Democratic Sentinel, Volume 4, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 April 1880 — A Paradise for Sportsmen. [ARTICLE]

A Paradise for Sportsmen.

The country all through Northern Minnesota almonds in. lakes and la!-< - lets from an eighth of a mile to ten mid twelve miles in length, and there are said to be 10,000 of them in the State, and a large proportion of them are said to abound with fish and game. Those w ho have traveled through it tell me it is a perfect paradise for the sportsman, and, indeed, large parties of gentlemen from other States, as well as from Europe and the provinces, visit this section annually in pursuit of game and sport and health in consequence upon such pursuits. The first evening 1 arrived one of those sportsmen came into the hotel, follow'ed by two men carrying strings of birds, compost d mainly of ducks, but a few prairie pheasants, chickens and partridges, and a few woodcock ; but the great weight of the game, of which there must have been over 250 birds, were of the mallard duck ; with a few red-heads and canvas-backs, and 1 ere and there sprinkled through the string w ere a green-wing or red-w ing teal or diver. These, as I was informed, were the result of a day’s shooting from one gun. The birds art* easily reached by those who are experienced in shooting them, and so abundant are they that you can get a brace of splendid mallards in prime condition, for 30 cents, or a dozen brace for $2.50—-Cor.

The consii utional amendments aie no doubt adopted, ami we cannot think otherwise than that th people ere long will be anxious to vote sot amendments wiping them out. The Democracy made no opposition to them as partisans, while the Republican State Central Committee sent out its orders to the remotest corners of the State, with full and explicit directions how to proceed to secure tin ii Adoption. The lawjdirected the tick rts to be placed in custody of each inspector and by him furnished the voter on application. The first and only individual we noticed at the polls early in the morning, at this place, was a member of the republican fowl - ship committee with his hands full of blue tickets, many of them prepared for the faithful.
