Just as it was found. was the latest

dragged from the bottom of the river
just behind the Kingman pillow works
in Averyville by Henry Klausen,
shell digger Of that suburb, and was
sold to H. E. Strohmeyer, professions

Probably one hundred men are en-

A shell digger's outfit is a simple
one. He has flat botssem boat from
which he drags along the bed OF the
river long frame work to which is
attached forty of fifty small chains,
with blunt wire hooks on their ends.
The boat drifts down stream, guided
by small square frame covered with
canvass, which holds the boat square
" against the current.
The mussel is always found with it's
head upstream and the shell partly
open while feeding. When one of the
dragging chains touches the shell the
mussel closes on it with death grip
and dozens of them are pulled out at
one haul.
The mussels are steamed by the dig
ger and the shells carefully cleaned

found, while along the lips of the shell
the real pearls are taken. The "slugs"

THE SWAPPING
TURTLE TRADE
Send Them Gut From Mississippi
River Points and Make Good
Money.

La Crosse Press: Shipping snap
ping turtles is an industry new to La
Crosse this summer. The job of
catching these moss-covereG denizens
of the deep is not one which everyone
would seek. 1t has its dangers and it's
disagreeable features but there's mon
ey in it.
"Snappers have been shipped out of
here during the winter season but this
is the first summer that the industry
has been carried on. II has reached
quite large proportions.
In the winter the turtles sleep under
stumps and logs. They are numb
from the cold and are more easily
handled. They are captured by hooks
placed securely on the ends OF long
sticks.
Although the turtle can stay under
water all winter it is said they will
drown in few minutes during June
and July. 1t is then they seek the
shallow places for feeding and laying
their eggs in the warm sand. The
turtles would drown in submerged
nets so they are placed in about Il
to "a inches of water the upper part
of the net being in the open air.
The turtles weigh from Is to 30
pounds. Their front claws are very
powerful. Caught in fish seine
they will tear q hole in the net and
swim out. They will even escape
from gunny sack if there is a small

s hole in 1t where they can get hold.
The traps fer capturing them are
built of barrel hoops over which bur.
lap or some strong cloth is stretched.
Like funnel leading into one end is
a maze of strings, the turtle falling
through and, once inside, is unable to
find its way out A dead fish is the
bait.
Were the net stationary the tur-
ties WOULD tear their way out When
they attempt to climb up the sides
the trap rolls and they are helpless.
Round and round go the barrel hoops
until the captives are removed.
The removal process is the danger
GUS and disagreeahle one. The necss
of these strange creatures are of
astonishing length. When one gets
within reach out snaps the head and

They are placed in gunny sacks

TEST MOTOR CARS
ON ROCK ISLAND
Six Of Them Have Been Ordered to be
Tried on Branch Lines
of Road.

The Rock Island system Is prepar-
ing to undertake extensive expert
ments with the operation of passen-
ger motor cars to demonstrate their
capabilities for different kinds of SER
vice.
An order has just been placed for
55-foot gasoline car of the McKeen
type. which has been extensively used
| for branch line service by the Union
Pacific, and tests will also be made
with gasoline-electric car, built by
the General Electrical company, which
has been tested with unusually favor
able results on several roads in the
east. When these cars arrive the
Rock Island will have six types of mo-
tor cars in service.
Two CAM steam motor cars have
been used in the southwest for more
| than year, and two smaller gasoline
cars, the Fairbanks-Morse and the
Slower, have recently been tried on
short lines The McKeen car, built en-
tirely of steel with a pointed end to
reduce wind resistance, was developed
by w. r. McKeen, former superintend-
ent of motive power for the Union Pa
cific. This road has used about 200 Of
them during the last three years and
there are now twenty-five railroads
which operate them or have placed or
ders.
This car may be tried for local SER
vice on the branch line between Peoria
and Chillicothe, Ill. The General Elec-
trio car is operated by both gasoline
and electricity, the gasoline engines
being used to run the electric motors.
! If practical experience bears out the
claims made for the cars they will
doubtless supplant the locomotive and
train in various sections within few
years. either on branch lines CT be.
