is estimated that nearly 5000

The deer hunters became such
pest and caused so much terror
among woodsmen in Ontonagon

warning all hunters to keep
away from the lands of the cor

No Call for Garden Ginseng.

The Witteaberg Enterprise is
authority for the following clip
ping; "Oppenheirner, the well
known ginseng buyer, was in the
village Friday picking up what
he could of this root. He was
seeking only the wild root, there
beng no present demand for the
Sardeu-grown roots. Two things
appear to have conspired to
knock the bottom out of the
market for cultivated ginseng
In the first place, too many have
embarked in the business and
nearly every state in the union
now has extensive acreage, pro-
ducIng a supply which is largely
III excess of the demand. In the
second place. the Chinese Cwho
are practically the exclusive
users of this root think that the
cultivated root possesses but lit
tie OF the efficacy of the wild root
While most people cannot detect
difference in the appearance OF
one from the other. Mr. Open
helmer saws that the Chinese can
see the difference at a glance.
Just at present they will not
touch the cultivated root at any
price"

irving to capture a wounded
bear. Last Saturday morning
Knobla and Weisse found the
tracks of monstrous black bear

it's capture seemed easy. The
stalking begun at nine O'Clock
Saturday morning and continued
until dark Sunday night. At
times the men wete within a
few rods Of the bear but could
not get shot owing to the
