LlVt.WIRE FISHING,
Every Fish That Gets within Ten Feet OF
the Net Ia Caught.

Every Fish That Gets within Ten Feet OF
the Net ia Caught.
It is positively shocking the way
they are catching fish at the plant OF
the st. Anthony Falls Water Power
Company. This. too. In face of large
sign on which Is inscribed in plain let
ters: mo Fishing Allowed; Keep on"
But. then. only the immediate attaches
Of the power house are privileged.
The electricians have become 10
used to working wonders by electric
ity-such n miracle, for instance, as
running the street railways Of two
cities without scarcely having to turn
a hand themselves-that they are in
the habit Of calling the mysterious
fluid to their assistance whenever It Is
convenient to DO so.
They started out early in the season,
which did not open until Wednesday,
to fish in the legitimate way, but fail
Ing to get any fish to speak of by hook,
they determined to catch them. II pos
sible, by crook-to electrocute them.
Since then fish have responded with
such wonderful alacrity to the novel
bait that few minutes sport will
give the new fisherman "a nice mess. -
The sight would bring tears to the
eyes Of Ike Walton. who believed "art
for arts sake" who accounted 1t a
more credltable performance to catch
one hsh an hour by patient, painstak-
ing. philosophic endeavor, than to
slaughter the fnny tribe on the whole
sale plan In short order.
At the power house they take good
live wire, properly insulated, where
the angler holds it. and stick the same
into the water. Water is a good con-
ductor, as everybody knows, and
every time fish comes within ten or
twelve feet Of the centre of disturb
ance he is conducted to the surface.
He is not dead-he Is simply shocked
into insensibility by his sensational re-
ception, end II left to his own re-
sources would soon be himself again.

which the tail race comes pouring.
reaches deftly into the water and
scoops up the unfortunate fish with a
net.
Perch. sinners, bullhcads, crappies
and an occasional sturgeon are caught
in this way. One of the electricians
who was directing the mighty ma
chinery which generates 10000 horse
power, said that he had caught q
sturgeon early in the spring which
weighed twenty pounds. He said that
an ordinary current Of electricity was
strong enough to bring the most OBJ
streperous fish to the surface in most
cases. He had to hand the sturgeon
considerably more than the average
before he could make him 'lie still and
be quiet"
Sometimes a simple iron plate with
electrical connections Is used. 1t is
hung over the side Of the wall into the
river, and does the work as effectu-
ally as the wire apparatus. The law
does not specifically forbid electric
fishing, but Game Warden Fullerton

SANTA FE TO

Collecting Fresh Statistics
Of Progress in the
Territory

The Santa Fe railway takes a great
pride in Oklahoma, and is trying to
keep a record Of tn progress made
by that commonwealth insofar as it is
directly affected by means Of the
Santa Fe road.
Preparations are now being made
for the compilation Of a book Of sta
tistics to show the advancement of
Oklahoma towns on the Santa Fe dur
ing the past twelve months The
towns" is used in a very inclusive
sense, for the Santa Fe proposes 70
show by its statistics the growth not
only Of the towns but OF the wide belt
of farming country which is tributary
to the road
One of the interesting things which
the forthcoming book Of statistics will
show is that the trend of emigration
on the Santa Fe is no longer to south
ern Oklahoma, hut is toward the Pan.
handle country. This is an indication
of two things; First, that southern
Oklahoma ia passing the place where
there is more land than the population
can attend to; an dsecond, that the
Panhndle country is believed by
those who visit it to offer opportuni-
ties for prontable farming as well as
stock raising. Tho Panhandle is with
out doubt a rich agricultural country
the only doubtful point being the
water supply II is claimed that plen-
ty OF water can be secured by drilling
and if so the great cattle ranges will
soon be cut up into fenced farms.
The statistics concerning the growth
Of the country during the year will be
furnished by the agents of the Santa
Fe at every town in Oklahoma reach
ed by the road. Blank forms are now
beng prepared by the passenger de-
partment, and will soon be sent out to
the agents. Reports will be received
from about sixty points in Oklahoma,
and it is thought that the canvass will
be complete early ia 1902.
The agents will be asekd to state
as far as possible the number of fami-
lies coming to their respective locali-
ties during the year, the average
amount of farm land purchased by
each family the increase in the size
OF the town, and the important bust
ness houses and other improvements
established in the course of the year.
An effort will also be made to ascer-
tain approximately the number of
families who have come in on the
homeseeker excursions, and the gen
eral character of the new population.
All this information, when collected
and published in the usual attractive
form Of similar Santa Fe booklets,
win form very interesting and val
liable addition to the history Of Okla
