SOME FISH!

From time to time writer's in
eastern papers like to cast re-
Elections on Minnesota and north
western states about being wilder
nesses and places where thermom-
eters catch pneumonia in the win
ter time and it does the hearts of
red-blooded citizens living here
good to get back at them when
ever the opportunity arises.
The subject of this feature item
has nothing to do with wilder
nesses, billiards., or any other
things of that nature which thrust
fear at those writer's hearts but
it does have something to do with
that which they would give an eye
to be able to indulge in for just
one short period.
Well, so the story goes, Tom
Rodenberger of near Bruno, made
trip to Oak lake a few days ago
to try his hand at the art of spear
ing pickerel Within a very short
space of time Mr.. Rodenberger
who, by the way, is no novice at
this sport, had landed five of
such fellows that are only found
in story books and Minnesota
lakes. To make a long story
short, the five pickerel weighed
a total of 1874 pounds which when
divided up individually and nam
ed in the order they were caught,
weighed 1885,; 1412, IA, IS, and
1912 pounds.
In reporting the incident, Mr.
ROdenberger described the thrill
that is to be had in spearing
through the ice.

PINE CITY LOSES
THRILLING GAME
Pat kuss, Pine City, and Carl Bloom,
Chi-High. Star as Mates Play
Basketball.

BY staging wonderful come back
in the fourth quarter and putting on
a whirlwind finish, Chi-High of
Lindstrom-Center City defeated Pine
City in basketball at the armory Fri
day evening with the close score IA
to Is. 1t has been long time since
basketball fans of Pine City have wit
messed such a spirited contest between
the schools, nor seen such spectacular
work as that put on by the giant CEN
ter, Pat Kuss Of Pine City and the
midget forward Carl Bloom of Chi
High.
The game opened with both teams
playing close guarding game, so
close in fact, that neither of Pine
City's forwards or the center was
able to make a basket in the first
half Roy Carlson, playing at right
guard, slipped into the enemies ter
ritory in the first quarter for a lucky
shot and Donald McKusick added one
point from a free throw. Meanwhile,
Bloom, of the Chi-High team, dropped
in two baskets and added another
from free throw when fouled by
Kuss, and Larson center also made
one free throw, leaving the score at
the half period at to in favor of
Chi-High.
The second half opened with Chi
High appearing to have the advantage
After Kuss for Pine City had added
two points from two free throws in
succession, the lads from Lindstrom
staged a rally and added three bas-
kets, bringing the score up to the ap-
parently safe figure of II to 5. At
this point in the game there was some
shifting in the Pine City lineup and
they began dropping in baskets, with
Donald McKusick making one, Roberts
two, and Kuss one until they had
forged ahead with a score of 13 to II
in their favor. Thus il stood with
Pine City holding the ball and at
tempting to pass it around among
themselves so that Chi-High might
not get another chance to shoot.
However, there was Carl Bloom yet
to reckon with. and when Pine City
slipped, so that this modest lad got
his hands on the ball, with only twen-
ty seconds left to play. he went
through and shot beautiful long
basket for the winning points. The
final score was Chi-High IA, Pine
City 10.
A good following of rooters accom-
panied their team from Lindstrom and
Center City, among them being Judge
Alfred P. Stolberg and Register of
Deeds David Bloom, father of Carl
Bloom who performed so well for his
school.

Gov. Parks Receives Sev- eral Protests Based on
 Whites Article

A dozen protests, based on Stew art Edward Whites An Emergency Is Declared tos Exist" appearing in the Saturday Evening Post, of April 12, were received at the office of Gov. George A. Parks on mails reaching here from Seattle over the weekend. All of them, accepting MT. Whites charges as true, urged the Governor to take steps to pre- vent extinction of the Alaska brown bear anG to cease destroying game trout.
 Communications were received from California, Michigan, Mary land, Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey, California being represented by several writers. Only one of the writers, however, gave any indica- tion that he ever intended to visit Alaska.
 All protests are to be turned over to the Alaska Game Commission to answer since the game animals of Alaska are in it's jurisdiction. The United States Biological Survey has already issued a bulletin from it's Washington offices pointing out the mistatement made by MT. White in regard to brown bear regulations. This bulletin has been mailed to newspapers throughout the country

Picking the major league pen nant winners is an annual spring habit that possesses a strange, ir- resistible fascination for the ex- perts. It is like a game of tag, played blindfold, with the outcome in doubt for six months. A good many of the experts are just as well satisfied if no one remembers in October what they predicted in April but that does not curb the rush of predictions now coming to hand from way stations along the Southern exhibition routes.
 Perhaps the most striking mani festation in the returns that have come to hand in the annual Asso- ciated Press poll is the wide range of opinion in placing such National League clubs as the Giants, Car dinals, Phillies, Cincinnati and Brooklyn. The Cardinals, for ex- ample, are rated all the way from pennant winners to occupants of seventh place. r Brooklyn ranges from second to eighth place in the forecasts and so do the furious Phillies.
 The explanation of this extra ordinary divergence seems to be that the National league clubs this year are better balanced than in years, almost all of them with suf- ficient strength and prospects to bob up as at least first-division candidates, if not actual pennant contenders. Consequently the ex- perts are going out on a limb so far as their favorites are con- cerned, in the hope that they will assume prophetic stature if their guesses prove correct; otherwise that they will be forgotten.
 Followers of the New York Giants, it seems, will be put to a severe test. The call has gone out to the Loyal Giants Rooters" for a testimonial tribute to John Me Graw's baseball men at S10 per plate.

farms. the agriculture department
estimated 1t cost farmers an aver
age of s1.24 to produce a bushel Of
wheat in 1929. This years costs are
believed virtually the same except
possibly for a slight reduction IN
labor cost.
Wheat sold in Chicago this week
at 80 cents for July delivery. but
the average grain belt farmer re-
ceives 20 cents less than this figure
after freight rates are deducted. On
the farm, therefore, wheat now is
worth about So cents. or only slight
ly more than one-half it's production
cost.
With the foreign demand slack
and the 1880 crop estimated by the
department at one million bushels
more than a year ago, the drive for
new action by the administration
to help the wheat grower continued
today. However, there were no in
dications Of success, at least until
