/ A herd of 40 elk and large herd
of wild deer inhabit the game farm,
on the shores of Trout lake. The
farm comprises 700 acres of cut
over land, part of the new 10000
acre Northern Forest park.
During the summer the elk feed
themselves, but in the winter the
state has to feed them" Mr. Har-
rington declared. "They are given
clover hay. The deer can forage for
themselves in winter as well as in
summer To feed the elk costs
about $3.50 a month,

game farm as soon as it is feasible, Z"
Mr.. Harrington said. THE elk have

Several years ago the United
States government advertised elk for
sale, and even offered them TO any
one who could pay transportation
charges, explained Mr.. Harrington.
They were starving elk from Mon

ported two of them, but the expert
ment was unsuccessful. Later 20
elk were brought in from Jackson's

died on the way, but enough sur

THE original number has doubled

but the state has gained nothing
from them. They are not an at
traction for tourists since in the
summer they are scattered through
the 700 acres of park. During the
winter they come to the feeding
stations, but there are no tourists to
see them.
THE wild game need no protection,
since everybody knows that they are
the property Of the state. No hunt

County Adopts Snow
Removal Program
Board Votes to Keep Main Highways
Open to Motor Traffic at Special
Session on Monday

The Iron county board of super
visors, at a special meeting held on
Monday, voted to adopt a snow
removal program by which part of
the main highways in the county will
be kept open to. motor traffic during
the winter months. At the adjourn
ed annual session held last Nov "a
the board took the negative point of
view in the highways snow removal
matter and voted to make no effort
along that line this winter.
The special meeting to again
consider the snow removal problem
was the result of petitions from
citizens in the towns of Anderson,
Kimball and Saxon.
The equipment on hand and which
was purchased and used last winter,
consisting of two lotion tractors and
two snow plows, viii be used in the
snow removal program decided on at
the meeting held Monday. The
particular highways on which the
snow removal efforts will be made
was left to the discretion of the
county highway committee The two
main highways in the county are
numbers 10 and n, and it is pro-
bable that parts of these highways
will be kept open to motor traffic
during the winter.
In all cases where villages and
towns request the county to come to
their aid with its snow removal
equipment a charge of $500 per
hour will be made, this being the
figure fixed by the county board,
The matter of purchasing material
for building snow fences was left in
the hands of the highway committee

Will Be Represented
at Tidewater Congress
Wisconsin's Participation in Gather
ing at St. Paul Has Been
Sanctioned by Governor

Madison isconsin's participa-
ton in the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence Tidewater congress which
will be held in St. Paul, January
and 6, is assured. according to A. A.
Pardee. Duluth, who announced on
a visit here that the project has been
sanctioned by Gov. John j. Blaine.
Delegates are invited from munich
paIities and civic organizations as
well as the official Representatives of
the state.
Attendance is expected from this
region which has so often been de-
scribed as marooned-fromt the 500
to the Rocky Mountains Montana,
the Dakotas, Minnesota, Northern
Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan" Mr.. Pardee declared
"The invitation is extended through
official channels through the Amer
lean Society of Equity, the state
Bankers associations the General
Federation of Women's clubs in each
state"
Gov. Christensen of Minnesota as
well as Gov. Blaine, has sanctioned
the meeting.
This group of states constitutes
single economic unit, having like
conditions and like limitations" Mr..
Pardee said. "And in the last few
weeks, a new factor has developed
which furnishes one more link of
common action.
People are saying the no.
ton seems to have been spread with
deliberate purpose the trend is to-
ward the seaboard; the Northwest
must wait They say the Northwest
is too far from the coast; every
thing is going south now
Nov the magnificent develop
ment of the south. extending all the
way from the Potomac river to
Texas, is something in which we may
take comfort. We are glad of it.
The growth of the south, its new
industries, it's new capital, its new
agriculture, all that is going to
supplement the growth of the North
west.
But when they say, because the
Northwest does not enjoy the adj
vantages Of the seaboard, that is rea-
son enough why nothing should be
done for the Northwest to give it
like advantages, our people are going
to protest. And when they say, be-
cause Of this wonderful development
in the south the Northwest must
hold back, the Northwest doesn't
believe it.
I'm a recent statement j. F. Reed
president OF the Minnesota farm bur
eau said: If that notion generally
prevailed, it would mean the North
west must shrink back to 1900. In
the Tidewater congress at st. Paul
it is proposed to bring to focus
the issue whether the Northwest
shall go ahead or whether it must
shrink back to 1900.
"The primary purpose is to adj
vance the st. Lawrence project But
it will have immediate effect on the
bearing of our own people and on
the attitude of the whole country
toward Northwest developments"
