Will ORGANIZE A
ROD And GUN Gun
CITY TO HAVE ORGANIZATION
FOR FISH AND GAME PRO-
lection
WILL MEET ON WEDNESDAY
CASTING AND SHOOTING CLUBS
TO BE FEATURE OF NEW
CLUB PLAN :
A Rod and Gun Club is now in the
process of organization in Sank Gen.

A Rod and Gun Club is now in the
process of organization in Sank Cen
tire.
The first meeting of this proposed
organization will be held at the Com
mercial Club room next Wednesday
evening when the work of organiza-
ton will be completed and officers
elected.
1t is the ambition of those promot-
ing this organization to make the
Rod and Gun Club one of the popular
organizations of the city and its
membership is open to everybody
who are interested in the welfare of
Sank Centre and it's natural resour-
ces.
The principal work laid out for the
club is the restocking of Sank Lake
and all lakes and waterways in the
immediate vicinity, with fish fry. The
promotion of good fishing and the
protection of game fish such as the
conditions require. They will also
make an effort to improve hunting
conditions in this locality, especially
duck hunting, by the planting of wild
rice and celery-feed which is much
sought by all water fowl.
Another plan Of the promoters >of
the club is cooperation with the
Minnesota Game Protective League
so as to preserve as much as possible
the excellent fishing qualities of Sank
Lake. Through this league they hope
to bring to this locality a large num-
Der Of quail and pheasants, which as
time goes on, will improve the hunt
ing conditions here.
Persons interested in the organiza-
ton of the club feel that it's purpose
is of real Importance to Sank Centre.
With the hosts of summer fishermen
coming into the city every summer
the situation here must be given at
tention or in few years all of the
game fish will be run out of the lake.
Later on, as the club progresses, a
club house is planned and there will
be annual picnics each year at which
the casting club and the gun club con-
nected with the organization, will
give exhibitions, prizes for which will
be offered by the club.
The trap shooting and casting clubs
will be Independent Of the main org
anization.
The promoters of the club are anx-
ious to have it understood that mem
bership in this club is open to ever
body interested in this work and they
want everybody who can do SO, to be
present at the meeting Monday night.
