A QUIET TRICK OF
THE LEGISLATURE
That is What the Des Moines Trib-
une Says Of the Law Permitting
Leasing Lake Beds.

Des Moines Tribune: A quiet
trick of the last legislature. done un.
der cover of the closing rush, prob
ably will put to naught all the years
of. struggle by large proportion
Of the sportsmen of the state to. pre-
vent the draining of Wall lake. In
southern Wright county.
On April 8, but two Or three day.
before adjournment. An natIersass.
little measure Was Introduced by the
Judiciary committee. It was rushed
to passage. and was approved by the
governor; on April Is. AS result
of the passage of the measure, Wall
lake now is private property. 1t be-
longs. under lease, to Fred Austin.
said to be sDn-in-law Of w. c.
Brown OF Clarion, state treasurer,
and member of the executive coun-
Gil, which executed the lease.
Wright county sportsmen, inter
ested in the preservation of the lake,
were in conference with State Game
Warden E. c.. Hinshaw at Bows sew
eral days ago, when the news of the
leasing OF the lake leaked out.
Sportsmen who have heard Of the
trick are wrought up over the posi-
bility that the resort may have to
go.
The little measure that did the
trick is an amendment to the section
of the code relating to the power OF
the executive council in the selling
or leasing of state lands. It pro-
vides that any land owned by the
state within the highwater lines Of
any nonnavigable stream or lake,
and also any lands within the bed
of any lake bed. authorized to be
drained under the provisions of the
chapter amended, may be leased by
the executive council, in its discre-
ton until otherwise disposed OF, the
rental to be paid into the general
funds of the state.
The matter of the drainage OF
Wall lake has been agitated widely
for several years. and the battle be-
tween the sportsmen and those who
desired draining has been at times
so bitter that the question really has
become of statewide Importance. AS
a hunting and pleasure resort the
lake shore now contains improve
ments estimated to be worth $780,
600. The bed OF the lake is charac-
terized as being about LOO acres
Of gravel and peat.
Under the terms of the little law,
the executive council was empower
ed to lease the land to Mr.. Austin.
and Mr.. Austin may do as he pieases
with the lake bed. so long as ne
pays rent to the state. 1t is believ-
ed that moneyed men in wright
county are behind the move.

Last year the seth regiment

camp in that city was fine one
the scenery around the Falls being
very beautiful. However, Storm

In order that the company may
receive pay during camp, they have
to have forty men in attendance.
Many Of the business places, factor
les, ETC., employ these soldiers who
are compelled to go to camp and
there are some business men inclin-
ed to think that it is not compulsory
for the men In their employ to at
tend the camp and resent their go
Ing. Some have gone so far as to
say their positions would not be
open to them upon their return
from camp. This hardly seems fair,
as everybody ought to be entitled to
q vacation during the summer, and
the annual camp is just that for the
soldier boys. All towns of any Inn
portance have company Of militia
and It is considered good thing for
the town. The men receive but
$1.25 per day during their stay in
camp. while the most OF them earn
from 50 to 50 per day at their. work.
This shows that few men would
leave their work II it were not COM
pulsory. The Closz-Howard sieve
factory employs some fifteen or
twenty men who are members of the
company and all expect to go. The
manager of this factory looks at
this problem in the right way and
when It comes time for camp, he
cheerfully let's his men attend, know
ing that IL is the right and proper
thing to do.

looked upon as a poor one. 1t has
been considered as a beginners mis-
take. But the visitors have won from
strong competition in practice match
es with their method, and the last
week has been used by the American
team to prepare for meeting the for
nation in the international matches.
Maurice e. Mclaughlin, national
champion of the United States, is of
the opinion that the Australian sim
giles tactics will differ radically from
those usually encountered, and has
been putting himself through a special
course of training in order to avoid be-
ing caught u~nprepared. He has been
holding a position close to the base
line in all his practice matches. figur-
ing that the A~ustralasians will drive
him back to the rear Of the court and
that he will have to beat them at
their own game.
r. Norris Williams. the young Har-
ward crack, is causing the United
States tennis authorities the mos.
concern because he has recently re-
covered from a slight illness which
has taken the edge off his game. It is
expected that he will be in trim for
the competition with the visitors.

PREXY BURMEISTER
fines four MEN ON
MINNEAPOLIS CREW

Robert unglaub, manager and cap
tain of the Minneapolis Northern
league team. Ralph Comstock, one Of
the teams star pitchers. Catcher AL
len and Pitcher Sherrin We're fined for
b~urlesquing a ball game in Superior
last Monday. President Burmeister
took prompt and decisive action when
he learned of the actions of the base
ball players. Unglaub was assessed
$25 and it will cost Comstock the
same amount for his facetious efforts,
Allen was fined $40 and Sherrin SIS.
In this game Superior gave the Wis
itors a severe beating. the score being
II to 4. When some Of the Minneap-
oils players found that there was lit
tie likelihood of their winning. they
began hippodroming. They will have
time to think over the matter after
the payment Of the fine levied by the
president of the league.
By this Mr.. Burmeister has shown
that he is an executive not afraid to
act and also that he will have disci-
pline in the league. Fans have little
use for a team that does not try to win
all the time, and hat is apparently
what Minneapolis did not do in the
contest of last Monday.

Mauc.ee MZsxs6Aa.

With only a few days of practice re-
naming for the first international en-
gagement of the American tennis team
the American quartet of players looks
good enough to win from the Austrai-
asian team. r. Norris Williams, Maui
rice E. Mclaughlin, Raymond d. LIZ
tie and Harold H. Hackett are the
four American experts selected to
take on the team from Australia. The
tournament will begin June 6.
If original plans are carried out
Williams and Mclaughlin will play in
the singles and Hackett and Little will
team up against the visitors in the
doubles. There is a chance that this
alignment will be changed on the eve
of the matches, but Robert d. Wrenn.
president of the United States Lawn
Tennis association, is of the opinion
that the original lineup will be retain-
ed. That the Australasian team may
spring a new wrinkle in tennis tactics
is the opinions Of critics who have
watched the visitors in practice. In the
doubles they have been trying out a
novel formation, playing one man up
near the net and his mate back near
the base-line. In this country and
Europe this alignment has long been
