jamestown, N. d., June 1.-THE
shooters OF this section of the state
are greatly interested in a PROPOSE
ton to increase nesting places fol
game. They have originated a move
ment to increase the game license
from 81 to $1.o0 and to have one-thirC
of the license money left in the
county in which it is paid for the pur
pose of purchasing sma.l game re
serves - -..
Ask Change in Game Law.
The idea is to have the law changed
at the next session of the Legislature
providing for this increase in licens
es, then have a provision by which
the game board can make a purchase
of ten or fifteen acres in each town
ship as the fund is created. A regu
lar way of selecting these townships
will be provided under the new Law
so no favoritism can be shown. Aftel
a reverse is established in each town
ship the process will be repeated III
til each township has two or three oil
these nesting places.
Many Places Donated.
In some townships it will be I'm
necessary to purchase the sites. Far
mers have expressed a willingness to
set aside tree claims and rough spots
as game reserves without cost pro.
vided the state game board marks the
sites and looks after the protection OF
the game.
Make Heavy Penalty.
It is proposed to make a heavy pen
atty for shooting OF these reserves.
Each corner will be marked so no one
can make a mistake and any one
caught on the reserves with a gun
will be given a Jail sentence instead
of a fine.
Within a year or two the birds
would quickly learn to breed on the
reserve and fly there for safety the
minute they were disturbed in sur
rounding fields. Prairie chickens and
grouse could be propagated rapidly
in this name and the shooting for
all surrounding country would be
greatly improved. The plan is meet
ing with a great deal of enthusiasm.
Met With Approval.
AT the recent meeting of the North
Dakota Game board here the propo-
sition was presented to the members
and was enthusiastically endorsed by
them. "A local organization will be
formed and Secretary Haas of the
commercial club is now making the
preliminary arrangements. The mat
ter will be presented thorugh a local
committee and the game board at the
meeting of the state sportsmen at
Grand Forks the latter part of this
month. ''..
THE SCHOOL OF MINES.
Dean E. J.. Babcock of the State
School of Mines at the University of
North Dakota, received word from
Paris that his work on gas has been
adopted by the International Commit
tee of Standards. This is a distinct
recognition of the high degree of ex-
cellence Of research work being car
ried on in this line at the School of
Mines, and n which stamps it as a
work of the highest authority the
world over. Dean Babcock has re-
Gently been invited to become an hon.
orary member of n of the leading
technical societies of Great Britain.
Known Far and Wide.
The work of the School of Mines in
clay, coal and gas has attracted the
attention of other states to such an
extent that letters and inquiries are
now being received almost daily from
all parts of the country in regard to
the investigations conducted in these
lines by Dean BabcOck and his staff.
A request has recently come to
Dean Babcock from another Univer.
sity asking him to plan and select for
them a complete clay-tcsting equip
ment and suggest an assistant trained
In the North Dakota School of Mines.
1t is to be noted in this connection
that n of last years graduates in
this department obtained the highest
standing in the United States in an
examination in technical clay work,
and as a consequence was offered an
excellent government position.
Completed Bulletin.
Dea Babcock has just completed
an extended bulletin to be published
'ty the Bureau of Mines at Washing
lon. In passing through the technical
division of the Bureau, it has called
forth very commendatory mention of
the work. 1t is expected that this
bulletin will be issued in a short time.
Texas commends N. D. Man.
Special recognition of the work &C
complished by the School of Mines
has recently been given by the Uni
versity of Texas in their bulletin en-
titled, Fuels Used in Texas which
includes various types of coal, oil,
gas, etc. Dean Babcock was asked to
cooperate in this work, especially
relative to the utilization of Ignite.
The Director of the Bureau of Tech
nology expresses high appreciation OF
the value of this work and attributes
the great interest taken in it to the
