man who lives near Bottineau

MILLION Pike PERCH
Large shipment Of Very Dsslrabls Fish
plantot u Lake mollfosho
STATE HATCHERY IS VERY BUS,


One million pike perch fry
were placed in the waters. OF
Lake Metigoshe Tuesday even
ing Of this week by the State
Fish Hatchery. The shipment
arrived in charge of Mr.. G. C.
Leach, of the u. S. Fish
Commission. who is at present
assisting Capt. w. r. Main,
State Fish Com mmissioner.
Early this spring the state
hatchery received from the
government station at Putin
Bay, Ohio, a large shipment of
Lake Erie pike perch eggs and
these were Matched out in the
hatchery at Fish Lake. It was
for the purpose of assisting
Capt. Main with the work of
Matching out and distributing
these fish that the government
sent Mr.. Leach out. The latter
stated while here that it would
be practically impossible to
ship pike perch fry from Lake
Erie here but it is easy to ship
the eggs properly packed in
ice and hatch them out in the
state. Mr.. Leach was much
surprised that North Dakota
should have such a we'll equip
ped hatchery and commented
especially on the fact that Capt.
Main had an excellent battery
of Matching jars suitable for
the Matching of pike perch. He
was also very much pleased
with the prospects for fish cul-
ture at Lake Metigoshe and
said that there was not reason
why we should not have spfen-
did success in stocking the
lake with various kinds of fish.
The state hatchery is busy
place at this season of the year
and Commissioner Main is
working hard to stock the
waters of the state with fry at
as early date as possible. In
a letter to the editor he assures
us that within a short time he
will be ready to send good
sized shipments of black bass
and yellow perch to Lake
Metigoshe and other suitable
lakes in this vicinity.

That great corporations. grown up under

That the governments dissolution of the
Standard OIL company served as the waving
OF a red nag Of warning to every cor

That something Of a constructive nature
must be done by the government with
reference TO the control of corporations
and rather than for present conditions to

limit of permitting government regulation

That the very reason subsidiary COM

prevents such corporation from operating

Of merely advising them.

What he saw made a deep impression
upon the admiral and he looked enviously

dentally he showed more interest in the
battleships than any Of the sights shown
