COMPELLED TO PUT IN FISH.
WAY.

Akeley Tribune 20: A. G Rut-
ledge, Of Bemidji, warden for the
State Game and Fish commission.
was in Akeley Wednesday, on official
hutiness. While here recently be
served notice on Louis Berg to COM
menee. within ten days, the erection
OF a 6shway in the dam which be
owns. on the Crow Wing river. The
Akelay Business Men 8 Association
took the matter up with Sam F. Ful.
lefton. executive agent of the COM
mission, with the result that Mr..
Rutledge was requested to investigate
and II he thought It necessary to or
der the 6shway put in. The warden
acted speedily in order that provision
be made so that fish can PATS freely in
the spring to their natural spawning
grounds.
Mr.. Berg had failed to pay sny at.
before Justice John Estby. Wednesday
afternoon, and assessed $40 and costs
for his indifference. He was then Civ.
ven i've days to begin operations. Mr..
Berg admitted that the 6shway should
be put in, but gave as mis- reason for
failure to comply with notice that the
Pine Tree Co. of Little Falls had a
dam in like condition about six
miles istant and that it would be
useless to erect a fishway until the
Others down the river had also com.
piled with the law. The Busine IS
Mems Association will make COM
plaint against the Pine Tree Co. in q
few days, If necessary, to compel
them to put in fshway within the
next three weeks. This will be of

BANK MERGER AT CAS3 LAKE.

BANK MERGER AT CAS3 LAKE.
Feb. 2S.-There is a well.def1ned
rumor here to the effect that there
will shortly be merger of the two
banks that are now doing business
here. The banking situation in Cas-
Lake has, daring the past year, been
somewhat strenuous one. ABOUT q
year ago the First State bank was or
gaDiZed in opposition to the First Ma
tlonal bank, which had been doing
business here ever since the orRaniza-
tion Of the town. Shortly afterwards,
another bank was organized, known. .as
the Merchants State bank The latter
institution suspended after a few
months. Since that time there has
been very active rivalry between the
two banks fur the business of the
town. 1t is stated that II. E. Reed,
now cashier of the First State bank,
will remain with the merger institu-
ton.
