A gentleman stated to the NcdcS this
week that for ten miles up and down
| the St. Francois river there is fish
trap erected every mile. This is a
clear violation of the law and the
erectors of said traps lay themselves
liable to a fine of from 80 to $50 for
such offense Some of our fishermen
seem to overlook the fact that the law
makes anyone taking fish from said
trap equally guilty with the party who
erected the trap. the law says: Nor
| by any such means, (meanirg trap or
seine) shall take or catch any fish in
any of the waters of this state, etc. "
| The law also provides for the catch
| ing of minnows in seine, not to ex-
coed in length fifteen feet.-Fredertc6-

offer of 81 900 and one hundred acres
of land to secure the location of the
Children's Industrial Farm Association

derstood Mr.. Miller's proposition is re-
ceiving favorable consideration at the
hands of the board of directors. The
| following from Wednesdays Republic
tells of the purposes of the Organiza-
ton: The Children's Industrial Farm
| Association was organized last Janu-
ary, but an effective organization has
only been perfected during the past
| few weeks. Its purpose is to relieve
the city of the dependent and aban-
doned children who are at present liv-
| ing amid squalid surroundings in the
slums and overcrOwded districts. To
| do this the intention is to secure a
| large farm near st. Louis, on which to
raise and educate these children. All
the children will be put to work on the
farm, and it is expected that the pro-
ducts of the place will be nearly suffi-
cient for its maintenance. The pro-
moters of the movement intend to CO.
operate with the other chi1dren's So
cieties throughout the State and a CEN
trail clearinghouse will be established.
An attempt is being made to raise
$4,000 to put the plan to a successful
execution"
