HANSON SURE BILL CAN PASS
Ada Senator Hopes Extra Session Will
49,. Be Held This Winter.
Crookston Daily Times says:

CrOOkStOn Daily Times says:
senator A. L. Hanson came up
from Ada this morning en- route to
Thief River Falls and spent an hour
or so in the city through delayed
trains. Senator Hanson was asked
regarding the extra session PROPOSE
ton and said: =, .
"I hope an extra session will be
called. I feel sure reapportionment
bill would be passed; but it would
not be patterned after the socalled
Hanson bill which I introduced by
request at the last session.
"'We might as we'll get away from
the idea that the southern members
are going to vote themselves a lesser
representation. It would be impos-
sible to eliminate one or two per-
haps, but as a whole they will vote
to retain their present membership,
though they are willing to give us
representation based on what they
have. r.r..'- r-f -..
The sOcalled Hanson bill was too
much of partisan measure. It hit
at the democratic members and left
the republican membership undis-
turbed as far as possible. This is
not just or proper :
"A Ex-senator bill could have been
passed at the last session and I be-
lieve a Ex-senator bill would have
passed. y zs.-,--.s35.. IA

MAY NAME MACKENZIE
Governor Said to Be Friendly Toward
Bemidji Man for Place Vacated BY
Death of George Welsh.
MENTIONED BEFORE FOR OFFICE

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 1.-As the
result of the death here on Wednes-
day of State immigration Commits
sioner George Welsh from typhoid
pneumonia, it is freely predicted that
Governor Eberhart will name W. R.
Mackenzie to fill the position.
Some time ago there were persist
ent rumors that Mr.. Mackenzie was
scheduled for the place but Mr..
Welsh silenced them by letting it be
known that he had no intention of
resigning.
. Mr.. Welsh had been immigration
commissioner since 1907, when the
office was created and he has held it
ever since, working zealously for the
-upbuilding and settlement of Min
nesota, being especially active in his
endeavors in behalf of Northern
Minnesota.
While the shock of Mr.. Welsh s
death is, still too great to cause much
speculation as to his successor, the
whispered conclusions about the capi-
tol are that Mr.. Mackenzie can have
the place if he wants it, Mr.. Mack
enzie has arranged to open a display
room for the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment associations immigration
commission in Minneapolis the first
of the year and he may not wish to
give up this proposed work.
It is believed, however, that Mr..
Mackenzie will accept the place if it
is formally offered him by Governor
Eberhart. Governor Eberhart will
not be at the capitol for several days
as he now is east travelling on the
governors special F. =

LEAP FROM TRAIN FATAL
Charles McI1saith, Travelling With
Walter Hill, Falls on Rails at
Cass Lake.
RUSHED TO BEMIDU ON SPECIAL

i = x d & Z =
While accompanying Walter Hill
son of j. J. Hill. from Northcote
MINI. to Duluth with a car of draft
horses Charles McIlsaith, 20 years
old, made leap for rapidly moving
/ caboose at Cass Lake, missed and fell
beneath the wheels, having his right
leg and arm ground off and receiv-
ing other injuries from which he died
in St. Anthony's hospital here, where
he was rushed on a special train
| McIlsaith was employed on the
Hill farm at Northcote. His father,
at that place, was notified and came
to Bemidji for the body which had
been prepared for shipment by Ray
Murphy, the undertaken, and the
funeral and interment will be held at
that place. ...- ~
Mr.. Hill was much effected by the
tragic death of his companion and
employe and pays the dead man a
high tribute. When he learned of
McIlsaith's death Mr.. Hill wept.
The accident occurred while the
train was switching at Cass Lake.
The young man enormously thought
the train was pulling out and that
unless he made the leap that he
would be left when as a matter of
fact the train was merely making
for the switch.
At the moment he made the effort
to swing on the caboose the train
was moving rapidly and because of
the snow and ice and probably be-
cause he was not an expert in max
ing the leap he fell and in striking
the ground his arm and leg landed
across the rails, the rear wheels of
the car cutting them off. For u
few moments he was conscious but
soon became senseless. .:s
| Mr.. Hill quickly arranged for a
special to come to Bemidji and a re-
cord breaking run was made. the
speed exceeding mile a minute
but there was no hope for the in
jured man and he died in about an
| hour after he reached this city.
Mr.. McIlsaith was in charge of the
car of horses which were being taken
to Duluth to be used in the woods
this winter. The horses were from
the Hill farm at Northcote where Nc
Ilsaith was employed.

In Bemidji 539 Big Game Licenses
Issued; State Sends Out Total
Of $4,000.
QUAIL SHOOTING ALSO ENDS
About Only Thing Left for Sportsmen
is to Chop Hole in Ice and Catch
Certain Fish.

In the 20 day hunting season
which came to close yesterday it
is estimated that not less than 5000
and possibly as many as 10000 deer
and 100 moose, were slaughtered in
northern Minnesota.
In Bemidji with the shipping sea-
son open for five days more, the Great
Northern Express company today had
handled about 1875 deer while the
Western Express company has han
died enough more to make the total
close to 200. Seven moose are
known to have been taken through
here. .
539 Licenses Issued Here.
County Auditor George issued .539
big game licenses and IA for small
game. Each of these cost the holder
81 but the county derives no revenue,
County auditors are allowed ten per
cent for issuing the licenses and the
remainder of the money goes to the
state.
Although the hunting season for
deer and moose closed at midnight
last night She big game licenses
read "good until December 49, The
law makes it legal to ship game
killed previous to December 1 up to
and including December 5, but why
license should be marked good un-
til December Is is puzzle that Au-
ditor George has not been able to
solve.
Sent Out $4,000 Licenses.
H. A. Rider, of the state game and
fish commission, sent out $4,000
blank licenses to county auditors,
most of which were sold.
While few returns have been made
to the executive Office, Mr.. Rider es-
Inmates that between 5000 and 1O,-
600 deer have been slaughtered dur
ing the twenty-day open season. Sew
eral weeks probably will e1apse be-
fore an accurate estimate may be
based on returns from county audi
tors.
The season has not proved unusu-
ally hard to hunters very few
cases having been reported of men
being shot, Some horses and COWS,
which had the misfortune to resemble
deer in color, have been slain.
1t is now unlawful to shoot quail,
partridge, ruffled grouse, pheasant,
wild duck, goose, or any other variety
of aquatic fowl. Likewise. it will be
unlawful to shoot elk, caribou, beav-
er or any variety of pheasants. These
are protected at all seasons of the
year.
Can Fish Through the Ice.
The sportsman whose yearning for
amusement will not permit him to
remain indoors, may chop hole in
the ice and endeavor to catch black,
gray or Oswego bass. He may also
seek pike, muskallonge, crappies,
perch, sunfish, catfish, sturgeon, pick
erel, suckers, redhorse, carp, bull
heads, white fish or trelipies, with
out infracting any state law.
Not until April 1 5 does real fishing
open and then any trout except the
lake variety, may be taken. The
season for pike, muskallonge, crap
pies, perch, sunfsh, catfish and stur-
geon will reopen May 1, after having
been closed two months. The season
for black, gray or Oswego bass opens
