WISCONSIN SENATOR TO
BACK WINNISHIEK FIGHT

MADISON-Senator Irvine l.. Len
root, of Wisconsin, is going to put
forth his best effort to preserve the
Winneshiek, Mississippi river bottoms
the tract thus named which extends
from Rock Island north to Lake Pepin
in Minnesota. He declared that he
would do his best to preserve this fish
breeding and game propagation
grounds as a playground for the citi-
zens of the middle west.
While in Madison recently he was
in conference with DR.. A. T. Rasmus-
sen and Fl. E. F. Schurz of the local
Isaak Walton League chapter, which
has been conducting a nationwide
fight for the preservation of the Win
neshiek.
Plans Active Fight.
"Dr. Rasmussen and Mr.. Schurz, .
said the senator, "have given me some
information on the Winneshiek which
was not in my possession previously,
and which I regard as extremely inn
portant With it l believe that the
definite rescue of the Winneshiek bot
toms may be effected | shall return
to Washington November 20, and my
intention is to start at once on plan
of action which will not only have the
saving of the Winneshiek as its ob-
jective, but also the protection of the
other bottom lands along the whole
upper river"
Senator Lenroot did not wish to go
into details as to his plan, but indi-
Gated that it offered an excellent
chance of success. He said that lie
was much impressed with the desir-
ability of stopping drainage of the
bottoms, not only as a conservation
and sportsman measure, but as a pro-
lection to the lower river against de-
struction and costly floods. The bot
toms, he said, act as sponges to with
hold freshet waters which, were the
bottoms to be drained, would be rush
ed south in such quantities as to give
the nation enormous expense in rails
ing levees on the lower river, at the
same time greatly increasing the dan
ger of life and property behind the
dykes.
