CATCHING RATS
ON THE BARABOO

Muskrats this year are numerous
and easily caught On Saturday morn
ing a Baraboo trapper took 10 from
his traps above the city and on Sun
day morning harvested p more. He
had nearly fifty traps set in the water,
the territory covered being to beyond
Kirkwood: Traps are set where rats
feed or where they slide Into the wa
ter. Rats like to getSnpon the bank
and one after another slip down
steep bank into the water-just like
lot Of children would DO; Traps cam
not be set within ten feet of where
they go into their homes In the bank
or house, so It IS for the rat to say
whether or not he is to be caught:
Caught on a log
In one case trap was set on a log
in the middle Of the stream with the
expectation that Mr. Rat would crawl
upon the log, to rest when crossing.
Sure enough he did and the chance he
took, was fatal. ..-. AL,
In another case a trap was set and
the water rose. When Mr.. Rat reached
the shore his feet went over the dan
ger zone, but his tail must have been,
swinging low, for the extremity
sprang the trap and he was fast. The
trapper found he committed suicide
for he was lifeless in the bottom of the
stream, his tail still being in the trap.
About half of the rats are dead
when the trapper comes along, the
other half to be killed. They show
fight but soon are dispatched. Some
times they freeze and occasionally one
gets away with his impeachment. al
Thieves with two legs sometimes
find trap and carry it away.
Food For Carp
A trapper will skin a rat while the
man rowing the boat takes few
strokes of the oar:@ A knife opens the
skin at the legs and the hide is peeled
off, leaving the fur on the inside. The
bodies of the rats are thrown into the
stream, sink quickly to the bottom
and make fine food for carp and other
fish
The price for the season has not
been fixed, but G. A Briggs thinks it
will be a little less than fifty cents,
all depending on the size and quality.

Phillip ASKS
PR|V|Lt 10
PICK SENATOR
IA

~ propose to- call special session
Of the legislature in the near future
for such legislation as is necessary
to meet the war emergencies, and |
shall include a recommendation in
the call asking for authority to fill the
vacancy that now exists in the office
of United States senator by appoint
ment."
The foregoing statement was. issued
by Governor e. l.. Philip on Tuesday
with respect to the vacancy caused by
the death of the late United States
Senator Paul o. Husting.
Governor Philip makes it clear
that he will serve out his term as gov
ernor and that he is not candidate
for the senate.
Would Avoid Election
He declared that in asking appoint
i've power he does not seek the. ad-
yancement of any friend; that he
would select the strongest man IN the
state whom he could induce to take
the office. He said that the man to
fill the place of Senator Husting must
stand with the national government,
and that he would not consider par
tisan politician.
The governor does not feel that a
special election at this time would be
in the best interests Of the people.
He believes it would merely serve as
an excuse for pacifsts and anti-war
propagandists' "to fill our state with
their literature and their advocates
.-. Plans National Aid
He believes this would break down
the spirit of cooperation on the part
of the people with the national gov
eminent, (which is absolutely neces-
sary at this time and which the exec
utive power of this state must insist
upon"
If the legislature gives Governor
Philip appointive power, the man
named to succeed Senator Hustlng
would fill the vacancy until the regu-
lar election in 1918.
