SELLING TRANSFORMATION.

Public transportation men are better
statesmen than they used to be, says Paul
Ehoup, president of the Southern Pacific
Co., in an article in Nations Business.
Competition from independent passen-
ger and freight lines has made steam
and electric carriers improve their stand
ard line of goods carried for so many
years. But they have not stopped there
They have added new lines as rapidly
as they have proved practical. Their
sample cases now contain assorted bus,
truck and other automotive service.
You have only to compare the present
Pullman car with one Of 10 years ago TO
realize that new. methods are in vogue.
On the theory that low rates, COM
bined with reStful ride, would attract
motor car owners, We have inaugurated
regular daily one-way coach rates be-
tween large terminals of cents mile.
The automobile industry being an
established fact, railway men must make
the most of it. They must use the bus
and truck themselves wherever 1t Is
wise. and economical, and they must
work with the private motor car owner
to attract as much OF his business as
possible. In many ways we think thu
motor car has been decided help e
us. Undoubtedly rail lines will remain
the blackstone of our local transit, but
they cannot do 1t in metropolitan
eenters.

NEW CHESAPEAKE BEACH
FERRY SEEMS ASSURED

BY its rejection of petition filed by
the Claiborne Ferry, asking
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion reopen hearings on the project of
the Chesapeake Beach Railway Co. to
construct ferry between Chesapeake
Beach and the Eastern Shore, the COM
mission has apparently cleared the way
for initiation of the work.
The Claiborne Annapolis Ferry Co.
was the only opponent of the project,
which had the Endorsement of many
business men and trade organizations of
Washingtn, Baltimore and the Eastern
Shore. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission granted the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Co.'S petition, but recently the
ferry company asked a reopening of the
proceedings for oral argument and for
modification OF the commissions report.

Minnesota Auto Tax Was
the Third Lowest In 1929
May Be Second from Bottom in
1930-State Average License
Cost SASS

Minnesota automobile owners in
1929 paid less taxes per car than
car owners in any other state ex-
cept New York and North Dakota,
according to figures furnished The
Herald by c. M. Babcock, commits
sioner of highways. Minnesota
would have been lower than New
York also, if the gas tax had been
in force the full year in the En-
pire state.
The average tax in Minnesota in
1929 was $27.02 nearly a third low
er than the average per car for
all states, $39.47. Omitting the
personal property tax which is i'm
posed on motor vehicles in thirty
four states, Minnesota is still below
the average state, as gas and Ii
cense taxes for all states averaged
$29.51.
In license alone, Minnesota with
a SASS average was lightly above
the U. S. average of $13.1S. TWEEN
ty-one states had higher license
fee and twenty six were lower. Cal
ifornia had the lowest average,
$5.31, and Oregon the highest, $685.

If Mr.. Surber believes the muskel-
lunge one and the same with the
pike why does he not endeavor to
mate the two? I'll guarantee him
that if he can do this with ease and
obtain results he will be presented
a medal as large as a pie-tin!
Why is it that it is so easy to pro.
pagate the great northern pike and
so difficult to propagate and OBJ
tain any results from artifically
stripping and fertilizing the eggs of
the muskies? Mr.. Surber knows
how difficult it is. We all do who
have studied the proposition. We
know it is the hardest thing in the
world to obtain results from propa-
eating the musky.
Mr.. Surber is under the impress
sion that certain chemical influ-
ences in water, vegetation, food,
or what have you, is the cause of
the muskellunge being different
than the great northern pike. In
fact he at one time was so set on
this idea that he held that young
pike turned into a musky lake
would blossom out as muskies and
not pike in coloration. (Since writ
ing this find that both Belle Tain
and Boulder lake, also Mantrap
have been stocked with great north
ern pike, in fact are more or less
numerous now in Belle Tain which
originally had no pike in them.
These, howver, have not turned to
muskies so far as your one good
eye would tell you'll
In closing I may state that Mr..
Surber originally got himself into
deep water and rather than admit
the folly of his statements he has
decided on his ridiculous lineup of
half facts and let it go at that. We
know that there is a real mystery
with regard to the muskellunge and
when the matter is sounded out it
will no doubt be found that the fish
never was native to the state, in
fact was undoubtedly brought here
from the east CNew York; and
planted in the Mississippi River,
probably in Lake Pepin. From there
it was carried from one lake to
another and probably was put in
the Mississippi above st. Anthony
Falls with the result that it as
cended the river and got into all
those lakes that connect with the
Father of Waters. The old Indian
saying is that you will not find the
muskellunge in any waters save
those connecting up with the Mis-
sissippi and thus up to the river;
and I would be willing to accept
that argument as the most reason
able and certainly one that is
sound.

egg or the recently Matched spawn.
The young of these fishes in most
cases, but not in every case, are
plainly marked with vertical bars
on a light background, and these
bars seldom break up, in the case
of form before the latter part of
August or the early part of Sep
TENDER when the fishes have at
tanned a length of six to twelve
inches. Up to that season it would
therefore, be impossible to distin-
guish apart the young Matched
from the eggs taken from the So
called muskellunge and those taken
from the ordinary pickerel or jack
fish. MY observations have i'm
pressed me with the fact that after
this period in certain waters these
bars break up into spots and we
have the ;pickerel; in other waters
where certain peculiar physiological
conditions exist, these bars are re-
tanned and we have the muskel-
lounge, except in the waters of
Lake Pepin and certain lakes
wherein we find the so-called I'M
spotted muskellunge."
Let us now examine the above
statement. Here we have the as
sertion that muskies, pike, etc., up
to a length of six to twelve inches
cannot be told one from the other;
that they have dark, vertical bars
on their bodies against a light ack-
ground. After the month o. Aug
ust or September, according to Sur
Der, these bars begin to break up.
Then what happens? Simply this.
Light-streaks cut across the bars
thus leaving blotched effect, the
blotches being dark against 3, a
lighter background! This perfectly
identifies the muskellunge and sets
it definitely aside as different from
any toher fish. Bud does Mr.. Sur
Der mention what happens to the
young of the great northern pike?
He leaves you under the impress
sion that in their scheme of color
the bars also break up. leaving
blotches or spots as on the sides Of
the muskellunge. May ask Mr..
Surber just when in the breaking
up" process those oval, lemon-col-
ored or lwhitish-yellow spots that
distinguish the great northern pike
from any other fish, and surely
from the muskellunge, come into
being? Or is Mr.. Surber going to
tell us next that in the muskellunge
the bars break up leaving dark
blotches while in the pike they
break up leaving yellow spots in
rows up and down the side? You
would expect child to make such
statements as these but surely not
an educated fish culturist.

Muskellu1ge Is Not
Northern Pike, Says
Robert Page Lincoln

Readers of this publication are
probably familiar with the various
statements made by Mr.. Thaddeus
Surber, Superintendent Of Fish
Propagation for the State of Mime
sofa, which have for their basis the
assertion that our familiar fish. the
great northern pike is none other
than the muskellunge, or vice YER
sa; that the muskellunge is just a
great northern pike, that and moth
ing more.
Years ago when Mr.. Surber made
his original statement with regard
to this matter he challenged any
one to produce for him a muskel-
lunge under a foot in length; for,
possessing a fish of the species a
foot or under, it would, according
to Mr.. Surber, be a matter of ease
to clear up the problem of wheth-
er the two were identical, i. e., that
the great northern pike and the
muskellunge were one and the
same. Now I believe that special
efforts were made in the Park Rap
ids region to obtain these small
muskies and I understand that
some were forthcoming and were
examined by Mr.. Surber I also
believe that baby muskies were
sent from other sections. In any
event Mr.. Surber has not recently
made statement along the above
lines, so it is probable that he
has dropped that section of his ar
gument as being of no possible or
comprehensive value.
I have just returned from the
Lake of the Woods region and know
of lakes and waters where muskies
from three inches to a foot TEEN
and stopping off in Rainy. River I
was told by Mr.. Ernie Calvert, who
conducts the Calvert Camps on
Lake of the Woods that if Mr.. Sur
Der would care to have a splendid
selection of baby muskies it would
be possible to obtain them, ranging
three inches and UP; and that if it
were possible to raise them in any
other waters it would be found that
these would grow up to be not
great northern pike but muskel-
lunge.
In explaining the above statement
let me make mention of the fact
that Mr.. Surber also made a
strange remark at one time which
meant to say that if you placed the
young of great northern pike in
a true musky water, 10 and be-
hold! these young pike would grow
up to be not great northern pike
but honest-to-goodness muskies. Mr..
Surber's belief apparently was that
some certain influences not desig-
mated and but vaguely outlined as
applicable to some waters, had the
ability to change the spots and
markings on great northern pike
and make it into a full fedged
muskellunge.
This statement ! also believe Mr..
Surber has dropped. It was a rath-
er hasty remark to make and would
show Mr.. Surber's near-sightedness
