GAME LAWS SIMPLIFIED
BY LAST LEGISLATURE
Open Season For Waterfowl in Wis
consin Begins on Sept. z; Lasts
Until Nov. 80.

Madison, Wis, Aug. IA. Some
confusion has resulted throughout the
state in consequence of the many
changes made by the legislature in
the game laws, some fifty three in all,
and particularly in those which
change the law relating to open sea-
son for game birds. Formerly there
was no uniformity in the open season.
but the late legislature undertook to
simplify this and did so.
The open season now for all aquatic
fowl is Sept. Z, and that date also is
fixed for the opening for all shore
birds. wooacock, plover, snipe and
for prairie chicken and grouse.
The open season for aquatic fowl
and shore birds continues until Nov.
30. while for prairie chicken and
grouse it prevails for twenty. three
days only, or until Oct. /. These
regulations are uniform with those
in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The game warden's department re-
ports that prairie chicken and grouse
have increased materially in recent
years, particularly in the central
portion of the state.
Deer. also, are reported plentiful
throughout the northern counties.
Two deputy wardens on a recent scout.
ing on the Flambeau river saw 1853
deer in three days. The counties
where deer most abound are Ashland.
Bayfield,, SAWYER, Rusk. Taylor,
Villas, Chippewa, Douglas, Iron,
Forest, Oneida, Price, Marinette and
Barron.
1t is interesting to note in this con
nection that the records in the game
warden's department. show that for the
season of 1912 there were Killed by
resident hunters 5,726 deer, besides
those consumed by those who killed
them; that is, that number of deer
were killed and shipned bY hunters
living in Wisconsin. The number
killed by non residents was APP
proximately 800.
Owing to the lateness of the
adjournment, the game laws cannot
be compiled and ready for d1stribu-
tion before the middle of September.

ANOTHER TOWN GIVES
ITS AID TO RAILROAD
Mt. Ida Has Subscribed Eighteen
Thousand Dollars
To the Capital Stock of the Chicago
Short Line ennimore and Lima
Will Follow.

The township of Mt. Ida has fallen
in line in support of the Chicago
Short Line electric railway and has
subscribed $18. 900 to its capital stock.
This was done by the petition method.
which requires signatures represent
ing majority Of the taxpayers and
also majority of the taxable
property. The company secured a
very strong majority Of names of
taxpayers and about $3.50, 900 more
than was required in the amount of
property, as shown in the assessment
roll, which is very creditable and
encouraging showing.
The towns of Fennimore and Lima
and the village of Fennimore come
next in order on the list and all are
very friendly to the proposition, so
there is no doubt that they will sub
scribe the amount asked for.
The company. which is entirely
composed of business men and farm
ers of this county, sees much en-
enlargement in the fact that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road company is going to use cleo
trically propelled passenger cars on
its Turkey River branch, directly
across the Mississippi river opposite
this county, and on the main line
south to Savanna, Ill.
When that is accomplished the
people who last year claimed they did
not believe trains could be so operat-
ed will have but short distance to
go and see them in actual operation.
While things may seem to be NOV
ing rather slowly with the Chicago
Short Line, they are moving surely
and in the forward direction. This
county badly needs such a line and it
begins to look much more sure that
we are going to get it.

SOME "REMINISCENCES.
Herman Buchner Recalls Further Incl
dents of Interest

This is a continuation of a letter from
Herman BuChner, published in last weeks
Herald, concerning a camping party held at
Kings Ford near Lancaster about "A years
ago, Editor Herald,
In the south east corner of the
group will be found my son Elmer
Fl. who lives at Crossett, Ark. and
is the superintendent of lumber yards
of the Crossett Lumber Co. His fifty
men handle quarter million feet of
lumber every day. He is in Mil
waukee at present. with his daughter.
Virginia, and will be in Lancaster
within week. I have ascertained
that Allie Cow. before mentioned
lives at Golden, Col, and is en-
ployed as a draughtsman in the U.
s. Geographical surveyors Office at
Denver.
There were others in that camping
party who are not in the group.
Charles LongdoD, the photographer,
and Laura Cover. whom he afterwards
married. Poor Laura was splendid
girl she was raised under my eyes,
until Gods finger touched her. when
she passed away. Charles Longdon
went to Chicago to expand. He lives
there yet.
LATE Kinney who was of a roam
ing disposition, was last heard of
near Burlington, Iowa. The last of
the bunch, Harry Altizer, formerly
in the practice of the law, found a
more agreeable employment and lives
on fruit farm near Hartford, Michi-
gan. [ think l have named all the
campers that twenty four years ago
waited daily for the supply train from
Lancaster. AS five Of the party we're
members of my family l supplied
about twenty per cent of the
campers daily with bread and
meat and other edibles. 1 have not
forgotten that during that time my
grocery bill expanded enormously and
that it kept old Pet humping to
SATISFY their ravenous appetites.
While at the camp one Sunday
observed several rigs loaded with
visitors from Lancaster, coming down
the hill. One of the managers of the
culinary department near me remark
ed in an aggravated tone, Look at
the people coming we are short of
provisions now we will have to feed
them all and there will be nothing
left for breakfast. - 1 may suggest
here for all who intend to visit camp
ers to take along big basket full
of provisions; at least take along
your own grub
The remembrance of this camping
party might have slipped my mind
had it not been that while passing

NEW AUTO LAW
is NOW IN FORCE
Automobile Owners Should Look Up
New Regulations.

Owners of all motor vehicles should
make note of the fact that new auto
law is now in effect throughout the
state. Heretofore cities or villages
could make local ordinances which
were in conflict with one another, to
the great disadvantage of all travellers
on the highways of Wisconsin Many
times drivers of machines have got
themselves into trouble through
ignorance of local regulations, as in
practically every locality the regula-
tions are different. In this way says
an exchange one who was acquainted
with the conditions in his own city
often took it for granted that there was
no change in the city he was visiting
and found too late that he was a tres
passer. Now the chances of getting
into difficulties are reduced and one
who violates the law may not fall
back on the excuse that he was not
acquainted with the local regula-
tions. By studying the uniform
statute one thereby becomes versed in
the law for the whole state.
No change has been made in the
speed limits. Fifteen miles per hour
within the city limits and twenty five
miles outside the city's bounds are
permitted. 1t is contrary to the law,
however, to drive car at greater
rate than eight miles per hour while
passing through a cemetery or park.
or by a school ground where there are
or may be persons on the roadway.
Reckless operating or driving at
greater rate of speed than is deemed
reasonable or proper, the width, traffic
and general use of the road taken into
consideration are deemed inexecusable.
All cities and villages will be pro-
tected from the noise nuisance oc
casioned by cutting out the muffler.
at no time is it permissible to dis
regard this requirement while travel
ing on any street within the corporate
bounds of Wisconsin towns.
Many auto owners will be forced to
invest in new horns and other warn
ing devices. The only kind now
sanctioned is one which produces a
short sound of sufficient strength to
be an adequate warning. Siren horns
and other musical instruments now in
vogue have been tabooed. The only
vehicles which may use the siren and
other screening instruments are fire
and police vehicles.

DEATH OF w. F. MCCARTNEY
A FORMER RESIDENT HERE

News was received last week by

Cartney, at Denver, Col, in his
eighty fourth year. resulting from a
sudden attack of paralysis. He was
planning to observe his Saith ami
versary. which would have occurred
on Sept. Is
Mr.. McCartney's father was
pioneer resident of Grant county and
lived upon a farm a few miles from
Cassville. There were five sons and
three daughters in the family, Of
whom the deceased was the eldest
Most of his early manhood was spent
upon the farm. In 1852 VIM. F.
Mccartney and his brother Orris

where their brother Delos had pre-
coded them.
Being successful in the gold regions
the brothers returned to Grant county
about four years later, and VIM. F.
was for a time located at Platte
Mounds, where he conducted general
store. Later, in company with Mr..
Reinke, he conducted store ON
Front street, Cassville, just north of
the Dennison House. During the war
he was married to Miss Sarah Daniels,
of Michigan, the niece of 9. L. La
grave, another Cassville merchant.
After few short years she died, leaV-
ing one son, Fred, now of Denver.
Four years later he married his late
wife's half sister, Miss Dykeman, of
Michigan, who is now his bereaved
widow in their home at Denver,
where they have resided for forty
years. At intervals they have spent
many months in California, at various
places.
Mr.. Mccartney was an old and
valued friend of the writer, whose
sympathy goes out to the few remain
ing friends of a once large family.
