THE BLACK BASS
A cAMEy FISH
Are Plentiful in the Mountain
Streams Of West virxinia-The
Bass Is as 0amey as the Trout

A. L. Taylor, who started the move
ment to get the Arkansas river stocked
with black bass, has great faith in the
proposition.
He says he has fished for black bass
in the mountain streams Of West yir-
ginia that were very similar to the Ar
kansas, fully a. swift and as muddy.
The black bass is fine game fab.
equal in every respect to the mountain
trout. In fact. It is stated By those
who have caught both kinds, that .
two-pound black bass will put up bet
ter fight than almost any other kind Of
. fish.
At the present time shout the ouly
thing found in the Arkansas 10 the
sucker. When this sucker gets essab-
lisl,ed he will keep out mos. other
kinds Of fish, but the young bess h too
swift for him. As soon ~ the bass b.
gins to get any sise they will drive the
sucker from the river, ~ the black bass
is the natural enemy OF the sucker ana
will clean them out.
You use much the same bait assd
tactics in fishing for bass as for front
II the Arkansas Is stocked this year
there ought to be good fishing here in
about three years.
Geo. NJ. Bower. commissioner Of the
United States fisheries, has promised
Mr. Taylor that he will appropriate q
great number of small black hess for
this section this season.

r. !semedy For Railway Accidents

The enormous casualty list in rail.
way accidents last year has been gen,
orally set down as the fault of railway
employees. Negligence and habitual
disregard of rules are the chief offenses
pointed out. This leads the Engineer
Ing Magazine to say:
+ 'e only way by which the disregard of
sig us ana rules can be prevented is by
ma ilng 1t physically impossible. The en-
ginecr must have no discretion as 70
whether he will stop or run past a block
signal. he must be stopped by a mechan-
lcal device the release Of which is beyond
his control.
me Introduction of such devices Is mot
difficult or impracticabie, and there are
numerous methods by which they NAV he
EFFECTIVELY employed. The deraiinp
switch Is well known, and no engineer
VINO realizes that the passage of a blocl,
signal means the ditching of his train
VIII willingly run into such a certainty
ms however, is not sufficient, as the
engineer may not even realize that the
signal Is set against him. The setting of
the block signal should also set his
brakes automatically for him, if he dis
ooeys the warning, and hold him ignomin-
lousIy stalled until he is released by the
opening of the block. The rear protection
may be equally controlled by setting a
Trip Tor the operation of any following
train which may approach within the dan
ger limit. and thus the element of dis
erection be wholly eliminated.
The operator in the signal tower now
shoulders all the responsibility in train
operation, and experience proves that
the system is all right. 1t will be
step in advance to make it impossible
tor a train to pass block signal and
Tor a second train in the rear to reach
the danger line.
