One fact that is not commonly known is that from the Lake of the Woods comes nearly all the caviare con- sumed in the American markets. It is Russian caviare to the general public, but it is only Lake of the Woods caviare bearing Continental label, and export CTS of the article state that only the in- ferior grades find their way back to this country for the best of it goes to the ta- bles of European epicures.
 The Lake of the Woods has a total area of over six thousand square miles, and it's waters abound with fish of all kinds. The most important fish in the lake are the sturgeon, and it is these to which the fishermen devote the most at tention They range in weight up to one hundred and seventy-fve and occasion ally two hundred pounds apiece, and sell in cad-lots at about four cents pound. The sturgeon are to be met with in all parts of the lake. but the most prolific stretches of water are in the southern portions of the lake, where the water is shallow and the bottom sandy. There are the surgeons feeding grounds. Sev- eral seasons ago the water in the lake was higher than usual, and much of the ]ow-lying ground surrounding the shore lines was flooded The sturgeon fol- lowed the overflow, finding new feeding places in the shoal water, and they thus evaded the nets, and the fishermen had poorer returns for their labor The at tention paid to the sturgeon, however, is resulting badly to the fish, and experts say that unless measures are taken shortly to reduce the take of sturgeon the fish will be exterminated, so far as commercial purposes are concerned.
 The caviare is the chief product of the sturgeon and to it the most attention is paid. After the fish is killed and the be7a cut off it is carefully cleaned the caviare being set aside in tanks When the catch has been disposed of the ca viare is then taken and washed repeated ly until it is thoroughly clean, after which it is rubbed by hand through a series of screens until all the eggs are separated. That is all the process ne- cessary. It is packed in one hundred and sixty pound kegs with salt spec ially imported from Germany, and kept in cold storage until the time for ship peut arrives when it is sent to London, England, and to Germany A number of have been made with Cana dian and American salts, but so far they have not proved so good as the salt brought from over the ocean. On arriv- ing in Europe the kegs are opened and the caviare is sorted out according to
