SHIPPERS TO HEAR
IMPORTANT DEBATE
Representative of Cooperative
Shipping and Packing Plant
to Talk on Livestock

Some time in the near future the
livestock shippers of this community
will have the pleasure of hearing a
debate between a representative of
the Central Cooperative Association
and representative of a city pack
ir,y house. The debate will tend to
give the advantages of cooperative
shipping as opposed to direct ship
ping.
County Agent Bovee stated that al
though no definite date had been
chosen for the debate, it would either
be held the week of September 18 or
early in October. 1t is expected that
it will be necessary to secure hall
of considerable size for this event.
The debate between the two, each
representing different method of
shipping, will be in response to de-
mand created by the direct shipping
of livestock to different plants which
works to the detriment of the CO.
operative shipping idea and to the
producer of livestock.
County Agent Bovee expects to
secure the backing of the Commercial
Club or other civic organizations in
sponsoring of this event, stating that
it is worthy of the attention of every
farmer and business man of the COM
munity.

Shooting Schedule Given; John
son Warns of Carrying As
Sembled Guns in Cars

The hunting season will open on
Monday, September 16, and hunters
of this locality are looking for some
good shooting as there seem to be
goodly number of local ducks.
Game Warden j. Albert Johnson
states that Commissioner Mccullough
has been looking up the interpreta-
ton of some of the laws with regard
to blinds. Permant blinds may not
be constructed before the opening of
the season, on land, either within or
without natural vegetation. The Com
missioner has ruled that permanent
blinds are any kind of platform
constructed by the use of posts or
any other solid foundation.
Under this ruling the hunter can
not build in the water but he can
drive stakes with vegetation tied to
them in order to increase the natur-

al cover, provided that he takes the
stakes up again. at the end of the day.
Decoys also must be brought in at
night.
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 5640
Mason's Minnesota Statutes 1919,
which is as follows:
Additional protection-Governor's
orders-Whenever the Governor, af-
ter investigation by the Commission
er, finds that any species of wild ami
mails, as defined herein, for which an
open season is provided, is in danger
of undue depletion or extinction, or
when necessary for the proper pro-
lection Of propagating any immature
wild animals, he may by an order
provide protection for such species,
additional to that provided by law,
and to that end, may prescribe in
what manner, in what 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
5640, applies to the case wherein the
Commissioner, after due investiga-
tion, finds that additional protection
must be provided in order that any
spices of wild game are in danger
of depletion and cannot be in any way
associated with an order calling for
the opening of season on any part
icular species of wild animals 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 aneopen
season on male ringneck pheasants
for a limited number of days this
year would not only meet with popu-
lar approval, but that pheasants exist
sufficient in numbers to warrant an
open season thereon.
This matter was also discussed
with the Hon. Governor Theodore
Christianson who voiced his opinoin
as being in favor of signing such an
order, should the Attorney General
find that in accordance with the law,
it would be proper for him to do so,
having in mind, of course, that the
Game and Fish Commissioners had re-
commended, in accordance with his
findings, that it would not unduly de-
plete our stock of ringneck pheasants.
The Attorney General rendered his
opinion after having made an exhaus-
tive study of the laws pertaining to
the propagation and protection of
wild animals and game BIRDS There
fore, our inability to grant the wishes
of the people in this particular case
rests entirely upon the lack of legis-
lation. We wish to explain that bills
were presented to the Game and Fish
Committees in the Legislature, but
like many other pieces of legislation
proposed by the department and per-

FORMER LOCAL BOY
IN BOAT DISASTER
Frank Moses, Grandson of MIR.
and Mrs. F. L. Parish, Dies
in Boat Crash

Among the seventy people believed
to be victims of the boat crash off
the coast of San Francisco on August
31st, appears the name of Frank
Moses, a former Redwood Falls boy.
The Associated Press dispatch Civ
es an account of the disaster as fol-
lows:
Sixty-eight of the 110 passengers
and crew of the San Francisco-Los
Angeles lines San Juan probably met
death early August 80 in the fog-ob-
scured waters off the coast of Santa
Cruz county after a collision between
the San Juan and the Standard Oil
tanker S. C. T. Dodd.
The tanker, her bow plates dented
and ripped, reached San Francisco
this afternoon under her own power
bringing 20 survivors, II of them
passengers.
Mr.. Moses, a passenger on the San
Juan, was graduated from the Red
wood Falls high school several years
ago. While he attended school here
he made his home with his grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Parish.
After finishing school he worked for
Butler Bros, in Minneapolis for five
years.
In March 1928 Mr.. Moses was sent
to San Francisco to manage branch
store of Butler Bros, which was
opened there at that time.
Although nothing definite has been
heard by relatives here, it is believed
that there is little hope that Mr..
Moses was saved from the wreck.

day by County Auditor L. P. Lar
son. Approximately 500 licenses
have been sold in the county so

of this class of license.

Hounds in Ne,U York

That the trailing dogs belonging to
Sheriff L. j. Kise are in demand is
proven by the fact that Mr.. Kise had
just recently shipped one of the dogs
to Whitehall, New York, this making
the third deg sold in New York state.
These dogs sold will be used for man
trailing. Wonderful results have
been obtained with all three dogs
