them, to care for their banks and per-
haps TO have the state establish parks
lake question considered not from the
selfish standpoint of the hunter or the
land grabber.
On the bird question there was sug-
gestion of legislation to have the state
get into complete harmony with the
federal government as to the closed
seasons for migratory birds, to limit
the game bag to ten birds a day, to
N. fs,r n in birds
like the quail for five years, to pro-
hibit automatic guns. no licenses for
aliens There will also be "a proposal
to establish a state fish and game COM
mission of five members and to have
the hunters license fund turned into
the state treasury and game wardens
be paid salaries out of the general
funds; also that civil service rules be
applied to the game Wardens.
The program of the association also
included discussion of civic improve
ment in the state and especially the
park work of the cities. proposed

himself largely to farming in Manitoba

season as fairly favorable. but with
spots in the Canadian northwest very
bad and others very good. The high
price of agricultural products due to
the war in Europe has had marked
effect on the farming business and next
year there will be cultivated the largest
crop of grain ever known in the north
west. The effect of the war has been
depressing on the business done in the

liberately slaughter an honest efficient
public servant simply at the behest
of a keen, shrewd, and it seems to me
an unscrupulous democratic politician
from another state, who has every
reason for wanting to disrupt your

cedent that will deter every decent,
honest, honorable man from becoming
a candidate in your District in the fu-

The charges were adroitly made so
late that In many sections of the Dis
trict it will be impossible to refute
them, and there, the venomous poison
may work. but If the real facts were
known to all the Republicans in the

Note their attempt to humilate the
President before the U. s. Senate by
discrediting his appointment of Doyle.
1t is matter worthy Of note that a
leading argument of one Of the repub-
lican candidates for governor is that
the splendid methods pursued by Mr.
Hellstrom as warden will be restored
and the present lax methods be done
away with. Could a better testimonial
be given Mr.. Hellstrom's ability as a
public official.
The best evidence of the personal
strength of Mr.. Helstrom is the fact
that he ran more than 5000 votes
ahead of the balance Of the state tick
ct at the last election.
