NEW FISH LAW ATTACKED
Lake George Association Files
Objection to Statute.
SAY OPEN SEASON IS LONG
Head of Organization States 1t
Will Completely Destroy Fish
Life in the Lake.

Albany. April 93.--The so-callei uniform
FISH and game law, which the DIS ConSHr-
walton Commission heralded far and wide
as correcting all the defects In tho old law.
seems 10 I've doomed 10 a series Of protests
from all over the state Tho first protest
was nlod with tho commission to-day by
Henry ". Hayden Of tho New York law
7rrn Of Ward. Hayden e. Satterlae, as presi-
dent of the Lake George Association. whose
members comprise nearly AL tho men who
have summer residences along the west
shore of Lake George from tho village of
Lake Goorgo 10 Bolton Landing known as
millionaire Row"
Some prominent, New Workers vino are in
tho association. besides Mr.. Hayden. are Or.

ford and Borough President George Nc
Ancnv II is understood that many other
fish and game associations are now prepar-
ing protests against the now law. az ii Is
generally charged that It opens IN COM
merciaI fishing on summer resort lakes.
The petition of Mr. Hayden states that
unless the law is changed II will result in
the practical destruction within short
time Of all the fish in Lake George. Under
the new law the conservation commission
usurps some of the legislative powers IT
being provided that the commission may
change the law I'm reference to open sea
sons by special order after hearing on a
protest from any resident OF the state. II is
under this provision that the Lake George
association makes its petition.
Mr. Hayden objects particularly 10 the
permitting of the takinr Of black bass from
Lake George from June IS to November 30,
declaring that the limits Of the old law
August to December 15-should have been
retained. He says that the bass come upon
their beds on June 16 and leave August !.
and that II they arc not protected during
that time they will he quickly aruihila'ed.
lie asks that the commission take action
before June S
Mr. Hayden also objects TO tho provision
making the season for lake trout on Lake
George from April to September so. say
ing il should remain from May to August
81 as IL is at present. Under the new
provision he declares fishing for lake trout
through the ice will 10 permitted. as the
ice often remains until about May I. The
lengthenng Of the season for pickcre from
May | Ia March I. or ntarly the entire
year, is another cause Of protest
For some years past fish have been de-
teriorating in Lake George said Mr.. Hay
den to-day. land II is now dscoIraging to
find this new law on the statute books,
which will undoubtedly result in the COM
plete destruction Of fish life in the lake
The commission has twenty days in which
TO give hearing on the petition.

~ Mr.. Thomas views on the improve
ment Of the Des Moines river are con-
tanned in the following article: p
The movement was started about six
years ago by A. G. Miller Of Des
Moines. Miller is not river man. and
he is not connected with any OF the
water power companies, as has been
stated He is a banker and has been a
collector of statistics, and is probably
the best posted man in Iowa on trans
portation and water power He took
up this work as public enterprise, be.
lieving that the cheap water trans
portation and the cheap water power
would be of great benefit to the people
of Iowa, and especially so to those iiv-
ing along the Des Moines river valley.
It was through Mr.. Miller that I be-
came connected with the movement.
With twenty years service on the
boats was able to furnish much in
formation as to boats and the river,

individuals have been left to do all the
work. Now We ask for general line
up of all the city and town officials.
, the commercial clubs and the people
generally along the river. Send your
resolutions and letters to the Iowa
delegation in congress, urging action
on this important enterprise. lit
tie effort on your part will secure an

work. The cheap power and the
cheap water transportation will GER
tainly bring great prosperity to all of

Soon after the second survey was
made We tried to get the members OF
the Iowa legislature to take some in
terest in the project, but they turned
it down. 1t has been suggested to us
by the war department that the state
OF Iowa should own and control the
dams and water power, the govern
ment the navigation only. We did
some missionary work in Des Moines.
trying to show the law. makers that
they could float some bonds to build
the dams and that the net earnings of
such dams would go long ways to-
ward paying the running expenses Of
the state. Also that the levee work
in connection with this improvement
would reclaim $4,000 acres of land now
subject to overflow. but they thought
it too large an undertaking for the
state. The war department then in
formed us that If the state of Iowa did
not want the power it would be leased
to the power companies.
I have not seen Colonel Riches
blue print, showing location of dams,
but on guess work would say that
two of them will be located near
enough to Ottumwa. One at Clifland
and the second at Rock Bluffs above
Ottumwa At these two points tho
engineers will have high rock bluff
at one end Of the dams, which is i'm

z. A. GILTNERR TO IRRESPONSIBLE
- POSITION WITH COMPANY IN CHICAGO

z. A. Giltner, for some years repre-
sentins the International Text Book
Co., with headquarters in this city,
leaves tomorrow night for Chicago,
where Monday he will open offices as
general manager Of the stock sales de-
partment Of the company for the CEN
trail western territory.
The position Mr.. Giltner takes is
one Of much responsibility and the &C
ton Of his company in rendering 1t to
him is indeed compliment to his
ability. Mr.. Giltner and his family,
which includes Mrs. Giltner and their
two daughters, Miss Angelina and
Miss Gwendolyn, will make their per-
manent home in Chicago after Janu-
airy l. Mr. Giltner will tomorrow ter
inmate a residence in this city that
has continued with only an Interrupt
ton of few years in St. Louis, for
the past thirty-eight years His duties
in his new field will bring him in
direct charge of the sales in Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana. Missouri Iowa, Ne
braska, the Dakotas, Manitoba, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Illinois. He
will be assisted by secretary and
three stenOgraphers.
The advance of Mr.. Giltner in his work
is in recognition of his peculiar fitness
for the work of his company. For some
years past he has maintained large
office in Ottumwa with branches in
Kansas City, st. Louis and Chicago.
and his services with the company
have resulted in him being transferred
to Chicago, where he will have greater
opportunity to display his energies.
Mr.. Giltner was born in Wapello
