Senator Spooner told story the other

Senator Van Wyck, OF Nebraska, fig

CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor

wants n Fish HATCHERY.

State Fish Commissioner Haughey.
In his annual report says: There
is no question but that the waters of
Kansas are remarkably well adapted
for the raising of black bass, rock
bass, crappie, channel cat and sun
perch, and if the state will appropri-
ate sufficient money to establish a
fish hatchery every stream in few
years can be well supplied with fine
food fish. A hatchery should be es-
tablished beyond all question. The
government already has established
IS hatcheries, and is expanding mil
IONS every year to promote the fish
industry"
