Partridge Making
Rapid Comeback.

From all over the north country,
native habitat Of the ruffed grouse or
Minnesota partridge, come reports that
the game bird IS making remarkable
comeback after its rapid decline start
ing from high point of population in
about 1884 and IS, according to Harry
E. Speakes, director of the division of
game and fish.
The natural phenomenon of the rise
and fall in the population of wild life
is an unsolved mystery of the wild, and
game managers are not agreed as to
the cause of the decline of bird life after
| 1t reaches what is called "satrration
point" However, Minnesota partridges
reached this point, and the fall in popu-
| two, very few of the birds were seen
in any of their former haunts
Some game managers are of the
opinion that regulated hunting seasons,
with the length of the seasons and the
bag limits determined according to the
available supply, and thereby controll-
ing the population so that it would
never reach the saturation point, would
prevent the rapid decline of birds after
the high population point. Pennsyl-
vania is carrying out this policy with
satisfactory results.
The rabbit cycles have been studied
for a long time, and the bird cycles
seem to follow those of rabbits. Whether
disease or predators are the major
factor in the cycles has never been
definitely determined.
Regardless of the causes of the cycles
Minnesota sportsmen are happy to see
the return of the partridge to the fields
the woods, and the swamps of the
state

Virginia Daily Enterprise Uncle Sam
is about to make the going tough for
the small loggers of Northern Mime
sofa, If the report is true that the
forestry department is seeking the
customers of these privte timber dealers,
proposing to sell them cuttings from the
Superior National Forest, in which area
a number of camps are to be placed,
this on the theory of giving work to
unemployed lumberjacks and telling
mature timber or that which in the
judgment of the officials ought to be
salvaged. Some ten camps are planned,
it is said, at an initial investment cost
of 100000. Naturally, private loggers
are concerned and fear not only un-
employment for their own men but
serious losses to their businesses.
While it will not be denied that many
lumberjacks are unemployed, there are
any number who can find work if they
desire it, but the ease with which relief
has been secured in recent years has
destroyed much of the incentive to self
initiative, so loggers state. incidentally,
those ill-advised strikes of little while
back were quite blow to both men and
logging firms and from that setback
recovery has not been made. Therefore,
the prospect that the government will
get into active and punitive competition
with private industry is not helping to
stabilize employment in the business of
getting out forest products.
There is no doubt but that the gov
eminent can cut under present going
prices on forest products. Overhead
can be minimized or it can be practi-
cally written off on the score that the
element of relief enters into the under
taking. Needless to add, the private
operator cannot do this. He is up
against a high wage scale, taxes and
the general hazard of doing business.
He is in sharp competition with his
fellows in the open market, and if this
market is being solicited by government
agents, as is claimed, generalization is
sure to follow. 1t is not strange that
appeals are being sent to Washington

TREES INSTEAD
OF SNOW FENCE
Commissioner II. Wenzel Plans
Shelterbelt Trees, Hedge
Along Highways.

An extensive plan for the replace
ment of snow fences along Minnesota's
highways with shelterbelt trees and
hedgerows is the suggestion of Conser-
walton Commissioner Herman c. Wen
eel.
These shelter paintings, in addition
to permanently replacing snow fences
that must be set each fall and removed
in the spring, would furnish ideal shell
ter and food for game birds, as well as
to prevent soil erosion and conserve
moisture on adjoining land
State Highway Commissioner M. j.
Hoffman has indicated his interest and
his willingness to cooperate in the de-
velopment of the windbreak plan in
every possible way.
The plan would involve leasing a strip
of land $50 feet wide, $50 feet from the
highway, part of which would be
planted to trees and shrubs offering
windbreak, as well as shelter and food
for game birds. A part of the strip
would be seeded to grain on a share
basis, where cooperating farmers would
harvest part of the grain, and leave
the balance standing for winter bird
feed.
The new plan could be carried out
under the terms of the Pittman-
Robertson act, whereby the federal
government would provide rs per cent
of the cost, or $500 for every dollar of
hunters license money.
Commissioner Wenzel feels that this
plan developed throughout the prairie
areas of the state would not only in
crease the attractiveness of our high
ways, but would eventually provide more
game birds and better hunting.

WHAT OTHERS SAY !

Grand Rapids Herald eview-There
is a great deal of investigation concern
ing highway accidents.
The fellow who drinks and then drives
is getting some of the criticism that he
deserves.
One Of the investigations tested many
people who were not involved in ac-
cidents. This showed that about II pei
cent of those who are driving had beer
drinking to a point of danger. OF those
actually in accidents, AZ per cent hac
been using liquor to excess.
Here are some of the conclusions
which are an indication of drinking anG
driving habits
The highest percentage of drink
ing drivers occurs in the early
morning hours and over the week
end.
The peak age for drinking drivers
is from IS to 80.
Women drink and drive as much
as men when the number Of
women driving at various hours Of
the day is considered.
The percentage of drinking driv-
ers in the general population varies
as does the percentage of drinking
drivers in the personal injury acct
dent group but falls considerably
lower at all times
The percentage or number OF
drivers involved in personal injury
accidents varies as does the per-
centage or number of drinking
drivers.
AS the blood alcoholic content
increases, the number of drivers ap-
pearing in the personal injury group
increases out of all proportion over
that in the general driving popu-
lation.
AS alcohol increases, accidents in
crease and at a rate somewhat pro-
portionate to the increase in al
cohol.

Long Distance Call
OUer Barbed Wire.

Sank Center-A long distance call to a
rural home, which on its last lap came
over barbed wire fence, was the ex-
perience of the Robert Plant family re-
Gently. Earlier in the day their tele-
phone was out of order and their son,
Robert, had hooked the broken wire
onto the barbed wire fence. Mrs. Plant
had talked down the fence to San
Francisco with perfect sound and she
found the experience considerably diff
ferent from talking over the backyard
fence. You can imagine her surprise
when she said Where are you calling
from?" to her nephew, Bud, and he
answered 'The San Francisco Fair!"

team of bronks hitched to the sleigh

and a change or modification of this
prospective policy sought.
If Uncle Sam is going to put his re-
sources and his forests in competition
with the private operator, afortime, it
will simply mean that private woods
work will be further diminished and the
necessity for relief for unemployed
lumberjacks increased, not decreased.
It had been presumed that Uncle
Sans forests would be maintained
intact as a timber reservoir against the
day when the private logger would be
unable to meet the demand for these
products. In fact, this program as a
policy has been enunciated on more
than one occasion by representatives of
the federal forest service.

Inconsistencies of govern
ment have been illustrated dur
ing the past two weeks" says
Larry Rossman in the Grand
Rapids Herald-Review. "The
grand old state of Minnesota
wishes to help people. The
lawmakers wish to help. The
governor wishes to help. In
cooperation with the federal
and local governments the
state gives relief to people. 1t
says that those who are cold
and hungry should be fed and
clothed. 1t carries out this
pledge to scores of thousands
of people.
''In almost the same breath,
legislatively speaking, the state
passes a small loan bill which
legalizes an interest rate OF Sc
per cent on the small borrow
ings of poor people. In other
words, the state says its citizens
should have help and relief and
that the government is SYM
pathetic and humane. At the
same time it delivers unfor.
tunate citizens into the hands
of TIE loan sharks who will
henceforth have the protection
of government. 1t would be
far more humane for the gov.
eminent to set up its own lend
ing agency at a reasonable rate
Some steps in that direction
have been taken"

More tourists from Alberta and
Saskatchewan visit Great Falls
than from any of the states of the
union, check of registers at three
tourist camps revealed. Since July
! /, % cars from Alberta and ~
from Saskatchewan, carrying APP
prOximately $50 persons, checked
in at the Nichols camp. Inspection
of registers at the Sunset camp
and the Riverside camp southwest
of the city disclOses a preponder-
ance of Canadian cars.
Canadians not only outnumber citi-
zens of the United States among our
patronage said Keith Nichols, but
they make extensive purchases while
in Great Falls. 1t is not uncommon
for some of these northern visitors to
leave sales slips behind showing they
have purchased hundreds of dollars
worth of goods in local stores. One
recent visitor to our camp bought BIZ
cycles for each of his five children. We
notice many Canadians going for home
with small radios, American-made
automobile tires and other motor ac-
cesSorieS and cotton goods"
Given As Hours
Each Canadian visitor to the United
States over the age of IA is permitted
to spend 48 hours in the United States
and return with goods to the value
of 500 without being subject to the
payment of duty.
Canadians tell me they can do their
shopping in Great Falls and pay for
the cost of their trip with the amount
saved" said Mrs. E. e. Krause, pro-
prietor of the Riverside camp. Mrs.
KrauSe recalled that a party of six
recently spent the night at the River
side camp, registering from DeadWoOd,

line costs so cents a gallon up there"
Mrs. Fred Thielbar of the Sunset
camp said more of her patrons came
from Alberta than any of the 48 states
and that Of these most registered from
the three largest cities of the province
Edmonton, Calgary and Iethbridge.
From East Africa
Among recent visitors at Sunset
camp we're MIR. and Mrs. w. White of
Nairobi Kenya Colony, East Africa,
who spent the night of July Is in
Great Falls.
At Nichols camp visitors from dis
tant points included Mr.. and Mrs Sam
Grips. of Oxford, England, and Mrs.
Barrett of London. They travelled in
an Anerican-made car. Also noted on
the register at Nichols camp were Mr.
and Mrs. d. D. Cruickshank of Kauai,

shank expressed admiration for the
flowers and shrubs along the river
front, saying they were more like their

for Return of Man
on SLGYinq CHARGE

Following hearing, Gov. Roy E.
Ayers denied the request of West Vir-
GINA authorities who wanted to ex-
tradite John Kelly Of Plains on a IT.
year-old murder charge. In a state
ment issued after the hearing, Gov
ernor Ayers said.
This denial is based upon the fact
that if it has taken the state of West
Virginia IL years to make a case
against Kelly, during all Of which time
the officers of the West Virginia
county now asking his extradition
knew where he was, or with the slight
est diligence, could have known where
he was, it Is an injustice to return
Kelly at this time, upon short notice
and at his own expense to prepare
his defense.
There is also doubt in my mind
as to Kelly's guilt and under the law
l should give him the benefit of that
doubt. Then again, he has been an
excellent citizen of this state during
his II years of residence here"
