DIG DAM plvERrlhe FISH.
Coming up Western Iowa Streams In
stead of Mississippi.

Perry, Feb 26-It is reported by
local fishermen that the streams in
Dallas county. including the three
branches OF the Coon river are being
filled with strange lot Of fish never
before seen in these streams. In COM
menting on that fact c. c. PuSh. for,
merly OF this county. in his state wide
correspondence says:
During the fall 1t was noticed that
varieties Of FISH were finding their way
into the three Coon rivers up in Dallas
county that had not been known since
early in the '70s, and some never be-
fore had been in those rivers. Fish
Ing was getting much better where the
laws were enforced. Inquiry proved
that the big dam at Keokuk shuts up
the Mississippi on this side, and while
there are Ashways the fish on this side
of the river come up the Dcs Moines
river and eventually reach It's tributar-
les, as there are no dams to bother
since the old Meek dam at Bonaparte
went~out some years ago. There has
been complaint that the fishways in the
big structure at keokuk are not ample,
and that may be true, for it Is evident
that larger fish and more of them are
constantly reaching the rivers Of the
central part Of Iowa than ever before
in the history OF the state. for the
dam across the Mississippi Is so con-
structed that II throws fish this way
that would never come while the river
was clear. 1t Is a fine thing for sports
men up this way and IT is hoped they
will be manly and see to it that the
laws are enforced. 1t will mean good
fishing here for years to come"

Nevada. Feb. 26-The Iowa Highway
commission has amended and approved
the plan OF county roads for Story
county as originally designated by the
board Of supervisors and with the ex-
ception Of few minor changes the
original map of the roads remain as at
first proposed. The commission and
the supervisors have been working In
harmony for several years, the Story
county board probably having the con-
sultation and advice Of the commission
more freely than any other board in
the state. The slight changes were
made by the commission after the
board had been consulted and the mat
ter taken under careful Amusement and
all had concurred.
Under this arrangements the main
road east and west through the county
will connect with the Marshall county
road and run west over the Lincoln
highway through Colo. Nevada. Ames,
Ontario and connecting with the Boone
county line. The north road will be
from the Marshall county line through

the state that Iowa is going to lose any
big sum of money in robbery. The
amateurish attempt to break into
inquiry.
1t is very seldom that there is any
large amount OF cash in the treasury
vaults. All that is ever needed is for
payment OF the state payrols and small
items about the state house. All the
rest is exactly like banking business. 1t
is all a matter OF checks. For in
stance, all the business in the automo-
bile department. which is banked two
or three times Week, is in the form
Of checks. These go right TO Des
Moines banks and are treated as cash.
Perhaps the largest amount Of cash
coming in just now is in the horse
registration department, where dollar
bills pay the fee and they are more
often enclosed than checks. All the
