A large audience listened to Fab
brini Saturday night. His concert was
one of the most delightful ever given
in this city. The most critical and
conservative musical public present
testified voluntarily to this by means
OF demonstration and applause that
has seldom been evinced in musical
circles here. Signor Fabbrini is
pianist Of exceptional ability, endowed
with great strength, large technique
and fine sense Of value.
Fabbrini was brought to Virginia
by a number of the teachers of the
public schools, who are to be COM
plimented in providing this unusual
entertainment for the music lovers of
the city. He was assisted by Miss
Mable Fulton, soloist, and Miss
F1aaten, accompanist, both of Du-
luth, who added much to the pleasure
Of the evening.

COMMISSION PLANS TO

From Mondays Daily.

from Mondays Daily.
If the Mesaba range country has
protection against the illegal hunter
and poacher for the next few months
it must be arranged by the range gun
clubs through warlens working on
fee basis according to F. B. Myers of
Biwabik, range member of the state
game and fish commission, who is
just back from a visit to St. Paul and
his first meeting with the state game
and fish board.
"The state game and fish commits
sion,'' said Mr.. Myer this morning,
"fully realizes the need Of better game
and fish protection in northern Min
nesota. It. is without funds at the
present time, having but $4,000 to de-
tray its running expenses until Aug
ust. The state auditor has held that
$4,000 collected in hunting licenses
during the past year goes to the state
and is not placed at the disposal of
the game and fish commission for the
prosecution of it's activities. There is
a verbal opinion from the attorney
general to the effect that this money
should be placed at the disposal of
the state game and fish commission,
but the law is open to various con-
structions and the auditor is merely
protecting his own rights.
Commission to Range.
"The entire commission will come
to the range the latter part of the
month, when they meet with the
Tower Commercial club at Tower tc
talk over the matter of taking pike
spawn from Vermilion lake. I hope
to be able to take them over the
range and give them an opportunity
TO learn something of conditions here
Mr.. %Meyer stated that from what he
had learned Of George E. Woods rec.
ord there was absolutely no chance
for Wood to again be made an en-
ploye Of the state game and fish
commission. "Wood's funeral is not
mine," said Mr.. Meyer. 81 am anx.
ious as a member of the commission
to secure better understanding be-
tween the people of the state and the
state game and fish commission, tt
the end that we shall have in this
section of the state the protection We
should have for the conservation of the
wild life Of this section"
Fee Warden Not Popular.
The fee warden system proposed is
not popular with the sportsmen of the
range. They feel that at least two
wardens should be maintained on the
range. G. B. Heath in the Tower
News this week effectively satirizes
the fee system. Mr.. Heath who is ar
ardent nature lover and sportsman de-
clares in favor of the paid warder
system and declares that with fee
wardens at large it would not be safe
! for a man to drown a worm in his
own rain barrel. Mr.. Myers explain
alton that the commission is without
funds, however, is generally &C.
cepted at face value. In the meantime
the prospects are that this section Of
the state in common with other sec.
tions will be without the protection
| of salaried game wardens until the
state commission has available more
funds than at present.

The constructing or recon-
structing of the roads is under
the supervision of the Commits
sioner of public roads.
In other words, the State pur-
poses to help the counties which
help themselves, and, it goes a
little further and makes the
counties which will not help
themselves help those which are
imbued with the spirit of road
building.
The Fiscal Court is face to
face with the proposition. It
must act orssrefuse to act. In
telligent action means better
roads for the county. Refusal
to act means better roads for
some other county at our expense.

ion last week on the shipping
Of liquor into dry territory. He
held that.the act of 1914 repeats
the act of i19O6. =% Therefore, the
Kentucky dealers are given the
same right as..those living out of
the State. In other words a Ken
lucky dealer can ship whisky in
to dry territory, provided the
goods are plainly marked "whis-
ky" or anysother beverag to the
person who ordered it, with a
statement on the package for
what purpose it is to be used.
