there is to the game Therefore, armed with
the seine and horse power to drag the ends
together, a market for the seine's contents
and transportation thereto, and the trick is
turned. An intricate proceeding, to be sure!
In the meantime, in order to protect the
states interests, it becomes necessary to have
a bond provided-not against the escape OF
small fry but against any evaporation of the
states percentage. Is this where the "pre-
vious experience" clause comes in? The
necessity for it?
The fact of the matter is that the CONNER
cial SEEMING of fish in this and every other
state where similar fish and game laws are
in existence, is joke-a raw one to sure,
but still to be classified as grin-maker.
F.. Nets are placed in the lake for which the
permit has been secured but keep Out" and
Don't be Bullhead" signs are not distribut-
ed properly through the water, with the re-
suit that game fish and scay infants of il
legal diameter, circumference and length of
life, are caught by the gills and hang there
until they are dead, dead, dead' which
event takes place long hours before the COM
mercial gentry find it convenient to drag in
the cargo.
To be sure it is contrary to law to kill these
game fish and small fry but that doesn't alter
the fact that they are dead-thousands of
them running into thousands of pounds; and
not even the law can snap the spark of life
back into dead fish!
What disposition is made of these game
fish? Are they used for fertilizer by the
owners of adjacent farms or are they donat-
ed to hospitals to be served on fete days?
Or (perish the thought) are they sold on the
market to such of our taxpayers as can
stomach the mess and dig up the price?
The sening of fish in Minnesota lakes
should be stopped, else the law should be
altered to permit every citizen who cares to
hog fish, rather than chance hooking one, to
do so.
Wherever the commercial fishing permits
have ben issued, in this or any other state,
the odor of graft has permeated the COM
monwealth. In every lake where commercial

But Fred and his men saw nothing just now
but the river. The boat shot into the rapids,
catching the waves at just the right angle, then
swerved slightly. You could see Fred's lips twist
in a shout, but the roar of the water tossed the
sounds away in fragments. The four oarsmer

The best of the cant-hook men stayed on this

twenty, their work alternating between the two
most efficient ways to break a jam. One is vio-
