The GAME Law

For those whose trigger fingers are
itching, the following digest of the
game laws may be valuable:

tected in much the same manner as by
previous laws. Traps and mechanical
devices are prohibited and sunrise and
sunset determined by calendar. Decoys
may be used for shooting water fowl.
Hunters shall not hunt in standing
grain or among shocks of punched fax.
Possession of game during the closed
season will be prima facie evidence
that the same was killed out of season.
Prairie chickens. Grouse. wood cock,
etc., may be hunted from September 7
to November 1 inclusive. This is a
week later than the old law.
The open season for ducks, geese.
etc.. extends from September 7 to Dec
ember IS inclusive.
All spring shooting is prohibited as to
both classes of game birds.
Local licenses may be obtained from
the county auditor for one dollar.

Friday night for Dalhart, Texas, to
attend the annual meeting of the expert
menters that are dealing with problems
connected with dry land agriculture.
Mr.. Tysell will read a paper at the
meeting prepared by Supt. L. r. Wal
dron and Chas. fl. Clark, dealing with
alfalfa planted under various condi-
tions. This paper shows the effect of
crowding of alfalfa in its relation to the
water supply of the plant and to the
yield. This is only one of a series of
studies upon alfalfa that are being

SCHOOL TEACHER FAVORED
GETS HER HOMESTEAD

An Aberdeen dispatch says SIN the
case of Efie M. Walker and A. o.
Stranger as transferee. for a tract of
land in Hyde county, the secretary Of
the interior overrules the decision of the
general land Office in %cancelline the
proof of Miss Walker, to a tract of land
Oh which she made Communication proof.
The claimant filed on the tract Of land
in 1905 and made residence on the
claim and committed the entry in 1906.
Later she sold the tract to Stranger, and
in August, 1906. a special agent of the
government recommended q cancellation
of the prof on the ground of insufficient
residence and lack of cultivation. On a
hearing it was shown that the claimant
had provided a comfortable small house
on the tract had broken five acres,
which was cultivated and had used the
claim as a home while she taught
school at a point about four miles from
the tract. She boarded near her
school during that time. but went to
the claim every Friday evening aud re-
turned to her school Monday mornings.
The house was comfortably furnished
and supplied with fuel. When final
proof vas made the claimant left her
belongings in the house until q part
of the building and contents were
stolen, after which she sold the part of
the house left and took her other prop
erty away. This wa given as one of
the evidences of bad faith on her part.
After a review of the evidence the
secretary holds that residence was good
and reverses the commissioner. This
finding is of more than ordinary inter-
est to hundreds of women ho~mesteaders
in the west who are making their living
teaching while holding claims. and
will likely be a precedent in more than
! one case.

Miss Hostetler has made one of the

one is secured, Is continued in office in

that the schools are better off with an

Facts and Figures About Cost Of Street

Facts and Figures About Cost Of Street
Paving.
| Oshkosh, Wis. has just opened bids
on paving as follows: burlington brick
block s199, concrete s1,29, granitoid
s1.S41s.
The above will give an idea of the
comparative costs of brick and con-
crete.
Mason City let contract for con-
crete this year at s1.25. Her sand
cost so cents per cubic yard, stone SIPS
per cubic yard and cement $3.50 per
| barrel.
( Sand and cement can be had in Mar
! shal,town at the same price and stone
at $50. This would make Mason
Citv's pavement cost s1.32- in Mar
shailtown this year.
If it is desired to put granite chips
in the wearing surface it would add
6l5 cents per square yard to the cost
! making the total $685.. These fig
ures are authentic being furnished by

1t is said by brick men that Daven
port has some bad concrete but we
know that Marshalltown has some bad
brick pavement on East Main street
and Davenport is laying more concrete
this year.
Fond du Lack laid one and one-half
miles of concrete in 1908 as a test and
it was so good that she laid six miles
of it in 1909.
Mason City paved some alleys in the
business district with concrete last
year as a trial and contracted for lot
of il on her streets this year
Professor Marston. of the Ames en-
gineering school endorses the Mason

ence Mo. endorse concrete pavements
laid there several years ago.

The above cities all use granite or

A paving contractor who actually
wants the job will always estimate the
cost of paving higher than he intends
to bid so as to keep the bidding UP as
much as possible.
There is no one personally interested
in plain, unpatented concrete, to push
its merits while the brick, creosote
