ing to spear fish which were ascend
ing small stream to spawn. They
were brought before Justice Billmeyer.
the man with the spear being fined
SIS and the rest We're released.
The Plains Rod and Gun club has
been stocking Dog lake with fish fry
for the last 10 years. The fish have
been in the habit of going up the inlet
Of the lake to spawn. Many people
have been tAging advantage Of this and
have been taking advantag &c Of this and
otherwise catching the fish In the
small stream. 1t is thought to b.
useless to restock the lake as long as
people will despol the spawning
grounds.
Parties have gone at night and have
shat and speared fish BY the use Of
flashlights.
SO much of this has occurred lately
that the game warden has decided to
post Dog lake as spawning ground
The penalty for interfering with
spawning is much more severe than
that for illegal fishing.

Celebration and Grain Fes-
tival Planned for Mo-
mentous Event.
WORKING OUT DETAILS
New Northern Pacific Ex-
tension to Give Impetus
to Live City.

Poison. May 7.--(Spccial.) 1.-THE
committees having in charge the celc-
bration OF the opening of the railroad
are all busy and details will soon be
ready for publication. The committee
is glad to learn that Missoula will have
a large share in the celebration by
coming here on the first train.
The agricultural display will be one
of the great features of the celebration
and the products will be at their best
about the time that the road will be
opened. Poison having such an enor-
nous territory to draw from and re-
ceiving four times as much grain as
any other point on the new railroad
will naturally he the place where the
largest elevators will be built. In view
of the increased acreage. a very con
sentative estimate made by experts is
that upwards Of 100000 bushels of
wheat will be marketed at Poison OH
this crop. This after making full al
loWance for the small quantity of grain
from southeast of Poison that will pos
sibly go to the new town of Flathead,
that being the only point that can draw
a bnshcl of grain from Poison. There
fore the grain display will be one Ut
tho greatest ever shown in Montana
not excepting the state fair.
AS the new $4,000 hotel will be prac-
tically completed by the time the first
train comes in. it will probably open
at that time.
All of the other features of the ccle :
bration will be on n like scale, cspe-
cially the water features, which will
include beside the aquatic sports lake
sail for the special guests such as tile
state officials and the Missoula Cham
Der Of Commerce. AS Polson1was first
in the field. the announcements being
made more than n month ago. it has
had time to make the arrangements
complete in every detail to insure sue
cess and provide for the enjoyment OF
the guests of the city. 1t will not doubt
be u treat to the small villages along
the line to see the first train come

celebration at the terminal city
