FOXY FUR TRAPPERS
LOSE THEIR OLD ALIBI

MADISON, Wis.-Fur trappers and
buyers caught with untagged furs and
furs trapped not during the regular
trapping season will no longer have
the alibi that they bought them from
Indians, who are not subject to state
trapping laws.
The U. S. department of the interior
advised the state conservation COM
mission that it had asked the superin-
tendents of all Indian reservations of
the state, which are not affected by
state game regulations to cooperate
with the conservation commission.
This will result in the tagging of all
furs, trapped in or out of season, be-
fore they leave the reservation.
Many fur buyers have escaped a
penalty by declaring that their out
of-season furs have been bought from
Indians. Because Of this, the commits
sion has been unable to prosecute.

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES
FOR MONTH OF OCTOBER

Temperature.-The month opened
raIner warm and continued so until
the 9Th, when a moderately cool
period set in and was not broken un-
til tue 18th, alter which the daily
readings were mostly seasonable or
slightly above until the close OF the
month. The only day on which freez-
ing temperature was reached was the
1th, although it was closely approach
ed on the 9Th, 10th, 18th, and 18th.
AS whole, the mean temperature for
the month averaged 3.5 degrees ABOVE
the normal.
YIeclpiCaCiOn.-The months rainfall
was nearly two inches below the nor
NAL amount, and over half of it &C.
the 18th There was but one day with
measurable precipitation after the
10Th, and the need for moisture was
apparent at the close.
River.-Like that of September, the
river stage at Dubuque was unusually
low throughout the month, continuing
near or slightly above the 2foot stage
during the first half, and slightly be-
low that mark during the second half
of the month. The highest was 2.3
feet on the first, and the lowest, 1-6
feet, which level was maintained dur
ing the last eight days.
Weather and Cr0ps.-The bulk OF
the corn, potatoes, and truck crops
had already reached maturity, so the
dry weather of October had little eff
feet upon them, except to further the
drying out There was an abundance
of sunshine also, and this was highly
favorable for all outdoor work. A
killing" frost did not occur until the
18th, and the advanced state OF all
plant life was such that the damage
from the freeze was negligible. Pas
lures continued green in most cases,
but short, as a rule. Roads were gen.
orally good during the month, but
with some dust on the main Travelled
ones and more or less roughness from
wearing.
Miscellaneous PhenOmena.-Dense
fog occurred on the mornings of the
I'd, Sd, 9th, 10th, 18th, and 18th. Light
frost was deposited on the 18th and
18th; heavy, on the 9th, 10th, and
18th: and killing, on the 18th. Co
ronea were observed on the 25th, 9th
and 28th; and lunar halos, on. the Bird,
and 2Sth. No thunderstorms oc-
cured during the month.
