SWAN LAKE WIDELY KNOWN
New York Newspaper Has Article
Regarding Duck Resort

nS4aToiuH LUCK nCSorS
Swan Lake In Nicollet county a
bout twenty miles north of Mankato
containing $4,000 acres of the best
water fowl breeding space in the
northwest, is becoming nationally
known. On August 81 the New
York Times published an article
which had been submitted to that
paper by the officers OF the United
States biological survey calling at
tention to the fightl being put up by
conservtionists in an effort to save
the lake for the public.
1t is understood that the petition
ers for the lowering of Swan Lake
despite that their petition has been
turned down by both the county
board of Nicollet county and Judge
A. G. Gislason OF the district court
Of that county, will carry. the case
to the supreme court.
Those opposed to the drainage of
the lake, and In favor of conserva-
tion of the natural resources of
Minnesota will fight the case of the
last ditch. 1t will take money to do
this, and for that reason subscript-
ions are being asked from those who
believe in the conservation of MINI
esota's lakes for future generations.
Donations of from so cents to a
dollar would help the cause. Those
fighting the lowering of the lake
lack $4,000 and this will have to be
raised in order to properly fight
the case in the supreme court.
County Auditor c. L. Kennedy has
kindly asked to solicit subscriptions
for this fund from sportmen making
application for small game licenses.
1t is though that in iris way a con-
siderable sum can be raised to aid
in the fight for the preservation of
Swan Lake.
