The Minnesota Game and Fish
Protective league, with heaquarters
in Minneapolis, is urging northwest
sportsmen to pass the prairie chicken
by and not kill one, in the interest
of conservation. This would be fine
if it were generally followed. It is
entirely possible, however, that if
the sportsmen of the country were
to pass by the prairie chickens, their
city brethren would venture forth
and bag the limit. But perhaps that
is what the league desires. Why
not 60 at the matter in sensible
way and prohibit the killing of
prairie chickens by statute, if that
is necessary to perpetuate them?

julius H. Block, former state
treasurer, died at Duluth on the
Goth inst. It was while sheriff of
Nicollet county that Mr.. Block first
aspired to the state treasurership in
1894. But the late August T. Koer-
ner of Litch6eld was the successful
candidate in the republican state
convention that year. Mr.. Koerner
served three terms, and MI Block
succeeded him in 1900, and also
served three terms. Mr.. Block was
a candidate for the republicancnom-
ination for governor at the Duluth
convention in 1906 but was unsuc-
cessful. Last year his name was on
the republican primary ballot for
state auditor, and although he was
an eleventh hour candidate he polled
surprisingly large vote, but not
enough to nominate him. Mr.. Block
was of German parentage and was
born in Ohio in 1860. He Was al
ways supposed to be a vigorous
man, but it appears he had been
ailing for over year prior to, his
death with Bright's disease. The
announcement of his demise was a
surprise to his many friends through
out the state.
