viii Have Ball Team

Those interested in BOttineau
having a baseball team met at
the fire hall Tuesday evening.
After talking the matter over
for some time getting to the
best procedure, Mont Woods
was elected cabtain. The team
will be composed entirely of
home players and the manager
will also be one of the team.
The boys are not asking for
any financial support from the
business men other than clos
ing up their place OF business
for a couple of hours during
the games which will be play
ed at home. We really relieve
that Bottineau will have bet
ter team this year composed of
all home players than we did
last year with salaried players
and that more people will turn
out to see the games when the
PLAYERS are all local. l5ottineau
will not join a league and will
play only those towns who
have all home teams. The
games will probably be with
Willow City, Carburv, Souris,
Overly, Omeme, Kramer and
Maxbass. The boys have three
nights a week set aside for
practice and it is hoped they
will turn out on these eve
nings.

the culture of cuttings and

the farm have already been
planted tO"box elder, ash and

will be planted Il little later on
to maple and elm. \ road will
be built all the way around the
farm and windbrcaks set on
the north and west sides.
Eighty acres Of the farm has
been rented for this wear and
will be seeded to wheat. This
is a very desirable location for
the school farm and after few
years when things begin to

WILL have
mixed TRAINS
Railroads Will Hereafter Run Mixed
Trains On oil Branch Lines That
DO not Paw

Bismarck, April 26.-In a
divided opinion the supreme
court has reversed its decision
of three years ago and hereafter
railroads will have the right of
appeal to the courts from deci-
sions of the railroad ommis-
sion. The case arose when
the mission ordered the
500 line to continue their pas
senger trains on the Ambrose
branch. The railroad appealed
to the courts and the supreme
court sustained the commits
sion. Judges Goss and Burke
refused to concur. In the
opinion handed down Friday
Judge Fisk held with Judges
Burke and Goss and the case
was reversed and remanded.
JudgeChristianson being dis
qualified did not participate
and District Judge A. q. Burr
of the ninth district sat in the
case. Burr and Justice Bruce
refused to concur in the majori-
ty opinion and in dissenting g
opinion sustained the railroad
com mmission.
The majority decision laws
down the rule that where the
expenses grossly exceed the
revenues from a branch line
the common carrier is prima
facie entitled to be permitted
to operate a daily mixed pas
senger service. The opinion
also holds that the acts and
decisions of the railroad COM
mission are properly reviewa-
bic by the courts and that the
railroads have the right to ap-
peal.
An important point of law
settled by this decision is that
because the subject matter of a
statute is Legislative or admin
strative does not render a stat
ute unconstitutional authoriz-
ing a review of the action of
the board in the courts on an
appeal to them.
The decision of the court
means that hereafter when the
railroad com mission is consid-
ering a petition for relief from
daily passenger service the
revenues from service and cost
of branch line service only
must be considered. Railroads
cannot be compelled to operate
a separate daily passenger SER
vice on a branch line at a great
loss and be compelled to make
up such deficit or loss from it's
main line revenues.
The court hold that the in
tent of the law is that the re-
venues from branch lines must
justify a daily passenger SER
vice in themselves independ-
ent of whether the railroad as
a whole within the state is re.
turning a fair divident on it's
investment.
w. H. Stutsman and Attor-
ney General Linde argued the
case for the state and Palda,
Aaker and Greene of Minot for
the railroad company. 1t is a
distinct victory for the railroad
and will have the effect of en-
abling the railroads to put in
mixed trains on all branch lines
where the revenues from the
branch do not come up to the
expenses. There are a large
number of branch lines which
will be affected by this deci-
sion,

SCHOOL OF FORESTRY

Planting on the nursery
grounds is now we'll under
way. 1t is planned to put
windbreak consisting of two
rows of deciduous trees and
two rows of evergreens on the
east and south sides, and on
the west and north there will
be two rows of willows, eight
rows of deciduous trees and
two rows OF evergreens. Inside
the windbreak there will be
roadway running around the
quarter. Hedges of Caragana
will border the road. About
sixty thousand trees and cut
tings will be planted this
spring. or as many of these as
can be done during the plant
ing season.
About twelve acres of tree
seed consisting of ash and box
elder have now been planted.
On the east side of the road
way along the west line, the
permanent paintings, for the
production of trees that propa-
gate readily from cuttings,
will be planted There will be
about two acres each of white,
laurel leaf, golden, diamond,
\iobe, Thurlow and Wisconsin
willows, Norway, Russian,
Carolina poplar and cotton
woods. Two miles of hedges
have been planted. All the
available boxelder and ash seed
in the northern tier OF states
has been purchased.
The shipments of cuttings
and seedlings to the land own
ers of the state were completed
the first of the week. Appli-
cations for more than sixty
thousand trees to be delivered
in the spring of 1916 have al
ready been received. Those
wishing trees for 1916 should
make application promptly.
The popularity of the free
tree movement is we'll shown
by the fact that applications
have been received from many
different states. Some apple
atiOns coming from as far as
New York.

POULTRY
SUGGESTIONS.

At this time of year all sitting
coops and brood coops should be
cleaned and stored away until next
season. Any good coal-tar disinfec-
tant will be suitable. The laying
houses can be remodeled without dis
turbing the birds, and they will then
be ready when the flock is to be put
into winter quarters. The house ano
fixtures should be cleaned thoroughly
and then given a good coat of white
wash.
If the yards are bare and crusted
the filth should be removed, the yards
plowed and some rapidly growing
crop, such as oats, started. After the
crop is well along the birds should
be allowed to eat the young shoots.
Where the poultryman does not care
to plant a crop at this time he should
keep the soil well stirred until about
the middle of September and then
sow some winter crop such as rye or
wheat. This will give green food for
the fowls in the spring.
All of these things are important
and can be done at this season of the
year without disturbing the birds very
much. Any changes necessary and
all sanitary measures should be ad-
opted at this time.

STATES SENTIMENT HAS
SAVED FISH AND GAME.

That New Jersey, one of the oldest
and most thickly settled of the states,
and situated between two of the ma
tons densest centers of population,
has been able to maintain her fame
for good hunting and fishing has long
been a source of comment among
outside sportsmen. Younger states
have lost their natural and
are striving hard to rebuild them,
while in New Jersey, fishing and
hunting, instead of deteriorating, are
of late years actually showing a
protection and restocking.
State officials do not hesitate to de-
clare that the only secret of this won
strong and favorable sentiment of an
outdoor loving public backing the
firm enforcement of the fish and
game protection laws. But for these
laws and the work of the states war
dens, every stream and lake in the
state long ago would have been fished
out and game fish would have become
extinct in this commonwealth; game
birds and animals would have been
largely exterminated and the farm
ers' great winged army of defense
the millions of insect-eating birds
would have been practically wiped
out by the thoughtless ~pot-hunter and
alien.
The same condition governs sea
shore fishing. The deep sea angler
owes as much to the protection of
the fish and game law as does his
brother who whips the inland streams
for trout and bass and pike. A few
years ago it was predicted that sea-
shore angling was doomed because
of the encroachments of the big
pound nets and sea-sweeping s%eines,
but the state saved. the day and the
fish by timely legislation.
The state fish and game commits
sion, it's officers declare, seeks not
only to guarantee a continuance of
good seashore fishing for the vaca-
zionist, but to perpetuate for all the
public a steady seafood supply,
which greedy interests soon would
destroy by unrestricted netting oper-
atoms.
