STATE COMMISSIONERS
VISIT RESORT
Look Over Roaring River with View
To Establishing Fish Hatchery
And Game Preserve.

On Sunday several members of the
Missouri Game and Fish Department
OF the state inspected the Roaring
River resort to determine its quail
fications for a fish hatchery and fish
and game preserve. r. A. Bruner, the
owner, will sell the 5000 acres which
he owns in that vicinity if the state
wishes TO secure it for such purpose.
In the party were Frank Middleton,
head of the department; +. +. Gre
ther of st. Louis, chief deputy COM
missioner; Floyd c. Galloway, Monett
and Keith McCanse, of Mt. Vernon,
deputy commissioners; j. f. Snow,
federal fish inspector, and Fred +.
Foster, superintendent of the Federal
Fish Hatchery, of Neosho. The com
missioners did not express any opin-
ion as to the possibilities Of convert
ing the tract into game preserve.
The Roaring River tract of land in
Barry county, is ideal for a fish
hatchery Rainbow trout have done
better in the pure cold water of Roar
ing River spring than anywhere else
in the state. 1t is also ideal for the
propagation Of bass, crappie and
other game fish.
For game preserve nothing couIH
be better. The land is secluded and
wild turkeys and game are already
there. 1t would be an easy matter to
stock the tract with game birds and
animals.
r. f. Bruner, the owner, has spent
considerable money in purchase of the
land and improvements. The place
was one of the most popular summer
resorts in this section the past two
seasons. Mr.. Bruner has extensive
plans worked out for further improve
ments of the resort, but should the
state decide to establish a fish and
game preserve in this section, he
would sell it for this purpose.
