All the deputy wardens Of the lower
peninsula will meet at Lansing Feb
ruary IS. Speaking of this work State
Game Warden w. r. Oates says: RE
Gently | have visited several sections
of the state comforting with sportsmen
and getting their ideas in reference to
the propagation and distribution of
game in suitable covers of the state
under proper auspices, While | think
we have a good patrol force in the de-
partment and our work along this line
last year was resultful, yet in my opin-
ion 1t is essential that something be
done to restock our depleted covers
and it is important that we secure the
cooperation of sportsmen's associa-
tions and sportsmen generally, with
the department in progagating and
distributing game.
"One of the biggest sportsmen's
clubs in the western part Of the state
informs me that they have obtained
possession of a large tract OF land
suitable for the propagation of quail
and other birds, that they expect to
dedicate such lands to the state I'M
de rthe refuge act, place some one in
charge to keep out the vermin and
other destructive agencies, and under
the law the department has agreed
to post such refuge and protect the
game for a certain number of years.
Several private land owners dedi-
Gated some Of their holdings to the
state as game refugees under the act
passed by the last legislature. We
also propose to set aside certain state
lands suitable for game covers and
stock them with game purchased by
the state. Our experiments along this
line will be confined for the time be-
ing 10 native birds of Michigan such
as grouse, quail prairie chickens. etc.
There Is no question in my mind but
that prairie chickens are increasing
in Michigan, as deputies are reporting
numerous fiocks in the extreme south
ern part OF the state particularly in
Livingston county and adjoining terri
tory. and 7 have personally observed
many fiocks of these birds in the up
per peninsula, in Iron and Dickinson

Lightning Cures an
Attack of Rheumatism

Muskegon, Mich.-That he
was cured of an attack OF rheu-
matism by the shock of bolt
OF lightning which struck close
to him is the statement of Geo.
Partlow, of Shelby. Partlow re-
counts his thrilling experience
as the turning point in an i'll
ness which his physicians ex-
pected would in a short time
prove fatal.
Previous 20 his narrow es-
cape from death by lightning
Partlow was crippled badly with
rheumatism. He had but a short
time before suffered from
paralytic stroke, from the weak
ening effects OF which he had
not as yet recovered. Since his
narrow escape he has been
steadily gaining and appears to
have recovered entirely from
both the rheumatism and para
lytic stroke.
