GERMANS AS COLONIzERS.

Germany is making herself solid in
various quarters. The American Con-
sui at Dalny, Manchuria, sends the fol-
lowing report of the manner in which
the Germans run the town of Tsingtau,
which is under their control:
Tsingtau boasts a number of hotels
where one may find suitable quarters
with good food from $50 to SIS gold a
month. There is a fine beach hotel
located at the bathing beach, where
many of the visitors from neighborins
ports go during the heated term.
Germany maintains a garrison at
Tsingtau and many of the surrounding
hills are fortified. Long distance gun
practice takes place every day.
The authorities have been conducting
a department of forestry since their
occupation, with the result that the
barren hills of a few years go are now
covered with young forests. Millions
of young trees have been set out and
the work has been taken up by the
Chinese. who are planting trees them
selves under the supervision of the
German authorities.
just outside the city the Germans
have built a village for the Chinese.
1t is a model of its kind. with broad

ton. A fine market space is set aside
and here the farmers come every day
to display and sell their wares.
The health Of the city is always good.
Strict hygienic methods are enforced
by the Naval Governor of the city. The
city is surrounded with beautiful
drives and everything bears evidence OF
the strictest care.
Recently the Germans have opened a
European school and Europeans for
many miles around take advantage of
the excellent course of training and
send their children to Tsingtau.

WILL HAVE PIKE ROUNDUP.
Minnesota Fish and Game Commits
sion Will Gather Eggs of
the Fish.

Tower, Minn.-Executive Agent S. f.
Fullerton, of the state fish and game
commission, and his crew of ~ men
now are in camp at Pike River falls and
all preparations have been made for
gathering pike eggs. They are camped
below the falls of Pike river, which
flows into Lake Vermilion, and are
about six miles from Tower.
The pike are beginning to run we'll
and the middle of the week will see
them running upstream by millions.
They are caught in seine Just below
the falls and as soon as they are stripped
of their eggs they are returned to the
water unframed.
The falls of Pike river form an ideal
place for catching pike. as the fish can
get no farther up the river and congre-
gate in schools of thousands Just below
the falls.
In former years the pike gathering
expedition has been greatly hindered
from getting spawn on account of the
large number of logs being driven down
the river by the Tower Lumber COM
pany, making il impossible to drag the
seine through the river, but this year
an injunction has been served on the
company forbidding 1t to interfere with
the gathering of the eggs.
