MORE ENDURANCE
SKI RACES soon
SEVERAL RIDERS WILL TRY TO
LOWER TIME MADE LAST
SUNDAY BETWEEN CAL
UMET AND HOTON.

Several copper country ski riders
will make an attempt next Sunday TO
lower the time made in the recent en-
durance Fski race from Calumet to
Houghton. AS the weather conditions
last Sunday were far from favorable,
the ski experts believe that 1t will be
comparatively easy matter to reduce
the time made and some are optimistic
enough TO believe they can negotiate
the distance in less than one hour
whereas the best time made last Sun
day was 1 hour, 81 minutes and So
seconds. 1t is expected a large crowd
will be on hand to witness the starting
of the second attempt.
Calumet Contest, February 10.
Arrangements are being made for an
other endurance race to be conducted
for the ski riders of the copper coun-
try on Sunday, February 10, for which
course of about six miles will be Sc
lected, so arranged that residents of
Calumet will be able to see the finish
of the race. While the course has not
been definitely chosen so far, the
starting point probably will be at the
Yellow Jacket school. From there the
contestants would go as far as the
Lake View cemetery. turning south as
far as Swedetown and return to a
finish mark which probably will be
near the Albion location. The course
will be arranged so that the riders will
pass along Calumet Avenue for its
entire length at the finish, thus giving
the spectators an opportunity to sec
their work. Assurances have been re-
ceived from a large number of ski rid
ers that they will enter such a con-
test and it is believed the entries viii
be even more numerous than for the
races held last Sunday. A committee
will soon circulate among the bust
ness men i'm an effort to secure suit
able trophies and announcement o
futher plans will be made later.

IN GAME LAWS
THREE BILLS PROPOSED AND
MEETING OF sPoRTsMEN TO
DISCUSS THEM WILL
BE HELD.

For the purpose of discussing three
bills, which it is proposed to Introduce
into the state legislature, the Michigan
association, composed Of sportsmen
throughout the state and all interested
will hold n meeting at the Hotel Pant
ling at Grand Rapids next Tuesday.
A general invitation has been extend
ed to all lovers Of the rod and gun to
join and lend their support by becom-
ing members and assisting i'm the work
planned for better game and fish legis-
lation.
At a meeting held I'm Owosso a few
months ago a committee of five was
appointed to ascertain sentiment about
the state as to needed legislation. to
sound the powers that be at the state
capital and to draw up desired bills.
This legislative committed has now
completed its work and will present
the result at the meeting here.
The bills are along the line advocat-
ed by the Upper Peninsula Sports
mems club. Briefly stated the purpose
of one bill is to abolish the game war
den's department and To create "a new
! game and fish commission, with which
is to be consolidated the present fish
commission, the governor to appoint
the five members and they 10 serve
without pay. The position is to be
strictly honorary and having broad
scope in its usefulness.
Not only is it for the enforcement of
/ the game and fish laws and the prop
agation and planting of fish, but it
will also be empowered to set aside
game refugees, to exterminate vermin,
to provide food for birds and game
during the winter and to establish a
game farm for its propagation and
distribution among the various game
covers of the state provided the COM
mission considers it we'll to do so. In
this way it is hoped that the commits
sion will be eliminated from politics
and a broader and better service OBJ
tanned
The second bill is for the establish
ment of a resident hunters license
costing 81 per year, and for putting q
tax VI CIV per year vi dliNh iiuiiAti >
The present law, which will not be
disturbed provides for license of $25
for nonresident deer hunters and
$40 for nonresident hunters of other
game. The resident deer hunters IL
cense is also left as it is.
The sportsmen point out that will

licenses carf be increased 100000 anC

and fish commission, thus making i

nois have resident hunters licens,
and Minnesota and Pennsylvania are
both endeavoring to pass such law:

The third is a game bill and is mod

ago. This would put a stop to sprinl
shooting and puts closed season OF

Perkins Against
Roberts County

A telegram received from the
Clerk Of Supreme court at Pierre
states that the celebrated case
OF John C. Perkins against Rob-
erts County has been reversed
by the Supreme Court. In this
case Judge Crof cot was appoint
ed referee to hear, try and de-
termine the case, and ne render
ed a decision in favor of Perkins
againt the county of something
like $13OO.OO, but delayed filing
his decision beyond the twenty
days time within which he was
required by statute to file the
same. and Judge Bottum of
Faulkton, acting in the place of
Judge McNultv, who had been
attorney for the defendant
County, held that the report of
Of the Referee should be reject
ed because it was not filed in
time. The appeal was taken by
Mr.. Perkins's attorneys, How
ard Babcock and j. j. Batterton
from such order of Judge Bot
tum. This will throw the case
back into the Circuit court where
the case will undoubtedly have
to be disposed of, unless it is
compromised or settled in some
way.

GREAT CONGREGATIONS
WEST OF THE RIVER

Prairie fires are becoming so
numerous in the western part of
the state this spring that they
are a sta ding menace to farm
ers. One, few days ago, start
ing in the southern part of STAN
ley county, burned over a large
tract Of country going as far
south as White river before it
was stopped. A number of farm
houses in the path of the head
fire were saved only by strenu-
efforts on the part of the settlers
and the danger to hay and small
shanties was great before the
fire was controlled. Other fires
are reported west of the river,
and a serious confagratiCn swept
over a portion of Jerauld county
a few dayf ago. Even with the
greatest care when every thing
is as dry as at present fire will
start and with a strong gale con-
ditions in the western part of the
state may duplicate those in the
eastern half in 1889 when many
lives were lost and much proper
ty destroyed.

Sheriff Swanson is in receipt

that he has contracted for a
large number of Chinese ring
neck pheasants which he pro-
poses to place in different parts
of the State. These birds it has
been proven by experiments
made in other of the northwest
states will thrive in a country
where there is plenty Of trees
and underbrush,
The State game warden de-
mands a guarantee they wi | be
protected before he will send
any number Of birds to this
county.
Mr.: Swanson has sent out
letters to ascertain how many
farmers and others will take
these pheasants and given them
a chance to propagate. In the
extreme northwestern section of
the United States the Chinese
pheasants have been planted"
until at the present time the
sportsman find excellent shoot
ing during the season. The
same conditions would prevail
here if the birds are given, the
proper protection from the pot
