Finds Distractions.

In addition to its accuracy as a re-
cordcr the ma iOr's invented trolley
has another use still more valuable.
1t acts as cowcatchcr and fender
for all distractions to navigation.
These create great disturbance in
the profile sheet and the snag litter is
numbered and set to work. In one
instance the inventor showed an even
depth of water of about s feet. All
at once a Jump was made to feet
and then the Indicator dropped to s.
That meant that there was something
on the bottom.
The beat was tied up and Crap
ping hooks passed over the shallow
spot. y large log was brought up
which tiOated away. 70 make doubly
sure that all was right the pole was
again passed over the spot. Once more
it jumped from feet to 3 and then
drop to s. Once more the graphing
hooks were brought into use and an
other section of the tree was fished
up. A third time the sharp variation
in depth was noted. That time the
hooks brought up a large tree, roots,
branches. and all. \ fourth passage
showed an even depth and if was
known that the channel was freed
from three snags. where. under the
old method, all might have been miss
ed or only one removed.
The tackle CARED at the prov of
the Mackenzie is capable of lifting
about twenty tons. Often a tree, if
its roots and branches are attached,
or if it is sunk deeply in the mud or
sand, will prove too much Of load
for the tackle. In those cases eXplO-
SiveS are used. "ROck-a-rOck" is the
explosive used a compound which is
claimed to be 90 per cent as powerful
as dynamite and much less dangerous
to handle. Its ingredients are kept
separate untilit is required for use, and
then the mate mixes it up and pre-
pares the charge. Experience has
taught him the proper amount for the
work required, and short work is
made of any obstruction which proves
too obstinate for the block and tackle
of the powerful steam shovel.

Caldwell, Kas., in a northwesteTly de

two pyramidal or triangle tracts OF
land you cross as many streams and
tributaries of other streams capable of
supporting fine edible fish as you do in
the same amount of territory in any
other state between the Allegheny ana
Rocky mountains.
From the report Of the United states
fish commissioner after a careful exami-
nation of the typographical and geo
graphical conditions of Kansas he IS
led to pronounce Kansas one of the best
states in the union for the rearing ana
cultivating Of such game fish as arU
adapted to the waters of this climate.
And right here the question may be
asked, What kinds Of fish are adapted
and do well in the waters OF Kansas
The answer is. the large-mouth black
bass, small-mouth black bass. calico
bass, rock bass, sun perch or gOggle-eye.
and channel cat.
This has been demonstrated beyond
question for the reason that black bass
are now scattered very thinly, however. in
nearly all the streams Of Kansas Twelve
years ago it was discussed very learnedly
by some PSYCHOLOGISTS that the black bass
required such fine water and cold and
clear water only found In certain Of The
extreme northern states that they would
not become nSh Of general value in the
United States, that they could not be
reared and transpIanted successfuIlv this
has been demonstrated to be great error.
The black bass is found now some
to the Rocky mountains, clear along the
entire northern border Of the United
States, in nearly all the rivers and lakes in
northern Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky.
Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.

ing the fish and game industry of Kansas

The commercial value of this one va

$12, 600. When to this is added the value
of crappie and other varieties of fish
that are very rapidly coming into the
markets, the commercial Importance OF
this industry can be readily observed,
and it is fact that it was brought

Streams would be seined and small
fish not large enough for market would

to the streams where they could grow
and multiply.
During the last nine months State
Fish Warden Haughey, who was ap-
pointed in April, 1902 has visited all
of the principal streams of the state of
Kansas and has made an effort to stock
the streams of this state with the best
game fish and those adapted to this
climate.
He had obtained from the government
three carloads of black bass. crappie,
rock bass and rainbow trout, the rain
bow trout were put in q few places as
an experiment, and has purchased in all
about 80 600 and placed them in the va
tiers of Kansas. Hundreds of people
from every part of the state are inter
ested in having the streams properly
stocked with fish.
Since April, 1902, there has been re-
ceived and placed on file with the United
State fish commissioner something like
500 applications for fish for private
ponds lakes. and the different streams
in the state of Kansas. With the three
carloads that we were able to obtain
from the government and with what we
purchased we were able to supply be-
tween two and three hundred appli-
cants and there is now on file several

hundred applications that we have been
unable to fill as the government has not
been able to keep I'D with the demand.
Kansas obtained in 1902 one carload
more than any other state in the union
of the kinds of fish above mentioned
and two carloads more than the ma
iOrity of them. While the government
of the United States has 25 fish hatch
cries established in different parts of the
union there is probably only three or
four for the raising and cultivating of
the kinds OF fish above mentioned and
the government has been utterly unable
to supply the demand.
Kansas needs at the present time not
less than ten to fifteen carloads of fish
to properly stock the streams of Kansas
and with the resources of the govern
nent this cannot be done and not more
than three to four carloads year can
be obtained. The large and small mouth
black bass, calico bass. rock bass, crap

commissioner and a small pittance for
the purpose of buying fish.
The previous fish commissioners
worked earnestly and faithfully to stock
the streams with a first class variety
OF fish but with the small amount ap-
propriated they were unable to do very
much, they had to depend wholly upon
the supply they could obtain from the
United States government. This was
not certain. as the demand upon the
government from all the different states
kept increasing and Kansas was left out
in the cold.
AS a result of the earnest efforts of
the previous fish commissioners they

where all the varieties of sea fish and

Since the establishment of the fish

mentioned North Carolina alone shipped
$23 500 worth of black bass to the mar

was more than doubled. For the com

What Kansas needs is a fish hatchery

to this time is comparatively nothing.

From three to ten years ago Arkansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois, Da-
kota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana, OHIO, Pennsylvania, New York,
Virginia, North Carolina. Tennessee,
Florida, Colorado and Utah have taken
up the FISH industry and in nearly all
of these states have established state
hatcheries for the purpose of cultiVating
and raising the different varieties of FISH
that have been named as best adapted
to the waters of Kansas.
There is shipped annually to the mar
about 70, 900 pounds of black bass at an
average value of 10 cents per pound, add
to this the shipment of crappie, sun
perch, rock bass and channel cat and
you have that amount more than
double.
