We put in a few hours duck
shooting over on the Missouri
bottom Saturday evening. The
shooting was good, but as we
frequently blazed away at
ducks one-fourth to a half
mile distant it resulted in quite
a loss of shells. 1t seems to us
that the correct system would
be to plant a cannon out in the
rushes, with a range Of three OF
four miles, then a fellow would
stand some show. What ducks
we took into camp cost us a
trife less than three. dollars
each, which is considered a
pretty fair average. Twiner.

BIG PAINTING CONTRACT
BEGUN AT NEW SHOPS

The contract for painting the iu-
terror of the buildings and the wood
work at New Shops has been award
ed To II. G.. Albright. 1t is the biggest
job of the sort that has been under
taken in these parts for some time
Work has been commenced and Mr..
Albright says there is enough in sight
to keep his gang busy two solid
years. The woodwork will he paint
ed dark green and it is estimated that
of the woodwork alone there is sur
face to be covered amounting in the
aggregate to two and half acres.
1t is figured that in order to cover
this space it will be necessary for
one of the big brushes the painters
use to travel a distance of 443 miles.
This IS not the largest part of the
contract. however, for the interior of
the buildings is to be whitevashed
throughout and this will be done
with sPra wing machine.
Some of the carpenters who have
been employed at New Shops say that
43 of them quit work Wednesday
night on account of failure To agree
with Il boss that had been put over
them. The bosses, on the other hand.
say that about fifteen men were let
go because they were dissatisfied and
that the size of the force had not
been materially reduced, others hav-
ing been hired in their places.

CANAL CASE WILL BE
TAKEN TO HIGHER COURTS

1t is likely that the effort to pre-
vent the use of the appropriation for
the Illinois * Michigan canal will be
continued by Representative Richard
+. Burke, of Chicago, and others, in
spite of the outcome of the case at
Springfield yesterday, i'll which Judge
Creighton dissolved the Injunction
that had been secured in this connec-
ton. As the order was made during
vacation of the court it was impossi-
BILE to prosecute an appeal. but as the
September term of court notice was
given that the matter will he brought
up again. Judge Creighton. after
rendering his decision, expressed the
opinion that the matter was one that
should be carried up to the supreme
court as soon as possible so that the
point at issue might be definitely de-
cided
In giving his decision Judge Creigh-
ton said: AS To the questions dis
cusscd, | am of opinion that the court
has jurisdiction. | am also Of opin-
ion that no such contractual relations
exist between the state OF Illinois and
the United States as would make il

The difficult question is to deter

While | am of the opinion that neither
the relations of the state with the
United States nor the constitution of
the state make it mandatory upon the
general assembly to appropriate
money from the state treasury for
the purpose of maintaining the canal

TAKE OFF A TRAIN
That Seems to be Intention in
Regard to the Peoria
Branch.
THE ROCK ISLAND TO ECONOMIC
Recent Increase of Wage Scale May
Have Something TO Do
With IL.

Following the announcement of the
granting of the demands of the con-
ductors and trainmen on the part of
the Rock Island road comes a report
that two of the trains on the Peoria
branch are to be withdrawn through
motives of economy on the part of
the management of the system. One
of the trains said to be slated for OBJ
livion is No. 1913, arriving here at $3.50
i'll the evening from Peoria. As to
the eastbound train there is some
question as to whether it will be No.
l04, leaving Rock Island at 1:45 p. M,
or No. 100, leaving here at 7:20 p. IN.
Whether the agitation on the part
of the employees for higher wages has
had anything to do with it or not does
not appear. but it is known that the
removal of one of the trains each way
between this city and Peoria has
been discussed for the past two years.
1t will still leave two trains each way
daily. The company will probably
meet with Il vigorous remonstrance.
not only from this locality, but from
other parts of the system if the poll
cy of economizing is carried out to
the limit.
All DO Good Business.
The local agents report Il good bus
mess on all of the Peoria trains and
| claim to be at a loss to account for
| the prospective action of the road.
Speaking of rumors that some of
the main line trains were to be re
moved. local official characterized
| them as idle and stated that the man
agement had no intention whatever
of taking off any through or local
trains on the main lines of the Illinois
and Iowa divisions. He is of the opin-
ion it is only along the smaller branch
lines that any pruning is to be done,

Title for the State Hatchery
at Last Approved.
Will Be Located Near the Town
Of Pratt.
MUCH WORK is DONE.
Commissioner Travis Distrib-
ute's 5000 Fish in Month.
Work of Stocking Kansas
Streams to Be Pushed.

Attorney General Coleman has at last
approved the abstract of title to the
ate for the state fish hatchery near
Pratt and work will begin on the hatch
cry in a short time. The abstract was
made out some time ago but it was
deficient in some particulars, and Mr..
Coleman refused to approve it until it
was completed.
The law creating the state fish hatch
cry provides for an appropriation of ST.
600 for buildings and equipment for the
hatchery, but it specifies that tract
of at least five acres must first be deed
ed TO the state for the site free of cost.
Getting the title to the site Strengthened
out is what has delayed the construc-
ton of the hatchery.
Meanwhile Del Travis, state fish war
den, is busy distributing fish for stock
ing Kansas streams. He furnishes the
hsh to the deputy wardens in cans con-
tanning 400 fish each. and the cans are
emptied into the streams.
I have been working down near Med
feline Lodge and Harper the last week,
said Mr. Travis in speaking of the sub
tect They are pretty well stocked down
that way now. 1 have been out about
a month this trip and have distributed
about 5000 fish. The state is too large
for one man to get over as he should
and the appropriation made is too small
to permit of very extensive work
The fish which we are distributing
are largely crappie, a species of bass
that grows we'll in the fresh water of
Kansas. If people will let them alone
and not seine them out the streams Will
be well stocked in a short time. They
grow and multiply fast. The state buys
them from a private hatchery in Reno
county Last week a fish car from
Nebraska came down and purchased
$4,000 fish of the crappie species for use
in that state.
"All the fish the state gets from the
hatchery are counted. Every one of
those which went to Nebraska last
week were counted. The ponds are
arranged so that the water can be
drawn off. The fish are dipped up when
the water gets low and counted as they
are transferred from the ponds Count
ing them is not so tedious as one who
never saw it done would think
work will begin on the state hatch
cry at Saratoga in a short time. In
fact we will go to work just as soon as
I can get at it. and finish it up before
we stop. Kansas will then be in bet
ter shape to stock it's streams. as we
will then raise our own fish, and now we
have TO buy them of a private hatch
