FISHING CLUB
IS ORGANIZED.

The organization of the Crowley
County Fish and Boating club was
perfected at meeting held last Fri
day, by the adoption of a constitu-
tion and bylaws and the election of
officers. The officers arc as follows:
E. ]. Smith, president.
A. c. Henrie, secretary.
M. It. Nelson, treasurer.
e. E. Hosler, vice president for
Ordway
j. L. Shipler, vice president for
Crowley.
A L. Butcher, vice president for
Olney Springs.
H. ]. Abel, vice president, for Sugar
City.
The association was started by the
Ordway Publicity and Commercial
club and all preliminary work has
been done by this commercial body,
but now that tho club has been full
ly organized the Publicity and Com
mercial club turns over all further
administration of the affairs. 1t was
at the regular Friday luncheon of the
Ordway commercial body that a
fishing and boating club members
and organization made by the cleo
tion of the above officers.
The new association is organized
to stock and protect fish in Lake
Henry and Lake Meredith. 1t was
deemed that two years time would be
necessary to get the lakes in condi-
tion for general fishing by the public,
and during that time an expenditure
of money will be necessary to get
the lakes in condition. the out
lets properly screened and otherwise
carry on the work. For that reason
club was organized. The member
ship fee was fixed at So. half of
which is payable now and the balance
on call of the board of directors.
The club is open for membership
from anyone, no one being barred,
and when time comes for fishing any
one may have the privilege by paying
small fishing privilege fee, for
maintenance purposes.
Those joining the association are
doing it for THE good of the county at
large, not for any special benefit for
there will be no special privileges.
They are virtually donating money in
order to raise fund to get the lakes
where everyone may have good fish
ing. and catch something more than
carp. Already. as has been publish
ed in the New Era. large quantity
of black bass and ringneck perch
have been put in Lake Henry and
other kinds of fish will soon be plant
ed there.
