low citizens to his brave. useful and
unselfish life.
Three daughters survive him.
Charles c. Nichols, the well-known
game warden is now in charge Of the
new fish hatchery at Squaw brook,
Moosehead lake, where there is at pres
ent 100000 fry which viii be turned
into the various bodies of water round
about Moosehead lake this fall. The
hatchery at Squaw brook, in Mr..
Nichols estimation, and also in the
minds of many others, is destined to
become one of the finest in the United
States. as well as one of the largest.
1t Is said that the United States gov
eminent has none where the conditions
are so very favorable. This has been
demonstrated in most practical man
ner since the eggs We're placed in the
hatchery and the work has been going
forward. One-fourth of the young fry
are salmon. and the hatchery is of a
size that it is possible to hatch 1000. 600
eggs but under present equipment only
about 100000 can be properly cared
for until large enough to be allowed to
shift for themselves. Mr.. Nichols saws
that 1T has been demonstrated that we
have the conditions to hatch trout as
no other hatchery" and when it is
considered that trout are propagated
in the waters tributary to Moosehead
lake as in no other known section of
tie country. there is not only force but
logic in Mr. Nichols statement.
Mr.. Nichols was recently asked how
many eggs would be secured this fall.
and he stated that he could not tell.
That All would be secured that was
possible. Last year a steamer was
placed at the disposal OF those con-
nected with the hatchery and a large
number of trout caught on the spawn
ing beds near Sugar island thorough
fare. These Were stripped and the
eggs placed in the receptacles for them.
at the hatchery The work was very
successful and all the eggs will be pro-
cured this year that the force are able
to obtain. Eggs so secured are made
to produce much larger proportion
of Young fry than will result naturally
under the best possible conditions. This
has been repeatedly shown by the work
of the piscatorial commission.
