SPEAR BIG FISH IN LOW WATER
Residents of Thief River Catch Red
Horse Weighing 12 Pounds.

Thief River Falls, Minn., Dec 21.
Men and boys are spearing many
fish in the open places in the Red
Lake river, which is unusually low
for this season of the year. Red
lake is lower than ever known since
white men arrived in the country
The one outlet is Red Lake river,
and it's feeder, being below it's ma
tural level prohibits much of a flow
of water down the stream. The fish,
as a consequence, are compelled to
remain in the deeper spots in the
river and it appears they exhaust the
water of air to certain degree and
are coming to the water holes and
open spaces about piers in the pond
above the mill dam in this city and
thus fall an easy prey to the spears.
Red horse and other coarse fish are
taken weighing as much as twelve
pounds.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS TODAY
Stops for Usual Holiday Recess, But
Few Members Leave City.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-
Both houses of Congress adjourned
today for the customary holiday re-

in nearby States will return home to
spend Christmas, but the big major
ity Of the senators and representa-
tives will remain in the capital. Of
late years the holiday season has be-
come a period of great social bril-
lance in Washington and as con-
sequence very few of those promi-

of their wives and daughters, care to
leave the city at this time. Then.
too, the abolition of railroad passes
has been a potent influence in chang
ing the old habit of the members of
Congress in making frequent trips
to and from their homes.
