Black Bass for Spiritwood Lake.

by Gov. Shortridge from W. w. Barrett,
state commissioner of fish and game, IN
regard to the stocking the waters of
Sp.citvood lake with black bass. The
letter IS self lfexplanatory and is as follows:
Dear Sir:-I am pleased to announce
to you the fact that have an assurance
from the department of United States
fish and feheres that good supply of
fish will be furnished on my application
for Spiritwood lake, the shipment to be
made the coming fall or winter with DO
expense for same or delivery at James,
town, where will see they are taken in
charge and conveyed to Spiritwoed lake.
You would, believe, be not little
surprised to learn of the many things of
a perplexing nature that have attended
my effort to secure fish for Spirltwood
lake. It has required much diligence.
perseverance and considerable CORES
pondence on my part to bring the matter
to the present state wherein everything
looks most favorable. There has been
seemingly much delay fn this matter,
but the facts are no fish could have been
furnished before the date fixed because
there were none to spare.
I had considerable correspondence
with the Hon. commissioner of fish and
fisheries, Marshall Mcdonald, and also
his assistant in regard to the kinds Of
fish for Spiritwood lake and it was final.
ly reduced to this. First. black bass and
trout do not do we'll together, and there.
fore but one Of these kinds would be
sent. Second, black bass is the only
desirable fish that can be furnished this
fall or winter by that department for
Spiritwood lake; another season other
varities may be obtained 70: those
waters.
The printed form OF application for fish
requires that some member of congress
must endorse the same, and Hon. w. N.
Roach, at my solicitation, kindly signed
the application for fish for Spirit wood
lake.
As intimated in former letters, it is my
strong conviction, and this sentiment is
shared by many persons in the union,
that no state Of the nation can OBTAIN
needful supply of fish for lis waters from
the national government because it is
an imposlbihty to supply the great and
constantly increasing demand. Hence
our next legislative assembly should, in
Justice to the best interest OF the state
and people, consider the very important
question of state fish hatchery whereby
supply of fish may be secured for our
waters.

ing ever afterwards separate institu-
ton for the care OF feeble minded child
rem, is simply waste Of taxpayers
money.
At most, one separate ward building,
in connection with the insane hospital
already built, will be all that is neces-
sary for this purpose. for many years,
according to the prospects Of growth Of
population of state. A new institution
means q separate list OF officials and at
tendsnts at high salaries, when all the
necessary care could be given in connec-
ton with the state hospital for adults, at
q slight additional expense to the Tax
payers.
North Dakota has too many expen-
slve state institutions already for the
welfare Of the taxpayers. The above
proposition for another drain on the tax
payer ought to he set down on, and If
the people Of the state understand the
situation when voting on the proposed
amendment in the constitution, they
will undoubtedly do so. Every tax
payer is interested in this matter.

Gilbert a. suliivan's opera was followed
by others by the same composers, and then
the taste for light opera seemed to veer
around to the Herman school, when
Strauss, Miilockcr. Genee and other Ger

public taste for some four or five years.

lowed, and then the managers began TO

power Of attraction than the meritorious
works of recent composers.

some elegant pictures. We were sur.

with each dozen a splendid large bro.

board and scoop shovel. One had got.
