mon RESIDENT
| FISH LICENSES.
TO ENFORCE THE LAW IS AIM
OF STATE DEPARTMENT.

Steps are being taken by the
Minnesota game and fish department
to bring about rigid enforcement OF
the law requiring nonresidents TO OBJ
tain fishing licenses. In the past,
this law has not been taken as seri-
ously as it was intended, and while
tourist bureaus report approximate
ly 100000 non-residents spent their
vacation in Minnesota last season,
game and fish department records re-
veal approximately 10000 nonresi-
dent fishing licenses sold.
Unlike the funds derived from the
sale of hunting licenses and certain
| other funds that accrue under the
state game and fish laws, moneys
received from the sale of non-resi-
dent fishing licenses revert directly
to the game and fish department
The department needs funds to
propagate fish and to restock the
lakes and streams. It has been
handicapped by insufficient appro-
priation, and it is the commissioners
purpose to obtain commensurate
revenue from non-residents who en-
joy Minnesota's fishing privileges.
The nonresident fishing license
fee is So. Orders have been placed
for 175,000 permits, and more will
be ordered if they are needed. I'm
der the law, nonresident is privil-
eyed to catch the legal limit of fish
on terms with Minnesota fisherman.
He may take only 25 pounds out of
the state, however, and fish thus
transported must be tagged with
the coupon that is attached TO the
permit when issued. Thus a nom
resident who ships or transports fish
out of the state must obtain an
other permit and coupon before he
can repeat. Game wardens have
been instructed to enforce that pro-
vision.
It is believed that evasion of the
law in the past might be due in
some measure to lack of familiarity
with the requirement. To correct
this fault, a campaign of education
has been launched by the depart
ment. Attractive posters have been
distributed, calling attention TO the
fact that nonresident fishing licenses
are for sale. The fish laws also will
be posted conspicuously. Automo-
bile windshield posters will be issued
to tourists applying for permits.
Owing to the fact that the fishing
season in Wisconsin opens later
than the Minnesota season, requests
for license books have been re-
ceived from many points in that
state. They viii be on sale in
North and South Dakota and Iowa
also.
The reverse side of each nom
resident permit carries a list of
"don'ts", which, if observed, viii
avert violation of Minnesota's fish
ing laws.

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK

In spite Of the fact that the week
for this and the week for that
movement has been run to the
ground, President Coolidge and
Governor Preus- think that the pro-
lection Of the forests of the coun-
try and the state are of such vital
interest to everyone today that they
have set aside by proclamation the
week Of April 1927 as Forest Pro-
lection Week, and the public Is re-
quested to give special thought at
this time to the protection of our
fast diminishing timber resource.
In this part of Minnesota, Forest
Protection Week" should include
the entire fire season. Here, II
anywhere in the United States, we
should realize the danger of forest
fires. Our last confagrations were
as recent as six years ago when
Cloouet, Moose Lake and other
towns were burned and even Duluth
was threatened. With these terrible
disasters still fresh in the minds of
most of our people, it is almost un-
believable that some Minnesotans
will continue to be careless with fire
or allow others to do SO.
Over ninety-nine forest fires out
of every hundred in Minnesota are
caused by some human agency and
can be prevented. Forest fires can
and must be prevented by the will
of the people and when thew occur
they must be put out without delay.
It is not enough that we obey the
fire laws. We should insist that
others be careful with fire and we
should assist the State and Federal
Forest Services in preventing viola
lions.
The welfare of Northern Mime
sofa is very directly associated with
timber. The income to the state
from harvesting forest products,
logs, pulpwood, poles, posts, ties and
mining timber is enormous in itself.

MILK HERDS BEING
DAILY IMPROVED

Through the efforts of the local
people and the county agents, the
local dairy herds are being daily
improved with the addition of pure
bred stock. The farmers have
taken TO the idea and for the past
two years have been making every
effort to improve the dairy herds.
DR.. Thompson has been persistent
advocate of pure bred stock and
his work is bearing fruit. During
the past week Martin Skala has i'm
proved his herd with the addition
of two Holstein heifers. Mike
Papich has added two Holstein heif-
ers TO his herd and John Koshak at
Spalding has added three of the
same kind. Fabian Maenpaa of
White Iron has recently become the
possessor of pure bred Holstein
bull and these with the addition of
the Guernseys and Holsteins brought
in last year are doing much towards
the Improvement Of the herds. Sew
eral others are also arranging for
the acquisition Of pure bred cattle.

MAKES APPROPRIATION FOR
BUOYS IN VERMILION.

An appropriation of $4,000 to
provide 100 buoys and to place
them to mark the shadows and reefs
in Lake Vermilion is provided for
in a resolution introduced and acted
on at the meeting of the board of
st. Louis county commissioners Sat
urday. The resolution provides for
the selection of a committee COM
posed of Commissioners William
Fay, chairman, and A. E. Dyer,
Deputy Auditor Fred d. Ash and
Assistant Engineer Ray Mattson to
supervise the installation of the
buoys and the clearing out of the
deadheads now infesting the lake,
the blasting out of rocks, construc-
ton of ice breakers and the repair
ing of the retaining walls.
The appropriation is part of the
amount set aside in the general
revenue fund for the purpose of
improving the navigable lakes and
streams in the country. The Ely
Commercial Club also has a petition
in for a like amount to be used in
buoying and improving, Burnside,
White Iron, Birch and other lakes
in this vicinity and probably will be
acted on as soon as the Club COM
mittee gets the improvements listed.
Another resolution acted on by
the board provides for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 from the aviation
field account for the purpose of
paying for the site for the Hibbing
aviation field. Commissioners APP
pointed to award damages for the
condemnation of the site awarded
the Mountain Iron company $4,000
damages and the State of Mime
sofa $4,000. With the acquisition Of
this tract the entire 160-acre site
will have been saken up by the
county.

WAY SOUGHT TO
| START BONUS
WORK
Department Chiefs Trying to
Find Means Of Raising Money
That Congress Forgot

Desperate efforts by Government
heads to save world war bonus &C.
tivities from serious delay were
being made today in the office of
Brigadier General Herbert M. Lord,
Director Of the Federal Budget.
Congress having adjourned with
out making appropriations for the
bonus, tho department chiefs are
hard put to 1t to find some means
by which they can raise the money.
The suggestion that President
Coolidge might authorize q de,
nciency and appropriate the neces-
Eary funds during the period Of
Congressional adjournment, has
fallen by the word of General Lord,
who stated that this action could
only be taken in case the lives Of
American citizens or Federal prop.
erty were in peril.
One Way Out.
1t was deemed more likely today
that the department chiefs might
be allowed to whittIe down work
and funds In other branches Of their
establishments and throw their
strength into the bonus offices.
This step cannot be taken without
the consent Of General Lord. He
holds the key to the situation--he
and Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl. Both are disciples Of strict
economy, and may be able to make
the money available by the pairing
OF expenses in various offices.
The most urgent needs are in the
war Department and the Navy De.
partment. which must take the in
tt1attve in arranging for the distri-
button of the bonus.
The Veterans Bureau, according
10 opinions expressed there today,
can handle a portion of the bonus
work already, and may be able to
act on a small number Of claims
with the present force. On the
other hand. the bureau is Just now
Undertaking an expansion of its re-
nao1ntat1on work, especially in 70.
gard to tuberculosis patients.
COnfers With Lord.
Adjutant General Davis, of the
army, who has supervision over
