THE CARP MUST GO.

Work Commenced on Lake Koshkonong.
The fish and game warden has COM
tracted with G. K. Freer of Sandusky,
Ohio, an expert, to clean the carp out
of the Wisconsin lakes and Monday with
seine nearly mile long, the work was
begun at Lake Koshkonong. When this
lake has been cleaned attention will be
given to the Madison lakes. Mr.. Freer
and Deputy Nelson were at the lake
Sunday and left Monday morning early
for the head of the lake where the work
was to commence.
1t is theory of many fishermen and
duck hunters that the carp is RESPONSE
BILE for running the sport on this lake, by
burrowing and destroying the wild Gel
cry on which the canvas back ducks
feed and eating the spawn of other fish.
This theory has been denied by many
and the late Gen. E. E. Bryant, presi-
dent Of, the state fish commission, last
summer came to the defense of the carp,
denying many of the charges made
against it.
Mr.. Freer will pay the salary and ex-
penses of wardens in supervising the
work and also 81 ton for the carp. No
fish game will be injured as the nets are
to be cleaned out at depth of two or
three feet The carp will be put in live
boxes and shipped to New York while
the garfish and dogfsh taken will be
ANONYMOUSLY slain and buried. The
seine will be 300 feet long, IA to 16 feet
wide and of four-inch mesh which will
permit the escape OF smaller fish. A
big local crew will be necessary TO assist
in the work. Lake Koshkonong is very
shallow lake and a thorough job is ex-
pected here. Mr.. Freer says the carp is
an exceedingly intelligent fish and the
plan used is to SOW grain in the bottom
Of the lake which. when sprouted, will
attract all the fish of this kind. Mr..
Freer expects to get three carloads
week at Koshkonong.
Something more than hand power it
was found was needed to pull as large
seine and Mr. Freer was compelled to
hunt for a steam yacht which be OBJ
tanned at GAINESVILLE of Mr. Bucklolz.
Wednesday Mr.. Freer had a crew Of men
at work getting the boat ever the dam
at Indian Ford and only succeeded at a
late hour in landing the craft in the up
per level Early yesterday morning the
boat and crew went up the river into the
lake and the first real operations of fish
gathering on wholesale scale was COM
menced.

A Birthday Surprise.

MIR. Wallace S. Brown, cashier of the
Tobacco Exchange bank, was greatly
surprised man Friday evening when he
returned from a visit to a neighbor to
find about sixty gentlemen friends in
possession of his home. The affair had
been SO carefully prepared by his wife
that Mr.. Brown had not the slightest
suspicion that his 10th birthday was to
be remembered. After Mr.. Brown had
recovered his composure over the intru-
sion, Prof Clark, in behalf Of the friends
assembled presented him with beauti-
full gold watch as a remembrance Of the
occasion. The evening was pleasantly
passed playing progressive cinch until
the cards were laid aside for the serving
of an appetizing supper. The best of
good fellowship prevailed until the hour
Of departing came when all wished Mr..
Brown many returns Of the day.

g riculture: Our students actually
cultivate every day seven hundred
acres of land while studying agricul-
ture The students studying dairying
actually milk and care for seventy-five
milch cows daily. Besides, they, of
course, take care of the dairy pro-
ducts All of this is done while learn
ing the industry of dairying. The
whole number of students receiving in
struction in the division of agriculture
and dairying the past year is one hun
dred and forty-two.
The students who are receiving
training in farming have cared for six
hundred and nineteen head of hogs
this year; and so / could go on and
give, not theory, not hearsay, but ac-
tual facts, CLEANED from all the depart
ments of the school.
1t does not look reasonable that of
ell the large number of students en-
gagged upon the farms and in the dairy
that only about one per cent. should
make any practical use of their knowl-
edge after leaving Tuskegee. But this
is not the fact. The same is true of
an institution. Let us take, for ex-
ample, Macon county, Alabama, in
which the Tuskegee Institute is 10
Gated. By a careful investigation it
is found that there are not less than
thirty-ive graduates and former stu
dents in Macon county and the town
of Tuskegee alone, who are working
at trades and industries which they
learned at this institution. At the
present time a large two-story brick
building is going up in the town of
Tuskegee that is to be used as a store.
In the first place, the store is owned
by & graduate of this institution From
hn liz 0f I'll
of all the details of this building, the
work is being done by graduates or
former students of this school; and
so the examples could be multiplied.
Following the graduates and former
students into the outer world. the
record is as follows: A careful exami
nation shows that at least three
fourthS of them are actually using
during the whole time. or a part of
the time, the Industrial knowledge
they gained here. Even those who do
not use this knowledge in making a
living use it as housekeepers in their
private homes, and those who teach in
the public schools, either directly or
indirectly, use it in helping their pu-
pills,
Aside from all that 1 have said. it
must be kept in mind that the whole
subject of industrial training on anv
large and systematic scale is new. and
besides, is confined to a very few in
st1tutions in the South. Industrial
training could not be expected to rev
oluuonize the progress of a race within
ten or fifteen years. At the present
Tune the call for graduates from this
institution TO take positins as instruc-
tors of industries in other smaller in
dustrial branches of various schools be-
comes supplied, a still larger percent
age of graduates will use their knowl-
edge of the trades in independent oc-
cupations."

Further Legislation Necessary for the
 Protection oi Forest Reserves.

The decision handed down on Friday last by the supreme court of the terri tory in the case of John Dent, appel lant, vs. The United States. appellee. emphasizes the necessity of further leg islation by congress for the protection of the forest reserves. In the Dent case the appellant, defendant below. had been arrested and tried in the district court for driving his sheep into forest reserves from which sheep had been ex- cluded by order of the secretary of the interior. An agreed case was made for the supreme court, judgment being rendered against the defendant. and under a stipulation the issues tried in that case were to govern in all the cases then pending.
 The decision of the supreme court in effect is that while the secretary of the interior has control of the forest re- serves and has power to make regula- tions for their protection, he cannot en- force these regulations to the extent of imposing fines or other penalties In other words, if sheep men invade the inhibited forest reserves with thei, sheep, the secretary may drive the sheep out, and keep driving them out, but he cannot punish the man or men who do the trespassing. This decision is in harmony with recent de- cisions of the supreme courts of Utah and Washington, but according to dis patches of a week or so ago, is con- trary to a decision of the supreme court of California
 It now becomes necessary. of course for congress itself to provide penalties under the federal criminal code for vic, lation of the regulations made by the secretary of the interior, and there can be no doubt that congress at it's next session will thus remedy the defect ir the existing law concerning forest re,- ervations.
 It is unfortunate for the agricultur-
Arizona republican., 1903-03-22

al sections of Arizona, and especially can be no adequate protection for the forest reserves until the department of | justice is clothed with power to prose cute and punish trespassers upon the l reserves. It is only desired. so far as l this region is concerned, that fiocks and herds be excluded from the portions of reserves which cover out watersheds.
 AS to the other portions, it is a matter for the secretary of the interior and
 the sheep men. The department has shown no disposition to take drastic
 measures against the sheep industry.
 and under mild restrictions sheep are
 re~lnitted to range on the reservations which do rot drain into the irrigated valleys The sheep are restricted mere ly as to number, and it is to the interest of the sheepmen themselves that there
 be such restrictions; otherwise over
 stocking Of the ranges would soon work the practical ruin of the sheep industry. As to the advisability of conserving the water supply through Dreservatio tion
 of the forests, there is no longer any
 question. The Mississippi floods which
 are now devastating the south furnish
 an instructive object lesson. These
 floods are becoming more destructive
 each year. simply because the forests
 and undergrowth covering the upper
 reaches of the Mississippi, the Missouri
 and the Arkansas are becoming more
 and more desuded. The ground is
 drained rapidly after rains. and high
 floods are followed by extremes Of low
 water Owing to these extreme fi~ctua-
 tions, tine Mississippi is no longer
 navigaple stream for commercial pur- poses, except during a few months of the year. and the Missouri long ago
 ceased to be Of any benefit to com- merce. And in our own territory. the disastrous results which have followed the destruction Of vegetation on our watersheds are disputed by no intelH- gent person.

The Referendum in Municipal
 Franchises,

By an act of the late legislature, the referendum principle will govern here after in the granting of municipal franchises for public utilities. No board of councilnen can grant a franchise until the same has been ap- proved by the voters of the municipal ity.
 It is a law which comments itself to every fair-rninded citizen It is seldom. indeed, that the question of granting 9 franchise is before the people when councilmen are elected. They are elected on political issues. or on other issues of general nature, and when it becomes necessary for them to pass upon applications for franchises they can truthfully say that they have no means of knowing exactly what their constituents want. The honest council man, after hearing clamor from both sides, must be governed by his own judgment, which may be at fault; and the grafter is governed by the ma zuna.'' As a result, the people therc- selves have no decisive voice in the transaction.
 If every state in the union had such a law as this new statute of ours, mu- nicipal corruption would be reduced to a minimum. Nine-tenths of the scan- dals connected with city governmen, grow out of the granting or extension of franchises. The referendum princi- pie as to franchises makes for the pro- lection of honest capital as much as for the protection of the people. 4 pasa has been reached in American cities from the big to the little. where no franchise, no matter how meritorious can be obtained except after seeing the grafters-either corrupt counciimen cal leaders who control weak council men. 4 corporation of honest citizens seeking a franchise to make some greatly needed improvement, can sell dom get permission to make the pro- posed investment until thrifty politi- clans have been duly seen The municipal highwayman makes no dis tinction; all is fair game that comes into his net, and he works his hold-ur on the just and the unjust alike.
 Honest and deserving municipal enterprises never have cause to fear the judgment of the people if there be op- portunity for full discussion before action, and a popular election will never result adversely to projects that are deserving. And as for the other kind. power under the new law is now lodged where it belongs-with the peo- pie who pay the taxes.
