TWENTY CARLOADS OF FISH.
Carp and Buffalo to be Shipped to New
York City-The Others Are
Being Thrown Back.

The parties who nave the cont.acr
to seine the lakes and take out the
carp and buffalo made their first
haul last Thursday and another Fri
day, says the Manson Journal. They
expect to make another this week,
on Tuesday. The three hauls will
make a carload besides hundreds of
pounds that have been sold to local
arties who visit the lakes and watch
the seiners. There were about 200
people at the lakes Friday watching
the operation. About 1000 feet of
seine is used. The seine is run out
! into the lake with boats and then
formed into half moon with both
ends resting on the shore. In the
afternoon the two lines are gradually
hauled in until the circle is as small
as the imprisoned fish can be kept
with safety. A fence then is put
around the fish with the nets, and the
fish remain until ready to be hauled
to the station. While the net is being
drawn in the pickerel are taken out.
They try to make their escape and are
caught in the net. The other fish simp-
ly are pushed into prison. All picker.
ell under about four to six pounds slip
through the net and will escape the
seiners. There is no way to take
them, for the reason that no smaller
than two inch mesh can be used. The
result is that instead of securing most
of the game fish and putting them in
the north lake for safety from freez-
| ing, most OF them will be left in the
lake to perish this winter, on account
of the shallow water. 1t is no fault
of the seiners, as they dare not use a.
smaller mesh. 1t is strange condi-
are up against. In two hauIs there
We're about 200 pickerel captured and
placed in the north lake. Some were
injured and a good many of these will
die.

less than twenty carloads of buffalo
and carp.
The fish are taken to JOlley in
wagon boxes. iced. Here refriger-
ator car is ready TO receive them.
They are packed in boxes and iced and
will be sent TO the New York market,
where they will bring about ten cents.
per pound. The seiners get from one
to two and one-half cents for them at
the lakes.
| The work is in charge OF Fish Com
missioner Lincoln. When he is alb
sent, Homer Donaker has charge of
the work, of looking after the game
| fish. Strange how many friends HON.
err has just now, who would like to
get just one fish. you know, to take
home. Occasionally one is killed in
handling and of course this can be dis
posed of to someone.
A good many of the farmers feel
pretty sore because they did not get
in on the SEEMING proposition, but
the facts are that no one without
good deal of capital invested could do
the job as it ought to be and do it in
reasonable length of time.
