DELINQUENT TAX LIST SMALL
County Treasurer Arnd Will IU
Light Offering for Investors
This Yenr.
The annual tax sale of delinquent realty,
which will be held by County Treasurer
Arr.d Monday, December 7, will be even
lighter than last year, when It was the
smallest In the history of Pottawattamie
county for A number of years. The small
list of delinquent property as published haa
since been reduced by the number of per
sons who have paid their taxes. Up to
Saturday ROO more receipts had been Issued
by tho county treasurer than last year.
As for a number of years past the United
States government appears on the list of
delinquent property owners and will con
tinue to do so until the city council and
Board of County Supervisors wipes the de
linquent tax off the treasurer's books. Spe
cial taxes against the postofflce building,
amounting to $2,000, hare been standing on
the treasurer's books since 1885 and each
year the United States has appeared as a
delinquent property owner. The taxes were
for the paving and sewering of Broadway.
The government refused to pay, as It never
pays taxes against Its property. When
Thomas Bowman waa in congress he made
an effort to have the government pay these
cpeclal taxes, but failed.
Since that time Sixth street on the east
side of the postofflce his been twice paved,
the first time about ten years ago, with
cedar block, and about two years ago with
brick. Knowing that It was useless to as
sess any portion of the cost In front of the
postofflce to the government tle city as
sumed the expense.

Footpad Attacks Woman.
Miss Bessie Knudsen, employed In the
family of F. F. Everest on Glen avenue,
was assaulted by a footpad lute Saturday
night while on her way home. The as
sault was evidently with the intention of
robbery but the footpad waa frightened
away before he succeeded in securing Miss
Knudsen's pocketbook. Miss Knudsen had
been spending the evening with relatives In
the north part of the city ami was on N.nth
street between Avenues D and E, on her
way home when she was struck from be
hind and knocked down. Her crlea brought
neighboring residents to the scene and the
footpad ran north on Ninth street. In his
haste he dropped a bundle of clothes, which
were later Identified by Mrs. Moxley of 717
West Washington avenue as having been
taken from her yard. Miss Knudsen re
ceived a somewhat severe bruise on the
back of the head but was not seriously
Injured. It is thought she was struck with
a slung shot.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN IN DANGER
Iowa Game Warden Suggests a Close Seaion
of Three Fall Tears.
TWO WET YEARS MAKE BIRDS SCARCE
License for Resident Hanters la Also
Proposed, Which Wnnid Yield
Thirty Thousand for tinnie
Protection.
(JYom a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES. Nov. 29.-(Speclal.) Oeorge
A. Lincoln of Cedar Rapids, state fish and
game warden for Iowa, raises a warning
cry in his biennial report just filed with
Governor Cummins, In regard to the ex
tinction of the prairie chicken in Iowa. He
calls attention to the fact that two sea
sons have been wet nnd unfavorable at the
breeding season and the result Is that in
many parts of tho state no wild chickens
are to be found. Unless something In done
to give the chickens a chance for life the
birds will soon bo a thing of the p;ist and
he, therefore, recommends that the state
absolutely forbid all killing of prairie
chickens for three years from next July.
lie reports Quail aa numerous, and the
two seasons have been- excellent for rais
ing ducks. He would recommend a change
In the open season for quail, shortening it
to the period from October 15 to December
1. He would aboliHh the spring shooting
season for ducks, geese and brant and make
tho open season from September 1 to Janu
ary 1 only.
Proposes Hunter's License.
As a further protection, not only to game
birds but to song birds, he would have a
law for a resident hunter's license with spe
cial restrictions against shooting birds on
Sunday. He believes that every sportsman
in the state Is in favor of such a license
law and that $30,000 annually would be thus
realized for the state as a fund, out of
which tho deputy wardens could be paid.
In regard to wholesale killing of birds tho
warden would extend the limitation of fifty
birds a day to aquatic fowl as well as to
grouse and similar birds. He would also
have some Improvements in the law to pre
vent unlawful shipments out of the state
of prohibited game. , .
Millions of Younsr Fish.
In regard to fish the warden gives sta
tistics showing fhat there were distributed
in two years by the United States Fish cOm
sion over 2,600,006 fish, which were placed In
Iowa streams or along the Mississippi. But
the past seasons were not good for tUh.
The extremely high water caused many fish
to get out into the ponds and bayous and
even Into the cornfields and it has been
difficult to herd them back Into the rivers.
The distribution of fish by the Btate com
mission has stopped because there was no
appropriation for the work. A large number
of seining permits have been Issued under
the new law, and while there has been
complaint because the seining disturbs the
spawn the warden believes this can be ob
viated by care. The new law against dyna
miting has been effective. In regard to the
Bonaparte dam the warden reports that It
Is now open for the passage of fish, thanks
to the floods of last Spring.
The warden asks for an- appropriation of
J16.000 to carry on the'Work, as follows:
Protection and 'dlMribtJyon of fish, S,000.
payment of deputy fish wardens, $3,000;
transportation of fish car, 1. 000; protection
of game, $2,600; paying deputy game war
dens, $1,000; assistant fish warden's salary,
$600; gathering fish at Sabula. $3,000. The
June bill of expenses and all since have
beea unpaid because of lack of money. The
warden has had 124 prosecutions In the bien
nial period, with eighty-five convictions.
Tim Siies aim cosis paid amounted to $4,
311.42. Tho state last eighteen cases. Jail
sentences were imposed in twenty-one
cases.
Interests Aa-rlcultnrists.
The second week In the coming month
will be one of great activity among the
people of Iowa who are interested most
in agricultural pursuits and collateral
lines. Tho state farmers' institute mests
and with It a number of other allied as
sociations. Including the Stute Horticul
tural society and the Btate Park and
Forestry association. The forestry as
sociation, which was formed at a meeting
held two years ago in the state house, is
one of the growing young associations of
the state and Its members are engaged In
promoting the work of making parks and
preserving forests in the state. Prof.
Thomas Macbride of the Iowa State uni
versity is the president of the association,
and men interested in agricultural pur
suits and In the science of forestry have
generally taken hold of it. The program
this year will be Interesting because It Is
expected that steps will be tuken to ar
range for some legislation that will assist
in tho preservation of forests 'and a sys
tematic tffort to Increase the .number of
trees grown In the state. The association
has committees on legislation, on ways
and means, on civic improvement and
municipal legislation and other subjects.
In the afternoon of December 8 the as
sociation will meet with the horticultural
society and in the evening of the previous
day the horticulturists will Join with the
forestry association in a program. The

IMtch Leglalntlon Wanted.
A number of the legislators who have
been In the city recently have Indicated
their Intention of work' . for some needed
legislation In regard to drainage districts
in the state. This Is true In all parts of tho
state, for the state drainage and ditching
laws have not been operative, and there
has been much litigation on the question.
The demand is for a law that will enable
the county authorities to set apart certain
districts for drainage purposes and provide
lor taxation io make long ditches.
No Uurt Hour Laws.
That tho state of Iowa Is a little back
ward iln the matter of legislation for the
betterment of the condition of workers was
made manifest again when tho secretary
of state received a request from Marshall
CuBhlng, secretary of tho National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers, for copies of laws
relating to the eight-hour workday and the
shorter workday generally, and for de
cisions of the courts affecting such legis
lation. The secretary of state was unable
to find any such laws and turned the mat
ter over to the state commissioner of labor,
and Mr. Brigham answered Mr. dishing to
the effect that Iowa has no legislation on
the subject end no decisions have therefore
been made. "It might be added," volun
teered tho commissioner in addition, "that
the shorter workday is a popular movement
among our employers, merchants and wagn
earners, and Is rapidly growing In favor;
such matters are amicably arranged be
tween the parties In Interest by agreements
or contracts usually made annually, nnd
all In strict accord with the closed shop
principle, which has been found to be tho
most satisfactory principle for continuous
and profitable operation of Industries."
Contest Among Normal "cbools.
The annual contest of the Interstate
League of state normal schools for ora

at Cedar Full, la.. May 6 next, and already
the' normal schoolB in five states are mak
