Muscatine Journal: With the an
nual state encampment Of the Iowa
department of the G. A. R., which is
to be held in Muscatine, only a month
being made for the great gathering,
and every effort is now being put
forth by the members of the large
committee in charge of arrangements
to make the assembly of the heroes
and heroines of the Hawkeye state
one of the most suspicious ever en-
joyed by the veterans and the men,
bers of the various auxiliary bodies
of the Grand Army. The programs
for the various conventions which will
be held in the city at the time of the
encampment are now being outlined
by the societies which will gather
here in June. The Womans Relief
Corps has prepared a tentative pro-
gram, which is being sent out to the
members of the state organization,
and the Ladies of the G. A. r. will
present the program for the state
meeting shortly. The Grand Army
program, which will be the most i'm.
portant, will likely be completed next
week, while that of the Sons of Vet.
Grams will be on the press at about
the same time. -
Extensive preparations are being
made for the accommodation of the
thousands of visitors expected here
at the time of the military event.
The committees have through their
activities made it possible to offer
assurance that every guest of the
city will be accommodated during the
assembly.
Many entertaining features will be
provided in order to make the visit
to the Pearl City a memorable one.
The steamer Columbia has been char,
tered by the Muscatine Commercial
club and on one of the days of the
encampment that large river craft
will make three excursions on the
Father of Waters, and all wearers of
the little bronze button or the society
badges will be welcomed on the boat
DR.. +. II. King, who is prominent in
the entertainment committee, an.
nounces that the success of the
campfires is assured through the
large number of prominent speakers

GOOD AND BAD ROADS
Illustration of How Easily Travel
Can be Diverted.

During the recent dry weather
some work had been done on the OF
tumwa road between Oskaloosa and
Cedar. Little culverts had been re-
placed and stretches of new grading
done, leaving the road full of bumps.
AS result automobiles and other
vehicles went north from Cedar to
Wright and on to the Burlington and
Iowa City roads, coming into town by
the circuitous route, rather than
cross the bad stretches of road. The
change in travel was very noticeable
and was source of regret to all
residents along the old road that has
long been famous as one of the best
in the country. The rain of Friday
night will make possible the neCes-
sary dragging, etc. that will restore
the fame of this boulevard"
Another like instance has been no.
ticed near the Clark Terrell place,
north of town. There are two roads
here for long stretch, one ON either
side of the Iowa Central tracks. The
road on the east side of the tracks
Is a new road and was used most
last season. But this year Mr.. Terrell
and others dragged the road on the
west side of the tracks and kept it
up in nice shape. They have thus
succeeded in diverting practically all
the travel to the west side and have
won the admiration of all who have
had occasion to use this fine stretch
of road,

STATE FISHING LAWS
No License Required. Size of Fish
Applies to Border Streams.

George A. Lincoln, state game and
fish warden, has written an explana-
ton to a recent story published in
many papers throughout the state and
particularly in the Des Moines papers,
in which 1t was stated that all fish
taken from Iowa streams would have
to be thrown back unless they were
of a certain size and weight. A law
to that effect was passed at the re-
cent legislature, but it applies only to
border streams and not to inland wat
ers. .".
Also the article which stated that
it was necessary to secure a license
to fish is erroneous. Such bill was
presented before the legislature, but
was never passed. The following
from Mr.. Lincoln will explain: '
while the Thirty-fourth general
assembly passed law as to the size
of fish to be taken out, 1t only applies
to the boundary awter fishing and to
those holding licenses under that law.
1t does not apply in any manner,to
the taking of fish from the inland
waters of the state. There has been
no legislation in reference to requir-
ing license to fish in this state and
no license is required
While the Des Moines Capital and
Register and Leader published at one
time during the session of the last
Legislature under the head of Official
Proceedings, bill that had been in
troduced in the senate, which bill
contemplated the licensing of all fish,
ermen. the said bill was never acted
upon by the last legislature. hence.
did not become law.
There Is no new law on the size OF
fish that can be taken and license 10
not required for fishing with a hook
and line. sf3
yours very truly. IL

State Fish and Game Warden. i ! /.

AS commencement week at the high

lined by the graduating class, Supt.
F. w. Else and Principal Miller. The
program is merely outlined at pres.
est and the details will be filed in
later years. The chief trouble that
Supt Else has had to contend with is
the procuring of a speaker to deliver
the graduation address. Several
prominent men have been written to,
but as yet Mr.. Else has been unsuc.
cessful in securing speaker. The
graduation exercises are really the
eliminating feature of the commence
ment week. Commencement week be-
gins Sunday evening, May %, when

be held. On this occasion, Rev. J. B.
Adkins, of the Congregational church,
will deliver the class sermon. On the

nual banquet. The graduating exercis.
es as in former years will be held in
the Masonic opera house and under
the date of Thursday June LIST. From

is probable that the speaker for the
graduating exercises will be secured
in a short time.

graduating or A Senior class. A part
of this number are students, who
completed their school work in Janu'
