FISH OF THE GREAT LAKES

The great staples OF the commercial
fishing industry are whitefish, pike. her
ring. sturgeon and lake trout They
form the biggest catches and are always
salable. The CHIEF source of supply of
one or another OF these staples is the
great lakes and the lakes OF the Cana
dian Northwest Lake Erie Is one OF the
best fresh water fish producing bodies in
the hands OF the industry. one authority
states A. produces nearly as much ton
mage OF FISH a year as all the other great
lakes together That is not because there
are more FISH in Lake Erie, but because
il is hshed more.
one OF the most desirable FISH taken
from the waters of the great lakes is
the whitefish. and Lake Erie whitefsh is
the standard for all OF that species. The
quality OF fish depends upon the nature
OF the water IT inhabits. There are prob
ably score OF different kinds OF white
fish known 10 commerce, the differentia-
ton being IN color and shape. II a white
fish from Lake Erie and one from the
Lake OF the Woods were placed together
the ordinary observer wouldn't believe
they were OF the same family. The white
FISH from the Lake Of the Woods is black
alongside the silver-sided denizen OF
Lake Erie. Those from Lake Winnipeg
have a reddish tint. 4 glance at a
whitehsh will reveal TO an expert the
locality in which IL was caught. But
while the best white1sh came from
from Canadian lakes.
Most Of the supply OF lake trout is found
in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron and Lake
Superior. There are practically no trout
In Lake Erie. and there is none in the
larger Canadian lakes. a large supply Of
yellow pike and pickerel is caught in
the Canadian lakes. yellow pike is not
abundant IN Lake Erie. while blue pike
Is not found outside OF Lakes Erie and
Ontario. Lake Erie contains the large
supply. Many or the large catches OF
fish made in Lake Erie about Buffalo are
OF blue pike The herring in Lake Erie
are the standard OF quality for all the
other lakes. and are finer and better
F. than any others. II is said TO be the only
kind OF herring that closely resembles
the whitehsh. It's weight has increased
lately, many OF two pounds being caught
By the eye the large herring can scarce
ly be distinguished from the ordinary
whitefish. but the davor Of course, is not
the same.
The development OF the sturgeon as a
great article OF commerce is one OF the
most interesting stories connected with
the fish Industry. Fifteen years ago stur-
geon sold for % cents apiece. One female
sturgeon sold for SIS the other day The
value placed on the sturgeon for it's eggs
Is familiar 20 all. but the flesh now too
sells up with that Of other Staple fish
Il brings 10 cents pound fresh. while
the smoked article sells al a much high
er price. Smoked sturgeon is now consid-
cred one OF the best FISH delicacfes on
the market. and almost all OF that
caught is prepared in that way. The eggs
OF the sturgeon bring 30 cents a pound
20 the fisherman. They are made into
caviar. The bladder sells for 81 pound
and is used FOR isinglass.-B Ex-

A MILD CASE

OF Contagious Blood Poison never
existed 1t IS always bad, thougf1,some-
times no external symptoms of the dis

Because the disease Is slow in devel-

mild one, for the poisonous virus at

spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for
external signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore Is quickly followed
by painful sweliings in the groins, red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly cop

eyebrows, and other symptoms of this
miserable disease. When the poison is

Is the National league going to
start a fight against the Pacific Coast
league? Judging by the action the
,magnates took in New York before
adjourniug it looks that way. Presi-
dent Pulliam was instructed to rule
to declare Ineligible any player who
jumps a contract with any league a
party to the national agreement
Translated. this means that any
player who deserts an eastern club
next season to play on The coast will
be put on a blacklist aIf this rule
il eventually adopted it will be en-
forced TO the limit. 1t will, be recalled
that the minor leagues declared last
spring that they would blacklist
players who did not return to their
respective clubs on or before n GER
tain date. The edict was regarded
q war measure. but not a player was
frightened by 1t. It remains to be
seen what effect the new rule, II
adopted. will have. In addition to
this the magnates decided to lengthen
the baseball season. This will not
allow the teams OF the two major
leagues who win the pennants to play
for the championship OF the world
The board decided that each club
shall plays154 games with each other
club. instead of 140 games. as was
called for In last seasons schedule.
The schedule. committee will try to
so arrange the schedule that each
club will have enough of days so
that postponed games will not be
played on the same day with
scheduled games.
The season will omen about April

Some of them were 80 very old they
are getting new to this generation.
Well these fellows went on talking

something that came near causing me
to burst my insides. 1t was done un-
