BY TOM MARSHALL Crane lake ia situated four miles northeast of Browning, 111., near ths moutih of the Sangamon, at Its confluence with the Illinois river. Crane lake is two miles long, averaging about a half mile In width. Fed by springs from the bottom, the water Is ever cold. Forests of fine oak trees eklrt the shores arid adjacent ridges, bearing masts, which have proven most seductive to migratory birds. Crane lake was at one time ths property of Powers brothers of Decatur, 111. Ths lake was later transferred to a syndicate, which has followed the policies of game conservation and protection originally adopted at Crane Lake sanctuary. Aa a house .guest of Powers brothers, prior to the sale of the land, I carefully studied the policies, which not only protects and perpetuates game on private preserves, but conserves it for the nation at large, Duck Sanctuary. Crane lake, as above described. Is a veritable duck sanctuary Not a shot has been fired on this lake for years. Ducks and geess congregate there from every section, driven In by Incessant outside shooting snd attracted by their intuitive duck knowledge of absolute safety. They usually arrive at great height, reaching a point directly over Crane lake, and volplane down In funnel ahape, darting and twlatlng as they near the water. Eliminating circling, they Immediately alight, which ducks never do un'ess confident of safety In their own minds. This is also g an evidence of ducks Strange migrating or uninitiated birds always circle the lake, settling on ths water about the third excursion round. Flocks frequently arrive, apparently directed and guided by the head of the family, whe had vis'ted there before snd was piloting in ths recent brood. They were coming from the north, at a double safety height. When the head of the lake was reached, their wings were set and they volplaned and coasted down with the velocity of a bullet, settling on the water without a circle of Investigation, tndloatlvs of former acwith surrounding environquaintance ment Strangers arriving could be by their flight and aotkm, at home-comin- tracted by thousands of birds splashing, calling hnd playing In ths lake.

It required about an hour fur to the campers all depart. Before a storm, wonderful flights of ducks and geese were always seen dashing for ths lake.

A strict code of shooting rules always prevailed about Crane lake, which governed the balance of the preserve where shooting was permitted, at a distance from the sanctuary lake.
