it was enacted at the last session
and all who are not citizens of
the United States, or have not
legally declared their intention of
becoming citizens, are prohibited
from hunting game birds or ami

ELY WINS
Defeats HIbblng Team-.-Seore
Is to 8 -.aDDlNtolLU

The local baseball team added
another scalp to their belt Sunday
afternoon when they defeated the
Lerch Bros. team of Hibbing in a
ond-sided game by score of Is
to 3.
The game up to the fourth
inning was a good article of big
league stuff with the score standing
l to 0 in the visitors favor. It was
in this frame that the locals with
several errors charged up to them
let two members of the opposing
team over the home plate making
the score 3 too.
After the fourth frame the Ely
team determined to win, started to
bat the ball all over the lot and
from then on to the finnish there
was nothing doing in the line of a
score for the visitors while the
locals managed to hit the trail for
13 runs.
Ely was somewhat strengthened
by Hofhler who was at the third
sack. Mr.. Hofhler arrived in the
city last Saturday from Brainerd
and has accepted position with
the D. & l. R. Ry. Co. in this city.

beneficial insect-eating birds.
An amendment was adopted re-
quiring the purchase of small
game license by all persons over
fourteen year of age.
An act was passed which di-
vides the state into two zones for
the opening of the fishing season
for brook trout and black bass.
The dividing line crosses the
state east and west near Browns
Valley, Morris, st. Cloud, Prince
ton and Cambridge. In the nor
thern section the trout season
opens on May 1 and the black
bass season on June Is. The
opening date for these fish in the
southern section remains the
same, namely April Is for trout
ar. May 81 for bass.
Important changes were also
made i'm the law fixing the closed
season for taking fur bearing ami
mails. Otter are protected indie
finitely; black bear between
March l and October Is; gray,
black and fox squirrels, fisher,
martin and raccoon from May 1
to November 81.
On the whole these changes
seem 20 be necessary for the pre-
servation of the game resources
of the state and every true sports
man will observe them himself
and make every effort to encour.
age their observance by others.

Changes In Game Laws

Sportsmen in this district will
be interested in changes in the
game laws effecting Northern
Minnesota which were passed at
the recent session of the legisla-
ture.
One Of the laws Of interest is
that permitting the payment of
rewards to persons other than
salaried gamewardens who secure
convictions for violations Of the
game and fish laws. The act
makes the payment of such re
wards optional with the game and
fish commissioner.
A law was passed prohibiting
the shooting of game of any kind
from motor vehicles.
At times fish in shallow waters
are in danger of smothering and
i'm order to max, it lawful to net
these fish and place them in safe
water, a law was passed permit
ting such netting.
The law passed in 1915 which
permitted the nonresident hunter
to kill a deer and moose while
the resident hunter was permitted
to kill only one deer or one
moose was amended so that this
discrimination against local hunt
ers was removed. The correction
also permits the shipments of
game legally taken by non-resi-
dents to points outside the state.
The open season for shooting
waterfowl and other game birds
will begin on September 16 in
