Poor Tackle Is Worse Than

strength and awlcwardness to test the
strength of your tackle. You can put
strain enough on your outfit keeping a
big bass away from the weeds or
rushes

I'm fishing for black bass numerous

emily give satisfaction, according to
the taste of the Individual; but some
how there is always an objector who
steps in and seemingly rifles the par
tisans of certain kind of lure nick
named the plug, the users of which
are called pluggers,' says Peter A.
Farley in The New York Sun.
I'm all kinds of fishing there is
usually an undesirable element that
can never be taught the true mean
ing Of the word sportsman. This be-
ing the case, 1t must be distinctly
understood that this is written in de-

innate manner.
eliminating the 'gangsters' or those
who use a cluster of three hooks on all
sides of the plug and dealing only
with men who use two or three hooks
entirely distinct and separated, what
objection can any one have against
these men?
Surely a piece Of wood without
hooks Is as harmless as an unattached
fly, and consequently plug with
hook on each side is no more brutal
than a single hook, no matter what
may be attached to it, for in either
case the fish Is caught on plain,
simple, everyday hook.
I'm fly fishing more than one hook
is permitted, then why not more than
one on a plug, provided they are so
arranged as to enable the bass to fight
for freedom without a second hook
interfering? To attach himself to two
hooks Numerically opposite would be
an extremely difficult stunt for even
bass to attempt; in fact he would have
to assume the shape of a squirming
eel to do it.
THE fact that contests are entered
into whereby the apparatus which
killed the largest number of bass wins
the prize has no bearing on the mat
ter whatsoever, because every lure is
made for the selfsame purpose-proft
or gain.
IF an angler finds that the flies he
uses give poor results, does he not
buy better ones? 1t is not so much for
the killing that different kinds of
plugs are invented as it is. to make
them attract or fool the bass, the same
thing holding true in the making or
ony other kind of lure. The fisherman
does the killing. Furthermore there
are 'executioners' in every kind of
fishing; why then should all pluggers
be condemned because a few butchers
(who use the same lure but with a
gang of hooks attached) care not how
they catch their fish?

WHY FIsH SMOTHER.
A bulletin issued by the Minnesota
game and Ash commission says:

A bulletin Issued Dy the MlnneSOLd
game and fish commission says:
There is a great deal Of misinfor-
nation prevalent in regard to the cause
Of the death of fish in shallow lakes
and ponds in late winter, which often
occurs, and a mistaken notion that the
maintenance Of fish houses on lakes
and the keeping open of few holes
in the ice will save the fish.
1.-THE condition generally occurs in
shallow lakes with muddy bottoms
which contain or are covered with a
large amount Of decomposing vegetable
matter, the process of decomposition
releasing various gases which are in
furious to fish and consuming the oxy-
gen in the water. Many inquiries are
being made every winter If the main
tenance Of fish houses and keeping
small holes open will not prevent the
death from this cause. Mr.. Cobb, SUI
perintendent of fisheries, in order to
have authoritative scientific opinion
on the subject, addressed letter Of
inquiry to DR.. Henry B. Ward, in
charge Of the department of zoology of
the University of Illinois, an eminent
authority on ichthyology. DR.. Ward in
his reply to Mr.. Cobb writes as fol-
lows: ..-
"'Dear Mr.. Cobb:
"'Your letter Of Feb is at hand.
The situation is interesting and the
argument attractive, but ! think there
is absolutely nothing in 1t. 1t is true
that beneath the ice the oxygen in the
water tends to diminish through the
winter. It is, however, seldom greatly
reduced unless the bottom Of the lake
is foul and the decomposition excess
ive In such lakes as you have the re-
duction in oxygen during the winter
would not be extreme.
"'Since oxygen enters the water nor
mally when the surface is agitated and
is disseminated through the water by
such agitation, it is evident that the
amount which could enter through an
opening such as you suggest Is ex-
ceedingly small and in the absence of
current would not influence the main
body of the water to any appreciable
extent.
FINALLY it should be noted that
fish do not come to the surface or to
such opening in order to secure air.
They breathe through the contact OF
the gills with the water in which they
are swimming and only in extreme
conditions do they benefit directly from
the air in contact with the water. In
my opinion the assistance afforded the
oxygen supply by maintaining fish
houses and openings on the Ice Is 80
trif1ing as to be set aside without con-
Sideration"

Great Indian Event
Is Slated for June
Month at Detroit

their great fights waged upon It's
shores.
When the two tribes finally decided
that there was enough fish in the
lakes and game in the woods for all
of them a great pow WOW was held
Leading chiefs and medicine men of
the two nations gathered in council.
A treaty was made and sealed by
smoking the pipe of peace. Then fol-
lowed the celebration with feasting
and dancing and contests Of strength
and skill.
Those who had been hereditary en-
emies for many generations became
hereditary friends. Each year 1t has
been the custom Of the Wahpeton
and SiSseton Sioux to trek across the
country west of Browns valley to
White Earth. They travelled in long
trains, in the early days, on foot with
ponies carrying their camp equip
ment. Later they followed the wagon
trails that the white man had cut
through the wilderness and great
variety Of vehicles were used in max
ing the annual pilgrimage. Things
have changed and some of the pill
grims now make the $50 mile trip in
a single day by automobile.
Many Of the Chippewas have chung
to the old ways and still live in tap
ees. Some of the full-bloods still
follow the ancient customs Of the
tribe. The annual celebration means
more to them than anything else ex
cept annuity day-when they receive
payment Of their share of the money
paid by the government. They come
from the distant villages and unset
tied sections of the reservation to at
tend the big feast. 1t is the only
time during the summer that they as
semble at White Earth in numbers.

ton is we'll worth the trip; and IL

bers Of the summer colony to join the
natives in making the excursion to

to hold your line when it is wet. Bear
in mind the fact that the line fulls up
when wet and is about one-third larger
than when dry.
The line should be strong and OF
medium size. although you are not
likely to buy one that is too heavy II
you choose silk. II you want a service
able line don't buy one of silk that Is
below is pounds test. The line gets
weaker every time you use it, even If
your rod has agate guides and tip.
A linen line will require a larger reel
to hold the same number of yards
than a silk line needs.
This brings the fisherman to the
business end of the line. The kind of
fish and the sort of fishing will govern
the "fixin's' to be attached. That is a
story all by itself.
There is no necessity for an elahor-
ate outfit If one wants to fish. A cane
pole a stout cotton line and few
hooks will give one an outfit that most
of us would have envied in our younger
days. 1t will probably bring into the
boat as many pounds Of fish as will be
landed by the angler with his rod, reel
and other paraphernalia.

the line is all over the reel.
After considerable practice he AM

The above description along with
the arguments proceeding go to show,

one as well. He criticizes no other kind

from them; merely wants to be let
