to an analysis Of the
characteristics which have crowned
his work with success. But he tells
practically nothing of the man or
how he came to minister to the lum.
berjacks. One might easily infer
from the article that Mr.. Higgins
was a graduate of college and a
theological seminary and in every
way the conventionally prepared
minister.

missionary zeal carried him to the
lumber and mining camps around
Duluth where he preached to his
fellow men without money and with.
out price. His earnestness and
force aroused the interest of few
Duluthians among them Mr.. Luke
Marvin and Mr.. Ropie, who was
then superintendent of the Bethel
and an effort was made to secure
supply pulpits for the jealous young
preacher. However. it was some
years before he was regularly or.
dained. .:..s.a
His first charge was the Presby-
terian church at Bemidji where he
built up a thriving church and was

mastering desire to help them led
Mr.. Higgins to change his pulpit in

During the recent Gypsy Smith re-
vivals in St. Paul Higgins never
missed a session and was often seen
taking notes during the talks of the
evangelist.
Its too bad the boys in the
woods cannot hear this man." he
said one night after a particularly
stirring appeal. . I only hope I am
able to remember just few of the
mighty things this mighty man
who has travelled every road from

During Month 626 Persons

JANUARY RECORD WAS 500
Chief Bodeker States That Men Have
Been Especially Active Among
Prohibition Niolators and
"Dope" Fiends.
JANUARY RECORD WAS 563

If figures count for anything crime
appears to be on the increase in Biz
mingham. The wardens docket at the
city jail, the original record of the ar
rests made by the police department,
gives up the figures, which show that,
despite the fact that the month just
closed was three days shorter than jan
uary, there were 63 more persons
in the city jail during February than
during the preceding month, giving an
increase in the number of persons ac-
tually committed to the city bastile of
trife over II per cent.
During February there were 626 per-
sons committed to Jail against 563 in
January. During the past month there
were 81 cases of drunkenness and 20
persons were placed in jail on charges
of violating the prohibition law. The
number of arrests made on the latter
charge will run nearer so, however, in
asmuch as a great number of persons
arrested made bond and were never
committed to jail. This same rule APP
plies to the total number of arrests,
which will probably run to nearly 500.
Following is a comparative table
showing the arrests for January and
February:

Despite the oarefulness which Is eXer-

While it has been limited that the in

Mr.. Nesbitt stated that the work of
the commission today would consist in
discharging the usual routine duties, and
that the meeting was the regular session
held on the first day of each month. In
addition to the charge of Mr.. Drakeford
the commission will investigate an adj

service given Tuskegee is not as good
as 1t should be- The enort of the Coast
Line to discontinue service at Tenille
will be another matter for the commits

service of the Southern between Jasper
and Sheffield should be improved.
