The Great Lakes.

How about the fish of the great lakes2'
"rhey are valuable, but we have great
deal of trouble in controlling the industry
because we have no national or interna-
tional laws regarding It. Each state does
as it pleases, and the Canadians do as
they please. The result Is that there is
a great destruction OF fish and especially
Of the whiteflsh and other valuable va
rieties Nevertheless we are annually
getting 1S5,OOOOOO pounds of fish from
those lakes and our interior waters, and
the greater part Of this comes from the
lakes. We are doing what we can to in
crease the lake supply. We have one sta
ton on Lake Erie where, in 1907, our col
lections OF whitefish eggs reached a to-
tai of S36,OOO,O00. We bought those eggs
from the fishermen for the most part and
gathered the rest ourselves. We have a
number of such stations ON the lakes and
also well equipped hatcherles.

1--WE have also brought in number OF
European trout Moreover, we are carry
ing fish from one part of the United
States to another. For instance, the shad
is now one of the most abundant food
fishes of California. 1t can be found from
Los Angeles to Alaska and 1t is about
as common on our Pacific coast as on
the Atlantic. This comes from shad
which have been taken from the Atlantic
and planted there. The total cost of the
experiment was something like 1900 and
at the present date the shad taken out
and marketed in that region runs high
into the millions of pounds. IL has netted
the fishermen over third of a million
dollars, which is a big dividend on a
$1,000 investment
Another fish which we have sent west
is the striped bass, which we planted first
in San Francisco bay. We took less than
500 from New Jersey, and from them the
Pacific coast has been populated. The
bass has become the leading game fish
of California, and 1t can be bought at a
lower price in San Francisco than in New
York. The cost of transplanting it was
less than 81, 600, and the value of the catch
already sold has been more than 81, 900 900.
Uncle Sam threw $1,000 into the water,
and 10! $1,OO0.OOO has come back. 1t beats
the bread of the scriptures.
1--WE are also sending western fish to
the east. We have taken the rainbow
trout and distributed it throughout the
different states and territories, and we
are now trying to transplant Pacific sal
mon. 1t grows well and thrives in the
lakes, but whether 1t will breed remains
to be SEEN"

How Fish Are Distributed.
How is It possible TO carry fish over
the country so that they will keep alive
and grow when planted?"
1--WE do that in various ways. We have
special cars each OF which is walled with
twenty or more large water tanks In
which the fish are carried. There are
also compartments which hold more than
a thousand gallons of reserve water. We
have, a boiler room on such n car, and
plant\ to pump water and air into the
tanks. There are also sleeping places,
and a kitchen and pantry for the men,
These cars may be attached to a regular
train and dropped off as needed. In send
ing small shipments we use ten-gallon
cans, which are carried in baggage cars.
The cans are handled by our own mes
sengers. In some years our cars and
messengers travel over 100000 miles in

catch of cod and halibut which our
men took in twenty minutes on the Alas
kan banks. These fish are so plentiful
that the catching Of them will some day
be a very great industry"
Our Alaskan Fisheries.
"Give me some idea OF the Alaskan
fisheries"
"They are of enormous value. Including
the seal we have already gotten about
$50 10000 out of Alaska fish products.
The salmon has netted over 600
which is more than fourteen times what
we paid for the territory. We are now
receiving upward of $1OOC0,0OO year out
OF Alaskan salmon alone.
"In addition to that there is the Alaska
herring" DR.. Smith continued. There
are so many of them that they are caught
and sold as fertilizer. They should sup
ply the United States and take the place
Of those which we are importing.
''The cod and halibut are likely to yield
a great deal. The hallbut is now being
caught in Alaska and taken down to
Seattle and Vancouver and shipped to the
east. They are as good as the Atlantic
halibut, and they are so abundant that
IL is possible to carry them this long
distance and sell them at a lower cost
in the markets of Boston. When the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway is com
pleted these fish will go to Prince Rupert
and thence to all parts of the United
States and Canada"
"Are the Alaskan fisheries well man
aged?"
Eyes. They are under the United States
government and the fish commission con-
trolls the planting and catching. As a
result the planting are being preserved,
and they will give us salmon for all time
to come. We are now regulating the
methods of catching and marketing and
have our agents on the ground to see
that our regulations are respected. We
require license taxes. but omit them upon
all fisheries or fishing companies which
return 1000 young salmon to the streams
for every ten cases of salmon they can.
Some of the canning interests have pri-
vate hatcheries and are planting mill
lions of young fish. The government has
its hatcheries. There is one at Yes bay
which during the last two years has let
free 61,OOO,OOO salmon"
Fish Immigrants.
'Are you planting new varieties of fish
In different parts OF the United States?"
Eyes, we have imported fish of various
kinds, and some have proved valuable.

able to agree with DIR. V. X. Irion
that the present activity in Lou
isiana land dealings and the colo
nization movements now in full
swing are bad for the stats and the
farmer who has already establish.
ed himself here, his discussion is
nevertheless timely aud valuable.
No matter how good any move
meut or enterprise may be, there
is always q risk that ii may be
run into the ground" to use the
picturesque Americanism which
expresses one of our most unfor-
tuuats national traits.
Louisiana and Mississippi need
more people. Their resources are,
to a great extent, still undevelop-
ed. There are not enough farm
srs in either of these states to uti-
lize even a small part of their re-
sources, and there is not enough
labor, skilled or unskilled, to sup
ply the great industrial growth
which most people anticipate.
We believe that the reclamation
of our millions of acres of wet
lands and the establishment OF
skilled farmers in small tracts on
these lands will create wealth for
the people Of the whole state.
While the settling of the land will
undoubtedly increase it's price, it
will also tend to cheaper food pro:
ducts for the mass of the people.
The creation Of a truck farming
region around New Orleans would
cut the cost of living of the less
wealthy people down one-third.
The Item can see nothing but
gain from the land boom in Lou
isiana, except in one possibility,
and that is the injection of spscu-
lation aud frenzied land gambling
into the present Legitimate, prac-
tical, and productive process of
colonization and development.
| DIR. Irion's several letters to this
paper call attention to the posi-
bility of this danger. The history
of land blooms" in other parts of
the country has nearly always con-
tanned some dark chapters. We
want to prevent scandal and Gala
nifty in our own case, and one way
is to face the possibility before il
occurs aud conduct our process of
development in an orderly, sane
manner.
Land speculation can easily be
overdone. Too much money eau
be withdrawn from productive
industries and tied up in lands
that are held for speculative pur-
poses and not used 10 create new
wealth. When land buying be-
comes la1d craze and get-rich-
quick scheme, it breeds the germs
of panic, failure. reaction, and stag
nation. For a while, so many may
be drawn into the gamble that all
other business is neglected. There
is bound to come a crash sooner
or later aud the tumbling of fct-
! tious values inevitably bring down
many Legitimate values in the wrec.
We have too good a thing in our
Louisiana lands to risk permanent,
success in the quick aud easy pro.
fits of speculative boom" The
men who have the interests of the
state most deeply in heart should
try to check any first signs of dau.
gerous BOOM
