Chase OsbOrn's Report.

Hon. G. S. Osborn, state game
warden, has made his biennial re-
port and among the numerous rec
concentrations says: every per-
son carrying a gun during the open
season, in counties in which deer
exist, should be required to have a
license to hunt deer" He does not
think it necessary to prohibit the
sale OF venison, especially if the
number of deer one man may kill be
wisely reduced from five to three or
two. He says that the number of
deer in the state is slowly but surely
increasing.
Numerous other recommendation
are made, among them being laws
to prohibit the killing of wild
pigeons for term of years, requir-
ing fish ladders for all dams. pro-
hibiting the pollution of waters by
chemicals, and the depositing of
sawdust in streams, prohibiting the
killing of insectivorous birds, pro-
hibiting spring shooting, prohibit
ing the killing of beaver in Michigan
for ten years, and also prohibiting
the killing of any fur bearing ami
NAL save during the months in
which its fur is known to be prime.
The wolf bounty should be $25,
lynx So and wildcat 81. Mr.. Osborn
says they are killing scores of upper
peninsula deer. In conclusion, War
den Osborn protests against an
sslrlier open season for quail, wood
cock and partridge than is provided
in the present law,

GOOD CHANCE FOR A SUMNER RESORT.
OF all the western states Michi-
gan presents greater attractions
and advantages for summer visitors
than any other that can be named
A point in Michigan that is admir-
ably adapted for a summer resort,
but which unfortunately is without
proper hotel Accommodations, is the
town Of L'Anse, on the Duluth,
South Shore Il Atlantic railway.
The Business Men S Association Of
this town have an option on a
splendid site for a hotel, fronting
the bay with the Linden Greek run
ming along one side Of it, the latter
affording fine place for boating,
etc. Perfect sewerage can be Sc
cured at slight cost, and the loca-
ton may be said to be an ideal one
for hotel of forty or fifty rooms.
Any hotel man of small means and
large experience who will undertake
to build such a hotel at l. Anse will
be treated with great liberality by
the citizens of the town. The
Business Mems Association is also
engaged in locating tannery and
normal school at L'Anse, both of
which will be of great assistance to
y hotel to be operated, commercially,
all the year round, and during the
summer as resort for pleasure and
health seekers. Particulars. con
cerning this enterprise may be OBJ
tanned from George w. Hibbard,
G.. p. A. of the Duluth, South Shore
& Atlantic railway, at Marquette,
Mich, or Mr.. +. A. Mack, whose
postofiice address is L'Anse, Mich.

A gang of swindlers which has
operated extensively in Wisconsin
and Minnesota has now begun in
Michigan. The plan is to get the
name and family history of some
man who disappeared years ago and
has not since been heard from
Then one of the conspirators, located
in Spain, will assume the role of
monk, and write some surviving
relative of the missing man that the
latter is either dead or dying, pos
sesscd of an immense property, and
has made will in favor of the per-
son addressed. Ii the latter ''bites"
at the first bait and answers the
communication, second letter will
arrive from Spain, giving such cir
cumstantial detail and such bits OF
family history as will convince the
alleged heir of perfect truthfulness
Subsequent correspondence will re-
suit in statement that certain
amount, usually a few hundred, but
sometimes thousand, dollars. must
be sent to settle tax claims, church
titles, legal fees, etc. And il the
"heir" complies, that's the last he
will ever hear from Spain.
