He was informed that while all
anglers were acquainted and more
or less familiar with that particular
evil. the object of the closed season
was not aimed at the big mouth bass
in the lower Potomac. but for the
small-mouth bass in the upper Poto-
mac. where the real bass angler loves
to whip the water for his favorite
fish.
Commercial Fishing Harmful.
OF course, every angler wants pro
lection for both the small and large
mouth bass, and commercial fishing is
destroying at an alarming rate both
of these game fish, but, this closed
season was started to look after the
| small-mouth bass and 1T is to that
effort all energy and endeavor should
be directed.
O'Malley said that in a recent con-
versation with w. II. Dig. president
of the Isaak Walton League of Amer
lea, about the closed season for small
mouth bass in the Potomac, Dig
called his attention to the commercial
side of bass fishing in the Potomac
and said that he considered it most
important to have this stopped first.
This column will not argue that point
other than to say that the Potomac
below Washington is a wide body of
water and above Washington is COM
paratively small but long.
There now is pending in Congress
bill to prevent the Interstate ship
ment of bass, which, If passed, will
put a severe crimp in commercial
fishing of this fish. On the other
hand, from personal observation and
hearsay, the commercial fishermen on
the upper Potomac are not making a
very lucrative living from the catch
of small mouth bass, because the
bass are not there to be taken.
The object Of the movement is to
have a closed season for the protec-
tfoR of the bass that have been prom
ised by the Bureau CT Fisheries, but if
protection is not afforded there will
be no. fish placed in the upper
Potomac. because the bureau does not
intend to do all the work necessary
to restocking the stream to have them
killed or captured before maturity.
The three-year closed season will al
low plenty of time for these small
fish to reach table size, as after the
first year they gain a pound a year
Representative Fred N. Zihlman of
MARYLAND. who represents the Dis
trict through which the Potomac
flows, says that while he heartily in
dorses the movement, he does not see
how any act of Congress could be
passed closing the Potomac for the
necessary time. as the matter is with
in the jurisdiction Of the States and
the Federal Government could not
legislate on a matter of that kind
He told this column, however, that if
he could be Of any service in this

Paragraph 40, page so. of the con-

! The words hook and line shall not
include trot line or out lines. Sec
| ton 40 is compact between Mary
| land. Virginia and West Virginia.
Maryland jurisdiction extends to op-
posite shore on Potomac River
The same law applies to the tribu-
taries of the Potomac
Section 40 would seem to prohibit
the use of any kind of seine or net,
gig or gig iron, fish baskets or fish
pots, eel weirs. brush or fascine nets,
trot line or lines, but every fisher
man who frequents the upper Poto-

Must Prod Game Wardens.
If the laws already passed are suf-
ficient for the protection of fish, then
why are they not enforced. This is a
question that each of the three States
viii have to answer.
Let us consider the game wardens:
They are appointed for two years
and any Of them may be removed by
the conservation commission at any
time upon proof satisfactory to it
that he Is not vigorously enforcing

or is not a fit person for said posi-
tion.
The Maryland law says that a game
warden has the right to search with
or without a search warrant, and if
he has reason to believe that any
person or corporation has in his or
It's possession contrary to law any
bird, game or fish 1t shall be his duty
as game warden to take such person
before any justice of the peace in
the county or city in which the Of
fense was committed.
With the laws above stated and the
authority of the game wardens to en-
force them, there would seem to be a
laxity somewhere along the line.
1t is hoped that at the coming con-
ference all these things will be ironed
out and that some concrete plan
found to have a closed season for
bass or have the laws enforced.

WELL. KNOWN RESIDENT
LAID AWAY MONDAY

Benjamin Ezra Bubar, well known
in this city where he has resided
for many years, died at Two Har-
bors hospital Friday after an illness
of several years duration, having
spent the time divided among sew
eral hospitals in this and other
cities.
The remains arrived here Sunday
and the funeral took place Monday
afternoon from the Presbyterian
church, Rev. H. Russell Browne Of
iciating. A large. concourse of
friends and neighbors attended the
last sad rites and followed the re-
mains of their friend and neighbor
to their last resting place in the Ely
cemetery. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful.
Mr.. Bubar was born in Canada
in 1874 and at the time of his
death was 81 years of age. For
several years he resided in Duluth
but for twenty or more years has
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Samuel Rapson, in this city.
The past several years he conducted
a small roadside store on Highway
35 at Robinson until illness made
this impossible. He was a man
whom it was a pleasure to meet
and his fund of "reminiscences was
large. He had many friends who
join in extending sympathy to the
Borrowing relatives.

This territory was voted into the

contesting the annexation of the
disputed territory asked for time 70

MUNICIPAL CARS NOT
EXEMPT FROM GAS TAX.

Eminent legal authorities have de-
cided that according to the statutes,
municipalities are not exempt from
the gas tax, demanded by the state
laws. The latest to come to this
conclusion is City Attorney O'Neill
of st. Paul who holds that the city
owes the state something like
$4,000 in gas taxes and also that the
cities can do nothing about it until
the next session of the legislature
when an effort will be made to modi-
fly the law in favor of the munich
palities. Though the constitution of
the state exempts from taxation
property of municipality, the gas
tax is not regarded as a property,
but rather as a service tax.

A DISAPPEARING LAKE.


Bass Lake, near Ely, not the
English town of that name. in
the Fen district, but its name
sake in the American State of
Minnesota, has of late been get
ting smaller and smaller in
most mysterious fashion. And
the clever people who have been
sent down to try and find out
why, can only say it will most
likely soon have to be wiped off
the map. The trouble started
few weeks ago, and the lake is
now only about a third of its or
iginal size. Thousands Of fish,
too, are lying dead in the slime
of its receding shores. Up till
now, too, no one has been able
to find out where the water goes
to. 1t is thought, however, that
some underground channel has
somehow or other been un-
stopped, and the water flows off
into lake lying at a lower
level.
