GAME PRESERVE
FOUNDED THROUGH
A CLAREJRA1LER
Mishap While Seeking Location for Summer Home
Le<J Mr. Jewett to Purchase Site.
.The Clare Auto Camp. Trailer, built
Jpy the Clare Manufacturing Company
kof our city, has not only provide the
comforts of,home to the hunter, fisherman and nature lover on the shores
of the lake or streams, in the woods
or tourist camp, hut a trailer built by
this company ih' Clare was largely responsible for'the   location   and   development Of one of'jtbe most beauti-
''•iul summer,!*holmes   aud   game   preserves in the'country.
;Harry,M.-Jewett, a manufacturer of
Detroit, was' from his youth a lover
of the gun and rod and all kinds of
jsports, and realized, as all sportsmen
have, the depletion of all kinds of
game in this country, which is fundamentally the game garden spot of
the world. With a climate from Artie
Vto semi-tropic, with cover not equal-
Jed anywhere on the globe, with wonderfully cultivated fields of grain
capable ol. supporting hundreds of
percent-more,game than when Columbus first' saw";-Qjir shores—as the support of ga^ne*is simply in proportion
to the available food supply and every
cultivated field, means the support of
that much additional game—with
these wonderful assets-in our hands,
our game is becoming more scarce
every year.
Mr. Jewett had raised quail, pheasants and other game birds at his home
in Grosse Pointe, Detroit, but with
his retirement from active life as a
manufacturer, he became enthused
a* with the idea of propagating game
and, fish on a larger scale. He pur-
-chased a Clare Camp Trailer and for
a year he prospected various parts of
lower Michigan seeking a location for
a game farm and summer home.
The trailer had always given excellent service and repairs had never
been necessary during the entire
time, but one day as he camped on the
shore of a lake a few miles west of
the village of Rose City in Ogemaw
county, the axle of the trailer broke,
and Mr. Jewett and his party were
obliged to stay for several days. As
Mr. Jewett tramped through the
woods on the opposite side of this
lake, he discovered a hogsback one
hundred feet in heighth and when he
climbed a tree, he saw a view so
beautiful that he decided to build his
summer home at this point.
Mr. Jewett now owns a property
which comprises 4,500 acres, with
eight lakes and two trout streams,
splendidly watered all over, with
ideal game cover, and in the center
of which is a large farm. Four lakes
with wooded shores are in full view
from the log lodge and the bright
green of the aspen mingled with the
darker foliage of the evergreen with
occasional thickets of white birch,
makes a view so beautiful as to be
beyond description.  ,
However, the most interesting
thing about the property is the manner in which the owner has reared'
and liberated game, and his experience shoiild be-of interest and value
to the residents of Clare county where
propagation of fish and game is important to the futur.e of the tourist
and resort industry.
Working upon the theory that upland   birds  have  not  had   protection
■from    their    natural    enemies,    Mr.
Jewett   began   trapping     the   great
horned owls, house cats, stray dogs,
crows,        goshawks,      sharp-shinned,
cooper, red shoulder hawks, weasels,
skunks, mink, gophers and red squirrels, and took a total of thirteen hun-
ared from a twelve hundred acre tract
in one year.   When these vermin had
been exterminated, the upland birds
such as the pheasant, Hungarian partridge and native grouse propagated to
such an extent that in   four   years,
tliey exist at Grousehaven in profusion.

game, but it is Mr. Jewett's opinion
after careful study, that game cannot
be raised successfully "when the eggs
are set in chicken coops, which are
always more or less infested with
disease which does not seriously
effect the domesticated chicken but
win kill the wild bird, or in places
where they are not protected from
their enemies of the wilds.
This gentleman^ has talso- tried oui
the plan of placing, the trout fry in
rearing ponds until they are largVs
enough to care for themselves and
obtain food in the larger streams. As
a result of the establishment of rearing ponds, the trout streams on his
property are teeming with fish and
it will not be long until he has made
the Rifle river one of the best trout
streams in the state.
In September of each yea?;, Mr.
Jewett gives a barbecue to all of the
farmers of the neighborhood, and by
means of a lecture, moving picture
and a tour of the property has educated them to the plan of propagating
game and many' of them are raising
birds, and all are co-operating with
him in his work. Last September,
Jack Miner of Canada was the speaker at the barbecue.

Mr. Bogan read the following quotation from Willianji James, the
philosopher: "The hell to be endured ■
hereafter, of whlcblftheology tells us5-
is no worse than the hell we make .
for ourselves in: this world by ha-
bituary fashioning our characters in

more walking bundles of habits, they
would give more heed to their- conduct while in the plastic state. We
are spinning our own fates, good oar
evil, and never to be undone. Every
smallest stroke of virtue or of vice

we ever do is, in strict scientific-
literalness, wiped out."
The speaker commented on the improvement of the athletic contest in
tne increased courtesy and good
sportrmanship which is displayed by
the athletes and students of the Clare
high school.
Coach Floyd Aldread in presenting;
the letters for basketball and baseball paid compliment to the boys for
the splendid display of hard work and
perservance, and said that the motto
for athletics in the Clare high school
was: "Win all we can, but win fair."

Acey Parker responding for the
