ON WISCONSIN
Serving a Great Purpose

(trom The Milwaukee JournaI
The Wisconsin Forestry associa-
ton, organized last winter as a re-
sault of call issued by a score Of
statewide industrial, commercial,
farming and civic associations and
organizations of women, is working
actively and steadily for the adoption
IN Wisconsin of a comprehensive
state forestry policy. 1t seeks to
farming lands located anywhere in
bring about the reforestation of non
Wisconsin. 1t advocates growing
forest products within the state, util-
izing hundreds of thousands of I'M
productive acres and increasing and
making permanent the great wood
using Industries, now rapidly dwin-
ding. It urges adequate protection
of forest lands against fire, change
IN the taxing system that will con-
serve standing timber, and just treat
ment, in the way of taxation, of set
tiers and communities within forest
areas.
Urges Tree Planting
The association also urges the re-
forestation without delay of the
shores of lakes and streams; the ere
alton of village, city and county for
ests and the planting of native trees
| along all state and county trunk
roads.
The association, now working I'M
der temporary organization, will
soon file articles of incorporation and
effect a permanent organization. AL
| ready it has a membership which
includes lovers of nature, lumber
| men, paper makers, manufacturers,
professional men and prominent
women.
Already the foundation has been
laid for broad, constructive state
forestry policy. The legislature took
| the initial step so to amend the
constitution as to empower the state
to acquire and reforest non-farming
lands, Bills to enable the state to
acquire tax title deeds to land suit
able for forestry, to permit towns,
villages and cities to establish memo
rial forests adjacent to their munici-
pal limits, to insure better fire pro
lection and to multiply the growth
of planting stock in the state forestry
nursery for reforesting municipal
and private lands are among the for
estry measures that have been en-
acted.
Plans Legislative Program
| The association is planning a sys-
tematic campaign preparatory to the
Legislative session seventeen months
hence. Henry c. Campbell, assistant
editor of The Journal, is chairman;
+. w. Jones of the Brown Land and
logging Co., Rhinelander, is vice
chairman; George D. Bartlett, Mil
waukee, secretary of the Wisconsin
Bankers association, is treasurer,
and c. L. Harrington, forestry mem
Der of the state conservation com
mission, Madison, is secretary. Any
one of them will be glad to reply to
inquiries regarding the organization
it's purposes and the conditions OF
membership.
State forestry embodies the great
est material onnortl1nitu tba+ Vic
consin possesses outside of industrial
and agricultural development. 1t is
work, moreover, that will benefit the
farmers, increase industrial activity
and do more than anything else to
increase by many millions a year the
! states tourist trade, by reason of
its purposes and achievements the as
ISOLATION merits the support of all
who love Wisconsin and would guard
| her interests.

HUNTING
LICENSE
INFORMATION

To the Printers Of Wood County:
Dear Sirs:-The following is an ex-
tract taken from letter received by
me from the Wisconsin Conservation
Commission regarding the hunting law
which may be of some interest to you,
as news item for your paper:
Deer Tags ard Deer Law
The deer season has been changed
ID cover the ten days from November
13 to November p inclusive. The fee
for the tag viii be 25c instead of 10c
If Ecensee through carelessness
loses his tag or breaks his tag it may
be replaced without charge by his
turning in the old tag. The law has
been changed in that it allows the
shipment of deer up to and including
II o'clock P NJ of November 25th.
Trapping Licenses.
/ The trapping license fee has been
i increasedfrom S1.00 to $3.50, and trap
ping licenses must be purchased by all
persons of the age of sixteen years and
ever. Boys less than sixteen years of
age may be given a permit known as
Boys Trapping Permit" the fee for
which is 25c. You must, however, take
a regular trapping application from
each boy IS he mast make affidavit
that he is less than sixteen years of
age in order to secure the right to trap
for 25c instead of $3.50. The season
on muskrat and mink has been opened
all over the stale. The legislature of
1921 refused to pass law providing
for settlers trapping license or for
a nonresident trapping license. Trap
ping licenses may only be sold to per-
sons who are residents of the state
and have lived here for a period of
not less than one full year.
Hunting Licenses.
Relative to settlers hunting licenses
this is to advise you that the legisla-
ture of 1921 changed the law so that
no person may buy settlers hunting

ed here sixty days may purchase set
tiers hunting license. Settlers IL

Office only, but application blanks are
furnished to county clerks.

be open in February and March 1922
and 1923 only. These licenses may
only be issued by this office, fee re-
mains the same, $500. License fo1
trapping beaver may be sold to resi-
dents of the state only.

Next Tuesday night Foxcroft
academy will play the high school
team here 1t is expected to be a
good game, and it is hoped that
good cheering section will be out.
1t is costing the athletic associ-
alton a great deal to get the Fox
croft academy team here, and this
point should be appreciated by all.
The average attendance for last
week was 96.5 per cent.
1t has been decided that it would
be better to have the practice hour
for the basketball team from to 6
o'clock rather than in the evening.
This was put into effect Monday.
A second basketball team is being
organized from the three lower
classes. This is being done so that
a good team will be assured for
next year. A good crowd of boys
turned out at the hall, showing keen
school sport and enthusiasm.
Friday afternoon an interesting
spelling contest took place in the
main room between two teams, one
being composed of seniors and
freshmen, the other of sophomores
and juniors. The former were the
winners. After the close of the con-
test, another was arranged for in
dividual championship. This re-
suited in tie between two of the
seniors-Alice Haynes and Ethel
Lake. This was followed by cheers
and singing.
The Zip Zip Follies," musical
revue, will be given under the aus
pices of the athletic association next
Friday evening at Hancock hall.
Progress is being made in the ar
rangements, Aehearsals being held
every night tliis week. This will be
an unusual treat to the citizens of
Ellsworth, as a program of this
kind has not been placed before the
public for some time. Students of
the high school are selling tickets
in all sections of the city. The
school would consider it decided
favor on the part Of the citizens to
patronize this entertainment
Our typewriting record has in
creased several points this week,
Osmond Merrill being the winner,
getting fifty-seven words per
minute: Ethel Lake second, with a
record of flfty-two per minute.
Highest average made in short
hand dictation SO far this year is
1876, taken by 40 per cent. of the
class, fifty-six per cent. of the class
being able to take between 1880
words per minute.

The Sullivan-Hancock Bridge.

From here and there about the
county are heard protests against
the building of the Sullivan-Han-
cock bridge, in apprehension of a
great burden to be imposed upon
many towns of the county which
will not be directly benefited by the
new bridge. Much of this objec-
ton is due to the recent publication
of an array of figures showing the
cost to each town in the county on
an estimate of a $35O,OOO bridge
The figures were given publicity by
directors whose aim, apparently,
was to arouse opposition to the
building of the bridge. Some of the
objection comes from towns within
the bridge district.
Objection comes at pretty late
hour: the time for appeal has gone
by. The law passed by the last
legislature was open and above
board; it was given wide publicity
every section of the county was rep
resented in the legislature, and
every objector had opportunity to
be heard. The bill was passed;
the time for referendum petition
has expired. 1t is futile for OBJ
jectors now to spring up and say
they didn't have chance to be
heard.
Now as to the actual burden that
will be placed upon the towns OF
the county. The law provides that
the State shall pay SO per cent. of
the cost of the bridge, the county
80 per cent. and the Ave towns OF
the bridge district 20 per cent. in
addition to their proportional part
of the county's 80 per cent.
An early estimate as to the cost
of the bridge placed it at $350,OOO
This was made when materials
were at top price, and later esti-
mates are nearer 100000. But as
Stunning that $350,000 will be the
cost, following are the DIRECTORS
figures of the approximate cost to
each town outside the bridge dis
trict, based on present valuation:
