THIRTY SIX YEARS AGO
From the River Falls Journal,
August 10, 1873

Our farmers are building more
this season than any previous year.
With an abundant harvest and fair
prices for their products they are
enabled TO brush up" their premis-
es yearly and have something left
after meeting all outstanding de-
mands. Who says farming don't
pay in the ST. Croix Valley? No
farmer makes that assertion who
thoroughly understands his bust
ness and attends to it.
Harvesting is nearly finished and
wheat is being brought into market
lively, some of which is being con-
tracted for $1.O0 per bushel. 1t is
all No. l, and some lots go to the
figures of sixty. one pounds to the
bushe1. Farmers have no cause for
complaint this season as to yield,
quality or price.
James Dunn and j. F. Hickey are
building a school house in the Bur
nett. Metsker, Burroughs and An
CELL neighborhood, in the town OF
Clifton. 1t is one of the finest in
the county and a credit to the dis
trict.
We invite the special attention OF
sportsmen to the prizes offered by
the Driving Park Association, at
their Fair to be held here on the
last day of September and the first
and second days of October. The
Association intends to make this
Fair the grandest exhibition that
ever came off in the St. Croix Val
ley. 1t has the best track in the
northwest, with good buildings and
all the necessary accommodations
for a frst-class exhibition.
At the caucus last evening about
70 were in attendance. The issue
seemed to be Warner-antiW Warner
and yet all for Warner, or else it
was West Wisconsin - anti-West
Wisconsin, the latter prevailing,
Messrs. Morse, Powell, Burhyte,
Patterson, Farnsworth, DaYis and
Brown being the delegates elected
Ito the Republican Senatorial
nominating convention).

Fish License Will Bring Much
Money

The law passed by the last legis-
lature requiring nonresident fisher
men to take out a license and pay a
fee of ST will bring close to SIS, 900
into the state treasury of Wiscon-
SIM" was the comment of Game
Warden Little, who was in Owen Sun
day, the guest of M. S. Charlotte,
says the Owen Enterprise. Mr.. Lit
tie guards the Yello w River domain
against fish and game poachers and
he is kept busy in his official capa-
city. He believes the law relating
to nonresident fishermen is a good
one, with the exception that it
should read all non.residents,
including male and female, instead
of all males over 16 years of age.
The new law will work no hardship
to the thousands of sportsmen who
invade the state from Chicago and
the Twin Cities and will be a source
of revenue to Wisconsin.
Mr.. Little expects that the law re-
quiring licenses of non-residents will
keep the game warden crew eXcep-
tionally busy this year, as many
who come from outside Badger
borders will not be acquainted
with the change.
Among the other new wrinkles en-
acted at the last session of the legis-
lature are briefly:
One deer to either resident or non
resident.
No dogs of any kind allowed in
the woods or in or about hunting or
logging camps during entire mouth
of November.
Nonresident males over age of
Is must have license to fish with a
hook and line. Fee 81.
Brook trout do not go by weight.
For each days angling but Is trout
are allowed each person.
Not permissible to fish within 200
feet of any fshway, lock or dam.
Fifteen bass of any variety at any
one time and not less than ten inches
in length.
Pickerel go by measurement; II
in. from tip of mouth to heshy part
of tail. No restriction as to weight.
