WASHINGTON d. c., May 7-statistics
of the fisheries of the state of Nebraska

Nebraska's commercial fishing is con
fined to the Missouri river and the value
of the products in 1908 was 81, 200, giving
employment TO 12s persons. The products
comprised German carp, catfish, buffalo
fish. paddle fish, sturgeon, fresh water
drum and pike, perch, or wall-eyed pike.
German carp represented q per cent OF the
weight Of all fishery products. and s. per

as caught in 1899. showing how rapidly
this fish multiplies. The increase In the
average price per pound OF fish is illus
trated In the catch of buffalo fish In 1908,
which was less than one-third the catch
Of 1899, but the price was nearly 3 cents

the opinion that, intervention in Mexico
will be Inevitable. and that 1t would take

official denials were issued from several

PREVENTION Is a most remote possibility.
One OF president Tafts callers went so
far today as TO quote him as saying that
blood would have TO be 80 deep in Mexico
that man could wade through it, before
the American army would cross the border
This has been reported to have been the
presidents position throughout the Mexican
troubles and again was generally accepted
as such.
Members Of congress were inclined to the
belief that the reported utterancss Of Gen.

President Taft, conscious of the constitu

before congress II the time should ever

that the responsibility for action would be

rumors that friction exists between the
War and State departments over the han

Wins From Locals
A FINE EXHIBITION
One of the Best Games Ever
Played Here--Score % to31
Good Crowd Out.

One of the best exhibitions of basket
ball played here this season, was the
game between the Chadron Y. M. G. A.
and the Minnekahta hose team, at the
New Opera House last evening. The
game was replete with brilliant plays
as we'll as some fast and snappy team
work. Both teams are we'll versed in
the rules of the game, and it was re.
markably free from the roughness
often attending such exhibitions.
Prothtt, Spencer and frankie for the
locals, were very clever at throwing
baskets, while Roth and Fargo at the
guard positions did their share of the
work. Mackey, Chadron's center,
starred for the visitors, although each
of the other boys we're exceptionally
good.
The score at the end of the first half
stood II to 13 in favor of the visitors,
and in the second half maintained
their lead and increased it two points,
the game ending in their favor, % to
81. Mr.. Mote, of Chadron, director of
the Y. NJ. O. A., acted as referee, and

The Chadron high school basket ball
team came up Saturday and succeeded
IN winning from the Battle Mountain
Sanitarium team at the New Opera
House by a score of % to lS. The first

was "catch as catch can" affair. It

the gentle rough and tumble stuff.
The game ended with a score of % to

that the Battle Mountain team PLAYED
good clean game Notwithstanding
the treatment they received at the
hands of the visitors.
