LARGE FUND NEEDED i.
FOR STOCKING LAKES.
SAYS GAME WARDEN

st. Paul, Jan. 28.-"If the Mime
sota's Ten Thousand Lakes assocla-
tion figures on bringing, about TO-
100000 tourists from other states to
Minnesota for summer fishing during
the next few seasons, the game and
fish commission will have to have
more than $4,000 with which to
nav for the restocking of our 10, 600
lakes with game fish. We can't do
much restocking at an expense Of 81
per lake." laughingly declared Carlos
Avery, state game and fish commis-
sioner. &% ~ .,-..
The commission expended $780,
295 last year, and 1t is asking the
Legislature for s228,000 for the COM
ing fiscal year, beginning August T.
with an additional $4,000 for the
fiscal year beginning August l, 1920.
The commission will need more
money partly because the work OF re-
stocking the states lakes with game
fish is being greatly extended In re-
sponse to demand from the people
in every section, and partly because
the expense of transportation Is
greater since the government took
control of the railroads.
The government charges for haul
ing the car in which young fry are
distributed among the lakes and
streams of the state are more than
three times. as great as the charges
were before the government took
control and the expense of the work
in general is 25 per cent greater.
1--WE do not need additional laws
to enable US to restock lakes like
Chetak. We can do that under the
present laws, and we are doing 1T
right along" continued Mr.. Avery.
what we need is money to pay the
expenses. AS to clearing such lakes
as Chetak of rough fish, 1t is not
practicable. We would have to drain
the lakes and clean them thoroughly.
The best we can do is to keep down
the number of rough fish by seining
under the supervision of the state,
so they will not destroy the game
fish entirely"

EXTRA CONGRESSIONAL
SESSION Is CERTAIN

Z" Washington, Jan. 2S.--An extra
session of congress next spring now
seems certain in the view Of both
democratic and republican leaders.
Managers of both parties said they
did not believe 1t would be possible
to pass all pressing legislation be-
fore the expiration Of this congress
on March 4 =. Most leaders believe
the new session will begin in May.
With but 81 working days OF the
present session remaining, appropria-
tion bills are to be rushed this week.
Only six of the 16 regular supply
bills have been passed by the house
and none by the senate. Besides the
regular appropriation measures sew
erhl special money bill, including the
new deficiency measure and the
$3.50, 100000 request Of the rail-
road administration, await action.
