GO NORTH IN SUMMER
Influx of Summer People to
The Big Woods Country of
North Wisconsin Due to
Good Roads, Good Climate
and Beautiful Scenery.

People want to go north in the
summer-and this means all the
people. Some cannot go, but
vast numbers can, and the cues
ton arises as to how MANY OF
these can be induced to come to
Wisconsin with its thousands OF
charming lakes and innumerable
beauty spots. And why should
we take an interest in this?
1t has been stated upon high au-
thorlty that the income of the
state of Maine from tourists and
summer people has reached the
high figure of $50, 700, 900 annu-
ally. Yet the state of Maine has
no better attractions, no better
territory to draw from and no
more competition than Wisconsin
What does $3O,O0O,OOO annu-
ally mean? How much of it is
profit? Undergraduates upon
the part of the bene6ciaries does
the profit on $3O,OOO,OOO of pa
tronage warrant? These are
questions that it would be well
for any state with as good at
fractions as Maine and an equal
ly good chance of getting the
business to consider.
But before wecan get that por-
tion-and it is large portion
that would come by automobile
we must have good roads and
let the public know it. The Wis
consin Advancement association
is urging the completion of good
roads leading through the lake
regions of the state, and in this
connection urges the Importance
of the summering and automo-
bile tourist business that it is
sure to come and that will come
i'll rapidity and volume some
what according to how much
and how fast we deserve it.
We need not talk of exact fig
ures-$3O, 100000 is a lot-any
major fraction of that amount is
lot. Besides, that is a sufficient
point, we need the roads any
how.

Project to Cost $4,000.

Harry Aldrich was uplast Sat
urday from Three Lakes on a
business trip. In speaking Of the
project of draining 5000 acres Of
marsh west of Three Lakes by
Clark Kinney and numerous other
parties interested, it will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to
dig the big bitches to drain both
into the upper Eagle chain on
the east and the Wisconsin river
on the west. In the draining OF
this marsh it will open up a val
liable strip o., farming land. The
soil is muck and peat and runs
from eighteen inches to four feet
in depth. Soil experts who have
given it a thorough examination
say it is very valuable for farm
ing.

coart failed to visit regularly one
of his wolf traps this spring and
lost out on the bounty. When,
after several weeks of exceeding
ly warm weather he did examine
the trap, he found a decomposed
carcass of a timber wolf anchored
tight. But the scalp, the neces-
sary evidence to secure the forty
simoleons from Villas county and
the state, had ripened to such an
extent that SHINING it off was
absolutely out of the question.

SHIPMENT OF GAME FISH
Changes Made Which Might
Well Be Studied by the
Shipper---Resident is Up
Against 1t.

Following are extracts from
laws recently enacted BY the
legislature regulating the ship
ment OF game fish in and out oil
the state.
Section 1882 reads: III
marked as provided by law, one
package and no more, containing
not more than twenty pounds Of
hsh, may be transported to any
point within this state by any
person, providing that not more
than one shipment shall be made
during any seven days bv the
same person.
Deputy Game Warden Ober-
hotter is authority that one
must interpret the above section
to mea n that no resident may
ship t1sh IN any manner outside
the state. However, he has
written the attorney general for
an opinion.
Section 1892 also says: "Anv
person holding a nonresident
license may transport not to ex-
coed twenty pounds without ac-
companylng same, provided that
not more than one such ship
ment shall he made during any
seven DAYS by the same person. )"
Regarding the manner of ship
ment it says: 1T is hereby re-
CURED that any and all packages
containing fish or game shall be
labeled in plain letters on the ad-
dress side of the package SO as to
disclose the name and address of
the shipper and the name and
address of the person to whom
shipped, the number of pounds
of each fish, and the OWNER OF
SUCH SHIPMENT shall give sign
ed statement IN PERSON IN PRES
ENcE OF the receiving agent or
common carrier stating that he
or she is the person or consignor
of said shipment"

WANT TOWN SET OFF
Residents of Flambeau Ask
to Have Town of Spider
Lake Formed-Bill Killed
in Legislature.

The legislature has killed the
bill creating the town of Spider
Lakefrom the town ofFlambeau,
the same having been put before
that body several weeks ago.
The reason advanced for the
creating ofSpider Lake was that,
owing to the Indians in the
Flambeau reservation not being
taxpayers but who had the
rights of voting, that it worked
hardships upon the taxPaylng
resident of the town OF Fiam-
beau.
It is understood the matter
will be brought before the coun-
tv board at an early meeting.
