STATE FISH HATCHERY.
Commissioner Wiley Thinks There
Should Be One in Kansas

State Fish Commissioner George
Wiley of Meade county arrived in the
city Sunday and has a scheme to estab-
Ish a fish hatchery in Kansas. de is
very enthusiastic on the subject and
wants the legislature to appropriate
from $1,000 to $1,000 for that purpose.
All the nimrods in the state including
Bent A1urdock will give Wiley's scheme
their support and it is likely that the
bill will go through
'4Thirty-f1ve states in the union have
hatcheries of their own, said Mr. Wiley
today and there is no reason why
Kansas should not have one. It will not
take over $1,000 to establish one and It
will only be a short time until the hatch
cry is self-supporting. Kansas has
some splendid streams and ponds, and
there IS no reason why she should not
keep them stocked up with fish Private
parties would buy almost enough fish
from the hatchery for their private
ponds to pay the expense of the enter
prise.
I'VE can raise four kinds of fish in
Kansas-bass, croppie, channel cat and
trout There are three streams in which
trout can be raised. One is in Meade
county, one is in Clark county and the
third is in Hamilton county. But there
are hundreds of streams that croppies,
bass and channel cat can be raised in,
besides the many lakes, ponds and pri-
Vate fish ponds The hatchery should be
located in the vicinity of artesian wells
Meade county is the proper place. al
though I would not plug for my own
county IL IL endangered the passage OF
the BILL
The fish commissioner has it figured
out that with proper attention and a
hatchery it would not take long to stock
Kansas streams, lakes and ponds with
fsh. "A bass will spawn from 1000 to
100000 eggs in a season" said he. "Of
this number 20 per cent will produce fish
that will grow to maturity. One bass
will raise from 5000 to 10000 young fish
a year. So you see it would not take
long to stock up at that rate. Fish beat
jack rabbits in breeding"
An effort will also be made by the
fish commissioner to get q law passed
prohibiting people from fishing within
100 feet of a dam He says that the fish
of a stream always hang around dam
and that it should be made a crime to
catch them at such places. He also
wants a law to prohibit peel1le who fol-
low fishing for a living from selling fish
under a certain size In order to make
it effective he wants clause attached
that viii make a penalty against the
persons who purchase as well as the one
who sells. 1T is the small fish that are
caught mostly by the fishermen in
stead of the large ones,'' said he. Pro
vision should be made whereby the
small ones should not be molested. There
is no objection to fishermen catching
large ones and selling them, but by
catching the small ones the stock is soon

Santa Fe May Move Leavenworth
Structure to Lexington, Mo.


Tt is reported that the Santa F'e is
negotiating for the purchase Of the old
Missouri and Kansas bridge across the
Missouri river at Fort Leavenworrh,
and the difference which has brought
negotiations to a temporary stop is only
about $4,000. The purpose is to buy the
bridge. have it taken down and put
up across the Missouri river at Lexing-
ton. where a company was recently or
Eanizad for the construction OF a bridge,
and that the Santa Fe would use il for
It's branch. Engineers who have inves-
tigated the property say that it is a
most substantial structure and can be
taken down and put up for less than
$4,000
There has been talk also that the pur-
chase Of this bridge by Leavenworth
city would be an Investment that
would bring good returns and that the
town viii make a. mistake if il allows
the chance for its purchase to slip by.
1t is believed the bridge could be bought
for $50. 600 and at such figure would be
dirt cheap This would give Leaven-
worth a free bridge.
Another idea is that while the gov
ernment would not. purchase the bridge.
It would accept it as a. donation, agree
1ng to keep IL in repair The govern
Enent owns considerable property on the
Missouri side Of the river, and the
bridge would be useful to it.
