CHIEF WARDEN BANCROFT HAS
COMPLETED HIS REPORT
FOR FIRST YEAR
OUTLINES SOME CHANGES
Advises Abolition of Spring Shooting
---Would Establish State Fish
Hate hery---W Sein-
ing Restricted

Watertown-Showin that the South
Dakota game law has operated sat S
factorily during its first year ending
July l last, and that the departmen,
Of game and fish accomplished much
more than was expected by it's frien IS
the first annual report Of the deEa,t
ment has been completed by State
Game Warden w. f. Bancroft Of tl.s
city and will be transmitted to Gov
ernor Vessey.
The report embodies Mr.. Brancroft's
recommendations to the next le2isla-
ture. Several minor changes are de-
sired by th department, the defects
having been detected in the first years
experience. 1t is urged that the ap
pointing power of the county game
wardens be taken out Of the hands of
the county commissioners and either
vested in the state game warden, or
be made an elective office In many
counties county game wardens have
been lax in their duty and the s a-e
game warden has no way to force
their hand as the law now stands.
The entire abolition of spring shoot
ing is advised The Minnesota law is
cited as a worthy example. ieJter
regulation of sening for fish, is asked
The department wishes to stop al
seining except such as is specinla ally
authorized by the state game warden.
FISH HATCHERY WANTED.
The warden says he is planning two
projects-tirst, the esta ablishment of
state fish hatchery, and second the m
PRODUCTION of the Chinese r ng neck
phaesants into the game feds o. the
state. The state game fund Will &C
cumulate rapidly at rate OF let
than 10000 a year. The department.
wishes to use the fund for these pur-
poses.
There were issued in the state last
year 26,199 resident licenses, lS3 nom
resident lcenuses Tor featbered game,
y for big game, 6l for fishing, a."
for trapping From these the state
derived a net revenue o. sl4,t4- OF
which there remains in the teaSury
afr paying all the expenses Of the
game department, including the salary
of the state warden, about $40, %.
The nonresident license fees alone
will pay the expenses OF the depart
ment.
BAN ON CHICKEN SHOOTING
NEAR END.
No mention is made Of the prairie
chicken propositio in which the
sportsmen of the state now have the
greatest interest The present law
ends the closed season next september
and the 1911 legislature must make
new provision. Concerning this Mr..
| Bancroft says:
After having sounded the senn-
ment of the sportsmen in every sec
ton of the state ! find there is wide
difference of opinion as to what
should be done. Hence ] not take
the matter up. | will call a meeting
Of the county game wardens in huron
during the state fair and will extend
the invitation to all spo tsmen who
wish to be present. There we VII,
thresh the matter out and decided,
possible upon what is best ! think,
however, that chicken shooting VIII
be permitted in South Dakota during
the fall of 1911, as the birds are plen-
tiful, having increased very rapidly
this year. But it will be for snort
time only, probably for fifteen days. .

Lively tits between counsel for the de-
fence on one side. and former Police Com

Division after perusaI Of the alleged false

The resolution expresses the belief that
there need be no serious difficulty in
reasonably adjusting such differences as
may from time to time arise between the
fouse Of Commons and a reformed sec
ono chamber, but that if such differences
arise IN connection with great and vital
ISSUES particularly when those issues
AFFECT the constitution itself, it is the
people and the people alone who have
the right TO decide when the two houses
fail to agree.
AS this resolution was drawn up by

tives at the conference.

LAND OFFICE DECISION
Locations Shall Not Be Made
Until After Mineral Is
Discovered

A decision in regard to the pa
tenting of mineral claims has been
made by the General Land Office.
In future no patents will be issued
to applicants unless oil or mineral
has been discovered on the appli-
cants, claims before notice of loca
ton were filed. This decision is
along the line of the prevailing law,
and in fact is not voicing anything
new.
The case in which the decision has
been made involves oil lands in
Kern county, California. located
January l, 1909. The final entry
was made October 16, 1909, and ac-
cepted by the land office there.
Patent to the oil land is refused
on the ground that oil in paying
quantities was not discovered for
some time after the date of locat-
ing. The applicants are to be given
an opportunity to submit evidence
in their behalf if they care to do so.
In communicating its decision to
the land office, the General Land
Office calls attention to Section
1920, United States Revised Stat
utes, which provides that no loca,
ton of a mining claim shall be made
until the discovery of the vein or
lode within the limits of the claim
located"
Although this statute is an old
one, it's existence practically has
been ignored for some time. 1t has
been the custom of land offices
throughout the country to accept
final entries on mineral claims
whether oil or mineral had beer
discovered prior to date of location
or not.

What is a Day?

What is a day? In the sense in
which the word is commonly used,
day" includes the period of light
as distinguished from that of dark
ness. This period of light to peo-
pie in the Middle States means
merely a certain number of hours
out of the "a, but it may mean any
length of time under six months,
according to the latitude of the OBJ
server and the season Of the year.
Another popular meaning is the
space of "a hours, including a per-
iod of light and a period of dark
ness. This, again, is not the same
all the world over, as the time of
the commencement and termination
vary in different countries; some
reckon from sunset to sunset, some
from dawn to dawn, while modern
civilized nations count from mid
night to midnight.
Astronomers also have their var
ious days; the absolute solar day,
ranging from about half a minute
under to the same amount over "a
hours at different times of the year;
the mean solar day being our COM
mon day of "a hours; the lunar day
of nearly 25 hours, and the sidereal
day of about four seconds short of
"a hours.
The succession of day and night
depends on the rotation of the
earth on it's axis, and since the
earth is of globular shape, it is
evident that the whole of its sur
face cannot be turned toward the
sun at one and the same moment.
In other words, is cannot be noon
all over the earth at precisely the
same time. A little thought will
show that whenever it is noon at
any one place it is midnight on the
opposite side of the earth, and at
the different points between all the
times of day are at one and at the
same moment to be found. New

A Revolutionary Puzzle

These odd rhymes were written
in the early part of the Revolution
airy War-about 1776. If read as
written they are a tribute to the
King and his army, but if read
downward on either side of the COM
ma they indicate an unmistakable
spirit of rebellion to both King and
Parliament. The author is un-
known:
Hark, bark, the trumpet sounds, the
din of wars alarms
Der seas and solid grounds, doth
call us all to arms,
Who for King George doth stand,
their honors soon shall shine,
Their ruin is at hand, who with the
congress join.
The acts of Parliament, in them ]
much delight.
| hate their cursed intent, who for
the Congress fight.
The Tories of the day, they are my
daily toast,
They soon will sneak away, who in.
dependence boast,
Who nonresistant hold, they have
my hand and heart,
May they for slaves be sold, who
act the Whiggish part,
On Mansfield, North and Butte, may
daily blessings pour,
Confusion and dispute, on Congress
evermore,
To North and British Lord, may
honors still be done,
| wish a block and cord, to General
Washington.
