erS' Association.

Hunters and fishers in Wisconsin
are uniting to organize the Wiscon-
sim Hunters and Fishers Association

state wide in scope, will stand for a
revision of the present game and
61sh laws. The revision will be made
with a view 10 giving the actual hun
5ers and fishers of the state a voice
in framing the laws governing the
shooting of game and the catching
of fish
"a square deal for square hunters
and fishers will be the slogan. No
measure will be advocated that win

the state, but such revision will be
asked as will give Wisconsin hunters

are held by those in neighborimg
states and at the same time protect
game and game fish.
1t is felt that with a united. front
and an organization perfected the hun
ters and Fishers of the state can
secure such revision as is both emf
nently fair and for the best interests

in view, the first steps have been
taken toward forming the state or

be but 25 cents per member. County
dues may be placed at such figure
as local conditions warrant. Milwau-
kee county placed dues at so cents
per year and then voted to turn the
entire amount in to the state asso-
ciation
1t is planned to cali a state meet
ing, with delegates present from e.
very Wisconsin county organization,
for date not later than August 20.
This means prompt work in every

AUTUMN IN THE VALLEY.

The following epic from the
Blanca Record makes it hard for
one to come down to the fact
that the San Luis valley only
claims to be one of the finest
irrigated valleys in the world
and perhaps the only one of note
that has virgin soil owned by
spectators and never touched
with plow.
This is the season of delight
full climate in the inter-mountain
country. 1t is free of the winds
that prevail in the early months
of spring, the rains of July and
August are past and through
out the day and night time eli
matte conditions are completely
perfect and smiling nature is in
its gentlest mood. There is a
touch of departing summer in the
air and with it a tinge of ap-
preaching winter.
1t is the famous Indian summer
weather that is so welcome in all
parts of the country, but here in
the mountain-walled San Luis
valley it reaches full perfection.
In the valley there is the odor
of harvested crops. On the noun
tain sides the quakenasps are tax
ing on the autumnal garb
of browns, while on the mountain
heights around the valley the
lofty peaks are being clothed in
ermine mantle.
In the mountains there is au
early morning crispness that is
driving the wild animals from the
higher feed ranges into the foot.
hills and to the open plain where
they will Craze during the winter
season.
Other lands are famed for eli
matte conditions and grandeur OF
scenic environs, but no other lane
can excel in either the magnifi-
cent San Luis valley. 1t is well
worth the travelling of many
miles to breath the invigorating
air of this country at sunrise and
to witness the fleeting panorama
of light and shade as the dawn
brightens the snow crowned
peaks, driving the night shadows
lower, tinting with mellow warmtl
the verdure on the sloping sides
and finally flooding the whole
great valley in deluge of beaut.
that no pen can describe nor
brush portray.
The San Luis valley is a good
land at all seasons of the year
but in the Indian summer time
one must acknowledge its unusua
grandeur and marvel at the
goodness of the Great Master WHIT
made the world SO well.
