son for long time. All of the fresh
water lakes in the state have yielded
up remarkable supply of fish so far
and quantities have been caught in the
lakes tributary to the Twin-Cities,
says the Minneapolis Tribune. This is
the opinion of the wholesale dealers
of fish in Minneapolis. They say that
the consumption of fish during the
present summer has been enormous,
but in spite of this fact the prices are
no higher than they were last year.
The majority of them account for this
from the fact that no one has yet been
able to establish a monopoly on the
fish market The fish are in the lakes.

article which the public does not, Of

be wise to prosecute for past OffenseS,
