St. Paul, Dec. 4.-Hunting season
in the north woods was practically
ended today. Big game will be pro-
tected for another eleven months af-
ter tomorrow night. The last days
of the shooting are always the short
est, ,beoAMse most of the hunters have
bagged their game and are anxious
to get through the Gordon. of watch
ful game wardens before the season
ends. Anyone caught with deer or
a moose after today will come under
suspicion at once.
Thousands of deer have been killed
during the season and many moose
were secured by the more hardy
woodsmen. Baggage and express cars
have been overloaded with deer dur
ing the last two weeks, as hunters
came back from their trips. All re-
ported deer plentiful, but some re-
turned minus their prizes. While all
admitted there were plenty there,
some were forced to admit they were
not good enough huntsmen to get
them.
The season was marked by the
small number Of casualties. Hunters
were using greater caution, It is be-
lieved, and thus conserving human
life through falling off in the num-
ber Of accidents.
The fisher, mink, muskrat and
marten season opened this week and
backwoodsmen are expected to devote
much of their time this winter to
trapping. Furs are more valuable
this winter than ever before, and fur
buyers report a greater demand than
ever before in history.

This may be it: +:
Efforts by the water bottle boys''
to organize a second company have
apparently proved futile. Now, it is
understood, they will throw their

Captain Swinson. They don't like
him and won't stand for him. He
won't be appointed if they can help
it. That's the line of attack now.
Well, let's see.
"Greater" Than Association.
A committee of fourteen men, tried
and true, chosen from the best Be-
midji has to offer, has endorsed him
unanimously. Then, at a meeting OF
the biggest gathering Of Bemidji
business men and citizens ever held
in the Civic and Commerce associa-
tion quarters, Mr.. Swinson was UN-
ANIMOUSLY endorsed. The recon-
mendation of the committee was met
with loud applause and everybody
went on record, to get behind Mr..
Swinson and the work Of organiza-
tion.

Well, what do the boys think Of It,
Just this. They're disgusted with

Here's The Answer.
At gathering of about twenty

"Tm going to enlist right away"

off they went / looking for Captain

That's the spirit they are showing.
They can stand for a lot, these re-

test anything that savors Of unpatri-

is, Lets all join the ranks. Use me

PLANS will be made at this meeting
to carry out fixed program OF edu-
cation in order to make more clear
the. stand being taken by the various
|labor organizations.
I, Favor Plumb Plan.
In a conversation with some of the
men, it was brought out that the To-
cal boys favor the Plumb plan Of leg
islation, because they consider It the
fairest, not only to themselves, but
to the public in general. They ad-
nit that it is not perfect piece Of
Legislation, but that it can be SO
modified and amended that it will
work to the best interests of all con-
cerned. =
They state the Plumb Plan does
not mean an increase in wages to the
men in general, as is the opinion Of
many, but that it will tend to reduce
the cost of traffic rates, which, they
claim, differs from either the Esch
or Cummins bills.
Rail Men Sincere.
They are sincere in their demands
Of congress to retain the railroads
under government control for at
least two years, that the people may
have sufficient time to study the
problem and approach it from the
angle of the public welfare.
The demands made by the miners
for s1x-hour day and five day
members of the local organizations
at the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton quarters Wednesday. The dis
cussion took place, directly after the
regular noon day luncheon.
New View of Miners.
"The miners are not demanding a
six-hour day and five day week."
said one of the men, "but their de-
mand is that they be given at least
this much time to work each week.
During the war the average time put
in by the miners was twenty-five
hours week, which was not enough
to keep them going.
THE mine operators simply laid
the men off when they had accumu-
lated enough coal to keep up ship
ments and then put them back to
work when the supply had been
shipped out These facts are just
coming out and, when the people
learn all the facts they will Hook upon
the laboring demands from differ
ent angle" Il. s !.
The members of the local organi-
cations are utterly opposed to "Red
Flaggers" and bolshevik SYM
pathizers, and appear to be absolute
ly sincere in doing the things that
are for the public good.
