The German trout has proven I'M
suited to the higher regions and pre-
fers the warmer streams In h
ranching country.
Next to the native or black spot
ted trout, the eastern brook has
proven most satisfactory for plant
ing in the lakes and streams. 1t
rarely p~ropogates itself in the noun
tain lakes but restocks naturally
most Of the streams of the Forest.
Experience has also proven that
despite the thouands of trout fry.
planted annually, it is a difficult
matter to keep the streams and
lakes fully stocked. This is due to
several causes. In the first place,
the season opens altogether too
early in the spring when rainbow
and steelhead T. spawning and
last so late in the fall that millions
of eggs r destroyed when the east
ern brook, German Brown and Loeb
Leven are caught at that time. A
large loss also results from small
fish caught and returned as injured
fish to the water. OF interest in
this connection is the fact that GER
tain sportsmen's associations r re-
quiring their members to use barb
less hooks. Fish are, Of course,
more difficult to catch but the
smaller ones can be allowed to drop
from the hook without being touch
ed by hand.
In order to keep the lakes of the
Snowy Range region fully stocked.
n method can be used which is alb
solutely sure. The use of retaining
ponds has proved successful every
where. Under present conditions, If
young trout fry are placed in the
shallow waters of the inlet, outlet
or along the shore of a lake, a large
percent r eaten during the course
of the season by the larger fish al
ready in the lakes. Because of more
favorable spawning conditions in the
streams and more places for young
trout to hide, the need for retaining
ponds in the streams is not so urg-
ent as adjacent to the lakes. 1t is

trout and await the skill Of the
angler.
The Medicine Bow National forest
Is nov and will continue to be n
of the finest fishing regions of the
Rocky Mountain region. 1t Is for
tunately situated in reference to ex-
listing fish hatcheries. the federal
hatchery at Saratoga being located
on the west side of the forest and
the state hatchery at Laramie or the
east side. while 1t Is true that
the construction OF automobile roads
as planned through the Forest will
affect the fishing on certain lakes
and streams, it will also result in
making 1t possible to take trout fry
directly to the streams and lakes
from the hatcheries rather than de-
pending on pack horses as at pres
ent. 1t is true, however, that many
lakes and many miles of streams on
the forest will never be made ac-
cessible to automobiles because of
the desire to keep large portions Of
the forest in its natural condition,
except for the construction of foot
and horse trails.
Experience of IA years in planting
trout in the Medicine Bow Forest
has shown that of the several species
planted in the lakes of the snowy
range region, the native or black
spotted trout seems most suitable as
it restocks the lakes naturally.
The rainbow trout is not suited TO
the cold waters Of the high noun
tain lakes although a few do well at
Sand lake. 1t Is known, however,
that the loss from those planted is
very high, either due to migration
down the streams or because of
death in the lakes.
The steelhead trout, however. a
close relative of the rainbow, has
done very well although it rarely ap-
pears to grow to a larger size than
three pounds. 1t Is the gamest fish
found but unfortunately, spawn is
difficult to secure. The same
comment applies to the Loeb Leven
trout, another very desirable species.

Ford Cars Given
Distinctive Names

There's been a double christening
in the Ford car family.
When the newest member, a
smart sedan with two doors, arrived
on the scene, announcement Of
which is Just made, there came with
it the question Of a name.
For several days the folks Just
couldn't decide what to call the
baby of the family until. from quite
an unexpected source, there came
the happy suggestion:
Lets call it Tudor"
And Tudor it was christened. a
name quite in keeping with the aris-
tocratic appearance of the new car.
How about remaining the other
sedan?" some n asked and then
came this reply:
I'VE might call it the four-door
Ford or---A.t that's it! Ford = or
ForGor. Simple and expressive,
isn't it?"
So we have two Ford cars with
brand new names, the Tudor and the
Fordor.

523,4OO Trout Fry
Planted in Reserve

Records recently completed at the
office of the oFrest Supervisor of
the Medicine Bow National Forest
at Laramie, show that a total of
$4,000 trout fry were planted in
the streams and lakes of the Forest
during the past season, or about
three trout to each resident of this
state. This work was completed by
five district rangers located on diff
ferent parts of the Forest, who had
the direct assistance of the super
intendents of the state fish hatchery
at Laramie and the federal hatchery
at Saratoga, and several individuals
horses.
All fish used were furnished by
these two ~hatcheries and consisted
of $4,000 eastern brook, 369, 500
native or black spotted and 5000
rainbow trout. Eastern brook trout
were planted in the North Fork Of
the Little Laramie Rock Creek,
Glacier Lake Lake Marie, Spring
Creek, south Fork OF the Little Lar
annie; Keystone, Douglas, Little
Beaver. DEVILS Gate, Cottonwood.
Lake. Fox and Bear Creeks and in

native or black spotted trout which
appears to do the best of any trout
on the higher portions of the Forest

Ideal Section Proves
Great Object Lesson

The Lincoln Highway as a whole
was conceived and has been promot-
&C for ten years by the Lincoln
Highway Associatin as an object
lesson to the Nation: An object
lesson in the desirability and i'm
portance of interstate highways, OF
national roads which serve the
Union as a whole.
That its object lesson purpose has
been well served is best indicated
by the now rapidly developing sys-
ten of some 200, 900 miles of Ma
tional Highways, Interstate roads,
developing rapidly with the stimulus
of Federal aid under the Federal
Highway Act passed in 1916 and its
subsequent amendments.
ust as the Lincoln Highway from
Manhattan TO the Golden Gate was
intended to serve as a nationwide
object lesson in stimulating the de-
velopment of interstate transporta.
ton facilities, SO was the Ideal sec
ton constructed by the Lincoln
Highway Association in Lake Coun-
ty, Ind. near Chicago, intended to
serve as an object lesson in the de-
sign and Specifications of modern
roads.
The purpse actuating the United
States Rubber Company In making
its large contribution to the Lincoln
Highway Association for the con-
struction of this model section of
highway and the purpose of those
nationally knwn highway authorities
upon the design for the Section, was
to endeavor to crystalline the best
modern thought available as to
highway construction on the main
routes OF travel and, by building a
section of such model road. stimu-
late construction of like adequacy
and permanancy everywhere In the
Union where such construction
would be economical.
That the Ideal Section has al
ready, before its final completion
and dedication, had its eject upon
public opinion, is best indicated by
the immediate development con-
templa'ed near its location.
Town to Extend Section
The western n of the Ideal Sec
ton is about a mile from the little
town Of Dyer. Ind, which is located
on the Illinois state line some 35
miles south of Chicago. At the time
the Ideal Section was paved the
State of Indiana constructed an Is
foot concrete road connecting the
western end of the Ideal Section
with the concrete Lincoln Highway
in Illinois. at the state line, thru |
the town Of Dyer. Now the Town
Board of Dyer is advertising for
who collaborated in determining
bids on two additional strips of con-
crete paving. each eleven feet wide.
to be laid between the Illinois state
line and the west end of the Ideal
Section itself.
An "Idcal" Gateway to Chicago
The Indiana State Highway Com
mission has Just reached an agree
ment with Lake County. Ind. for the
construction of a paved highway to
run from the Ideal Section near
Dyer north to 106th St. Chicago at
the 1ndiana-Illinois state line. II
Is planned to make this road at
least sixty feet wide-it may even
be wider when the final plans have
been prepared. That this width will
provide the main inlet into Chicago
for all traffic coming from the east
on the Lincoln Highway and the
Dunes Highway and from Indian
apolis on the south. The new road
will be sixteen miles in length and

Agents of the revolutionary faction here received important cablegrams from Vera Cruz saying that Estrada had taken Yurecuado on the Guadala- jara-Mexico City railway. It indicat- ed, they said, that he had circled the federal forces and repair crew at work on the wrecked bridge at Sala- mea station and is between the loyal forces in that section and the national capitol.
 Railroad men who have returned to Mexico City from Janlisco declare that it will be 30 days before the railroad into Guadalajara is repaired if the revolutionists are defeated soon. Long sections have been torn up. The roadbed has been destroyed in some instances.
 Danger of food shortage in the national capital was eliminated when more than 1000 tons of supplies were moved to Mexico City from northern frontier ports and Tampico during the last few days, travellers said.

 Surgeon Gen. F. F. Stitt, in his an- nusl report made public today, de- clares that, despite an intensive cam paign during the year, including the sending Of 12,0oo personal letters to young doctors fl was not possible to keep the medical corps up to its au- thorized strength.
 Tt is apparent" Dr. Stitt said, ''that the Inducements offered by the Navy are not sufficient to attract the young physician, It seems therefore that some legislative action will be necessary in the near future if the medical corps Of the Navy is to be re- cruited lip to the strength for which appropriation was made by congress, or even if the vacancies occasioned by resignation, retirement and death are to be filled"
 Health conditions generally in the Navy during the fiscal year were better than average" the report said.
 The death rate Of 323 per 1000 was "the lowest the Navy ever had" and admissions to the sick list were also unusually low.
 During the year care of the Navy and Marine Corps dead in France was transferred to the nprfnanpnt carp of the Army with PIT marine dead and 23 navy men carried as unidentified or unlocated.

FOUR DEAD AND ONE
 DYING IN KENTUCKY
Perry County Christmas Gun
 Fight Takes Big Toll

Hazard. Ky, Dec. 26.-Perry coun- tvs toll from Christmas shootings stood today at four dead, one in a dying condition from bullet wounds and sixth man in a serious condition in a hospital here. Those killed were William Smith, deputy sheriff; a man named Hays; J. D. Matthews, a barber. believed to have come here from Evansville, or Loogootee, Indi- ana- and John Richmond, a negro. Jerry Dunn is thought to be fatally wounded and the condition of Dennis Phillips is reported to be serious.
 Deputy Smith was killed Christmas even in a pistol fight at the home of Phillips near Glomwar, where the of ficer had gone to quell a disturbance. Phillips, wounded by Smith, escaped, but later surrendered. Meantime re- ports of Smiths death reached here and deputies John Smith, Davidson and James Witt started to Phillips home.
 As the trio of deputies passed through Karles, firecracker was said to have been exploded at their feet. Believing they had been fired upon the offers were said to have directed a volley into a store operated by Dunn. A bullet passed through the storekeeper's body and struck Mat thews, killing the latter. When firing ceased a survey of the building dis closed the body of Hays.
 Richmond, the fourth man slain, was killed Christmas Day. James Workmas was reported to have killed him with shotgun when the victim attempted to enter Workmans' home after the latter had told him to stay away.
