There are sharp-tai- l grouse, insectivorous birds, waterfowl, the eagle, and many varieties of There are trout in the streams altogether a wilderness paradise almost too good to be true. The movement to conserve Isle Royale as a public playground has as Its ultimate purpose the rreutlon of a national park. And the movement appears to be well under way. Some of the plans, however, are more or less indefinite. It Is stated that Secretary Work of the Interior department has set aside 0,121 acres owned by the federal government ; that Michigan has agreed to contribute 2,240 acres of state land ; that Michigur, !s In process of buying large tracts on the island for park purposes; that an unnamed 0 donor has presented the state with acres for park purposes ; that the Islund Copper company has promised to turn over 45,000 acres, and that a Detroit newspaper has undertaken to secure these and other contributions of land sufficient for park purposes. One thing is certain. Unless congress makes a radical change in Its policy the lands for the park will have to be donated to the federal government. Uncle Sam is not buying lands for park purposes. Lafayette National Park In Maine was presented to the nation by property owners. The national parks of the Scenic West were taken from the national forests and from the public domain without cost to the federal government. The announcement by Secretary Work that lie has set as'de the 9,121 acres owned by the federal government means that he approves the movement and the Island and Is willing, under proper conditions, that the area should be made a national monument, as s preliminary to Its establishment as a national park. The difference is this: A national monument may be created by Presidential proclamation; a national park requires an act of congress. Here is an authorized statement by Secretary Work: g By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN SLE ItOYALE NATIONAL PARK? Let us hope so. Anyway, there seems to be a chance.

Moreover, it is cast of the Mississippi, and the eastern half of the United States has hut one national park Lafayette on the Isle of Mount Desert, off the Maine const. Take a look at the maps printed herewith and you will get a clear idea of the location of Isle Royale in relation to more familiar geographical points. You'd think from its location of Lake Superior that It belongs to But it doesn't. It belongs to Canada. Michigan and it is a part of Keweenaw Keweenaw county, which occupies PonM, on the Upper Peninsula. The international boundary line runs straight up the middle of the Great Lnkes, but here it takes a shoot to the north nnd runs between Isle Royale and the north shore of Lake Superior. Isle Royale is a little more than 50 miles from Keweenaw Point; 30 miles from Fort William; 100 miles from Puluth, at the head of the lake, and 250 miles from Sault Ste. Marie, between Lakes Superior and Huron. Tltf island itself is about 45 mile long by nine at Its widest point quite a sizeable islnnd nnd ample for a national park. There are in addition at least 150 Islands off shore, ranging from 320 acres to one acre. On the main island are about 50 inland lakes and many streams. Heavy virgin forests of birch, maple and various evergreens clothe its rocky ridges. The shore line is irrejniliir and .gives a great variety of harbor some broad bays, others narrow and long and run ning far in among tne loresr-cia- i ridges, si ill others almost landlocked. Vessels carrying wheat from the Red River Valley of Canada pass to the north of the island. To the south goes procession all summer a boats.
