Sc Killed, Say Reports.
Although the timber resounds with
the crack of rifles in all the favorite
retreats of the deer, no accident has
so far been reported from any point
in Beltrami, although reports from
outside show that the toll of human
lives will be as great or greater than
in past years. Records compiled
from all deer hunting states show
that Sc persons have been killed.

to get big game have been successful
1.-THE fall of snow Friday morning
followed by the continued fall will
make conditions ideal for huntin!
deer and moose, and word comes tt
me that already many deer and sew
eral moose have been killed. TIL
snow makes tracking easy; and a
deer are more plentiful than for man
years past, hunters are pleased witt
their experiences.
One Deer Law Shortens Season.
"The action of the legislature las
winter in limiting the number G
deer to one for each hunter will I'm
tdoubtedly shorten the season by neal
:ly one-half for the majority of tn
hunters, as the ideal conditions tina
now exist will result in many of the1
securing their one deer very early
the season; and as moose only inhat
it the almost inaccessible places, nc
more than half of those who go t
the woods brave the hardships an
stick until they get a moose. bl
return to the cities early.
All Must Have License.

to hunt big game in his own count
This is changed now; and every pc
son must have a licenseLto hunt de,
and moose in any locality, wheth,
in his own county Or not. It is all
necessary to have two separate
