PLEDGE MONEY
FOR STATE PARK
Proposed Northern Lakes Park
May Be Realized Through
Subscriptions

Wisconsin may yet be able to own
the ten thousand acres Of virgin hard
wood timber located within the bound
ary of the proposed Northern Lakes
Park despite the veto of the bill
passed by the last legislature which
authorized its purchase by funds to
be raised by surtaX on incomes over
three thousand dollars.
A temporary organization is being
perfected in Price and Sawyer coun-
ties where the proposed park is To-
Gated, with Judge Asa Owens Of Phil
lips as chairman, with this end in
view and approximately 100000 of
Of the property have been pledged.
One cOterie Of interested residents of
st. Louis. Mo, who have visited the
park for many seasons pledge to raise
100000 and Milwaukee residents are
being sounded with a view of like
contribution.
The proposed park has about ten
thousand acres of hardwood timber
and some two thousand acres of lakes
within its borders. Near its westward
boundary the north fork Of the Flam-
beau river runs for nine miles through
the park and with Connors, Lake OF
the Pines Lonon. Round, Mason and
Long Lakes within its limits, with the
setting of white pine, birch, hard ma
ple all virgin timber it will be a most
valuable asset to the states parks.
The tentative plan is to raise
sufficient fund by individual contri-
button to assure its success and then
offer the park to the state, through
the conservation commission. This
commission could then complete the
plans for the survey, valuation and
purchase of the land and assume COLI
troll of the project from the start and
il could be formally accepted by the
next legislatures Capitol Times, Mad
