EXPERT CALLED TO SETTLE
FISH HATCHERY LOCATION

Pierre, S. D.. Aug. 3o.-Game Ward
en- Eedrick has received applications
for the location Of a fish hatchery east
Of he Missouri from Sioux Falls, Dell
Rapids, Yankton, WATERFOWL, and
other towns, and has sent today to the
government fish department at Wash
tngton to secure the services of an ex-
pert who can come to South Dakota
and visit the various places and choose
the place best adapted to the hatchery.
The warden considers that one Of
the main points is to have running
water, which might be put high enough
into the building so that by gravity it
would flow through all the jars and
out Of the Matching building. In Spear
fish the water Is pumped up high
enough for this purpose with an by
draulic ram, which will undoubtedly
be necessary in whatever place is
chosen east of the river.
