SNOWsHOE TRIP
W|NTON- LUTZEN.
COMMISSIONER GOULD AND
PARTY LEAVE WINTON
TOMORROW.

overland by snowshoes and dog
teams will leave Winton tomorrow
in the second of the annual trips
inaugurated by State Game and
Fish Commissioner Gould in the
effort to sell Minnesota to the pub
lie as a winter playground as well
as summer playground.
The trip last year was made from
Winton to Grand Marais. This
year the trip will be to Lutzen on
the North Shore of Lake Superior
and a week will be allotted the trip.
The trip last year was participated
in by a party of Twin City and
down state newspaper men and
others interested in the game situa-
ton in this section of the state.
1t is expected that the Game and
Fish Committees of the House and
Senate, Commissioner Gould and
newspaper men will be in the party.
At Winton they will be taken in
charge by Superintendent VIM. Han
son and a crew of wardens who
have arranged for the trip by map
ping out the journey and the sew
eral stopping places on the trip.
As can be seen by the schedule, the
journey will be by easy stages.
The schedule as arranged and
sent out by Commissioner Gould is
as follows:
"Leave St. Paul from the Union
Station Friday evening, March 6,
arrive at Duluth Saturday morning
at TOO; take train there immedi-
ately for Winton and go by auto
truck to Farm Lake about five miles
east. From there travel by snow
shoe and dog team to the west end
of Gabro Lake and camp Saturday
evening on the site of the camp of
the Phoenix Utility Company.
leave the following morning,
Sunday, over an old tote road to
Lake Three, distance of about ten
miles, where there is also set of
camps formerly used by the Phoenix
Utility Company.
Monday, March 9th, travel east
along the north Kawishiwi thru
Lake Four. Hudson Lake and Lake
Ursula to Lake Alice where we will
camp in tents for the night.
"On the morning of March 10,
follow the Kawishiwi River thru
Roma Lake to Lake Polly where we
will camp for the night.
"The next day, March IL, leave
Lake Polly travelling southeast on
the Polly River to Phoebe Lake and
over Grace Lake and Beth Lake to
the Sawbill Ranger Station where we
will camp for the night.
''The 18th, travel across the AL
ton and Sawbill Lakes taking the
Sawbill trail toward Lutzen, camp
ing on the Temperance River that
night across the old right-of-way.
''The 18th, travel down the Saw
bill trail to Honey Moon Ranger
Station where we will camp for the
night, and the next day, the 14th,
travel from Honey Moon Ranger
Station to Lutzen on the north
shore of Lake Superior, arriving
there either sometime Saturday,
March 18th, or the latest Sunday,
the 18th, in the morning, and leave
by bus for Duluth, returning by
train from Duluth to st. Paul either
the 14th or 18th.
''If it is possible to spend long
er time on the trip it would be very
interesting and desirable to take a
three days trip beginning with the
morning of the sixth day from the
Sawbill Ranger Station and go Up in
the Brule Lake country northeast
of this station. Brule Lake is sur
rounded by heavy Norway and white
pine timber. In going on side
trip of this kind we would travel
n nth from Sawbill Lake to Chero-
kee Lake and then travel east to
Brule Lake and return via the Tenn
perance River, down to Honey Noon
Ranger Station and then on 70 Lut-
zen.
Unfortunately the limited fin
ances of the department will make
it necessary for all members of the
party to pay their own railroad fare
and other incidental expenses from
st. Paul to Winton and from Lutzen
to st. Paul. There will be no ex-
pense whatever involved in connec-
ton with the overland trip from
Winton to Lutzen. However, each
member of the party should equip
himself about as follows:
81 pair snowshoes, size IL as
preferred. l packsack. 6 pair heavy
all wool socks. 1 pair rubber shoes
without heels. i eiderdown or wool
sleeping bag or in lieu thereof two
pairs of blankets. ! pair smoked
glasses fitted with head tape or
elastic. / wool stocking cap or
something similar thereto. / mack
inaw or, parha. pair moccasins OF
