BIG GAME SEASON TO OPEN
Hunters Will Take to the Woods in
Search Of Deer and Moose Tuesday
Morning Reported as Plentiful
OVER 200 LICENSES ISSUED

Just three days more and hundreds
of hunters will take to the woods of
northern Minnesota in search of deer
and moose. Deer are reported as
more plentiful than in several years
and many have been seen near and
within the city limits. Moose are
to be found in the northern part of
the county.
James 4. GsoExes county auditor,
and assistants have been busily en-
gagged today making out big game
hunting licenses and at noon more
than 200 had been issued. William
Klein, of the county auditors Office,
secured the first license issued.
Every hunter must possess a IL
,cense, even to hunt in the county
within which he is a resident, said
Sherm Bailey, chief game warden,
this morning. Each hunter is en-
titled to- kill one deer and one male
antlered moose. Shipping coupons
are attached to each license, and
these are to be placed on an animal
after it is killed. A per-
son is entitled to but one license.
Deer and moose can be kept in ones
possession for five days after the
close of the season, November 80,
land longer upon the securing of a
permit, obtainable from any game
warden for one dollar. Then money
is then turned over to the state game
(and fish commission.
The law provides that non-resi-
dents of the state may secure big
game licenses at cost of $25 and
that deer can be shipped from the
state. Moose can be shot, but Meth
Ter sold nor shipped from the state.

This was remark made last night
by Patrick II. McGarry, of Walker,
who has Just been named senator
from the Cass-Itasca district. by q
splendid majority. being well over
the three hundred mark. McGarry,
who is we'll known in Bamidji, ear
ried his own county by approximate
.Iy four hundred votes, but lost
Itasca, the home county of Stock,
his opponent, by only little more
than one hundred.
For many years Mr.. Nord and Mr..
McGarry have been close personal
friends and the electionspf the border
city man was gratifying to the Walk
erite. Mr.. McGarry referred to Nord
as man who gets results and pre-
.dicted that his Legislative career will
be such that in four years his re-
election will be unanimous.
Such recommendation, coming as
it does from man Of McGarry's
standing as member of the lower
house, where for several years he has
been one of #thevmoatsprpminent and
successful members, iss highly COM
'plimentary to the first senator Of the
sixty second district.

Indications are that John G. Nor

didacy for the third district commits
Esionership by James F.. Hayes, his So
lcialist opponent. The count at the

for the former. This total includes
the votes of Minnie, STEVENSON,
Hamre and Benville.
There are still three precincts to
hear from, being Spruce Grove, Lee
and Northwood. All three are con-
'sidered socialist strongholds, and it
lis figured that they will at least give
Hayes an even vote, if not a ma
jority.
Akerberg Probable Winner.
H. N. Mckee still leads Garfield
Akerberg in the race for coroner, his
vote being 1868 to 1,246, a lead of

Watch Missine Ten Years Is Found

Ten years ago Thomas Thompkins
of Norfolk lost small gold watch
and it was believed to have been
stolen. Search was made and re-
ward was offered for its return but
no trace of it was ever found.
Recently while digging up some
old stumps of trees near the house
he saw a shining object in the dirt
and picked it up 1t was the watch.
Mr.. Tompkins' mother, who died
five years ago, said that she dream
ed about year after the disappear
ance of the timepiece that it was in
that stump but the opening in it
was too small to admit his hand
and he did not have enough faith in
the dream to grub it up.
1t is thought now that child of
Tompkins dropped the watch into
the stump.

farmer living hear this place, drives
a unique team. The team is pair
of oxen that are harness broke, and
work just as we'll under harness as
any pair of mules or horses in the
state. The animals are not large,
and are we'll matched and we'll
gated. Usually oxen are slow in
movement, but Craig's team can 60
at a pretty swift trot. He drives
them to light farm wagon. He
uses regular farm wagon harness on
them, bits, brides and all, and
drives them with reins instead Of
a whip. Like mules or horses he
also keeps them shod. The team
pull well, and can move any load
that any ordinary mule or horse
team in this section can move.

Weekly Letter of John I'll. Page
Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture
Gives You Letter This Week Full
of Help to the Farmer

Last week | called attention to
Crimson clover and other crops that
need attention now. AT this time
of the year. both man and horse
power have less to do than any
other time during the season. This
year is an unusual one and we
should make special efforts to have
something to feed to our stock this
winter
We are not at all sure that cotton
will bring a very flatterine price
this fall as the price per bale dropp-
ed $40 last week. We should not,
by any means, depend upon cotton
money to by corn this winter The
corn crop is seriously hurt in every
section of the country and Arkan-
sas has Jared no better than the
rest of the corn belt, In my opin-
ion, feed will be a little hard to get
at the customary prices this year
The early hay crop has also been
pretty badly burned and at the
present time, Arkansas Is not In an
independent position so far as the
amount of feed on hand and In
sight Is concerned, Sometimes,
Southern farmers are very Justly
criticized for not raising their own
feedstuil when conditions are so
ideal, We have time yet for some
crops and Arkansas must not be
found In the Want Column next
winter. We will doubtless find
many of our own neighbors who
will want TO buy feed In the late
winter, and II you raise too much,
Il is almost certain you can find a
ready market for any character Of
feed you grow.

A reliable report is being circulat-
ed that the Standard Oil Company

now operating in the vicinity of
Sulphur Rock, have discovered oil
and the work will soon be an import
ant industry in that section. The
fact that the Standard Oil Company
is striving to secure leases on many
more acres of land in that vicinity
is sufficient proof that there is good
indications of oil there. A Com
pany has been formed we under

Indefinite Question.

A contributor to Everybody's Maya
zine tells of two men who were work
ing on the highway in small town in
Maine. AS they worked, they dis
cussed various people and affairs OF
national Importance. Finally one OF
them referred to the secretary OF war,
and the other asked:
zoe, who is the present secretary
of war;"
why, don't remember his name, ;"
replied Joe, but here comes old Uncle
David Blake. Wen ask him.
AS the old man drove up, the labor
ers called out: Uncle David, can you
tell us who the secretary Of war is?'
Uncle David thought deeply for some
moments. well, l ought ter know,
but, bless me, can't seem ter remem-

ly. Soon the two men saw Uncle
David coming back, and when he came
within hailing distance, he called out:

mean. anyway"
