FISH OF THE GREAT LAKES
What Our Island Seas Yield-A Probable
SubterraneAn River.

This city is the most important lake
fish distributing market on the entire
chain Of the great lakes. says Buffalo
letter to the NY. Sun, although very
small proportion of the fish that are
daily sent from here to the eastern
cities are taken from waters contiguous
to Buffalo. They are brought from
Lakes Superior. Michigan. and Huron,
the nearby waters of Lakes Erie and
Ontario furnishing comparatively
small supply of fish for shipment. The
fish are transported in refrigerator
cars, and the supply is so large that
the present demand is not fully sup
piled. but there is surplus enough to
keep the winter demand for lake fish
amply cared for. The trade in lake
fish for seaboard markets has increased
so of late years that it would now be
impossible to supply it during the win
tea season If winter fishing had to be
depended on for the material. The sur
plus of the summer aud fall catches is
frozen and stored in refrigerators for
the winter trade. so that a whitefish,
lake trout, yellow pike, or lake bass
served on New Workers. table in mid
winter may have been caught the pre-
vious July or August. Whether the
flavor of the fish is frozen in with the
fish itself SO that it will he the same as
it Is in the fish taken from the water is
a question.
Lake Superior is considered the best
of the lakes for fish. Its water is more
like that Of springs than any others.
White fish and trout taken from SUI
perior commppd better prices than
similar fish tasen from any of the 9TH
er lakes. They like deep water. and
are found at their best in water 800
feet deep. Yellow pike come chiefly
from Lakes Huron and Ontario. Lake
Erie excels in blue pike and black
bass. Immense numbers of whitelish
and lake trout are taken from Lake
Erie and Lake Michigan, but the best
come from the colder, clearer waters
of Superior. Gill nets are used almost
entirely in capturing lake fish for mar
ket, although tons of pike and bass are
taken with hook and line. IL is sin
gular fact that blue pike are rarely if
ever found in any of the lakes except
Erie. The fishermen on these lakes
follow "A perlous calling. and many
lose their lives IN the violent storms
that sweet over the lakes. almost with
out warning.
1t has long been noted as a curious
fact that all the St. Lawrence river
fishes are found in nearly all the great
lakes with the exception of Lake Erie.
This can be accounted for only by the
theory that a subterranean river con-
meets Lake Ontario with the upper
lakes. The beds of Lakes Superior,
Huron. Michigan. and Ontario lie at
about the same depth below the sea
level-from 250 to 260 feet--the upper
lakes beds being the highest. The bed
OF Lake Erie is $50 feet above the sea
level. The theory is that II river run
ming beneath Lake Erie extends from
Lake Superior to Lake Ontario. and
that fish from the st. Lawrence and
Ontario follow the course of that river
and find the waters of the upper lakes.

lr Is estimated that fifteen million
dollars is invested in the canning OF
fruits and vegetables in this country,
besides the further amount invested
in canning fish and meats. This bust
ness is in Its infancy. and deserves
every encouragement that legislation
can give 1t. The establishment .of
canning factories in any locality is the
best thing that can be possible for
farmers near them. These furnish a
market for many things he could not
otherwise grow To profit, aud by thus
diversifying farm industry they insure
1t against the losses always resulting
from restricting production to one or
two staples.

the boats under the same schedule. Mr..
Petsch, when seen by Globe Democrat
reporter, said that the movement was not
consolidation. but simply the agree.
ment for the above purposes. which
would serve the public to better advan.
tage than would be done by running the
lines separately. Neither line, he said,
had boats enough to properly conduct the
business. and by combining to this extent
it would give line that would handle all
the business offered more satisfactorily
than would be done if operated singly, as
it would eliminate contention between
the two companies. But one general
passenger agent and freight agent will
be maintained, he being Fred A. Bill,
of Dubuque, who has been hold.

Gem City, War Eagle and st. Paul-but
1t is not known how many boats the
Diamond 10 line will operate. The Gem
City will ply between st. Louis and
Keokuk. making three trips week. and

them was not satisfactory
