TO AID FIsHERxEN. .
Game Warden Says Must be Free
Fishing.

Fishing.
"Will the public be allowed 70 fish
In all parts Of all streams and lakes
whore nsh arc placed ?"
Game And Fish Commissioner Wood
ard had the above question inserted
In all the application blanks for young
trout to be palced IN streams. From
now on any person or corporation se-
curing young trout from the state tish
hstchsries must agree to allow the
public to fish free in the streams
which flow through their lands or Mr..
Woodland will not give them any
trout.
1T may be the law that . man
can't wade up the bed Of . stream and
fish, no difference who owns the land
on either side.'' said Game Commits.
sioner Woodland. bnt II the supreme
court SAYS he can't do that then say
the stream won't get any Of the young
trout unless the land owners along
the streams agree to allow public
fishinR."
As soon a. the supreme court sus-
tail ed its former decision yesterday
Mr.. Woodland sent q requisition
through its regular channels asking
to have new set of application blanks
printed. He got them. All persons
securing fry or trout of the state fish
hatchery must make application to
Mr.. Woodland for the sans and he
has the sole distribution of them and
to large extent controls the distri-
button of the trout and fry oontribut.
ed by the United States governments.
He proposes to see that these fish.
which belong to the public. are
placed in the streams along which the
land owners will allow public fishing.
1t 10 known that fish do not travel
far after being placed in stream
the therefore Mr.. Woodland can con-
troll the fishing places of the state II
he maintains this position.
The position taken by the fish and
game commissioner will deal body
blow to several corporations that have
leased land along the streams Of the
state for the purpose Of renting fishing
privileges thereon, as they will not
receive any fry unless they allow free
fishing. Since the supreme court
rendered its decision some months ago
miles upon miles Of stream banks
have been leased in various parts Of
the state. Already the signs "No
fishing allowed" are to be seen along
almost every good fishing stream.
Mr.. Woodard's position will compel
those signs to come down. the owners
thereof to announce public fishing,
or else the owners will be compelled
to build their own fish hatoheries and
raise their own fry.
In discussing the matter today Mr..
Woodard stated that " q ranohman
asks for = shipment Of fry to be plao.
ed In . stream which flows through
his ranch be will see to 1t that the
ranohmen on either side, to the dis.
tanoe the fish would travel. must
agree to allow free fishing before the
trout will be shipped.

has not been located. She left Flor.

her and Manning was that the young

A HomecrOn Garden,

The Homecroft Movement is grow

newspapers are editorially advocating
the idea that every family, though
living in the city, ought to have a
garden. A reader of Maxwell IS
HOMEMAKER MAGAZINE, in
Westbranch, Iowa, sends us the fol
lowing editorial clipped from the Des
Moines Daily News, which is so fully
in harmony with what this magazine
stands for that we take pleasure in
reproducing the same. The editor of
the News says:
A little garden, If properly cared
for, will save the city dweller many
dollar.
But that is by no means the chiefest
good Even If he has more money
than he knows what to do with he
will still find rich profit in welding
the spade and hoe for exercise. And
the rarest pleasure comes from follow.
| ing the primal instincts of nature.
1t is not alone the plants and flowers
we long for.
An inner something impels is to put
our hands at work in the earth, to
battle our bodies in the sunshine and
to open our souls in devotion to things
that are not gross, but sweet aud
pure.
To be pitied is 1 man who does
not drink in with delight t. e fragrance
of the flowers after having breathed
all day the stencil of a city, and who
does not learn a lesson from the noise
less, orderly, benefcent processes of
nature that are constantly going on
around him.
Every city dweller who has bit OF
ground ought to have a garden.
1t may be only five feet square, but
he can plant it in green peas, succulent
onions, radishes or lettuce, and still
find room for a flower or two to Lnrow
a little color and little fragrance into
his life
There are any reasons, economical,
physical. esthetic and moral, why
every man should be his own gar
