sIR-Replying to your letter Of the 18th,
regarding the propriety Of introducing
black bass into the lower reaches Of White
river in northwestern Colorado, you are ad-
vised that, in the judgment OF this bureau,
the introduction Of that species into those
waters would be detrimental to the best In
terests Of the anglers of that region. The
streams Of that portion Of Colorado are in
the main we'll supplied not only with the
native species Of black-spotted trout but
rainbow trout; and eastern brook trout
have also been introduced. Williamson's
vhite1sh Gorgeous williamsoni) Is also
native to those streams. Black bass, II in
troduced, would afford only Q relatively
small amount Of sport and interest to local
anglers and would sooner or later, in all
probability, seriously interfere With the

Editor HERALD:
It 10 not our desire to provoke controversy
In the matter Of the Introduction Of black
bass in the White river waters, but to
merely beseech due caution in an import
ant matter, knowing II such caution had
been used in other instances there would
be now NO vain regrets. We have read with
interest Mr.. Balls and Ar. Kincsidf let

lief that NO harm would come through the
introduction Of bass ~ contemplated but
with desire for more light would ask Mr..
Kincaid three questions:
First, When were bass first introduced in
Colorado waterss
second, Name . typical trout stream
where they have been introduced and whenf
Third, In his opinion, based ON results OBJ
tanned, has the time since the Introduction
been Of sufficient duration as to determine
accurately whether the ultimate result will

large mouthed or Oswego bass, distributed
from Canada to Florida and many southern
states, and which does In the warm waters
reach weight Of upward Of twelve pounds.
Tho Aicropterous Dolomieu, or small
mouthed black bass, the really game and

when taken from the colder waters, lakes
or streams. These are taken in Canada
around 80 degrees north latitude or some
seven hundred miles further north than
Nesker and from our personal experience
have been taken in rocky, swift mountain
brooks, along with trout, in water too cold

stockmen's Special Meeting.


The White River Stock Growers
association met In adjourned special
session in the court room last Satur-
day afternoon. All the officers were
present, President Montgomery pre-
siding.
Colonel Montgomery then made re-
port, as delegate, on the Denver
convention. He said the local asso-
citation had fifteen votes In the con-
vention, and was as ably represented
as any association In the state. A
committee Of seven was appointed on
resolutions lin which grazing and
forestry were considered) Ave menu
bers taking the government side Of
the quettion and Messrs. A. Ammoua
and B. F. Montgomery tho side u
the stockman and settler. The reso-
lutions were discussed from 8 o'clock
till q. m., and the minority report
adopted by vote Of 1888 to 118.
Only three members Of the state
observation-disclosures Ammons, Baer
and Montgomery-belong to the Ma
tional Live Stock association, and
the vote on these questions WAS re-
versed there. The speaker referred to
the $50 votes there from Texas, and
the fact that Texas never had any
government land explains how they
were Outvoted.
Mr.. Montgomery stated that while
the state and national organizations
were divided on the forestry and
grazing questions, the latter associa-
ton had accomplished much In cor
recting the evils practiced by the
railroads. and had materially bet
tered the conditions for the stock
men; in consideration of these facts
the three gentlemen named above
considered it wise for the White
River association to join them, and
the initiation fee was advanced by
Mr.. Baer.
The speaker then referred to the
stock show which was pronounced by
all the best ever held. There were
$50 entries of carload lots of feeders,
and the exhibit of breeders and fat
cattle was something wonderful. At
a banquet by the executive commit
tee the editor of the Breeders Ga
zette (of Chicago) addressed the
guests. He stated that the Chicago
show was beaten by the Denver show
in the quality of the exhibits-that
they had not been surpassed any
where. 1t was the sense Of those
present that the west would be the
great breeding ground and Denver
eventually the great feeder market.
The proposition of the Union Stock
Yards company to erect suitable
buildings for permanent show (for
this meeting the temporary buildings
were enlarged three times) providing
the stockmen and associations would
put up guarantee fund of $5O, 900 by
taking out life memberships at 500
each and making their exhibits an
nually. The agricultural exhibit at
this show was Il new feature and the
display was very creditable.
Proof sheets of the minutes of the
previous meeting and the financial
statement had been issued every
member, and on motion the minutes
were adopted rs they appeared.
Attorney Gentry then addressed
the members on the stock laws,
butchers, peddlers, licenses and the
exposure of hides. He wanted the
laws enforced, and was willing to en-
force them; lie asked the assistance
of the association and for those mem-
bers who knew anything crooked to
report 1t to him and he would do the

Three other bills were laid over till

The matter Of this years dues to
the state association was brought up
by Mr.. Kildun, but WAS laid over till

The question Of local dues was next

A social feature for the association
was then suggested by the president

time, read the stock papers, and have
social gatherings occasionally; also
to institute circle hunts for wolves

therefore, strongly advise against any such
measures. -
In your letter you state that there is Is
small species of stone catfish found In
White river. This Information is very in
teresting, and the bureau would he pleased
to have further details. White river is
tributary to the Colorado of the west and,
so far as this once knows, there is no ma
tive species Of catfish in that river basin.
Possibly some eastern species have been in
troduced there. Any further Information
which you can give on this question will be
appreciated. Respectfully,

and other experts, will disagree:

Mr.. j. r. LAwtou, etc.
DxAA SIR-l Sss no reason why the black
bass should not be introduced in the White
river. OF course, II this were done the fish
would spread down the Colorado into re-
gions where there are no good game fish at
present. do not think 1t would interfere
in any sppreciable degree either with the
native trout or with tho rainbow trout in
tho streams. For the most part the bass
live in the deeper water and the trout
spawn in the streams.

Roosevelt Urged Cooper's Hatred.

Knoxville, Tenn. Nov. l0.-Accord- ing to information which came into the possession of the Sentinel today. the animosity between Senator Car mack and Duncan B. Cooper dates back 10 the time when Mr. Carmack was United States Senator. At that time he severely criticised President Roosevelt and when his term was about to exire Roosevelt was active in starting an opposition to him.
 Among those whom he called into was Alfred Henry Lewis, the writer Lewis arranged an inter- view between the president and MT. Cooper. Another prominent Tennes- sean was also present. and the presi- dent entertained the visitors at lunch eon. The president said he was anx- Ous to beat Carmack. From this time Duncan B. Cooper actively op- posed MT. Carmack. The feeling has been intensified of late years Bristol, Tennessee Herald Courier.

Hon. Walter German acted as prosecuting attorney, and Hon. $. II. Mann for the defense. On examin- ing the coroner's papers it was found that the coroner's jury held the pris- oners once to the grand jury, but on reaching the city the coroner ignored the jury's verdict, and issued a writ to bring the prisoners before a mapis- trate for trial. Squire Hurley under these circumstances remanded the prisoners 10 jail, holding that the coronor had not the power to change the verdict Of the jury.
