FISH.
We stated in Il recent item that Sher-
if Miller had applied to the Fish Com
nlissioners for some black bass and 9TH
| er fish to put in our lakes. On Monday
Mr.. Watkins, OF the st. Paul hatchery.
arrived with four cans, containing a.
! bout 1900 young fish, consisting Of
Lake Superior trout and Pacific and
Land-Locked salmon. The black bass
lie was unable to furnish us he is not H.
BILE to grow them, owing to the col,lness
of the water used. n. McDougall, Su-
perintendent of the Roche Farm, re.
ccived about one-lhlro Of the trout and
Pacific salmon and took them to Round
Lake. The remainder were promptly
taken to the West Okabena Lake, and,
procuring boat, Sheriff Miller and
Mr.. Loveless rowed out some distance
from the shore and poured the little
beauties into the lake.
Altogether there have been placed in
Okabena lake some 15,|tl fish, mostly
salmon. About five years ago several
thousand were received and three years
ago about three thousand more.
In conversation with Mr.. Watkins,
we learned considerable about fish Gull
ture. After twelve years of experiment,
during which lie met with number of
failures, he has had the most gratifying
success in growing trout, salmon and
other varieties. That the salmon can
be successfully placed in the lakes and
waters Of the State, he has no doubt.
Gen. Flower caught Il seven pound sal
mon last year III one Of the lakes near
st. Paul, belonging to 2 school which
had been placed there. lie has no doubt
of the ability of the salmon and trout
to take care of themselves in our lake.
! The salmon take to the deepest water
and after establishing themselves, they
will develop and propagate. AS arule,
| they do not haunt the shores and ordi-
nary fishing grounds as the pickeral and
native fish do. Fishermen will have to
learn where their quarters are and then
| take them from boats, or 10y spear and
net III the spawning season.

wherein VIM. ". Herdic is plaintiff and
! Virginia y. 1Ierdic is detendent, this
being q preliminary step i'll an applica-
ton for divorce. Our readers will re-
| member that about this time last year,
the ADVANCE made mention of Il rum
ored elopement from Ransom township.
Mrs. II. left home ostensibly to visit
1 her relatives in Wisconsin. Since then.
