few ana the proposed auto club would have
a large influence in regulating the speed
of flyers by imposing fines upon members
when caught speeding. 1t seems from the
line that faced Judge Berka Thursday that
the Few" speedy ones have grown until
nearly a score were caught, besides those
who were not caught.
Money stu continues to pour into the
treasury for the construction Of the Omaha
Rod and Gun club house and the contract
will be let soon, so that It may be occupied
yet this season. The high waters seemed
TO give an impetus TO the work of selling
stock in the construction association which
will build the house and the directors are
pleased with the way that the money has
come in. Although CORTLAND Beach had to
close last week while the water was UP the
directors Of the club have no fear for
their new house since the high waters do
not stay long with US. No one was more
active than the members Of the club in
striving to protect the FISH in the lake
during the recent rise and all are pleased
with the success Of their work. Deputy
Pierson is authority for the statement that
the fishing in the lake will be better than
ever because Of the fresh water which has
run in with the fish that accompanied it.

The raging waters of the Missouri have
subsidized and the waters of Manawa and
! Cut-Cff lakes have received their annual
! freshening. Although there was consider
able apprehension at first because of the
probability Of the game FISH leaving the
waters through the channels by which the
water was pouring into the lakes, this fear
was removed after the movement Of the
fish had been watched for some time. Dep
uty Warden Pierson decided, after watch
ing the fish for some time, that the bass
did not intend to leave the clearer water OF
the lake. where there was plenty of moss
for the dirtier and rushing water of the
Big Muddy. Screens were purchased to be
used in case of an emergency to retain the
fish within the lake, but It was decided
that these would not be needed. Some Of
the smaller bass have run into the sloughs
around Cut-Off. and Game Warden Carter
who was in the city Wednesday, has auth
oriZed the local authorities, at the expense
of the state, to sein the sloughs and to re
turn the fish to the bigger lake before the
water disappears and kills the Ash

One of the most interesting races Of
the season was sailed on Lake ManawS
last Sunday, when the Manawa, second

place. Owing to the high water, the sur
face of the lake was raised nearly siJ
feet, spreading over bars and islands tC
its arbored shores, until the so-called 'muC
pond had quietly assumed the dignit!
of a pretty inland lake. The judges &C
cordingly took advantage of the unusua
conditions and laid out novel course
charging the boats to sail to the soutl
buoy and return around the island, finish
ing in front of the club house. Enteret
for the race were the Argo, Andover
Priscilla and Manawa The Priscilla

closely by the Argo, while the Manaw;
