from Rudolph to Miss Slattery's home
was distance Of about two miles was
somewhat eventful as the party was
caught in severe rain storm which
seem to have but one effect, that was
to add to their merriment. They were
not the kind of people to miss good
time for a little rain storm and the
drying of their clothing or securing
borrowed clothes was one of the
comfcle features OF the day. Miss
Slattery's young friends put in day
that will long be Remembered and they
declared it the best trip OF the season.
The party consisted Of the following
young people who returned on the II

ANOTHER PICNIC ON THE
WISCONSIN RIVER

1t is hard to tell in this northern
climate when the picnic season begins
or ends, but it is quite plain that the
best time for an outing in the timber
belt along the river is in the month
of September or first of October. Last
Sunday about fifteen of the friends
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Bamberg drove
up the Wisconsin river beyond Biron
and spent the day in the heavy tim
Der on the banks of the stream. The
picnic was In honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hartman, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
who are visiting in our city. The
dinner was entirely in keeping with
the occasion and consisted largely in
an excellent fish ch0wder. The com.
pany enjoyed splendid ride by moon
light and pleasant trip home re-
freshed with the days outing and
delighted by the splendid scenery
along the Wisconsin.

Henry Demitz and Fred Stamm
caught 40 speckled trout in seven
mile creek the first OF the week.
Some people seem to have the i'm
preston that the speckled trout are
getting somewhat scarce in the
streams that empty into the WiscOn-
sin river for the first ten miles down
the stream, but this however is a
mistake. These streams have been
well stocked with the speckled
beauties and they afford excellent
fishing to the sportsman who is equal
to their shy and cunning ways.
