Bio Game Season Ends.

Duluth.-The big game season came
to an end in Minnesota after a periol
of 20 days in which the kill" mounted
into the thousands. Probably 500 deer
and moose came to Duluth alone. Co
incident with the conclusion of the
open period for deer and moose, mem
bers of the Northwestern Gun club will
consider number of recommends
tons by game wardens to shorten the
season on big game and game birds
to 10 days. Eleven dead hunters and
IL wounded is the toll of the hunting
season in Minnesota. The number OF
deer and moose killed is the largest in
the history of the state. Hundreds OF
nimrods from eastern and middle west
cities obtained licenses in Minnesota
this year. Game was abundant in far
away localities, but scarce where ii
abounded in former years.

HUNDREDS OF SALOONS CLOSE
Indian Treaty of 1855 Goes Into Force
Again December Most Obey
ing Order.

Bemidji, Mimi, Nov. 30.-Hundreds
of saloonkeepers in this section, af-
fected by the Indian treaty OF 1855,
are closing their doors.
Disregarding rumor that certain
liquor dealers in the Indian" country
will attempt to ignore the govern
ment's order to close, because the
dealers in all towns at the doors of
the reservation have not received
similar orders, all Bemidij liquor sell
ers will close their places in conform
ity with the federal decree, not later
than Monday.
Already eight saloons have closed
and a majority will voluntarily quit
business tonight, although the govern,
ment has indicated that no arrests will
be made for possible violations until
after Monday.
The saloonkeepers will not attempt
to rent their places OF business for a
few weeks, believing congress may be
induced to abrOgate the 1855 treaty,
under the provisions of which their
places are forced out of business
J. T. Brandt, special agent of the
Indian bureau, is here and will be
joined later by Chief Special Officer
Larson to see that the lid goes on
and stays on. Saloonkeepers at Kelli-
her, which is much nearer the Indian
reservation that Bemidji, are rejoicing
because they have received no orders

Plan Branch Railway

WiLona-The agitation for the con.

the Waumande valley tapping the Bur.
lington road, which has been discussed
for more than 10 years, is again to the
front. Articles of organization of the
Montana Waumandee Railway com
pany have been filed with the register
of deeds at Alma. The articles are sign
ed by George Kindschy, Louis Zeller,
George H. Hedwig and G. w. Sanity,
farmers of the towns of Montana and
Waumandee, and by F. D. Branden-
burg of Minneapolis, who has been &C
tive in promoting the project The in
corporators and officers are mostly of
ficers and directors of the Garden Val
ley Creamery company, and they pur-
pose to build the road in the cheapest
way possible by following creek beds
and highways as much as possible to
avoid heavy charges for right-of-way.
The road projected is about 10 miles
long through the towns of Montana,
Waumandee and Milton.

HAMMOND PLEDGES SUPPORT
NEW GOVERNOR TO URGE RE-
FORM MEASURE.
Confers With Members of the Eff
cheney and Economy Com
mission.

St. Paul.-Members of the efficiency
and economy commission have told
Winfield Scott Hammond, governor
elect, that they would stand back of
the bill as they had prepared it and
urge the legislature to pass it without
change 1t was argued that the bill
must either be passed or go down to
defeat in its present form, and if it
did go down to defeat it would be easy
to place the responsibility.
On Efficiency Basis.
The governor elect pledged his sup
port to the reorganization of state de-
partments and said that he would
urge in his message such a reform.
If the incoming legislature does
nothing more than pass the necessary
appropriation bill and reorganiZes the
state departments on basis of eff
cheney and economy it will go down
in history as one of the most useful
legislatures that has served the state
of Minnesota said Mr.. Hammond.
The commission, represented by
half it's membership, presented the
bill and explained it to the goyerncr
elect at q. conference held at the West
Hotel c. p Craig, chairman of the
commission, led the discussion for it.
1t was decided that the commits
sion's bill will be introduced in the
House by L. c. Spooner and Thomas
Kneeland. The names of eight or
will no
added as sponsors. In the Senate,
Senators F. E. Putnam and ]. ID. Sui
livan, with a number of others, will
introduce the bill.
The legislature will be asked to ap-
point a joint committee of House and
Senate to consider the bill, to hold
public hearings and to ask for sugges-
tions from the general public.
Mr. Hammond indicated to the men,
bers of the commission that he believ-
ed the reorganization of state depart
ments the most important issue to
come before the Legislature. He asked
for detailed information on many Of
the changes suggested
The commissions bill does away
with the multiplicity of boards, places
the administration in the hands of a
few heads of departments to be ap-
pointed by the Governor and places
all minor state offices on a Civil Ser
vice basis.
Members pointed out that the cost
of operating the State Government
under the proposed plan may not rep
resent smaller money expenditure
than at the present time, but that it
would be much more efficient and as
such would be money saving.
