The state fish department will stock
what has been known us ''the Colorado
dead sea" This is Q lake near Grand
Junction. which. according to I. J. 1lol-
land. superintendent OF fish hntcheries
fM the state, has never known what
fish is. Gold Bridge lake will be
filed this year with some OF the best
stock which can be procured and IN
| effort be made to see IL fish cannot be
trained to live in the water. Some
thing about the water Of Lake Gold
Bridge has kept fish from living In II,
but last year residents In that vicinity
noticed that the water materially clear

effect so encouraged Mr.. Holland that
I he listened to the solicitations of many
, citizens OF the neigllborhood who are
anxious to fish and have nothing to fish
for. He has therefore decided TO make
trial of the matter.
Winfield Scott Stratton has rescued
the Paris commission from the embar-
rasscd financial conditions which
would undoubtedly have resulted in a
collapse of the entire scheme of taking
the mineral exhibit of the state to the
great exposition. The millionaire min.
ing man saw a statement of the tan
slcd finances of the commission In the
News. and telegram promising
abundant cash was received from him
later in the day. 1t will cost the min.
Ing man at least $4,000 to make good
his promise of putting the finances of
the commission in shape. But his mes
sage is considered as good as gold by
the board and will increase the
amount of money promised sufficient
TO warrant the success of the under
taking which will advertise the mining
interests of Colorado at the great fair.
The action of Mr.. Stratton is the last
of many efforts made to bolster up the
board in Its undertaking. or all these
It will prove the most effective be-
cause II means the contribution of cash
which las been so difficult TO obtain.
with its great scheme on the verge of
collapse the telegram from the mining
man came like II ray of sunshine
through a very dark cloud. 1t saves
the pet project of the governor. Until
the telegram arrived the board was in
great state Of embarrassment. FL
