STATE FISHING

Fishing is an industry of CONNER
cial Importance in Wisconsin with an
investment of over $1,5OO,0OO and en-
ploying over 1900 men, according to
figures of James Nevin, head of the
division of fisheries of the conserva-
ton commission. This state was
shown to lead Illinois, Michigan and
Indiana, other lake states, in the vol
ume of it's fishing business
Because of the value of the food
fish in Lake Michigan, Wisconsin is
more interested in their propagation
in the lake and in Green Bay than it
is in the other outlying waters under
control of the state, Mr.. Nevin stated
Two hatcheries have beer established
on the shore of the lake, one at She
boygan and one at Sturgeon Bay for
the purpose of maintaining the food
fish supply along the shores of Wis
consin and to assist the United States
bureau of fisheries and the state of
Michigan in keeping the waters
stocked with better varieties of food
fish
Whitefsh and lake trout are the
principal food fish, and are holding
their own, despite the great drain on
the supply, it was said. There was
shown to have been great falling
off in the amount of lake sturgeon
during the past 80 years. In 1880
there were $685. pounds caught,
while in 1917 the total catch was TO-
sos pounds. No attempt has been
made to propagate this variety of
fish
In 1880 the amount Of lake trout
caught in the whole lake amounted to
2,659,45 pounds as compared to 1917
when the catch totaled 8,650,715
pounds. The whitefish catch OF 1880
was 8,672,22O, and in 1917 was S,O47,.
$40.
More than fifty per cent of the lake
trout caught were taken from the nets
of commercial fishermen operating in
waters adjacent to Wisconsin, Mr.
Nevin said, while the great bulk OF
the whitefsh were from Michigan
waters.

Mrs. Catherine Adams
Passed Away Jan. Il
Death Caused. by Heart Trouble
at Advanced Age of 80
Years-Funeral Will
be Saturday

An accute attack of heart trouble
caused the death of Mrs. Catherine
Adams at the home of her son, Chas
H. Adams, at a. m. Thursday, Jan
uary 81 Although subject to the at
tacks for several years, her death
comes as shock to her family, as
recently she had been less troubled
and for the past month had been
stopping in town, coming down from
the Adams farm for the holidays.
Her maiden name was Catherine
Skillman and she was born at Somer
vile, Somerset county, N. j., May g.
l841, and would have been eighty
years of age next May. In 1858 she
was married to Josephus Adams at
that place, and in 1865 they came
west to La Crosse where they resi-
ded for many years. Mr.. Adams
death occurred there in 1881 In 1894
the mother and children came to
Eagle River and settled upon the
homestead taken by her son William,
where she spent her life to the end.
Eleven children were born to her of
which seven survive her, six sons
and one daughter who are: William,
Ernest, Frank and Charles of Eagle
River, John F. of Chippewa Falls,
Joseph of Onalaska, and Mrs. Carl
Jergensen Of Superior.
In her death her children lose one
to whom they were closely devoted,
and who had Notwithstanding years of
feeble health never ceased to do for
those whom she loved as only
mothers do. With her passing the
community loses another of the early
pioneers who have contributed to the
general welfare of friends and neigh
bors in many ways and for whom
there will be sincere regret that she
has passed into the Great Beyond.
Her children have the sympathy of
many friends in their loss that will
be most keenly felt in losing the as
sociations that have existed between
them and their mother for much more
than the usual period of time.
Funeral services will be held Sat
urday from the Congregational
church, with interment in the. vilss.gs
cemetery.
