The right of way had practically
been secured to Niles and through
Cedar township in the directions Of

would be to get signatures Of the real

be an easy matter to secure the right

Prairie Chickens
Are Plentiful
LOCAL NlMRODS ARE PROMISED
SOME GOOD SHOOTING THIS
FALL-SEASON OPENS
SEPT. 2,

Prairie chickens are unusually plen-
tiful in Barnes county this year and
in the state in general. Owing to the
large amount of grain left standing
in the shock over winter the old birds
wintered unusually we'll and have
raised large families. From all parts
of the county come cheering reports
regarding the size and the number of
covies. The young birds are said to
be nearly full grown. The season has
been very favorable as there has been
very little hail in this locality and in
the absence of such storms as would
hurt the crop between now and Sept.
Z, when the season will open,' there
will be some thrilling sport and some
wonderful feasts of fried prairie chick
en- to reward the sportsmen.
The season has also been very fav-
orable for young ducks, as the sloughs
were we'll filled with water last
spring and farmers report that most
every one of the sloughs has an abun-
dance of mallards and teal. These
birds will not be bothered however
till late in the season as they are
considered too tame for the real
sportsman until after the chicken sea-
son is well along.
The game wardens of the state, and
of this district particularly, are after
the "sooners" strong and any man
caught in the fields with a gun before
the season opens will have many ques-
tons to answer and will get the full
extent Of the law. Valley City has
some good sports and these will join
with the wardens in stopping all il
legal shooting.
There has been some dispute as to
when it will be lawful for training
dogs. The law reads very plainly that
dogs may be trained in the fields after
August 18th, but no gun shall be car.

Davis complied with the order, but
