Lakota. n D., May u North Da-
kota's game laws, which he declared
are disgrace to the state, resulted
from a political '.frameup,'' according
to Alfred Eastgae, in charge of the
government bird preserve in this
county. That the law was made with
out any consideration o fthe% object
which he contends should be sought
in game laws, is his belief, and in a
series of addresses which he is making
throughout the state, Mr.. Eastgate is
losing no opportunity to set forth his
views in the hopse that sentiment ia
vorable to better legislation will re
suit in the enactment Of laws by the
next legislative assembly. sS
Mr.. Eastgate handles the situation
without gloves as it were. The
present game warden system, he says,
is so interviewer with partisan poll
tics, that much of efficiency Of the
men employed as wardens was practi-
cally destroyed sYfs'
Under the present system Of ward
ems and deputies, men are appointed
to serve in their neighbour Their
names are made public and the warden
is closely watched by the poachers
AS soon as the deputy leaves home the
news is rapidly spread, by the rural
telephone and everybody seems tc
think he is doing his duty by inform
ing his neighbor. These same people
fail to realize the fact that hunters
