Des Moines.-Plans of the sports
men of Iowa to spend from $4,000 to
$4,000 in improving and developing
the lakes and resorts of Iowa during
the present year approved by the state
executive council. +. G. Hinshaw of
Spirit Lake, state game warden, APP
peared before the board and outlined
the plans which will be carried out.
This money will be used by the fish
and game commission and comes from
the hunters license fund, under the
direction Of the executive council and
state game warden.
THE move to improve the lakes
and summer resorts of the state" said
Mr.. Hinshaw, sis one of the most
popular that could be made at this
time. There has been more dissatis-
faction and unfavorable comment
made on the proposed drainage of
Wall lake than of any proposition
that has ever been up for considera-
ton in the state in my recollection.
'The plan laid before the executive
council, and which was accepted is
to purchase large dredging machine
Of the centrifugal pump type, to cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000 With
this dredge we will deepen and clean
out a number of the lakes OF the
state, making them suitable for the
propagation of game and fish and suit
able for pleasure resorts. The lakes
which will be improved first are lit
tie Wall lake in Hamilton county,
Rush lake in Palo. Alto county, Goose
lake in Green county, Four Mile lake
in Emmett county and Lizard lake
in Pocahontas county. East Twin
lake in Hancock county will be i'm
proved by the erection OF large state
dam IS soon as the weather permits
next spring. Sportsmen in the vicin-
operate with us in securing funds by
popular subscription. We will prob
ably spend from $4,000 to 49,, 900 this
year, and that will be only start in
case the work is found practical.
