water from the river has poured into the
worry to the fisher ien. The gar and
other scavenger fish run in from the
river and would soon do away with the
game fish by eating the spawn. Game
fish would also run out Of the lake.
Both these migrations are stopped each
spring by the club members placing a
wire net across the stream as 1t flows
into the lake. The numerous springs
which feed the lake make skating a dan
gerous sport in the winter time, as the
warmer water melts the ice from below
and ofttimes but a thin layer Of ice re-
mains over one of these spring while
that around may be eighteen inches
thick.
The grounds and club house of the Omaha
Rod and Gun club are now most accessible,
as the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company has completed a new line to
the entrance. The club house is situated
just west Of the enclosure Of CORTLAND
Beach and the grounds are on the east and
south shore of the lake. Large cottonwood
trees furnish ample shade and make an
ideal spot for a camp. The thirty cottagers
and their families are not the only residents
Of the club grounds, for there is a regular
tented city of those who nave not as yet
built their houses or who prefer the tent
life during the hot lays of summer.
Entering the grounds one first comes
upon the large club house. where the cot
tagers congregate in the evening and listen
to the music by the Juvenile orchestra or
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-12

join in singing some Of the old, familiar
songs. To the right is the lake, with its
wharves and extensive array of all sorts Of
boats. Sailboats, rowboats. canoes and
power boats are always present in pro-
fusion, but the skilled clubmen easily steer
the boats into the clear water beyond,
where there is ample room for all.
Beyond the club house one comes upon
the long row of cottages. No two are built
alike. Some are most pretentious and some
were built by the unskilled hands of office
boys who knew little of the use of the saw
and chisel, but in spite OF that nave
wrought a most comfortable abode.
The first residents OF the new city were
groups of boys who did their own cooking,
but it is different now. Entire families re-
side at the lake, and several have closed
their homes in the city for the summer and
have moved, bag and baggage, to the lake.
Two japanese cooks are among the attrac-
lions of which the visitor is told on his trip
over the grounds Back of the long row Of
cottages stands the tented city. Some of
the cottages are models of comfort and
have been designed with skill which
shows experience in camping life. One has
the fireplace in the center of the room. with
the kitchen to one side and the den on the
other. 1t Is so situated that a large group
may gather around the glowing embers.
These same fireplaces have been most well

nights have been extremely cold.

Ing there is a splendid breeze blowing
across the lake which serves several pur-
poses. 1t blows away the mosquitoes,
cools the cottagers who may have been
spending the day on the hot pavements
of the city and gives ample power for
the boats. Sailing vessels do not monop-
olize all the surface of the water, for
the club members own about thirty
anoes, which are put to daily use.
Canoes not only furnish an opportunity
to get into the open air, but also provide
ample exercise while enjoying that free
air. The flat-bottomed skiff and the
clinker-built rowboat are common and
the motor beat ts becoming a numerous
factor among the craft. Among the
motor boat owners who have lighthouses
along the lake front are: DR.. ]. B.
Fickes, ]. Youngs, ]. f. Goerne C.. e.
Miller, d. r. Certe, F.. c. Martin and J.
r. Hill. The long axpaRse Of water fur
nishes a fine surface for the use of these
power boats, which glide at a rapid gait
over the water.
From its inception the club has made
it's utmost endeavor to protect the fish
at Cutoff lake. One of the first moves
of the new club, even when Its re-
sources were small, was to provide a
deputy game warden to patrol the lake
and to arrest any persons caught using
seines in violation Of the state laws.
Many convictions have been had and
now, under the watchfulness of Game
Warden Frank Brown, the life of the
poacher is one fraught with great dan
ger. Brown has a habit of never sleep
ing, and the seiners have learned that
1t is not wise to try to pull their nets
at any hour of the day or night, for
Brown is sure to drop upon them with
the strong arm of the law on his side
and seines and men and boys are taken
into custody to answer to the laws Of
Nebraska. Deputy State Fish CommIs-
sioner O'Brien has taken a most active
interest in Cutoff lake and each year he
has planted thousands and thousands of
bass and perch and crappies, until tho
lake now has the reputation of being one
of the best fishing lakes in the west. It
is no occurrence for five and
siX-pound bass to be caught, and the
strings of Graphic which were taken out
this spring would have med fishermen
at many northern and noted lakes look
with envy. For years the fishermen of
Omaha have been journeying to distant
lakes in search of fish, but they have
now learned they can get just as good
fishing at their own door without the
trouble of a long ride on a railroad train.
Fish Commissioner O'Brien has prom
Used the club that as long as the MEM
bers show an inclination to protect tho
fish of the lake he will keep 1t supplied
with the best Of game fish. Not only
have frys and small fish been placed in
the lake, but on several occasions when
1t has been found necessary to drain
larger lakes in the state the large game
fish have been brought to Cutoff lake.
With these sources of supply the fish
have been increasing at a rapid rate and
large catches are the rule when the In
telligent fisherman tries for a good
string.
Cutoff lake is fed by numerous and
large springs which keep the water fresh
the year around. For many years tho

club were run rather loosely, with the idea
of keeping down the expenses. This year
a new plan was decided upon. the club was
incorporated and the officers are compelled
to keep complete books and to keep them
up to date. a house secretary was eu-
gagged. whose duty It is to be on hand TO
keep the members informed as to what
are their rights. Between the house secre-
tary and the custodian and game warden,
the affairs of the club are kept running
most smoothly. AL Bloom, as secretary. is
most thorough in his work and President
John A. Scott, an ardent lover of the out
club with a fatherly eye.
Weeds are quite a source OF nuisance at
times at the lake, but Swift s. Co. have
a large weed cutter for keeping down the
weeds in that part of the lake where the
company wishes to harvest ice. Arrange
ments nave been made with the company
whereby the cutter is worked more dill
igently and a larger surface Of the Lake
covered by the machine.
When the lake is covered with Ice tho
officers OF the club haul many loads of
clean sand onto the ice. When the ice
melts this settles into the lake and forms
a fine bathing beach, which is used by the
jewellers at the club and by club members.
A tennis court has been added to the assets
Of the club. Tennis players can enjoy the
game to the fullest extent untn toward
dusk and then take a cooling plunge into
the lake.
