BIRD DOG NOTICE RECALLS
LEGISLATIVE INCIDENT

Pierre. s. D., May 20.-The game
warden is sending out notices that the
months of April, May and June are the
closed season for bird dogs. During
those months such dogs positively can
not be left at large, to destroy birds
and nests. This order, authorized in
chapter 240, laws Of 1909. calls to mind
an incident Of its consideration which
caused the legislative body great
amusement. In 1907, when the meas
ure was up but did not pass, Repre-
sentative Wilson opposed the BILL and
made a very touching address about
the cruelty of tying up the fine bird
dogs through the hot months, and
causing them torture. Suddenly from
the lobby of the capitol building came
the yips and bowls Of q dog which had
got into the building Just at the most
sympathetic touches Of the speech. The
legislator was forced to discontinue his
arguments.

HELD LAND FOR 20 YEARS
a WITHOUT FORMAL FILING.

Rapid City. s. D.. May 22.-John
O'Neill, Of Memo, came to Rapid City
and filed on a piece of land on which
he had been living for the last 20 years.
At the same time he filed on the land
he made application for his final proof.
This, however cannot be given to him
until he has made a survey OF the land.
That is the only thing that is holding
up his final proof as he has cultivated
20 acres of the land for the past 10
years and during the time he has lived
on the place has always had three
acres under cultivation.
This is the only case on record where
land was filed on and final proof asked
for on the same land on the same day.
People living in the vicinity had taken
it for granted that the land had been
filed on and proven up by Mr.. O'Neill,
and so had never tried to file on IL.

After having become a long recog-
nized and accepted institution, the red
dag OF the guard at the railroad cross
xng has been found inadequate for the
modern demands, and a movement TO
oring about its overthrow Is well un-
der way In the light Of recent de-
mands and experiences, many criti-
cisms Of the railroad Waterman and his
red flag have developed. Some times
he shook II in the air to warn pedes-
trians and drivers of the approach OF
q train, and later no waved the same
nag with much the same motion to
beckon them to come on. Then again
he was lost to view at the crossing at
train time. The crossing men en-
ployed on the Central railroad OF New
Jersey and the Long Island railroad are
now supplied with metal hand signals
with the word stop" painted on their
surfaces In large letters. At night a
double-faced lantern is used with the
same legend in red letters across the
surface OF the glass.

Many buildings could be dis

appearance of a good sized
