The lakes and the big streams will BIO
replenished with bass. sunfish and
csappies.
Elmer Hinshaw, warden. is off to st.
Louis, where today he will get possess
sion Of the new dsh car which the state
game department has purchased. 1t Is
a tank car arranged to hold 10000 fish.
He will bring it to Des Moines and
equip It here with materials SO that the
crew in charge can live in the car and
travel with it. Then about the middle
of the week the car will be taken to
Sabula, where SEEMING fish from the
bayou will begin and these fish will be
loaded in the car to be taken to the
lakes and streams in northern ana
central Iowa.
This Is the first time the game de-
partment has had its own special car
fully equipped for the transportation Of
fish and it is believed the result will be
excellent. Thousands Of fish win be
taken from the bayous and be placed
where they will be cared for in the in
terror streams and lakes.
Nothing has lately been heard from
the government fish department. ana
its plan to seine out the bayous and
use the fish elsewhere than in Iowa.
The prompt action Of Warden Hinshaw
in insisting that the dsh. or . Mrgs
part Of them, should be distributed to
Iowa streams, caused halt. The Sov.
eminent fish department had secured
q permit for SEEMING and then planned
to take the fish away. The Iowa de-
partment headed OFF this scheme.

Governor Clarke has hne string Of
judicial appointees at his belt. a larger
number than any other governor Of
Iowa. His filing Of the vacancy in the
Seventeenth district makes total Of
ten he has appointed.
The selection Of B. F. Cummings to
succeed C. B. Bradshaw was recognized
as one Of the very best of his appoint
ments. Cummings was speaker pro
tenn while Clarke was speaekr of the
house. He was one Of the very best
legislators that ever sat in the Iowa
house. He helped frame up the first
pure food legislation and the child la
Dor legislation and other excellent
measures. The governor had personal
knowledge that he was good judicial
timber.
The ten who have been appointed BIZ
Clarke are as follows:
b. F. Cummings. Marshalltown.
M. L. Dudley. Des Moines.
Oscar Hale. Wapello.
w. s. Ayres, Des MONIES.
G. w. Mullan, Waterloo.
w. 8. Withrow, Mount Pleasant.
J. B. Rockafellow. Atlantic.
G. w. Durham, Manchester.
Robert s. Barr. Perry.
William Jepson. Sioux City.
In view Of the fact that the laws
of the state now contemplate judici-
airy selected without regard to politics
the distribution IL q fair one. The four
first named are properly classified az
regular or progressive republicanss the
next four as standpat republican, and
the two last In the list are democrats
It Is probable. however. that questions
of political line up had nothing to do
with most Of the selections
!. Members Of the state executive coun.
Gil start today for the northern Iowa
lakes. They are not going fishing nor
boating. but they expect to see what
kind of lakes Iowa has and whether OF
not it is better to dam them up and
make them larger or to drain them
and convert some Of them into good
corn fields.
The state officials may be gone three
or four days on this trip. They expect
to make q thorough inspection and to
find out from first hand information
as to what the situation Is at several
Of the lakes about which there Is some
controversy.
