HALF A CAR OF TROUT
TO Be RELEASED IN PINE

In a few weeks Rainbow car will
arrive at Weston from the Bonnie
vile fish hatchery, and part Of its
contents will be released in Pine
creek above the waterworks dam,
where there is perpetual running
water. The remainder will be de-
posted in trout streams in the
neighborhood Of Milton.
This news, gratifying TO local an
glers, was obtained from George
Tonkin, state deputy game warden,
who visited Weston Tuesday. Mr..
Tonkin said the shipment would
contain several different varieties of
trout about the length Of ones fir
ger, and that they will be ready for
the hook in about another season.
This shipment aside, the pros
poets are that Pine creek will be
better trout stream this spring than
for a dozen years or more. The
fish ladder put in by farmers in the
Hudson Bay district to make pas
sage way for the finny tribe over
d high fall, is said to be working
nicely. In this event Pine creek

priations should be allowed. and
it is q matter Of elimination. and
putting their stamp ON the ap-
preparations that are just and
necessary.
We have several conditions
facing US which makes it more
difficult than in most Sessions.
1t is estimated by the Chairman
of the Appropriation Committee
that there is 50. 694, 600. 90 avail
able in revenues for the next two
years.
Appropriations for State Gov
ernment and Penal Institutions
will require $500. 10000 more
than this amount. 1t is suggest
ed that appropriations for GER
tain boards and bureaus be cut
down. and as near as can be
estimated at the present time
there will be $3.50, 900. 90 less In
heritance tax for this present
biennial period than was collect
ed in the last and also the direct
revenues. but a decrease in the
value Of State property will be
5000, 10000 less, SO we are,
therefore, facing a decrease in
revenues, on top of the appro-
priations which will be necessary
to allow in the way of taking
care of State Government and
Penal Institutions. The Indust-
rial, Utilities and Inheritance
Department each require $l5,-
000. 90 more than two years ago,
on the account of threatening
war conditions the Governor has
asked for an appropriation of
5000, 600. 90 to be set aside as
available funds in case of an
emergency call to be used in the
mobilization purposes in event
of war.
The Geological Survey, through
the State Geologist. r. V. George
has asked for an appropriation
of $50, 000.0 90 to be. used in MAX
ing a geological survey of the
state. and this is something
that should be taken care Of as
very little is known in an au-
thoritive way as regarding our
minerals, oils and Goals of our
state. This appropriation also
provides funds for a thorough
inspection by the geological de-
partment of the water conditions
especially in our part of the
state. and a study of these con-
ditions will be made with the
purpose of finding what water to
be used for domestic and irriga.
ton purposes, and this alone
will be of great value to our
people.
The Chairman of the Appro-
priation Committee, Mr. Ardourel
has advised with the Senate FL
nance and Appropriation Com
mittees, and has virtually
promised that this appropriation
will be taken care of, and the
people of Lincoln, Cheyenne and
Kit Carson counties shou Id feel
Ereatful to T. T. Williams who
has been active in his efforts to
secure this appropriation. as he
feels that it will be of great
value to his community, and
this entire appropriation propo-
sition is something that is of the
greatest Importance to the State.
because all of the amount of
moneys expended in the way of
taxation or otherwise, must be
taken care Of by this committee.
and by the present system il
throws a burden on their should
ers, as in a short time they must
secure information in the way of
ascertaining the merits of claims
of the varions Institutions and
interests asking for these appro-
priations.

NorA"sIRAFE" BUT DEFENSE

The Iowa defense council asks the
schools Of the state TO abolish the
study of German from all the public
schools Of the commonwealth. A
special committee was appointed 10
draft resolutions to be sent TO every
public school board IN Iowa urging it
10 take the action suggested. This
committee !s Lafe Young, Sr, Colonel
French Of Davenport, and Truman
Potter, Of Mason City.
One Of the members expressed him
self thus:
II parents living in Iowa want their
children schOoIed in German, let them
send them 70 institutions other than
TO the public schools where the tax
payers will not be subjected to an extra
| tax for the teaching of the Teutonic
| language.
To some the action OF the war coun-
ell may seem trivial and inspired by
hatred; but the names on that commit
tee are not those of trivial men or Of
! .nen !!keIy 70 take public action as
public servants without reason.
That long campaign OF diplomatic
preparation accompanied the growth OF
, the military scheme to suojugate the
world is now fully understood. II
went into public life and private affilia-
lions alike. II fastened Oh every manu-
hold and did not neglect the public
schools and educational institutions OF
every character. The boosted efficiency
left no loophole unentered.
Captain Won GIotz, former secret
agent of the kaiser's government, in

man propaganda was planned and car
ried on in the United States. His re-

DOESN'T TEiS SETTLE lI7

The records show that but twenty
nine soldiers from Camp Dodge have
been arrested for drunkenness since
the camp opened.
That record is highly creditable to
the city of Dies Moines and the char
acter OF the officers in charge Of the
cantonment.
It is most Creditable to the state of
Iowa and the legislation which brought
circumstances and conditions together
to make such a record possible.
Thirty thousand men, the voting
population of city of 10000, furnish
but twenty arrests for intoxi alton
during a period of months. It IS a
wonderful record. 1t is a record that
probably no such community can match.
Above and more than all it is credit
able to the men themselves, the char
acter of the men of the middle north!
west.
But despite the splendid character
Of the ConscrLpt division at Camp
Dodge imagine what the record would
have been had the saloons been run
ming and haunting their attractions
along the streets. Probably the cases
Of intoXication largely exceed the ar
rests; but imagine what it would have
been with the trar. SET al every corner
and in every spot where soldiers con-
gregate and pass in large numbers.
Do we need any better illustration
Of what dry state means 10 men and
cities and states in war and in peace ?
