ABSENCE OF Fish
TO Be STUDIED

Devils Lake, N. D. May 1o.-The
walls of the new biological station at
Chautauqua have been completed and
work on the interior is being pushed
rapidly. Architect DeRemer of Grand
Forks and Prof. M A. Brannon Of the
university, were here last week in
specting the work which is being done.
1t is expected that the building will be
ready for use by the middle Of June.
The building is a handsome affair
and will be a decided ornament to the
Chautauqua grounds. 1t is located on
the lake shore. The ground will be
cleared of stone and sowed to grass
and trees set out. Professor Brannon,
who will have charge Of the station,
will move his instruments here from
the university shortly. The main pur-
pose of the station will be to ascertain
whether or not fish can be kept alive
in the lake. The lake was formerly
full Of fish and fish were taken out by
the carload for shipping to other
points. The fish slowly disappeared
until today there are no fish to speak
Of in the lake. Repeated efforts have
been made to stock the lake, but so far
all efforts have failed and 1T is the in
tention of the biological station to go
into the question thoroughly.
