WANT FishWAY At kEokuK.
Anglers Complain Migrating Fish Are
Leaving Upper River,

Winona, Mimi, April IA demand
upon the government that fishway
be maintained at the Keokuk dam Is
being sent from practically all organ
lzations of fishermen along the upper
river. SO pressing Is the demand. be-
coming that IL is believed federal ac-
tion will soon be taken,
The dam. II is asserted. is n damper
in the river for migrating fish. Once
they get over the dam and are below
1t they never can come above Ii.
Until the dam was constructed there
were many skipjacks in the Missis-
sippi. They are of little value as fish,
but were OF great importance 10 Ash
ermen establishing the haunts OF bass
and pike.
Pike and bass. say the fishermen,
are not migrating fish. In other words
the building of the dam at keokuk has
not materially affected the number or
these fish in the upper Mississippi. But
the skipjacks migrate freely. Prac-
tically all of them have gone below
this dam and there are no skipJacks IN
schools along dams and reefs today.
And therefore. bass and pike hshing
affords new problems for the fisher
man.

April %. resulted in the statement by
the war department. at the request of

effect that at least part of the 16sth
infantry Of the Rainbow division was
on the Atlantic ocean bound for home,
while inquiry Of the war department in
Washington caused the statement that
the regiment is still in France and list
ed for early convoy.
Wives of several officers have re-
ceived cablegrams declaring their hue
bands on the way home and dispatches
from Council Bluffs report that two Of
that citys veteran units, Company l.
and hospital unit X. are due TO arrive
at an Atlantic port next Tuesday.

dietary committee censuring the gov
ernor, 1t accepted the majority report

ney generals. actions. but declares he.

ity report recommending censure #
Havner for the majority report was
defeated by a vote of So against to
49 for. It would have required a con-
stitutional majority of 55 votes TO pass
the motion.
The house then accepted the major
ity report by acclamation.
Two addresses were irade on the
Havner reports, Representative T. p.
Harrington, Of Kossuth county. chair
man Of the judiciary committee, spoke
In favor Of the report, while Repre-
sentative W. F.. Moore. of Guthrie
county, urged adoption Of the minority

I'VE further find that the agreement

torney general was done IN good faith
and only after consultation with men
of wide experience in criminal mat
ters."
"The agreement" referred to was the
dropping of certain indictments voted
