PROF. COOLEY HEADS
SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY

At the last meeting of the Ameri-

ologists held in New York City, De-
cember 27-3O, Professor r. A. Cool
ey, of the Montana State college and
entomologist of the Montana expert
ment station, was elected president
of that organization.
This association has for its aim the
furthering of the interests of econ
omic entomology in America and
deals largely with those insect prob
lens wich are of greatest interest to
the farmer. 1t publishes a monthly
magazine which is the official paper
of the organization and which,
among other things, reports the pro-
ceedings of the national meetings
that are held each year. The mem
bership, active and associate, in
cludes virtually all the entomologists
of any note in the United States and
Canada.
Professor Cooley has been con-
nected with the Montana experiment
station and professor of entomology
and zoology at Montana State col
lege since 1899 and has always been
active in investigational work relat
ing to insect pests and their control.

MILLION TROUT TO Be
DISTRIBUTED IN STATE
BOHEMIAN HATCHERY GETS
COLORADO SHIPMENTS,
Plans Under Way for Extensive
Spring Operations by Employees of
Bureau of Fisheries ON Madison
and Its Tributaries.

A million young eastern brook
trout, developed from spawn of wild
trout in the state of Colorado, will
soon be distributed at various points
in the state OF Montana. Superin-
tendent w. II. Thompson, in charge
of the government hatchery at Boze-
man, which is receiving three ship
ments of young eastern brook trout
from the hatchery at Leadville, Colo,
is making plans for their delivery at
suitable points in Montana.
The bureau of fisheries workers
prefer to get the eggs of the Wild
trout rather than domestic fish, al
though most of the eastern brook
trout eggs are domestic in origin.
Already plans for the extensive
spring operations of the Bozeman
hatchery on the Madison and it's trib-
utaries are being made. For one
thing, more grayling spawn will be
collected this coming season than ev-
er before. The people are beginning
to appreciate the excellent qualities
of this native Montana fish, and the
fisheries experts plan to keep ahead
of the demand if possible The equip
ment has been increased, and a vast
quantity of grayling eggs, as we'll as
a collection of rainbow trout eggs,
which it is hoped will be larger than
before, will be taken.

ployes of the Northern Pacific have
just been equipped with an electric
lantern. l have always kept up in
these things pertaining to railroad
construction. If a new shovel comes
out | know all about it before the
man who has to use it does. But this
electric lantern is certainly an inno-
walton. 1t weighs about the same as
the old oil lamps, and is equipped
with dry battery that will keep it
burning for 72 hours. A lot of
these lanterns have been shipped out
to Livingston, and now all the sec
ton men are carrying them. 1t is
great to be an electrically equipped

ELECTRIC LANTERNS
FOR RAILR0ADERS

Cal Hubbard is one of the well-to-
do men of northern Montana. He is
prominent politically, too, and the
only reason that he is not the present
mayor OF Great Falls is that he did
not get enough votes at the last mu-
nicipal election.
When Cal started for Montana he
was shorter of cash than he now is.
He ran out of money down below
Glendive. Being a man of resource
and muscle he went to work on the
section. 1t was while he was work
ing on the section that he learned to
speak Irish, and that gave him the
idea of going into politics.

This is to notify our customers
that there is a very serious shortage
of fish this year. Fishermen are
catching SO few fish that we must
pay higher prices to keep them fish
ing or they would not be even able to
make expenses. The most serious
shortage is on pickerel and herring
and prices on these fish are very
high. Look for prices to advance
again very soon. .sut rest assured
that we have the fish we advertise to
sell and will ship at our advertised
prices and we have the fish to fill all
orders.

Has the Cast Tractor come to stay?
To this / say yes. This is the ques-
tion being discussed on every hand,
and why?
This same question has been asked
about every machine that has been
fnvented,-the plow, reaper, thresh-
er, locomotive, steamboat, steam en-
gine, bicycle automobile, and now
the tractor. All of these machines
have outlived their criticism and
proved their worth. Why not the gas
tractor?
The reaper was retarded by incom-
petent operators, and laborers re-
fused to work for the farmer who
owned one; the thresher did not save
the grain; the locomotive was dan
gerous and travelled too fast.
The citizens of the New England
states once petitioned congress to
pass law to prohibit railroad train
from travelling to exceed seven miles
per hour. Laws were enacted to pro-
hibit steamboats, being operated on
canals, owing to the fact that they
made large waves and washed away
the bank. The steam tractors
scared the horses and set fires;
the bicycle also scared horses and was
prohibited from the highway; the au-
tomobile equally so, and laws were
enacted that retarded the progress Of
these articles so years.
