HATCHERY NOW CERTAIN
Supplies for Warield Dam Establish
ment Reach Bemidji and Will
. Be Ready for Spring.
CITY TO ERECT BUILDING

Bemidji is to have pike hatchery
next spring. the game and fish COM
mission having sent the material for
it's equipment, all of which reached
here this morning.
S. C. Bailey, chief game warden,
received notice from the executive
agent yesterday that the complete
paraphernalia had been collected and
sent and that the commission would
assist in every way possible to make
the plan a success. The equipment
received includes jars and batteries,
in fact everything for use in mod
ern pike hatchery.
The commission will provide an ex-
perienced man during each hatch
ing season and he will have charge
of the fry. Most of the fry will be
distributed in Lake Bemidji and
other lakes in this vicinity, stock
ing them in such manner that the
good angling of the past will con-
tinue indefinitely. ~
It was just year ago that the
matter of the establishment of a
hatchery first was brought to the at
Ftetion Of the Commercial club, F. S.
Lycan, at that time suggesting that
such an institution would be a great
asset for the city and guarantee
of the splendid fishing conditions to
be found herei
The value of Lycan's idea was i'm
mediately realized and he was Sc
lected as being the proper person to
make a request of the commission
for the establishment of the hatch
cry. He made several trips to St.
Paul and finally received the consent
of the board to equip a hatchery,
should the citizens of Bemidji build
it.
Subscriptions brought the required
finances but nothing more was DONE
Whether the commission would do
anything next spring was doubtful,
but by their late action it becomes evil
dent that it intends to comply with
it's promises. s.-
The hatchery will be built at the
Warfield Dam, location there being
ideal for such purpose.
