Hunting Not Allowed

g. w. Hoffman, superintendent
and agent of Fort Berthold, has
taken up the matter with the au-
thorities in Washington, d. @.
toward preserving game. Since
there are only few remaining
deer on the reservation, which will
soon disappear if they are hunted.
a regulation has been su ubmitted to
the Indian Office, prohibiting all
the Indians and whites from kill
ling any deer from January lst.
1911, to 1915, that is a term of 3
years.
Also the provisions against kill
ling prairie chickens will be en-
forced on the reservation. Indians
will be allowed to hunt only dur
ing the months of the year when
the state permits this to be done.
As punishment for the viola
tion of the new law or rule, any
persons (In1ian or white) killing
deer on the Fort Berthold reserva-
ton. North Dakota. from now on
for three years, shall be fined $50
for each deer and 60 days in the
gaurd house with hard labor, be-
sides being deprived of their guns
and ammunition.
SO far as hunting by white per-
sons on the reservation is concern
ed, attention is invited to Section
2l37 of the Revised Statutes which
reads as follows:
Every person other than|an Indi-
an, who within the limits of any
tribes with whom the United
States has existing treaties, hunts
or traps. or taxes and destroys, any
peltries or game except for subsis-
tence in the Indian country, shall
forfeit all the traps, gums and
ammunition in his possession,
used or procured to be used for
that purpose, and all pertries 20
taken; and shall be liable in addi-
tion, to a penalty of 100 dollars.
All the Indians have been in
structed in the above new law. and
this warning is made to their
white neighbors.

Canadian Farmers
Self Grain Here
Duty Eats a Lot Of the Profit When
S29.70 is Paid on One Load
Of Barley

A farmer who lives near Carrie
vale, Sask., Canada, has the fol-
lowing to say about the weather
and crop in Canada:
December was very mild hut
last week it has been running
from 25 to 30 degrees below, but
very, little snow Did. [ tell you
about our crop? We were going
to have a very nice crop when
about the 1st of August the black
rust struck the wheat and Of course
you know what happened. The
heaviest straw was the worst. The
straw before it was cut was as
black as the ground SO it was
badly shriveled. We started to
thrash and it commenced to rain
and we cnly thrashed about seven
days in six weeks SO the grain all
thrashed tough and the grain men
would not bny it and the people
had to ship it themselves and then
they could not get cars. The
wheat was so tough that it had to
be run through a drying machine
before it goes into store. This
cost about sc per bushel and they
can only unload so cars in "a
hours and dry grain they can un-
load 500, so you see that leaves a
great shortage Of cars, and times
a little hard. Oats. was a very
good crop: they are cheap, about
&c per bushel. Wheat from SO TO
75c, according to quality and dry
ness. The Canadians are hauling
to Sherwood. N. d., and paying
3Oc per bushel duty. One Of my
neighbors paid 500. 10 on one load,
a wagon load Of barley. There
was great crop of flax here this
season, one fellow thrashed 1900
bushels off 80 acres. he is selling
it in Sherwood. He will pay $4O0
on the 1900 bushels, duty. A
great many are selling wheat, pay,
ing Csc per bushel duty. The
Canadian cars are all full OF tough
wheat. SO you see what we lost by
not getting reciprocity The
American custom officer is taking
in about $500 per day.

Turtle Lake Wave

p. j. Anderson says cattle and
corn make a good combination for
a North Dakota farmer. He ex-
perimented last summer with a
five acre field Of corn. He cut the
corn last fall and has been feeding
sixteen head of cattle on the fodder
since lie cut it and has enough to
last the bunch couple of weeks
vet. He husked and sold $50 worth
of corn from this same fodder.
j. B. Sellon claims that the
ground is frozen so deep that it
pops and cracks open in the morn
ing so that it can fairly be felt to
vibrate at times. Sellon may have
exaggerated q little, it is possible
he did, but there is no question
that the ground which is unusually
bare Of snow has been frozen to q
greater depth than in many years,
aud that there are great cracks in
it that were not there last fall
when the ground froze up full Of
moisture. Old settlers tell us
deep freezing in winter insures q
good crop the following season.
They say the freezing ventilates
the soil and the longer the ground
underneath is froze after the soil
on top is thawed the longer the
moisture comes up from below to
the roots of the grain on the sur

The number of benefactions and
the number of givers was greater
than in 1910. and the drop in
dollars was due chiefly to smaller
gifts from few very wealthy men

Woman Holds Office

jamestown. n. D.. Jan. %
Owing to Judge Memmi's recent
appointment Of Mrs. Correll as
clerk of the county court, the
question has been raised as to the
eligibility of Il woman to that
Office States Attorney Kneeland
has given written opinion on the
subject. holding that a woman is
eligible to this Office, which
opinion is concurred in by the at
torney generals Office.
The question is an interesting
one, involving the rights cf "a
woman to hold office in this STATE,
and the opinion of the states at
torney reviews various authorities
on the subject. The court of
various states have held that a
woman, in the absence Of con-
stitutional or statutory provision
expressly authorizing it, cannot
hold a governmental public office.
States So holding, among others,
are Massach usetts and New Hamp-
shire In Michigan, where there
is no express legal provision on
the subject, woman has been
ousted from the Office of states
attorney, but her right to hold the
Office Of deputy clerk Of court has
been upheld. the former being an
elective and the latter an appoint
i've Office. In Missouri woman
was elected clerk of court and her
right to hold Office was upheld by
the supreme court of that state.
In Kansas, although women are
not voters, yet it seems that they
may hold any Office. provided they
obtain votes enough. even that of
governor Of the state.
In North Dakota a woman cam
not hold dan elective Office. except
a school office, our statutes re-
quiring that only those who have
q right to vote for certain office
are eligible to hold such Office.
The clerk Of the county. however.
is not elected but appointed BY the
Judge of that court and in the per-
formance Of his dntiss is subject
Ia q large measure, to the super
vision of the Judge, the Judge be-
ing liable Tor the proper conduct
Of the clerk under his own official
bond. Under these circumstances1
it is the opinio on Of Assistant Az
torney General Znger and of the |
states attorney that il Is the dis
oretion of the Judge TO appoint
either 4 man or Il woman to the
position il quest ton.

All Should Attend
This Big Meeting
Prizes VIII be Given In the Dairy
and Creamery Batter Contests
Enter and Win One

Two handsome silver pitchers,
nicely engraved, adorn the large
front window of the First National
Bank of Mandan. These are to be
awarded by the Northern Pacific
Railway to the winners of the
dairy and creamery butter con.
tests at the convention of the State
Dairymen's Association to be held
in Mandan on Thursday and Fri
day, February 18th and 18th.
These prizes are in addition to
cash prizes to be given by the as
sociation. The Mandan Com
mercial Club has dorated $3.50 to
be given in prizes as the officers of
the state association sees fit.
So much for the prizes. The
greatest prize that can be pulled
down, and that is for every attend
ant, is the gaining of knowledge,
which when put to practical use
by the farmer will give him lift
along the road to independence,
and to this end, the committee
having in charge the program has
provided some of the strongest
speakers in the Northwest. Form.
er Governor Hoard Of Wisconsin,
editor of Hoard's Dairyman,
recognized AS the leading authority
on dairy matters in the United
States, is sending to this meeting
Mr.. A. j. Glover, the associate
editor Of his paper. He with A.
K. Risser. of Colorado will tell the
farmers the value Of ensilage as
feed, and how to build silos and
put away the silage. Prof. Thomas
Shaw. who is worth hearing on
any subject pertaining to agri-
culture, even if one has to travel
the whole length of the state, will
talk on breeding. Prof. Shepperd
of the Agricultural school, and F.
w. Merrill of Grafton are also on
the program. while from Mime
sofa q. A. S:crvick and Joel G..
Winkjer viii! come to add to the
interest aud information to the
attendants.
Along the line of enter tainment
the program committee has been
successful in securing the service
of Bart the famous cartoonist of
the Minneapolis Journal who will
give chalk talk on the evening
of the 10th. The cartoon on the
front page of the journal is with
=.
out question the most striking of
any cartoon appearing in the daily
press, and the people of North Da-
kota will greet the man who makes
the pictures with big crowd.
The Mandan people have ar.
ranged to have an orchestra on
hand at every session to start the
proceedings. There will be plenty
of entertainment. besides the lot
of wholesome information on
dairying, and it should be the duty
of every farmer who can possibly
arrange his affairs to get away and
be on hand through the entire
convention.
