PRESIDENT TOF|ND
EXCELLENT FISHING
Trout Hatched by Thousands
on Pierce Estate at
Cedar island.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
CEDAR ISLAND LODGE Wis, June
eff President Coolidge should re-
mark on a particular day this Summer
that he would like to catch a brook
trout weighing about pounds. his
Ceuar Island host would have little
difficulty filling the tumb,ing Bruls
River that flows past the lodge with
just that weight fish.
They count their fish on the Pierce
estate by the thousands, and they are
privately raised. Estimates Of the num-
ber Of trout here range as high as
100000. E. NJ. Lambert, superintendent
OF the Pierce hatcheries. doesn't know
himself just how many there are.
Thousands I'm Pools.
There are thousands in the dozen
or so pools adjoining the private hatch
cry. There are other thousands back
in the several private lakes on the
estate, cared for and guarded by spe-
cially trained men, Others are being
Matched daily.
Separated according to weight and
size. they are a sight to open any
sportsman's eyes. They are fed with q
liver preparation and so carefully kept
that the workmen hesitate to keep one
out OF the water even long enough to
have its picture taken
The townsfolk assert that when 1t Is
known in advance that the fish are to
be used" they are kept on light rations
for a few days. so that they will be
more attracted TO the bait.
Trout Become wild"
It may be pointed out when the
presidential fishing season gets under
way that the trout placed in the back
lakes are left to their own devices and
become wild" Or the President may
leave the Pierce estate and do his fish,
ing on other parts of the Brule River
or neighhpring streams and lakes.
The Brule is rambling erratic little
river that twists and turns Its way
through northwestern Wisconsin, and
1t Is known as one Of the best trout
streams In the country.
1t rises in springs a few miles north
east of Lake st. CroiX and flows In a

high winds before rain would bring
about serious crop deterioration. I'm
der such circumstances, increased
speculative buying which started after
midday, disclosed lack of offerings

there had apparently been influenced
a good deal by lower quotations at
Liverpool and by advices which were
taken to indicate generally auspicious
weather for the domestic winter crop.
