Can Get Gun Back
Unlucky Hunter Can Have Gun Back
at Appraised Price

"Can l get my gun back?" is the
plant of many a letter the Minneso-
ia State Game and Fish Department
receives from hunters who have vio-
lated the game laws and whose guns
have been confscated by game ward
ems. Under the law, every gun which
is confscated by warden is sent to
the seizure department, where it is
appraised. After the appraisal, the
unlucky hunter has an opportunity to
recover his gun at the appraised
price. Every article which is con-
fiscated, and this includes guns, fish
ing tackle, furs, traps, etc., must GO
through the seizure department.
even confscated ducks, pheasants and
frog legs are accounted for.
During the winter months a pub
lie auction of confscated sporting
articles is held, which is largely at.
tended. Auction sales for confiscat
ed furs are held at various times
during the year. At the last gun
auction, $50 guns and rifles were dis
posed of to the highest bidders.

BOOTLEGGING FROGS
is NEW INDUSTRY;
SMUGGLED IN CARS

A new species of bootlegger
is being driven out of business
by the Minnesota State Game
and Fish Department. Mime
sofa frogs were the line the
bootleggers were handling and
they were handling them in
large quantities.
Contrary to law, Chicago
firms had been taking thous-
ands of dozens of frog legs
which were secretly shipped to
outside points. A large amount
of this bootlegging was done in
the vicinity of Alexandria,
put in high powered cars and
taken to Dakota, Wisconsin
and Iowa points where they
were re-iced and shipped to
Chicago and other cities in the
. East.
While the law expressly pro-
hibits the taking of frogs for
commercial purposes, Commits
sioner Mccullough recommend
ed Governor Christianson to
give them further protection in
an order which provides that
during the year 1929 no frogs
may be taken except for scien-
tific purposes, or that frogs not
to exceed six inches in length
from tip to tip may be taken
and possessed and used for bait
purposes only.
In all nearly 1000 dozen frog
legs were confiscated by game
wardens. The frog legs were
sold to the general public by
this department.

ST. PAUL MAN BUYS
in CITIZENS BANK
Mr.. Otto Bremmer, st. Paul
Banker, Buys Interest in
Citizens State Bank

Along with the moving of the Cit
izens State Bank to it's new quarters
in the old First National Bank build
ing, which will be completed some
time the later part of this month,
comes the word that Mr.. Otto Brem-
mer, prominent banker of st. Paul,
has purchased substantial interest
in the bank. Mr.. Bremmer, with his
sister Freida Bremmer, spent Sunday
and MONDAY at the home of L. Z.
Ewart and family. On Monday Mr..
Bremmer advised that he had made
a purchase of stock of the Citizens
State Bank.
The new stock holder is rated as
one of the wealthiest men in Mime
sofa, yet he came to this country as
an immigrant lad from Germany in
1886. He is chairman of the board
of both the American National and
Commercial State Banks of st. Paul.
He is likewise associated with num-
erous other banks throughout the
northwest.
Mr.. Bremmer has been associated
with w. w. Klingman, president of
the Citizens State Bank, in several
business deals.
Mr.. Ewart, vice president and
cashier of the bank, in conversation
today said, 'It speaks well and hope
fully for this community to have
such man as Mr.. Bremmer invest
his capital here. We have reason to
believe that our locality is on the
verge of favorable reaction finan-
cially."

Attorney General Rules Ringneck
Pheasant Season Cannot be Opened

The Game and Fish Department
has received requests and petitions
from many parts of the State asking
that the ringneck pheasant season be
opened for limited number of days.
Most of these requests came from
persons laboring under the impress
sion that the Governor could declare
an open season under Section 564O
Mason's Minnesota Statutes 1919,
which is as follows:
additional protection-Gov-
ernor's orders-Whenever the
Governor, after investigation by
the Commissioner, finds that any
species of wild animals, as de-
fined herein, for which an open
season is provided, is in danger
of undue depletion or extinction,
or when necessary for the proper
protection of propagating any
immature wild animals, he may
by order provide protection for
such species, additional to that
provided by law, and to that end,
may prescribe in what manner,
inwhat number, in what places
and at what times the same may
be taken"
In an opinion handed down by the
Attorney General he states that this
law, referred to above as Section
5840, applies to the case wherein the
Commissioner, after due investiga-
ton, finds that additional protection
must be provided in order that any
species of wild game are in danger
of depletion and cannot be in any
way associated with an order call
ing for the opening of a season on
any particular species of wild ami
mails or game birds for which an open
season has not been provided for by
law.
In appealing to the Attorney Gen.
eral the Commissioner of Game and
Fish stressed the fact that an open
season on male ringneck pheasants
for a limited number of days this
year would not only meet with po-
pular approval, but that pheasants
exist sufficient in numbers to war
rant an open season thereon.
This matter was also discussed
with the Hon. Governor Theodore
Christianson who voiced his opinion
as being in favor of signing such an
order, should the Attorney General

COUNTY SHARE OF
GAS TAX RECEIVED
Redwood COunty's Share Totals
S20,394; Board Will Not Ap-
portion Until Next Half

A check for $2O,394.0O, Redwood
county's share of the first half OF
the distribution of one third of the
state gas tax since May 1st, was re-
ceived recently at the office of the
county treasurer. The total amount
divided was $1,375, 100000. The Red
wood County Board of County Com
missioners will no doubt hold this
amunt in the treasury until the sec
ond half payment is made by the
state, in the mean time, mapping out
a building program.
The measure adopting a three
cent gas tax was passed by Mime
sofa voters at the November elec-
tion, one third of the tax to go to
the counties of the state for mainten-
ance of county roads. The three cent
gas tax went into effect May 1.
The distribution of the tax funds
was made by committee consisting
of Ray P. Chase, state auditor; Jul
ius A. Schmahl, state treasurer; and
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner. Three counties, Hen
nepin, Ramsey and St. Louis, receiv-
ed the maximum amount given, SAL
250. The minimum amount to any
single county was $10,312.50.
Division of the tax funds was
made on the basis of mileage of
county and township roads, and traf-
fic needs and road conditions in the
various counties. The next division
will be made in the spring.
The complete list of counties and
amounts each received follows:

PORTLAND, Ind, March 16.-A
movement has been started here for
erection of memorial to Elwood
Haynes, credited with perfecting the
first practicable automobile in his
tory. He was born in this city Oct.
IA, 1857, and lived here until 1890.
Most of the automobile pioneers
work was carried on at Kokono
after 1890, and it was there that he
was engaged for several years in
the manufacture of automobiles.
A job as field superintendent of
the Indiana Natural Gas and Oil
Company, with headquarters at
GreentoWn, caused Haynes to pom
der over the question of faster
transportation than was available
in the early COS. He wanted some
device that would enable him to
more quickly cover his territory
which was dotted with gas and oil
wells.
Before leaving here, Haynes made
some preliminary experiments whose
development gave the world auto
mobiles.

lens connected with the use of In
diana limestone under modern con-
ditionS.
With the use of certain cement as
a bonding material the appearance
of a brown stain is common, and is
often accomplished by a white scum
and disintegration of the stone. It
has been found that both these
symptoms are caused by the pres
ence of excess moisture in the wall,
certain organic salts apparently of
nature resembling hufnus pron1ot-
ing the development of the brown
stain.
Two important conclusions are
reached for the prevention of the
stain-first, that the wall be kept
dry, and second, that building ma
terials low in soluble salts are de-
sirable.
The stain may be removed by
skillfully following a carefully de-
vised mechanical chemical process
outlined in the bulletin. One of the
most effective methods is the use of
a steam jet employing steam under

tanned are applicable to practically
