Captain John A. Morris, Engineer
Reserve Corps, has just received
word from Headquarters Sixth Corps
Ares today that 300 applications,
$50 of the quota of young men that
viii! be permitted to attend the
Citizens Military Training Camps
from the states of Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin at Camp Custer
Michigan. and jefferson Barracks,
Missouri, from July % to August 81,
have been accepted to date.
Applications are reaching Corps
Area Headquarters at the rate of
IL "a per day so that the entire
number that can be taken care of
this year will probably be accepted
by the first of May.
1t is expected that Iron county will
be represented with its full share of

The real purpose of Citizens

in the instructions of Inspector
General Helmick to the especially
selected Army officers who conduct
ed the camps in 1924:
Il want you officers to feel that
you have not done your duty if, at
the end of the very first day, and Of
every day, the boys you have noted
as most in need of improvement have
not braced up perceptibly, breathing
deeper, standing straighter if they
are not gladder Of being alive.

Marked Differences
on Conservation Bills
Two of the Proposals Made by Izaak
Walton Leagues Have Caused
Split in Legislature.

Madison Marked differences of
opinion have arisen in the legislature
over two of the major proposals
brought before the lawmakers by
the Izaak Walton leagues of Wis
consin.
The first Of the conservation is a
bill to permit the federal government
to buy lowlands along the Mississippi
river to be used for the rescue of
fish in landlocked waters along the
stream and as a wild life refuge.
The second is the Price bill to in
vestigate the draining of the Horizon
marsh as to legality, looking toward
reflooding of the marsh as a game
preserve should the drainage be
found to have been illegal.
Governor Blaine and Congressman
Beck and Peavey objected to the or
iginal bill turning over the Mississ-
ippi bottom lands to the federal gov
eminent and a substitute by the adj
ministration is now before the legis-
lature. This substitute is expected
to pass although OPPOSITION is prom
ised The substitute, while giving
the national government the right to
buy lands along the river and engage
in the rescuing of land-locked fish,
reserves control over the area to the
state Walton league representa-
tives claim that the government will
not indulge in work along the Wis
consn shores Of the river under the
terms of the bill The measure as
drawn, however, was approved by
representatives Of the federal bureau
Of fisheries.
Farmer owners Of the Horizon
marsh have launched bitter fight
to prevent the reflooding of the
marsh property. They claim that
good crops have been produced from
the area and that better farm lands
will be created by future drainage.

was on his way home when the at.
tack occurred.
Accompanied By his son. he stopped
at Buena Vista and Concho streets
to get some tamales. Alighting from
his automobile, he was accosted by the
