CAR LOAD OF FISH
Caught at One Haul from Lake lcnox
in Cesha.

Parties coming in from Dumas re-
port most remarkable catch of fish
in Lenox Lake in Desha county yes
terday.
DIR. F. L. Connolly, who owns seine
which is forty feet deep and three
mile long, cast it in Lenox Lake and
at one haul caught twenty-five thous-
and pounds of buffalo, cat and drum
fish.
They were shipped to A. Booth, "a
st. Louis fish dealer. and made full
car load 1t is said that this dealer
puts them up in cans for the market
The seine used by DR.. Connolly is
the largest ever used in this state and
requires the services of a steam tug
to operate it. 1t has been used with
good results in a number of Lakes III
the Arkansas valley and furnished
amusement for several hundred people
upon each occasion.
The meshes of the seine are very
large. even larger than the fish laws
of the state stipulates, and it is claim
CQ Wy lCNSl VI lAC lOu c1lIu IAIlC I1dL
it is of great benefit to the game fish
to have this seine used as it rids the
lakes of the larger fish, such as shovel
billed cats, gars, buffalo, and others
who prey upon the small ones
DR.. Connolly has an engagement
with a party of sportsmen of this city
for some week this spring to cast the
seine in Clear Lake, one Of the great
est fishing resorts in Arkansas, and a
grand time is anticipated. Clear Lake
is alive with game fish and the buf
falos destroy their spawn and the gars
play havoc with the young; and it is
claimed that if this seine is cast in it's
waters a large number Of them will
be caught and destroyed.
It may seem remarkable that car
go of twenty-five thousand pounds of
fish could be caught at one haul with
a seine, but when you take into con-
sideration the enormity of the seine
and the facilities used for handling it
the story seems plausible At any
rate. if this story is doubted we refer
to the firm of A. Booth wholesale fish
dealers, of st. Louis, Mo-, Who bought
the cargo, to verify this statement.

The nomination OF DR.. d. V. Meikle-
john for representative on the Republi
can ticket gives great satisfaction to his
neighbors at Hotchkiss. While in at
tendance on the Railroad Day festivities
at Hotchkiss last Thursday we heard
nothing but good words for Mr.. Melkle-
john from townsmen OF both political
parties, and it is safe to say that he will
sweep his home precinct like whirl-
wind. But not only in his own neigh
borhood will he poll more than his party
strength but over the entire county his
nomination is received with satisfaction,
as there is an assurance with the doctor
IN the legislature the county will DO well

The Montrose Enterprise had severe
case OF culic last week over an article in
this paper couple OF weeks ago in re
lation to the defeat OF G. NJ. Hammond
for representative. We are still OF the
opinion then expires sed, and the Enter
prise may draw any conclusions it may
see fit The INDEPENDENT is the organ
Of no citizen or set Of politicians, is owned
by the publisher alone. and is free to
say without fear or favor what it may
believe to be right. But we would ask
in future to be correctly quoted. We
have never on any occasion accused Mr..
Hammond OF being salesman" of any
kind, not even of selling his vote while
a member OF the Legislature, and yet we
are made to say that he was "2x4 sales

A Coed Man.

BY selecting DR.. D. v. Meiklejohn as
the Republican candidate for Represent

hard work, made his life II success al

Not only is he popular in his home town

better opportunity than now offered
in the candidacy OF DR.. Meiklejohn.

the boys had secured some. when young
Brashear's gun got cartridge stuck iD
it. The three boys were together at the
time and Brashear sat down to release
the stuck cartridge. While working at
it Whitelaw passed in front OF the gun

The Democratic convention OF Delta
county played the part Of base ingrate
in refusing to give Mead Hammond a
re. nomination to the Legislature. No
member OF the legislature was more
mindful and watchful OF the interests
OF his constituency and neighborhood.
The credit for frat evolving the move
ment for the Gunnison tunnel, and th en-
giving the movement Impetus and fore
ing it into recognition, belongs to Mr..
Hammond. No statute enacted in the
history of the Western Slope is Of so
much importance to that section or will
rebound so greatly to it's progress an l
prosperity as will this tunnel act. Even
though the state should drop the enter.
prise cold today. the attention Of the
National government drawn to Montroee
and Delta counties through the agita-
ton of and enactment OF the tunnel
bill, assures the completion Of the enter
prise and incalculable benefit to that
district. The least the benefciaries Of
Mr.. Hammond's zeal could have done
would have been to respect his request
for a renomination without dissenting

TUNNEL SURVEY COMPLETED

A. l.. Fellows, photographer in charge
OF the government survey here. was in
town Saturday He told our reporter
that the survey outfit was brought out
OF the canon Saturday, it being a very
difficult task The outfit had been low
cred into the canon, and in making the
survey Mr.. Fellows and his men used a
canvas boat. going down stream to do
the work. When it was completed the
outfit had to be taken down the river to
Red Rock, where it was packed out.
The trip was ticklish business. the boat
was upset once, and some swift rapids
were passed in the decent. However
the trip was finally accomplished. One
trip must now be made into the canon,
and the field work there is done. The
crew of men spent the first Of the week
at work triangulating over the hill and
measuring up.
The next step is to ascertain facts
with regard to the available land in the
valley, and for this purpose the land
Office plats and plats in the assessors
office will be used. supplemented with
the field work. The question OF how
much land there is to be irrigated by
water from the Gunnison is the ques-
ton now.
Mr.. Fellows made a measu rement Of
the water in the Gunnison and found
GOO cubic feet per second running
through the canon. He thinks the very
lowest water has not less than 400 feet
at any time. and that for but few days.
In his opinion there is ample water in
the river to water all the land needing
water in the valley .-Montrose Enter
