TOURISTS BRING
STATE S5,000,0OO
Estimate Made by Conservation
Commission in Report.
$1,000 N0N-RESIDENTS HUNT
Huge Quantity of Game Fish is
Taken Out of Wisconsin Lakes
and Rivers in Course Of
Summer Season.

Madison.-How much dos summer
tourists bring into northern Wisconsin
during the months of June, July and
August?
The conservation commission has
undertaken to answer this question
and in the annual report, just issued.
conservatively estimates the sum ut
$5.0O0,000.
There were 1900 nonresident
hunting licenses issued by the state
during the past year. Il is estimated
that only third of the recreationists
took out fishing licenses. Ii is further
estimated that each tourist spends $50
in the state, not including railroad
fare. And, of course, this does not
include residents who go north for the
season.
The commission also estimates that
3.450,000 pounds of game fish were
taken out of Wisconsin lakes and riv-
ers during the past summer. About
100000 pounds of fish were shipped
out of the state through Milwaukee
last summer. About 100000 pounds
is accounted for by local consumption.
The $1,000 nonresident anglers are al
lowed 20 per season. The value of
this fish, commercially. would be
around 100000.
From the little village Is Woodruff,
Oneida county, S65 boxes OF pike,
pickerel. bass and muskellunge were
taken in ten weeks this past summer.
II is for this reason that the com
mission is asking for more stringent
fishing laws and an increase in the
nonresident license fee. bill will
be introduced in the coming session Of
the legislature calling for a license of
81 for every resident trout fisherman
and a 81 fee for a nonresident fishing
license. An effort will be made to in
crease the deer license from S25 TO
$50 for a nonresident hunter and to
require a six-inch prong on all buck
deer killed.
