sloughs or which are found to be in
immediate danger of such destruc-
ton.

Birds-By this act the open season
for shooting water fowl and other
game birds will begin on Sept. 16
instead of Sept. 7. The season for
prairie chickens will close on Oct. l
and the bag limit for upland birds,
except quail, is reduced to five birds
per day and fifteen in possession of
any or all kinds combined. A daily
limit of ten quail is permitted, and a
season bag limit of twenty-five
prairie chickens or thirty quail is
fixed The season for quail shooting
is the month of November only. A
closed season for three years is fixed
for ruffed grouse or partridge.
Inland Commercial Fishing-An
act has been passed amending the
present law so that the county COM
missioners of the several counties,
may, if they see fit, close their re-
spective counties to this commercial
fishing at the annual July meeting of
the county boards. Such action so
taken BY the county boards cannot
be rescinded and no action can be
taken at any other meeting. It is
also made unlawful for the county
commissioners to solicit or receive
for their respective counties any per-
Centage of the proceeds Of such fish
ing. The new law provides also for
a graded percentage to be paid to
the state by the fishermen based up
on the quantity of fish taken per
month.
Retrieving Wounded Ducks-The
law fOrbidding the pursuing and
shooting of ducks in open water was
amended to allow the retrieving of
birds which may have been wounded
when shot from pass or bind, fall
ing in open water.
Protection of Highways and Other
Property From Muskrats-The law
is amended slightly to allow the
game and fish commissioner to permit
town boards to designate persons to
destroy muskrats which are injuring
highways.
Aliens Prohibited From Hunting
This act, which was submitted in
1915, and which failed of passage at
that time, prohibits aliens, that is,
persons who are not citizens of the
United States or have not legally de-
citizens, from hunting game birds or
possessing firearms of any kind. An
exception is made in favor of alien
sportsmen who are permitted to hunt
in Minnesota under this act on the
same terms as nOn-residents.

IMPERIAL APPANAGES"
TURNED OVER TO THE NEW
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
(By Associated Press. J


fetrograd, April 1.-THE Russian
Grand Dukes, who have just formal
" turned over their "appanages." or
orhcial grants, to the new govern
nent. have made a great financial
sacrifice by this remuneration. The
srand ducal estates surrendered ag-
gresate more than 20,000,000 acres.
including thousands of prosperous
farms and many thriving towns and
Villages. The annual income from
these estates is estimated at over
100000 rubles.
The Imperial appanages, before
the serfs were liberated, controlled
over 100000 agricultural laborers.
Emperor Paul /. set aside these vast
estates for the benefit of the grand
cukes because he foresaw the neces-
slty of making the imperial family
financially independent of the reign
emperor. Grand dukes who have al
various times incurred the displeas-
nre Of the emperor and nave exiled
themselves. have always continued to
receive their share of the appanasesr
with which the emperor was power
less to interfere.
