Soon after entering upon the duties of
my office, | made application for fish for
the stocking of various waters Of our state.
The name and description Of the lakes
each by itself was given. including ali
necessary data. 1 also presented the views
and desires of the people living near such
waters, in regard to the supply and the adj
vantages to accrue therefrOm, etc. These
applications were duly received by the
honorable United States commissioner of
fish and fisheries, and assurance was given
that the applications would be duly filed,
and filled in their order, soon as the supply
OF fish would warrant the shipment.
Amongst the very first applications made
IN my official capacity, was one for fish for
Devils lake. To-day notification comes
from the United States fish department at
washington, that a supply of large-sized
fish for the waters of Devils Jake will
arrive at Devils Lake city within the next
sixty days. #S
For a long time l have been investigating
various waters, in different parts of the
state, to learn if they possess the proper
conditions for the establishment Of a fish
hatchery, the object in view being to CLEAN
facts and certain data that, in my report
Il recommendations you as the state
executive, and the legislators may form
some idea of the opportunities for such an
establishment. if our lawmakers should
deem it best to consider this Important
question:. and to-day, in addition to my
official duties,I will proceed to Fort Totten
IN company with Capt. j. w. Palmer, who

Going Home.
The detachment of regular troops
from Fort Smelling, MINI, who went
west on the first through train after the
strike, about a month ago, returned en-
route to Fort Smelling on Sum
DAY afternoons train to the post
at which they are stationed. The men
have been at various places in Montana
since their going, ~detachments having
been stationed at various places along
the line. They have seen not much
actual trouble with rioters, but the fact
OF their presence was the only thing
which prevented serious trouble. The
troops have been absent from Fort Smell
ling just a month, and have had the
monotony of life at the fort pleasantly
varied by this western trip. Their re-
turn marks the practical end Of trouble
in Montana, all troubles having been adj
justed, and everything running smoothly
again.

The Baptists had . prayer meeting at
Q. A. Carlson's place last Thursday
evening.
Now is the busiest time Of the year
out in the country, the people are all
hard at work gathering up the product
OF the soil and their labor.
This year the farmers reward will be
small. but it is no use wasting signs and
groans, we have to take what we get and
be satisfied, nature will probably be a
little more gracious and liberal another
year.
Painted Woods lake must be a great
place for fish, and fishers nowadays.
Last Sunday Mr.. G. Larson and q party
from Ecklund township was up fishing.
MI. Larson was fairly successful in
catching fish, but came very near being
caught himself in some one else's net.
Spare time is at present very scarce,
but still the farmers find a little time for
discussing politics, and it seems thatthe
local believers in protection to our in
dustries are we'll satisfied with the work
OF the republican state convention. The
ticket selected is a strong one, and will,
at the coming election carry the state
from corner to corner.
Herman Meyer had hard luck with his
harvester last Wednesday morning.
While he was around oiling the machine
the team suddenly took fright and
bolted away, before he could reach the
lines, smashing the machine into atoms.
The same day Mr.. Woods team made
up their mind to have some fun too, but
It came very near not being any fun for
Mr.. Woods. While he was trying to
stop the horses, he was thrown to the
ground and the wagon passed over him,
but as the wagon was not loaded it did
not injure him very much.
