LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Bluehill Man Thinks Hancock COun-
ty Needs a housekeeping.

Men and women of Hancock
county, where do you stand? Do you
realize to what extent the laws relat-
ing to intoxicating liquor are being
openly violated in this county? I'm
til Governor Baxter spoke in Bar
Harbor a short time ago, l, for one,
never dreamed to what extent the
wholesale operations were being car
ried on. When l read what he said,
| thought he was mistaken, and my
sympathies were with Sheriff Wes-
colt. When he called on the sheriff
to resign, and this request was re-
fused, | began to want to know the
reasons.
have never used liquor myself,
and have never seen any sold in this
county in the fifteen years | have
lived here, but | concluded that
where there was SO much smoke,
there must be some fire, and I be-
gan to inquire from reputable men
in different parts of this county. |
was surprised to hear the extent of
the open violation of law.
| began in my own town, and
when | learned the names of three
men. said to be in the business, |
called on each and stated that if they
were in the liquor business | would
advise them to get out, for as long as
| lived in the town and was raising
family here, | considered it my duty
to do all in my power to keep it
clean and the liquor traffic out, !
have given these men fair warning
that if they continue in this business,
they do 50 at their own risk.
| think that if the self-respecting
men and women in each community
would notify the law-breakers in that
community that it would be unprofit-
able for them to continue, it would
not take long to rid Hancock county
of the rum ring. 1t has a rum ring.
OF that | am satisfied. If any man
doubts it, let him spend two weeks,
as | have, inquiring from people III
a position to know.
Now, what are we going to do
about it? Does our responsibility as
individuals end when we march up to
the ballot box and elect one Of our
number to enforce the law? Do we
not owe him our moral support so
long as he is faithful to his trust,
and can he expect aught but criticism
if he is false to his oath of office?
In my opinion, the almighty dollar
is the stumbling block with most of
us, and the greed of gold is what
makes most men go wrong.
It's high time we awoke to the
danger to which law notification of
every kind is bringing us. A half
Cd n
each community, could break up this
thing in a mighty short time. Are
You willing to join us? Do you want
your boy and my boy TO be in con
slant danger from the INSCRIPTIONS
outlaws engaged in this business?
Where do you stand? Let's stand
together for honest enforcement OF
all laws.

TRAPPING LAWS.
Some Changes Made by the Last
LEGISLATURE.

Legislature.
In view of numerous changes in
the game laws by the last Legislature,
the department of inland fisheries
and game has issued a summary of
the revised trapping laws, for the
benefit of trappers.
Under the laws which are now in
force, there is no close season on
bears, bob cats, Canada lynx, loup
cervier or weasels, but of course
they cannot be taken in territory
closed to hunting, and can be taken
only when the hunter is equipped
with the hunting license or licenses
required by law.
There is no open season on beaver,
except when declared by the COM
missioner upon complaint of timber
land owners of actual, substantial
damage to their property. Trappers
of beaver, however, must secure a
twenty-five dollar license in order to
trap them on land opened to such
trapping Beaver skins must be
sealed by the commissioner or one
OF his agents before transportation
or traffic is legal.
Whoever at any time molests or
destroys beaver house, or sets a
trap within twenty-five feet thereof,
shall pay fine of one hundred dol
lars and costs for each offense. This
is the law of the last legislature.
MUSKRAT.
The open season on muSkrat in
Hancock county is from November l
to May IA, inclusive.
1t is unlawful to modest or destroy,
at any time, any muskrat house, or
set trap, at any time within twenty
five feet thereof
The open season on all other fur
bearing animals, which include,
among others, fox, raccoon, mink, is
from November l to the last day OF
the following February
Trappers in unorganized places
must be equipped with a ten-dollar
trapping license, except such license
is not required in taking bears and
bob cats alone.
Under the hunting laws, as
amended by the 1928 legislature, it
is closed season on wild birds from
sunset to half an hour before sun
rise of the following morning, and
on wild animals from one hour after
sunset until one hour before sunrise
of the following morning, except
night hunting for skunk is legal
from October 5 to the last day of
February, both days inclusive, and
for raccoon from October 1 to the
last day of February, both days in
elusive.

and many others also afforded
much assistance in donations and
time, while the work was going
on. During the same year, the
church was solemnly blessed by
the Rt. Rev. F. X. Katzer, then
Bishop of Green Bay Seven years
prior to this time, the first Mass
was celebrated and religious serv-
ices held at Eagle River in the
home of Mr.. John O'Connor, a log
house across the river from the
present city by the Rev. John Seu-
bert, who came all the way from
Clintonville for that purpose. The
Rev. John Schubert, now pastor of
Cologne, Mimi, is the brother of
the distinguished Andrew Schubert,
the Rev. Rector of St. Mary's,
Menasha, Wisconsin. Father Seu-
bert returned at long intervals to
visit these people, some two or
three times altogether, after which
they received attendance from the
first resident priest at Amigo,
Rev. A. N. Buschle, in 1885 and
1886. Father Busche left Amigo
in April, 1886, where he was sue
ceeded by the energetic enterpris-
ing Father Taken, who after
wards visited Eagle River repeat

by hard and incessant toll accum-

landed property, part of which in
cluded the original plat of Eagle

visit to Eagle River that he was
accompanied by his son George,
who has since filled many offices
Of Importance and trust, among
them being that of sheriff of the
county. Mr.. John O'Connor died
in 1889, while still in the prime
of life. During the year 1888,
there also came to this settlement
Thomas B. and William J. Walsh,
whose untiring energy, industry
and enterprise in business, as we'll
as in many civil and legal capac-
tiles, have been crowned with
marked success. Their parents as
we'll as many relatives and friends
have since moved to Eagle River,
and, with the O'Connor family,
have become influential, and rank
among the main supporters Of
Catholic interests in the parish.
Messrs. Cook and Dickinson were
two other enterprising spirits who
located at Eagle River at an ear y
day; they opened a store there,
which was situated in a tent
across the river, and at a point
near where the residence Of Mr..
Cook now stands. From the tent,
they removed to a log shanty on
the southern side of the river, on
a spot where the city waterWorks
was erected in 1898, and the city
electric plant in 1897. Thus the
settlement continued to grow,
