House Approves Game Bill.

After fighting for the better part of
three days over the Dunn bill to amend
the fish and game laws, the House
finally adopted the report of the COM
mittee of the whole and approved the
bill on second reading with but few
changes from the present statute.
The bill increases the number of
special game wardens in the open sea-
son on deer from ten to twenty, and
makes the open season October LIST to
October 10th. 1t establishes fishing
license of 81 per year for non-resi-
dents and makes the open season on
trout May 25th to November Goth,
opening five days earlier than at pres
ent.
Practically all day was spent by the
house in fighting over the question
whether a license should be charged
for fishing. The bill as drawn pro-
vioed a 81 license for residents of
Colorado and 50 for non-residents.
Nearly every member GRATED one way
or the other and in committee of the
whole both licenses We're accepted.
When the committee rose, the fight
was waged all over again. Long moved
to strike out the enactinG clause. His
motion was lost, however. and finally,
through the efforts of Goodfriend of
Leadville, the resident fishing license
was killed.

Western Federation Claims.

Five bills presented to the Senate
to pay for damages to Western Fed
Grafton of Miners property during the
troubles in Cripple Creek have been
consolidated into two bills by the SEN
ate committee on finance. Horace N
Hawkins, attorney for the federation,
appeared before the committee with
numerous amendments he had to pro-
pose to the bills, which were intro
duced by Senator Casaday. These
amendments confine into one bill the
four demands of the Western Fedora
ton for damages, and into another bill
the demand of the miners union build
ing association. A section is added
providing that none of the accounts
shall be paid until the state auditing
board has passed upon the claims pre-
sented. Mr.. Hawkins pointed out that
there would be chance to have the
bills declared defective and void unless
some such provision was incorporated.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-03-06
Civil Service Bills.

There are several bills before the
Senate and House now in regards to
the civil service law. One provides
for the adjustment of the act and an
other, prepared by attorneys of the
civil service commission, suggests that
wardens of the penitentiary and re-
formatory should have to pass an ex-
animation by the board before they
could accept an appointment by the
governor. Governor Shafroth has
been in favor of direct appointing
power without examination and this
will be the measure advocated by the
party leaders and having the indorse-
ment of the governor in the Legisla-
ture
The Colorado statesman., 1909-03-06
Civil Service Amendment.

Two main amendments to the civil
service law are recommended in the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed by Governor Shafroth to draft
opinions as to the constitutionality of
the act. The recommendations are
that the wardens of the penitentiary
and the reformatory should not be
under the civil service and that all
state employees coming under civil
service regulations should take exami-
nations every two years. or whenever
the general elections bring in a new
set of executives.

The general prosperity of Den
yer is no better exemplified than
in the steady growth of the
Michaelson Bros store. The
Michaelson Bros. have persist
emily followed the policy of best
values and have consequently
built upon a substantial founda-
ton. Believing in the theory
that every successful mercantile
establishment must have certain
advantages. the Michaelson Bros.

who appreciate values to such an
extent that expansion becomes a
matter of necessity. This extern
sion will be quite an improve
ment to the locality when the
candy and the fruit store and the
saloon on the corner are con-
verified into a modern business
establishment, an addition to the
Michaelson Bros store. The Fiji

Fifteenth street entrance will
naturally add much to the stores

MANDAN PIONEER
BOOSTS PACKARD

Mandan Pioneer: In view OF the
overwhelming victory of Hon. A. NJ.
Packard in the recent city election, the
Pioneer is impelled to voice to the re-
publicans Of North Dakota a sentiment
that has been rapidly gaining ground
in this part Of the state for some time.
Farmers, working men and business
men on all sides are demanding that
Mr.. Packard allow his name to be used
as q candidate for governor, and in
this demand the Pioneer joins heartily.
Seldom we believe has there been such
a general and wide spread desire to
advance a fellow citizen TO such high
office as we hear about us on the
streets of our local towns.
And the reasons for II are worth con-
sidering. Mr.. Packard is a man OF
state wide reputation, reputation for
political and business integrity one
well might envy. He belongs TO no
faction, he has no political enemies
and thousands OF friends The re-
publican party of this state has been
torn and disrup- ed long enough and
1t is now time for them to unite on q
man. one who is strong in his home
community. strong over the state, who
is not advanced by any faction but by
the people who have known him for
years and who have confidence In his
honesty and ability.

convention and attended many since
that time. He was a member OF the
board Of trustees Of the state peni-
tentiary under Governor Miller AS
past grand master Of the grand lodge
of the 1. o. o. F. and past grand
patriarch OF the Grand Encampment
he is the only man in the state who
has ever held both honors. For many
years he was a member of the volun-
teer fireman's organization of this city
and was chief OF the fire department
In 1896, when the railway shops were
burned. He has also served as presi-.
dent of the state Fireman's associa-
tion and has been a member OF the
legislature from Morton county. He is
a member OF the legal fraternity. His
acquaintance In the state is wide.
In Offering Mr.. Packard as a candi-
date for governor his friends point
with pride TO his vote getting abilities.
He is the present register OF deeds for
Morton county and has served for
four successive terms and as such Is .
painstaking Official He was elected
to this Office at the last election with
out opposition and at the other times
his majorities were large. At the re-
cent city election. after clean fair
campaign, he was elected over his op-
ponent, who is a state offlcial. by
vote Of almost three to one. and 1t is
safe to predict that II he were can
didate for governor he would carry
this county and the entire slope BY an
overwhelming majority.
It is time the so-called factions Of
the republican party were putting their
ears to the ground and listen to the
rumblings OF the voice or the people.
Let the rank and file put forth their
man and they will stand by him with
their votes. The people OF the slope
want fair man. capable man, q
winner, In short they want Packard.
