Bounty Proposal for Hawks and Owls at Large
A Merquette man, A. A. Smith, argues hawks and owls should both carry bounties to protect small game in Baraga County. He cites hawks killing partridge and owls preying on rabbits, urging bounties to curb these losses while opposing pet-hunter sentiment and supporting the current deer protection stance. Also notes Andrew Bjorkman of Iron Mountain as a leading northwest logging contractor, employing hundreds across Marinette and Dickinson counties, with large timber contracts for Sawyer Goodman, Marquette & Menominee Paper, and Kimberly Clark. Three men, Fred Caldwell, Bert Caldwell, and Fred Negra, are bound over for highway robbery after Cedar River arrest.
