part of the state, has been notified
that the pope has named him to the

is only the second time this honor has

Continued support is being met for
throughout the state by Conservation
Commissioner w. e. Barber, while
sportsmen are also backing almost
unanimously the plan for closed sea-
son on mink and muskrat. Gatherings
have been held now in considerably
more than half of the counties of the
state, all but three or four of which
must be given a chance to express
themselves. There are a few which
failed to file petitions for hearings
There is practically no doubt now that
the season is to be closed this fall to
mink and muskrats, and that deer

from the war department, officers have
been rushed out from the adjutant
generals office to various parts of the
state to prepare numerous companies

On July 20, the state conservation
commission will hold meeting in
Rhinelander for the purpose of learn
ing the sentiment of Oneida county
sportsmen regarding proposed changes
in the Wisconsin game laws. One Of
the important matters to be discussed
will be a closed season for deer. Many
