The famous Con 7. Kennedy
Shows with their multitude of al
fractions and their $4,000 worth
of riding devices will be in Hurley
for one week starting August 2.
They will show here under the aus
pices of the baseball association.
The Kennedy shows are different
in many ways from other similar
attractions that have appeared IN
our city. The greatest aud most
notable fearture of these shows is
the courteous and gentlemanly
treatment one receives from the
employees of the shows. Mr.. Con
7. Kennedy, the general and sole
owner of the shows that bear his
name, is in evidence everywhere
aud he certainly leaves nothing
undone for the welfare of the pat
rons of his shows.
The list of shows and attractions
is of such varied nature that no
matter what your tastes may be for
amusement or fun you are sure to
find something to your liking

HURLEY SPORTSMEN
FAVOR ONE BUCK LAW
w. L. Barber of the Conservation
Commission Presided at Hearing
Saturday Evening.

Hurley sportsmen voted uuani-
mously i'll favor of one buck law
at the hearing conducted by the
state conservation commission at
the court house last Saturday even
ing They also went on record as
favoring a closed season on musk
rats and mink.
The hearing was conducted bv
w l.. Barber, head of the state
conservation commission, who pre-
scented interesting information
on game, fish and fur bearing ami
mails in Wisconsin. He declared
that the commission favored tie
buck law for the reason that it felt
that the time was here when string
ent efforts must be made to prevent
the determination of the deer. He
cited examples taken from records
in other states where deer have in
creased under the operation of the
buck law, notably Vermont, where
deer were exterminated forty-four
years ago The state of Vermont
then secured a number of deer,
turned them loose and a closed sea
son remained in force for twenty
years, The season was then open
ed but under the one buck law, and
it was found that the deer had in
creased SO that there were again
thousands in the state. Mr.. Barber
declared that he considered that the
results of the buck law in Vermont
is conclusive proof that it is the
only way to protect the deer.
Mr.. Barber presented figures
showing that the number of fur
bearing animals trapped in Wiscon-
sin is decreasing annually, contend
ing that it is sufficient proof that
something must be done to prevent
the determination of the animals.
He also said that the protection of
muskrats is necessary because these
animals help to preserve the game
fish in the state by keeping the
lakes open in the winter so that the
fish therein are able to get air.
He said he knew of three lakes in
the northern part of the state in
which the fish all died during the
winter because of the extermina-
tion of the mushrats. The ami
mails build their houses and keep
holes in the ice open during the
winter and in this way the fish get
air.
Mr.. Barber explained the reason
for the bass season opening the
first of July instead of the first OF
| June, which has been the cause OF
many complaints. He said the
bass spawn in June and during that
time must be protected, rs the
male and female remain with the
eggs until they are hatched, and il
is necessary to depend upon nature
to keep up the supply of bass as
they cannot be propagated like
other game fish found in our lakes
