COMMITTEE TO
ARRANGE LAWS
Ex-Governor Herreid, of Aberdeen, a
Member of State Game Law
Committee.

Pierre, S. d., Oct. o. Game
Warden Bancroft has appointed
the following committee, acting
upon the suggestions of tie meet
ing Of sportsmen held at Huron
during the fair. to draft a revision
Of the present game laws The
committee consists of J Il. Mick
of Sturgis; T. H. Null, of Huron;
Ex- Governor G. n. Herried, of
Aberdeen; Enock Norbeck, of
Platte; Adjutant General {. H..
Englesby, of Watertown; Chas.
Woodland, of Sans Are; and State
Senator \. l.. Wyman, of Gank-
ton. The committee will meet at
the convenience of its members at
either Pierre or HUlon.
What the exact recommendations
that will be made is uncertain,
but there is one thing on which
they are unanimous, that is that
the control of the game wardens
should be taken out of the hands
of tie county commissioners
Under the present system the state
warden is held responsible for the
enforcement of laws, but has not
the power Of disciplining his sab
OrdiIateS
Another suggestion that will be
made is concerning the disposal OF
the game fund, which has accumu'
lated. 1t amounts to over $50, ,OOO
at present and cannot be touched
because of the lack of any specific
appropriation The committee
may urge that this fund be set
aside, by general appropriation,
for expenditure in furtherlng the
game interests of the state, by a
commission to consist of several
state officers, for instance the gov
ernor, game warden and attorney
general.
! One feature to be discussed viii
be ways and means of constructing
/ two state game reserves, one IL
/ Marshall county on the old Ft,
Sisseton military reservation anG
adjacant school lands for small
game and birds; the other Oh the
several townships in the Black
, Hills owned by the state in one
body. Here the only expense
would be for fencing, An efforI
would be made to stock it Will
several head of buffalo from tht
Scotty Phillip herd and all th'
rest Of the large game that Il
native to the state.

CONSTITUTION
IS IN THE WAY
Plan TO Enable Travelling Men TO
Vote Away From Home
Not Feasible.

Pierre, Oct. S.-For the past
year there has been considerable
SAID IN favor of Il law in the state
to allow travelling men to vote
where they may be on election day,
as many Of them are out on the
road at that time, and are by this
lett without a vote. Such an en-
actment would no doubt be very
convenient for the commercial
travellers. but unfortunately for
them there are several stumbling
blocks In the way. One is Section
! OF Article VII of the constitution
which fixes the voting qualification
OF any voter at a residence of one
year in the United States. six
months in the state, thirty days iL
the county and ten days in the
precinct where he may vote. and
this can only be set aside by the
voters. After that Section Is of
Article VI prohibits the legislat-
ure from granting any privilege or
immunity which shall not equally
belong to all citizens, and to ask
the voters to set this aside would
probably stalt something, even
though it should he OILY to allow
travelling men to vote. OF course,
the privilege could be granted to
everybody, lodging that issue, but
this would make the stats one huge
voting precinct, with any voter a
legal voter wherever he may be on
election day. and the objection to
such proposition would be obvious.
..fte.' that would be the expense of
printing special ballots without the
local tickets upon them to allow
the non residents to vote, which
would be another little block, or at
least protest. In fact the theory
is fine, put the practice would be
hard to carry out.

COUNTY JUDGE WAS
NOT NATURALIZED

Pierre, Oct. /. 1t is reported
from up in Harding county that a
lot Of homesteaders in that section
are wondering Just where they are
at, and why; all because of the ac-
tions of County Judge George
Herbert jackson of that county,
who has held Office for four years,
and is now a candidate for state 5
attorney. 1t appears that while
Jackson has held the position, that
he has for all that time been a
citizen Of Canada. and this has
been brought ont by his applica-
tion for citizenship papers at this
time. In the four years that Jack
son has been county Judge, he has
taken hundreds Of final proofs as
a court of record, and those who
have made such proofs are fearful
tnat they may be void. Jackson,
up to the time he applied for
citizenship papers, had no opposi-
tiOn for state attorney, but it is
reported that an independent can
didate will be put in the field by
petition.

TREE GROWING IN
WESTERN DAKOTA
Every Farm Should, and Can Have
Fine Grove OF Trees ina
Short Time.

In many sections Of western
North and South Dakota very few
trees have been planted and no
section OF country has greater need
of systematic tree planting" says
w. r Porter, superintendent Of
North Dakota demonstration
farms. "One of the reasons for
this is that many newcomers ex-
pect to make a fortune ia couple
OF years growing wheat or flax and
then return from whence they came
and live happily ever afterwards.
Others do not take the time and
money necessary to produce trees
None Of these things should pre-
vent any farmer from planting ard
setting out good grove.
David Steiner, of the Beach
demonstration farm, on the ex-
treme edge Of North Dakota, has "A
grove of three or four acres sur
rounding his buildings. These
trees have all been planted in
five years aad many of them are
now over twenty feet high. Plum
trees are loaded with luscious
fruit. Crab apple trees are SO
heavily loaded they have to be
propped up. a friend from Wis
consin visited Mr.. Steiner recently
and he said he would give 50, 900
more for Mr.. Steiner land than
he would for any other farm in
the vicinity Of Beach, just because
Of the grove and bearing fruit
trees. George Cline, OF Mott, has
also been in western North OAK
ota eight years ami he has eight
acres Of very healthy looking trees,
many Of them fifteen to twenty
feet in height These trees have
gone through the very dry seasons
Of 1910 and 1911 and the very cold
winter of 19l1-12 successfully,
thereby demonstrating the fact
that western North Dakota is
adapted to tree culture, if the right
varieties are planted and they are
properly taken cale of afterwards.
The essentials of successful
tree culture in western North OAK
ota is first; thorough prepara-
tiOn Of the soil by deep plowing
and summer tillage or corn or 20
tatoe culture the year before the
trees are set out. Second: early
spring planting of the proper
hardy varieties, such as box elder,
cot onwood, green ash, elm and
the white willow. Third: thorough
cultivation after the trees are set
out Keep the tree plantation as
clean as garden until the trees
are large enough to shade the
ground. After that few cultiva-
tions should be given each year
and the trees will soon become
priceless asset of the fam home"

The action of the council Tues

boulevard incident for the time, but
there are questions, pertinent, vital
questions affecting the integrity to
at least a portion of the holdings ol
some, il not all the contestants. II
the original plat as We understand It
holds, the boulevard hasa width of
but so feet, while il the Hartman
plat which was plated over the
previous plat holds, the boulevard
is 100 feet wide. Again, the street
has been used as a roo.foot street
by the public, il is claimed, without
objection, for a period OF ten years
or more, which gives the public
an adverse uscrs" title to that
width. Aside from the fact that II
will make an unsightly jog IN II
to have a highway 100 feet wide

paying their pro rata share, thus
having the matter settled Tor all

be looming up ahead. II does not
appear that the question OF whether
SO feet is wide enough or not at
