LAKE MINNETONKA

Ii
The fisherman is monarch at the lake now: and
everything bends toshim. He keeps sSthe mail
bags burdened and the telephone wires busy
with his inquiries about beats and bait and
particularly about frogs. The lively amphibans
tnat cannot be dispensed With by the bass fisher
men are occnsioning him all kinds Of worry, for
they are diffcnltsto obtain at any price. The
former marshes in which the frog hunters get
about with ease are now ponds only traversible
In boats and frogs are not captured in that
way Not only Is there this hfndrance, but the
unreasonable cold weather seems to have killed
off the frogs. AT least that is the way the
East Side Fishing club explains the loss OF
80 dozen frogs which they had gathered up
preparatory to the opening of the bass season.
The club is made up of twenty enthusiastic deyo-3
tees Of the line and rod and the quarters on
Spray island We're equipped with everything
Eeedful for several days of royal sport as soon
as the open season began. The members felt per-
fectly easy in their minds about the frog famine,
for We're they not carefully and fully supplied.
Alas, they did not count upon the freaks of ma
ture and of the large supply none remained
worth spea king of at the last moment and the
chesty clnbmen had to hunlbly sue for the favor
of purchasing a: new supply of frogs wherever
they might be found.
The season did not open brilliantly due to a
combination of uHfayorable conditions The sea-
son has been cold and the very high water
makes 1t practically Impossible to locate with
accuracy the reefs along which the bass are
wont to lie and then there is also the additional
possibility that the bass under the new condt-
lions may have found new haunts.
There are two kinds of fishermen, those who go

CITY NEWS.
WAY THRU THE LAW
Bassett's Creek Diversion May Be
Effected Under State
Ditching Law.
County Must ACT if Petitioned by
Citizens Who Would Be
Assessed.

It appears possible that the diverting of
Bassetts creek thru Lakes Harriet and
Calhoun and Minnehaha creek may be
done under state law. Under the state
law the county could be compelled to dig
the ditch, if it was shown to be a benefit
to the property holders along the creek.
The cost Of the work would be paid by
the persons benefited. The city in gen.
eral would be relieved of all expense ex-
cept what might be assessed against the
park board for its share of the benefits.
Hundreds Of bitches have already been,
built especially in the Red river valley,
according to the latest ditching law. The
law provides that any person or persons
interested, who would be liable for assess
ment, can petition the county auditor,
stating the necessity Of drainage and
where the ditch should start and where
empty. Then the county commissioners
shall appoint an engineer who shall make
a careful and accurate survey, decide
whether the ditch is feasible, and present
an estimate of the cost. Next the county
commissioners shall appoint three disin-
terested viewers, who shall estimate the
damages and benefits and assess the bene-
fits to the property benefited. If. from
the report Of the viewers, the benefits are
found to be equal to the estimated dam
age, the commissioners shall order the
construction of the ditch. They must ad-
vertise and let the contract for the work
and must assess the land benefited ac-
cording to the viewers report. The cost
of the ditch and the attendant expenses
are payable in equal .installments annually
for ten years, and the assessment is first
lien on the land.
This law seems to be practicable for the
Bassett's creek ditch. It will cost the city
nothing, except that, If the park board
is benefited by the fact that the ditch
would raise the water in Lake Calhoun,
Lake Harriet and Minnehaha creek, the
board could be assessed in proportion.
If there is any considerable amount Of
land now overlowed or threatened that
could be made permanently dry ground
by the construction Of this ditch, the
benefits alone would pay the entire ex-
pense.
