ard now a mail clerk on the Northern
Pacific between here and the twin cities.
President Peet's address was unusually
interesting. It touched the matters of
northern Wisconsin for a great part and
in fact had to do. entirely with that SEQ
ton together with the work Of the asso-
citation and newspapers Of that section.

In President Poets address he said: y,
! If the energy which the state Of Wis
consih now expends in protecting game
could be expended in inducing and encour
/ aging settlers to open up new farms tn.
newspapers Of northern Wisconsin would
be greatly benefited and the whole coun
try would prosper accordingly If Thu
association; is to change the character O
Its work, as no doubt some Of the mem
bers will urge when the subject come
up for general discussion, I hope 1t will
strike atsfthe root of the whole matte
and see sthats4the state co-operates WIFI
the, newspapers and not the newspaper
with the state. Let the editors Of north
Eern. Wisconsin set the pace and If tn
state does not follow let the opponent
of northern advancement get out Of tn
way or be crushed"
President Peet threw quite shot at tn
