Representative Candidate
Called on Friends Sunday.

Peter Cosgrove of Gilbert, re-
membered by many of the old timers in
this city as having been one of the
''big shots" in the fireman's tournament
meets which for years electrified the
people of the range towns, the last for
Ely having been held here in 1914, was
in the city early in the week calling on
old friends and laying the ground work
for his campaign for representative of
the 61St district.
Mr.. Cosgrove was the first candidate
to file for one of the offices now held
by Ray Anderson of Gilbert and j. j.
Kraker of Virginia. In seeking the
office he presents varied experience as
his qualifications for the post.
He came to Eveseth in 1899 and was
employed with the Sullivan Exploration
company and the Oliver Iron Mining
company until 1908. In that year he
moved to Sparta where he served as
chief of police until 1909 when the vii
lage was moved.
He served as trustee on the first Gill
bert council and later served as mayor
for four terms He was instrumental
in the organization of the Gilbert school
district in 1912 and served on the
board for twelve successive years. For
the past two years he has been en-
ployed as foreman on WPA projects.
Mr.. Cosgrove proclaims himself to
understand the problems of the farmer
and the laborer and presents himself
as the logical labor representative to
the legislature from this district.

March, according to the department,
ia drivers lost the right to drive for
being intoxicated. This cause &C
counted for all but of a total of 11S
revocations for the month
During March, 35 drivers licenses
were also suspended, the report showed
At the same time 60 licenses were re-
turned to those whose suspension period
had expired. The 118 revocations in
March were in contrast to II in March
a year ago. However, for the same
period the suspensions declined under
the total of March year ago, which
indicates that the courts are becoming
more inclined to order revocations for
fragrant traffic violations than sus-
pensions.
For the month, the records revealed,
Hennepin county had n revocations,
st. Louis %, and Ramsey Is. In sus-
pension, Ramsey county led with 10
and Hennepin was second with six
Reckless driving accounted for the ma
jority of the suspensions.

THE DEER QUESTION.

Writing from Pokegema to the Min
neapolis Journal, John Dobie pay a
compliment to the conservation de-
partment of the state anent the game
situation.
Compliments for the department of
this kind are few and far between and
especially last year when the deer
season was opened and the move being
considered very ill-advised on the part
of the majority of sportsmen in the
state and particularly in the northern
part.
There will be many who will take
issue with Mr.. Dobie on his letter to
the Journal on his evaluation of the
opinions of sportsmen against that of
the scientist. The Sportsmen who
figured the opening of the deer season
last fall as poor conservation measure
as they saw it do not take kindly to the
statement that the scientist working
out of an office in st. Paul, knew more
about conditions than those did who
were on the ground and had based their
opinions on experience.
The letter of Mr.. Dobie was as fol-
lows:
To the Editor:
The editorial in The Journal on the
common sense" of the State Conserva-
ton Department is a bit unfair. just
because the department opened the deer
season lover the protests of its
own wardens and sportSmen groups in
the northern part of the state" is no
sign that it was not guided by common
sense.
Experience has shown that the OBJ
servations of sportsmen are too meager,
too unreliable, and too biased to be of
any value in determining conservation
policies and practices. The Conserva-
ton Department is to be complimented
on its new policy of using the reports
Of its scientists rather than the hunters
when formulating its hunting and fish
ing program. 1t is only through such
methods that true conservation can be
obtained.
The deer season was opened last fall
because the deer drives taken by the
CCC camps showed that the deer popu-
lation of 1897 was greater than that
of the fall of 1886. Many people doubt
the accuracy of these drives, but it must
be remembered that the population
figures from these drives are hundred
per cent more accurate than the best
estimates of sportsmen and wardens.
Another reason for the open season
was the food shortage for the winter.
Many sportsmen claimed that there was
plenty of food just because they could
see large amounts of brush throughout
the woods. These hunters forget that
the deer don't range throughout the
woods in the winter when the snow is
deep. They yard up in small areas that
they can keep open. These yarding
areas are very short of food, but the
deer use them anyway. Studies in 1885
and 1886 showed that large numbers of
deer starved to death in these areas.
It is much better to have these deer
shot in the fall than to let them starve.
In spite of all the complaining about
the shortage of deer last fall, fifty per
cent of the hunters got their deer. The
poor hunting weather was more re-
sponsible for the so-called deer shortage
than the number of deer. I still don't
see where the hunters get all this talk
of depleted deer population, when
Minnesota now has the largest deer
population of its history.
