HUNTING SEASON.

The season for big game opens or
Sunday and many are taking out
licenses to go into the woods. Ii
censes are being issued at the James
Drug Store and up to noon today
over 100 had been given out.
According to law, aliens are not
permitted to hunt game in Min
nesota or to own or be possessed OF
fire arms after August 1, 1917.
This clause in the game laws has
been interpreted in several ways by
local people. A telephone message
from the county auditor today to
The Miner states that licenses are
being issued to those having declared
their intention to become citizens.
According to this those having first
papers can secure license.
This will set at rest the contention
that man with first papers is not a
citizen and cannot secure a license.
However it should be borne in mind
that first papers over seven years of
age without having made application
for second papers are good for moth
ing and do not count.

WAR RECORDS COMMISSION


AS announced sometime ago, Gov
ernor Burnquist has appointed a
War Records Commission of twelve
members, with S. j. Buck Of the
State Historical Society, as chairman.
This Commission held it's initial
meeting last Tuesday, and elected F.
F. Holbrook field agent of the Histor-
ical Society, as director.
County Historical Societies will be
organized for the purpose of getting
in proper and definite form the his
tory of each county and community
in the present war and to compile a
record of every soldier. The pres
ervation and exhibition of war relics
is part of the Commissions work.
The idea will be to make the re-
suits of the Commissions efforts of
surprising interest to the relatives
and descendants Of every soldier in
the years to come. The value of
such record will increase with the
years. Every community in this
county should cooperate to the full
est extent with the person or com
mittee that is appointed to look after
the all important work.
The Public Safety Commission in.
stantly approved of the plan when il
was presented and has appropriated
funds to take care of the expenses OF
this work.
