BEMIDU MEN FAVOR
RED LAKE FISHERY

Bemidji business men are eagerly
placing their signatures on petitions
requesting that the legislature pass
the bill providing for revolving
fund to enable the game and fish COM
missioner to continue the work of
taking fish from the waters of the
state and disposing of them to the
people of the state at low cost. The
bill includes within its scope, the
fisheries which have been so success
fully operated at Red Lake.
We are informed" says the petit
ton, that certain interests who are
engaged in the business of selling
fish in the markets are opposing this
bill. We believe the people of the
state shout dbe given the benefit Of
this supply of fish at the lowest pos
sihle price. We know from the ex-
perience Of the past year.. the work
OF the commissioner in gathering and
dRpos1ng of such fish throughout the
state has been of great benefit to the
people. Every encoura cement should
be given to this industry"
