81 have made tour OF the state fish
hatcheries as the guest OF the fish
commission" said Lieutenant Governor
Stone at the Hotel Pfster last evening,
land | want to say that grand work is
being done for the state OF Wisconsin.
We went to Oshkosh and remained over
night, and then went to Mlnocqua,
where they have succeeded i'll Matching
black bass, thing heretofore considered
impossible. From Min0cqua we went 10
! BAYFIELD,, where they have the finest
hatchery to be found in America. 1t was
originally built to hatch lake and brook
trout and whitefish, but here, too, they
have succeeded in Matching out lot OF
black bass; in fact some of the ponds are
! full of that kind of fish. This cannot be
accomplished by stripping the spawn
from the old fish and planting it, as in
| the case with the other varieties. They
! have arranged ponds there with gravel
bottoms and the fish are Matched out nat
urally. The bass will be distributed and
the commission will go into the Matching
of this kind of fish extensively in the
future.
81 want to say right here that the
members of the fish commission are all
right. They are not only competent, but
are deeply interested in the work. There
were in our party Commissioners E. E.
BRYANT of Madison j. ]. Hogan Of La
Crosse, I'll. ID. Smith of Appleton, Calvin
Spensley of Mineral Point and Superin-
tendent James Nevins. We lived on
board the fish commission car.
"While we were at Ashland the Booths
gave us an excursion about the Apostle
| Islands on one Of their tug boats, and it
was revelation to me. We visited the
| fish stations. Their fishermen live on
| the islands, and set their nets between
them. [ was surprised to find how
scarce whitetish were becoming III
Lake Superior. Out of between 4,0O(
and 5000 pounds of fish obtained at the
stations when we made the rounds, there
were only about 800 pounds of whitefish
the balance being lake trout. These
tugs visit the islands daily and gather
up the catch, which is taken to Bayfield,
and shipped to all parts of the country
Oshkosh Northwestern: The GAINESVILLE
girl who ran away from home in the
middle of the night, went to Chicago and
then turned up in Buffalo has returned
home. She says her mind is "perfec1
blank" There is not much doubt about
that. There is large number of young
women in the country suffering from the
same difficulty. We see them and heal
them everywhere and they are the ones
who bring sorrow and tribulation upoI
their parents. But the GAINESVILLE CIR
was the first one to acknowledge the rea
cause of the trouble.
