of Northern and Central Minnesota with
WhltetiSh, trout and other varieties of
fish is pronounced success. In many
of these lakes these fish have multiplied
so rapidly that they are now more plen-
tIful than the bony and miserable scrubs
that formerly filed SO many of these
bodies of water every where. YeSter-
day a gentleman from the Park region.
sitting in the Merchants lobby. talked
50 entertainingly of the mass of white
fish that had been taken from little
lake near his farm during the last year
That he positively made more disciples
than careful reading of lZsak Walton's
piseatOrial essays could do.
II don't now what the state fish
commission is doing now" said this
gentleman, but | do think that il has
done some good work in tie past, VIII ch
l hope will be continued until every one
of our rivers and lakes is filed with
fish that are worth catching. Now that
prairie chickens and all other kinds OF
game worth shooting is becoming scarce,
think a great deal more attention
Shodld be given this matter OF stocking
the lakes of the state with trout, carp,
whiteish, salmon. bass and pike. This
