LAKE SUPERIOR Is FAST
BECOMING FISHlESS LAKE

What has became of the trout and
whitensh in Lake Superior?
This is question that Marquette
fishermen, in common with others on
the south shore of the lake, are now
asking, says the Marquette Journal.
Catches have never been so light as
during the last month and the local
fishermen have not been able TO sup
ply the local trade on Thursday and
Fridays, to say nothing of shipping
any To other cities The result OF an
all day trip with one of the fish tugs
is often not more than 300 pounds of
fish, which is not enough to pay the
