WARDEN RE|CHMAN
HAS INVESTIGATED
Declares Turbines In Power House
Not Responsible for killing
Fish ~ Has Been
Claimed.
BLASTING, REAL CAUSE
Official Believes That Explosives
Used in Channel Work
ls Really to
Blame.
BLASTING, REAL CAUSE

Much has been written concerning
the effect of the turbines In the
power plant on the fish. and many
people. some expert, others not sc
expert, have given various opinions
on the matter. In order to satisfy
himself, as well as to prove his con.
tention that the turbines had nothing
whatever to do with killing fish in
the river here. Henry F. Reichman,
deputy fish and game warden, asked
permission. from Manager TrawicR
OF the power company to investigate.
This was granted, and he was Civ
en- every assistance possible by the
company, Mr.. Reichmann says. AS a
result of his investigation he finds
that the turbines have nothing to DO
with the dead Ash found below tie
dam. He believes they are kiEed by
charges of dynamite which are used
In deepening the channel or to the
fact that the fish are caught above
the spillway and carried over the
spillway and hurt in this manner
Mr.. Reichmann said last night fol-
lowing his investigation:
Il have made a careful investiga-
ton of the situation through the
kind courtesy Of the management Of
the Mississippi Power company. I
find that there Is no such thing pos
sible as large fish going through
the turbine as there is a heavy bar
netting across the front of these
which prevent fish or drift wood en-
tering. The opening of this bar
netting or meshes are about s or s
inches which would prevent any fish
larger than two or three Founders 60
ing through. II any of the smaller
size did go through, they would go
right on unframed.
investigates spillways.
II also made an investigation Of
the dam and spillways and find the
like this: It might hap
pen that there are some hsh killed
by going through the spillway. This
is not preventible as it is impossible
to govern the course Of swimming
fish, and it might happen that large
fish above the dam wall might come
through the spillway and be dashed
among the broken rocks at the bot
tom of the river in such a manner
that his head would be bruised or
his sides cut to such an extent as to
cause his death.
1T Is mistaken idea that any
number of fish are being killed by
the plant or the dam. I will say
here, my opinion of the killing of
these fish Is that it is caused by the
deepening of the channel of the riv-
Or between the boat landing and the
government lock by drilling and blast.
ng with dynamite. This, however, is
as the channel must be
leepened or blasted out. After the
work is done L think we will all see
hat there will be but very few fish
killed or injured.
ANY one interested in the above,
Wishing to investigate as l have
lone, should see Mr.. C. A. Sears or
Nr. J. A. Trawick. These gentlemen
ire very courteous and obliging and
would be glad to have any one make
he same investigation as I have OR
I they will come to me will explain
II see that they can make the same
as I have DONE"

CHICAGO, June s.-Wheat closed
the week today without any material
change in prices. July was steady and
September closed " under.
Early in the week, glowing pros
poets Of the American crop bore down
on the market It was constantly ar
gued, however, that weather condd-
lions may yet seriously effect the crop
and these arguments prevented a
marked decline. Early In the week,
higher Liverpool cables came to the
rescue of the bull side. There was
good advance IN corn for the week,
July gaining 3 cents and September
Ia. Bullish news from Argentine
and from foreign markets, caused
prices to move upward all week and

tinue to diminish Oats lost q for
July and * for September in the
weeks trading. Plenty Of rain over
the oats belt was the principal bear
factor, while the strength in corn
acted as a steadying influence.
Hog prices at the stock yards were

quently, provision futures registered
gains of from IS to 43 cents, pork
leading the advance.

State Leads in Pea Production.

Wisconsin ranks first in the
production of canning of dry peas.
In 1909, according to the census Of
1910, Michigan was slightly ahead OF
Wisconsin in point of acreage. The
production of dry peas has decreased
in the eastern states during the first
decade OF the present century Maine
produced nearly thirty-six thousand
bushels in 1899 and produced less than
nYe thousand bushels in 1909 In New
York the production fell from 251.SS0
bushels in 1899 to 71,4S6 bushels in
1908, or less than one-third OF the pro.
ductiOn in 1899 The province of On
tarlo in Canada is heavy producer OF
peas, the bulk OF the crop, which
amounts to about thirteen million bush
els yearly, being used principally for
stock feed. Peas are mostly grown in
localities which possess a cool climate.
The pea plant likes cool weather, it
may also take the place Of corn where
this crop does not do we'll because the
summers are not warm enough. Ia
Wisconsin the distribution is about on
NAS 9"i-l5 ~ lACtpAcS, lOI the counties
which produce the largest amounts
also have cool summer climate.
Door county for instance, produses
nearly one-third of the dry pea crop.
while Manitowoc and Kewaunee are
also heavy producers. These three
counties have long growing season
with cool summers. Soil, too, has
great influence on the distribution of
the crop All the important pea-pro-
ducing counties in Wisconsin possess

Want Husky Students for Course.

You can't teach a man not to be a
tenderfoot.' said Prof. A. NJ Cook of
the department OF forestry in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in discussing the
work done in the forest rangers course
in the college of agriculture.
We want farm lads to enter the
course he continued, husky young
fellows who have driven teams and
chopped wood on their fathers home
steads, young men who can endure eX-
posture TO the weather whether it is 40
below or 80 in the shade. and who car
take care of themselves when mothers
and sisters aren't around We want
young fellows who are familiar with
all kinds of manual labor. who are not
afraid to work those who are not de-
luded with the Sdea that a range is a
summer resort.
The aim of the course in forestry in
the University OF Wisconsin is TO train
men for work in the forest reserves
and state parks Practical courses are
given in the theory of seeding and
planting. with field practise at the state
nurseries az Trout lake, IN Villas coun-

The demand for trained men in for

realized. Former cruisers and lumber

ASK EXTRA SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
Officials Present Petition TO Gov

IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED
Request Mccovern to Call Session Be-

State.

Madison A petition for special
session OF the state legislature was
presented to Governor McGoyern by
four state officials, Attorney General
w. c. Owen, Secretary j. S Donald,
Treasurer Henry Johnson and Lieut..
Gov Thomas Morris A reduction OF
100000 in the new state tax levy by
repeal of appropriations for highway
aid and public buildings is given as a
reason for the petition.
The state executive is expected to
announce his decision within a few
days Neither OF the officials
would indicate what was the appar-
ent attitude OF the governor when they
met him to present the petition. They
remained in conference for an hour
The last legislature, the longest and
most expensive in the history of the
state, came TO its expiring moments

Governor McGoYern at that time pro-
tested that there were items in the
appropriation bills that he did not APP
prove but, under the arrangement
which the legislature had made, he
must approve the whole or veto the
whole, and he chose the former course.
At that time the executives sug-
gestion was received as an imperti-
nence.
There seems to be a general impress
sion in the statehcuse that Governor
McGoyern will call a special session.
The petition requests the governor
to call the session at the earliest pos
sible time, and that notice of its con
vening be given in order to advise the
people of the state prior to the annual
town meetings on April Z. when the
electors are called to vote highway
