life In fact, Majors lake is averi-
table fish reservoir.
The Honorable Ellis Good, rep
resentative from Nemaha county,
has called the attention of the gov
ernor to the opportunities for re-
plenishment OF the waters OF the
state with fish from this lake. He
has asked that an engineer from
the state highway department,
with Superintendent O'Bricn and
Warden Roster, make a survey OF
the lake. ascertain what require
lnents will be needed in diking and
retaining the waters therein for
the preservation OF the fish at all
seasons of the year.
Rates Are High.
In the even that this can be done
it is probable that an appropria-
ton will be made to purchase the
tract and convert it into fish,
pond. from which duripgf the sea-
son the fish can be distributed all
over the state. Mr.. Roster says
that more than 80 cars of fish can
be taken from its waters each year
and that the greatest expense in
volved will be that of transporta-
ton of the fish car.

slammed out to his bath, while
Helen lay back claimed by rush Of
dizziness.
1t was only the second day out,
and it had not been rough. Yet just
the ships vibration had brought on
.hat sickening pressure in throat and
chest.
She longed 10 get out 10 her deck

and the chill air freshly reviving.
But now Warren had insisted on
laving breakfast in the room and
not getting up until lunch.
I The very thought OF food in that
small, stuffy statcpbom was revolt
ing. But in travelling her wishes
were never consid> red. His inclina-
tons dictated the plans for them
both.
This hurried business trip to
Paris had come unexpectedly, with
only three days notice. Drcading
to be left alone, Helen had begged
10 go with him. He had grudgingly
consented, warning her that a win
ter's trip might not be pleasant, and
that she must take things as she
found them and not "fuss."
A knock at her door, and the bath
steward annoupced that her bath
was ready.
Tucking her hair under a boudoir
cap, Helen threw on her quilted XII
i,dno and swayed down the long,
white corridor.
She bolted the bathroom door with
pleasant consciousness that every

gave thronelike effect.
The tepid sea water was stimu-

their stateroom, eager to dress and
get out on deck before that gnaw-
.ng nausea returned.
The steward had just brought in
the coffee, the first installment OF
their breakfast. Warren. again in
his berth, was directing the placing
OF the tray.

she gave him another roll and picked
up his napkin that had slid to the
floor.

Again Helen forced herself from

She set the tray in the only clear

the basket too heavy to lift.

By JOHN H. KEARNES.

During the pas, two weeks State
Game Warden Roster has. planted
in Garter lake, for the future
pleasure of Omaha anglers, a
quarter of = million fish, consist
ing Of builheadS, ring perch, blue
gills, crappies, sunflsh and bass,
which he took from veritable fish
mine in Nemaha county.
Since the beginning Of opera
tions few weeks ago Nix Roster
has transferred from Majors lake,
situated a mile west of Peru, in
the southeastern part of the state,
six carloads of fish, or nearly
- 100000 in all, which he trans
planted in lakes and water courses
in the vicinity Of Fremont, Oma-
liza and Wayne.
He estimates there are over
sts000,000 fish, or Is carloads re-
naming in that body of water, ana
which will undoubtedly perish this
winter when the lake freezes over.
Runs Into Missouri.
Majors lake is body of water
that covers ABOUT 80 acres close to
the bluffs in the Missouri river bot
toms near. the Normal school
town. 1t is only two feet in dcptt
and is rich in marine vegetable
growths which makes it an ideal
feeding and propagating ground
for the flnny deEizens. The lake
is fed by three springs, and, by the
overflow waters of the Missouri
river during the fall and spring
rises. A drainage canal debouches
from the body Of water and runs
to the Missouri river.
During high water periods this
is veritable fishway for all of the
different species of fish in the
stream and they make their way
from the main stream to the lake
in search of food and breeding
grounds. There they remain, lurcd
by the rich stores of natural food,
and they becomS so fat, lazy and
contented that they ignore the
warnings of nature as given by the
receding waters of the river floods
and eventually become landlocked.
Greed Brings Downfall.
Some seasons their greed and
content leads to a complete an
inhalation of the tons of fish that
populate the lake and they perish
because of drought, or smother
when the freezing weather sets in
for the sheet of water is so shall
low that it freezes to the bottom.
The amount OF fish life in these
so acres is inccnceivable. Since
operations for removing part OF
the fish in the lake started the men
doing the seining for the game
and scmi-game fish have taken up
scores of tons OF coarse food fish,

The crappie, bass and perch are

At Gretna the state OF Nebraska
maintains one of the really notable

his work with the car was limited.
In number of cases, especially in
those of Wayne and Fremont, citi-
liens i'll the respective communi-
ties betrayed the cost of replen-
ishing the waters near their towns
with the fish taken from Majors
lake.
Contiguous TO Majors lake, but
closer to the Missouri river, is an
ether lake OF considerable area,
and which. is accessible for the fish
car, which is literally teeming with
fish of a different species. The
varieties found therein are the blue,
yellow and channel catfish, which
only propagate i'll running water.
These Are Impounded.
These fish were impounded dur
ing overf1ows of~the nearby river,
and they are now of considerable
size. From this lake could be
stocked such streams as the Blue,
Republican, Elkilorn. Verdigris.
Niobrara, Wood, Beaver and
North Loup rivers, and the count
less living streams and creeks in
the state.
This would not only be a work
OF conservation in the develop
ment of vast supply of food fish
in the state, but it would also in
crease the possibilities for in
diligence III the sport of angling
III sections where this is now prac-
tically impossible because of the
lack of fish life in the overhshed
streams, especially III the more ac-
cessible and dcnselY populated
portions OF the state.
Ecorfomy of Handling.
These lakes could also. be used
for the stocking OF private ponds
and lakes of the state where FISH
could Be raised in large quanti-
ties for food purposes There arc
several large ponds on farms in
this part of the state which arc
bringing in good revenue to the
owners.
The possibilities of these lakes
as an auxiliary to the state fish
tatchcries where the finer game
fish are propogated in limited
quantities, and rather cxpensively,
arc limitless, bo'ii because of vast
production aud cconoQy OF
handling.
As it is now the lakes are neg
lectcd and the tons and tons o.
fish litc, laboriously produced by
nature, arc doomed to annual de-
struction by nature itself. The laws
will not permit citizens OF the state
to seine or catch the game hsh
and save them for food even when
the lakes are drying up or freez-
ing over.
Game Warden Roster estimates
that the smaller sized FISH which he
transplanted from Majors lake to
Carter lake, and the waters about
Fremont and Wayne, will be large
enough to catch in three years. A
large proportion OF them will bite
and \be worth taking home the
coming spring aud summer. There

Or from clear water lakes and

There are countless thousands

Surrounded by a historic setting of
great significance. the one hundredth
anniversary of Odd Fellowship in
America was fittingly observed yes

Allison. Grand Chaplain. delivered
the sermon. His text was Isaiah
32:2. "A man shall be as a hiding
place from the winds. as the Shadow
OF a great rock in q weary lant. !"
His theme was the glory and MIN
istry Of ideal manhood. He said the
prophet in thought lenped from dead
rocks to living men, and as in the
desert the rocks afford shelter and
protection. and here is found the
oasis, so the strong man shelters the
weak. and blcsSes humanity, by his
ministry.
The speaker referred in splendid
way to the principles of the order in
helping the needy.
Rev. Edgar Carpenter and the pas
