Fish in Lake Campbell

S. n. Blair, game warden of this
county, is engaged in seining Lake
Campbell to remove from the lake the
carp, buffalo, pickerel and other des-
tructive fish that prey upon bass,
perch and pike. A 150-foot seine is
being used, which is handled by boats
and it requires about half-hour to
make cast Large numbers of the
pirates of the lake are brought in
with each maui and they are summari-
ly disposed Of while the game fish
that are brought in by the net are
thrown back. This should prove to
be a great thing for the lake and
give much better fishing. Mr. Blair
has been at work the past couple Of
weeks and expects to stay at the job
until a good majority Of the undesir-
ables are cleaned out. Mr.. Blair states
that he expects to repair the dam at
fle outlet at the north end, this

ed up about n dozen gill-nets that
are being unlawfully used around the
lake to seine for fish, and as soon as
they are found they are cut into

ANOTHER LIE REFUTED.

To the Voters Of BrOokings county:
My attention having been called to
the fact that certain persons are in
dustriOusly circulating a report to the
effect that | have deserted the princi-
pals advocated by the Progressive
Republicans led by Governor Craw-
ford and that | am now in sympathy
with and am supporting Senator Kit
redge and the Stalwart cause. | de
sire to state that there is no truth
whatever in the report.
| have been taking no part in the
present campaign and am not can
didate for denomination &c the State
Senate for the simply reason that ]
intend to remove permanently from
this state otherwise should be active
Progressive Republicans and should
have been a candidate for re-nominat-
ton to the State Senate.
| trust that the voters of this county
will rally to the support of Governor
Crawford and his associates and will
complete the victory partially won
two years ago. The reform program
of the Progressive Republicans can
not be completed in one session of
the legislature, although every pledge
made in the last campaign was re
deemed. Let not the solicitations of
the stalwartS or their wilful misrepres-
entation of facts and issues, cloud the
main issue, that is, whether the cor
porations or the voters of this state
shall control the policies of the state
Hoping that this county will elect
legislative ticket that will carry on
the work commenced two years ago,
will return Hon Philo Hall to congress
and send Hon. Coe l. Crawford to
the United States Senate, / remain
Respectfully,
