Utahns Would Cooperat e
With Bear Lake In Stock
ing Famous Lake With
Game Species of Fish.

There has been some talk of stock
ing Bear Lake with game fish and
it is probable that the proposition
will receive considerable support
from Cache Valley and Bear Lake
residents who are interested in max
ling this vicinity An attractive -recreas
tion fieldE Fishing is an alluring
land satisfying sportaindulged in by
all classes Of people. The stocking
of Bear Lake with fish which will
take bait or flies would make this
one of the most attractive places
that we have from a recretion point
of view, and would afford not only
health giving sport but also delicious
food as the reward.
There are many game fish adapt
ed to lake waters, which have ma
terial advantages over the native
trout for planting in situations such
as Bear Lake. The native trout
spawn in the spring at such a late
date that they are caught in the irfi-
CATION bitches as they return to the
lake. Some species do not leave
the lakes to spawn, others spawn in
the fall of the year after irrigation
is over, while still others spawn
earlier in the spring than the ma.
tives, and return to the lakes before
irrigation is we'll under way. ANY
of these fish would be likely to pro
Ipagate better than the native trout
in situation such as Bear Lake.

DAVIS IS POPULAR
CHOICE FOR MAYOR
Informal Caucus Held Monday
Night Drew Representa-
tive Attendance New Of
fieers for City Discussedr>


I M. Jeff Davis was the choice of a
largely attended. informal meeting
MONDAY night for candidate for ma
Eor of Montpelier The meeting,
which was held at StaAey's Olympic
was purely for the purpose of dis
cussing in an informal way, candi-t
. dates for mayor and clerk, and wasE
the outcome of previous meeting of
like nature held Friday night, at'
which the name of Mr.. Davis for ma
yor met unanimous favor with the
result that committee composed
OF II. M Nelson, r. A. Sullivan, w.
B. Trowbridge, T. N. Sheldon and
w. G. Staley was appointed to meet
with Mr.. Davis to ascertain IL he
would accept the nomination for ma
yor if the same was rendered him by
the people OF Montpelier. The COM
mittee, after much persuasion felt
reasonably sure that Mr.. Davis would
yield to the wishes of the people
and so reported at Mondays meet
ing
At this point over-enthusiasm
grasped the meeting and for time
it seemed that the meeting would
resolve itself into convention and
select a city ticket right there and
then but when it came to transacting
business under motion to make the
meeting q convention it was found
that such procedure was premature
owing to the fact that the meeting
had not been called with that pur-
pose in view.
The meeting then reverted back
to a strictly informal gathering, and
under this method of procedure j.
seph Bagley took tho floor and NOV
ed that it be the sense Of the meet
ing that M. Jeff Davis be the choice
for mayor. Mr.. Davis received the
hearty support of the meeting. fl
nv Nelson moved that Fred Cruik
shank bo the choice of the meeting
for city clerk, this motion also car
rying unanimously. Harold Toomel
placed the name of H. B. Hull before
the meeting as a candidate for cit,
treasurer and Mr.. Hull was also sup
ported. ~.
Under a new law enacted by thu
l5SlSldJuIGs city OlllCldIS may "
nominated by petition. The office o
mayor requiring petition signed b.
forty registered voters. There wer
forty-two qualified votes in attend
ance at the meeting, and 1t woult
have been possible to have nominal
ed mayor at this meeting but ow
ing to the fact that the meeting hat
been announced as an informal gath
ering it was considered best to fol
low tho procedure as outlined above
After tho meeting had been Gale
to order, r. H. Ferguson was name
as chairman, and Fred L. CruiE
shank, as clerk. The chair rear
pointed the old committee with WI
Trowbridge as chairman to inforI
Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Cruikshank and Nj
Hull of the action of the meeting.
1t is probable that these men VT
be nominated by petition, as will ais
eouneilmen, and these nomination
will bo presented to the rgularl
called mass convention for ratif
cation later. About sixty men an
women attended and showed unusu;
interest in the forthcoming munic
pal election.

LOST OUT BY SMALL MARGIN
Daring Adventurer Played for MllIiona

honest Venture.

A remarkable rogue, at q time when
the competition for that distinction Is
keen, was arrested recently. By
name Surran, before the war he kept
a small shop, eking out his legitimate
profits by receiving stolen goods. This
stage Of his life ended in blaze and
he was sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment for burning down his place
of business to get the insurance
money.
Since the war he has become the
most expert Of all the bandits who
prey on the immense dumps left be-
hind by the American and British,
and by perseverance he got together
a large sum. Last August he tried a
higher flight. Well dressed and suave.
he presented himself at certain
dump in France and bought the whole
place, the sum demanded being IT,
100000 at the present rate Of ex-
change. To arrive at this end with
out actually paying penny to the
government he had to distribute S10,-
600 In brides and tips.
He Immediately started to cart off

was his downfall. He had hardly

National Museum Gets opaIs,

The National museum in Washing

Rice, an opal expert In New York
100 specimens of gem opal in The
rough just as they come from the
only opal mines in the United States.
The opals are red, white. blue, black.
brown, green and purple; two have
replaced fossil wood, and three pos
sibly fossil bones.
The mine is located in Humboldt
county, Nevada, about mile above
sea level and some 200 miles inland
from the Pacific; not very accessible,
since the railroad town of Winnie
mucca is about 120 miles away. Be-
cause of the high altitude, the or
binary water content Of the opals IS
often injuriously affected when they
are removed from the ground.
Thus far, excavation for opals has
gone only to a depth of 20 or 80 feet

EXPERT CATCHING OF TURTLE
Saoan Natives Rely Upon Instinct Of
Species to Bring Them
Profitable Haul.

In the neighborhood Of Cuba a Pc
culiar method of securing turtles Is
pursued. The people train, or at least
take advantage Of the instincts Of a
certain species of fish, called by the
Spanish reve (meaning reversed), be-
cause Its back Is usually taken for its
stomach.
1t has an oval plate attached to its
head, the surface Of which is uaversed
by parallel ridges. By this plate it
can firmly adhere to any solid body
it may choose. The boats which go
In quest Of the turtles each carry q
tub containing a number of these
reeves.
When the sleeping turtles are seen
they are approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough reve Is
thrown into the sea. Upon perceiving
the turtle its instinct teaches it to
swing right toward the turtle and fix
itself firmly upon the creature by
means Of its disk. Sooner would the
reve allow itself to be pulled to pieces
than give up its grip.
A ring which Is attached to the tail
Of the fish, in which string is fastened,
allows the fisherman to pulp in his
prize. By a peculiar manipulation the
reye is pulled Off and returned to the
tub, to be ready for use the next time
a turtle is sighted.
