held in the State Capitol at Madison lasS
week.
The meeting says a Madison correspondent
was largely q dodge of sorrow for the hand o3
death has rested heavily on honored Wisconsin,
pioneers since the last meeting. Seven pEOnaS~
nent members of the society," and persons PROM
inently connected with the early history OF Wis
consin have died during the last year, and these
deaths, closely coming one upon tho other
bring vivid realization of the fact that 10 Is y
matter of only comparatively few years wh8n
there will be no more pioneer residents OF tsaE
Northwest.

-Thousan dis of people who annually
cast lines into the many lakes and rivers
| of Wisconsin will rejoice to learn that .
| strong movement is on foot to better pro-
tect the fish in Wisconsin waters. A re-
| cent dispatch from Milw aukee states THAI
The movement is backed by men of standing
| and influence, and will undoubtedly have the
effect of having the fishing resorts of the Staf61
| abound in fish eventually. During the last SEES
| sion of the Legislature some very WISE game
and fish laws were passed by the States solons,
and during the last season these laws, SO far AE
they relate to game, nave been enforced 10 a.
| not be said concerning the fish laws which are
| part of the game laws. Illegal fishing has
| been Winked at by the deputy wardens all oyer
/ the State and especially has such been the case
| in some of the best known fishing resorts of the
State. So fragrant have become these viola
| tions of the law that prompt measures viii he
| taken to stop the Illegal fishing.
At the head Of the movement in this 0ffeca
| ton is A. V. il. Carpenter, General Passenger
| and Ticket Agent of the st. Paul Railway Mr..
| Carpenter has communicated with Gov. ROsrCEi
| and with the Fish Commissioners and has re-
| ceived substantial encouragement from both
! sources. In addition to this, a number OF Web
| known Milwaukeeans have become interested
| in the matter and will cooperate with Mr.. Car
penter.
The principal feature of illegal fishing is that,
] done by professional fishermen. 1t is not in
| tended to make any crusade against farmers
| small boys who may happen to fish with roo
| and line out of season, but rather against tha
! men who are using set lines and nets.
