IN FISH LAW
Conservation Commission and
Law Makers at Madison
Busy With Additions.

The only Badgers who have
any kick coming because of the
war being ended are the follow
ers of Ike Walton in the piscator-
ial game. Wisconsin fishermen
this year cannot wet their lines,
except for trout, until May Goth.
The wartime game law, May /,
is no longer IN effect. Limited
catches to ten pounds a day for
each fisherman as originally
passed applied only to the 1917
season. The conservation COM
mission was given authority to
continue the provision in 1918
or as long as necessary. The per-
iod of necessity has passed, de-
clared w. E. Barber of the com
mission, which has no power to
extend the privilege this year.
The trout season opens May lst
and closes August 80. Many
sportsmen, said Mr.. Barber, are
under the impression that the
trout season opened this year on
April Is. This is not the case,
although a bill ponds in the legis-
lature fixing the opening date at
that time. The regular fishing
season, except for large and
small mouth black bass, will ex-
tend from May.29 to March 1st,
1920. The season for these two
game fish opens June Is. Special
provisions are made to cover
conditions in a few separate To-
calities. The Rock river, Lake
Winnebago, Wolf river and Fox
river have no closed season ex-
cept on large and small mouth
black bass. In d few localities
oswego, green and yellow bass,
a species of black bass, are al
lowed to be taken Nav Goth.
The open season in the MISSISSIPPI
pi river begins May 1, except for
black bass, when the season
stands at June Is.

DEER COMMIT SUICIDE
Two Fatalities in the Deer
Tribe Result From Animals
Dumping Into Wire Fence.

Suppose that if the conserva-
tiou commission gets wise to the
| fact that wire fences are playing
havoc with the deer in northern
Wisconsin, they willimmediately
proceed to pinch every guy who
owns a fence within this deer
hunted section-and that would
not surprise us in the least, for
the law makers have been very
erratic i'll its game and fish laws
the past few years.
Seems as though everything
has gone blooey as regards the
intelligent following OF the game
and fish laws, laws that the
average fellow uses every other
day-and makes some fool error
that lands him in trouble. Now
this isn't to be construed to
mean that violators are chosen
sons Of man. Not at all. Punish
the guy who wilfullv pulls the
rough stuff, but ease up on the
fellow who does his best to do
the thing according to Hoyle,
but doesn't.
But this hasn't anything to do
with the story of how two deer
committed suicide last week. On
Saturday a mature deer ran
headlong into a woven wire
fence at Bent's resort on lake
Mamie, and but a few rods dis
from the buildings. injuring her
self so badly she had to be shot.
The next day another deer tried
the same stunt with a wire fence
on the Gaffney farm near Green
wood Ranch and broke her back
in the attempt. She also had to
be killed.

BUYS THE HILES MILLS
Chas. w. Fish Now the Larg-
est Mill Owner in Wiscon-

One of the largest deals in mill
property and timber holdings
that has been consummated in
this territory for some time was
closed last week when Chas. w.
Fish Lumber company purchased
the entire holdings of the Pores
ter-Mueller company of Hiles,
Wis, says the Amigo Journal,
The amount of money involved
was not made public, but the
deal includes the mill property
at Hiles, which has capacity of
2O,0OO,0OO feet a year, houses
which are occupied by the en-
ployes of the mill, and the store,
10000 acres of timber land and
some Is miles of logging railway.
The timber tributary to this
mill is estimated at 30C,OOO.OOO
feet, which insures a cut of a
number of years. BY the pur-
chase of this property, which he
has already taken over Mr.. Fish
becomes the largest individual
operator in the country, he being
the sole owner of the company.
With the addition of this mill he
now operates four mills, which
will have an annual capacity Of
6O,OOO,OO0 feet, the other MILLS
being located at Elcho. Amigo
and Birnamwood.

THREE TIMES A WEEK
Sayner-Star Lake to Have
Three Trains Instead of
But One.

After having enjoyed (?) a one
trains week schedule for the
past winter, the citizens of Arbor
Vitae. Sayner and Star Lake will
not know how to act when the
new schedule of regular runs go
into effect May 1st on the St.
Paul branch running through
these villages.
Beginning May 1st three trains
a week-Tuesday, Thursday and
Satu rdav-will be allotted the
three villages. And the trains
will make direct connections with
the regular st. Paul trains, so
that passengers to these points
from the main line will not have
to miss their connections at
Minocqua, and wait a week.
Their limited or fish run service,
it is said, will be put on the first
of June and it is expected to run
daily. Boulder Junction and
Trout Lake stations will have
regular trains on Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays.
Patrons on the Monico- Waters
meet branch are in tough luck.
We will have to be contented
with three fish run" trains a
week-Saturday, Sunday and
Wednesday-and they will be put
on the first week in June for the
season. The first train on the
extra schedule for the opening of
the fishing season, will arrive up
the line on May 30th. Wonder
how the resort owners on the
Northwestern branch will like
the three-train,a-w week schedule.
Remember there will be no daily
service of the limited this season.
Good night.

STOCKHOLDERS MEET
Creamery Men Are Holding
Annual Meeting Today at
Court House-In Flourish
ing Condition.

Stockholders of the Eagle Riv-
er Cooperative Creamery are
holding their annual meeting at
the court house today. There is
a good attendance and great in
terest being shown in thereports
by Manager W. Herreman. A
down state creamery and dairy
expert is here at the meeting in
the capacity of speaker.
The local creamery is in very
hourishing condition and has a
good balance upon the right side
of the ledger for the past years
work. Prior to Mr.. Herreman's
management the creamery was
far from paying investment.
Eagle River creamery products
now have high standard with
the products from other cream
cries and sell readily in the best
markets. The creamery is one of
Villas county's best assets and is
growing each year in production
and quality.

therefore, why we should vigorously
prosecute a campaign for new peo-

offered magnificent opportunity for
capital to provide these people with
accommodations. Houses may readily
be rented as soon as the plans are
drawn. Scores of small, neat bum
galows would be eagerly taken for
the season by winter visitors. One or
more large apartment houses would
afford exceptionally attractive invest

LAKELAND'S GREATEST NEED

In the very heart of summer, when
the city's population is at its lowest
ebb, there is not a house, for rent
and it is difficult to provide even
temporary quarters for new people
who are constantly coming in. In
several instances the latter pur-
chased property after being in the
city only few days, being unable to
rent, and also being satisfied even in
so brief a stay that this is the town
they desired to live in.
In the face of this condition, the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Is
engaged in work that will bring in
a flood of winter visitors next season,
to say nothing of the homeseekers
who will come expecting to cast
their lot here permanently. AT first
glance this would appear a needles.

ADVERTISING FLORIDA

: Jacksonville Times Union: 1t is of.
ficiaily stated that the United States
railroad administration is planning to
spend some thousands of dollars dur
ing the next few months advertising
Florida as a winter resort, and ev-
erybody in the state is no doubt
pleased over the announcement
Florida needs more people, aud the
way to get them for citizens and resi-
dents is to have them come and spend
a time here looking around. The rail-
road advertising will reach sections
where possibly little is known OF
Floridas attractions and POSSIBLE
ties, and must do great amount o.
good. But this is not the only
force at work for the exploitation OF
this wonderful state, not only as a |
winter resort, but as summer re-
sort, and place to live. The Clyde
