By WILLIAM F. COLLINS
Times Special Writer

Some Of these bright and shining
days We are going to have some new
deal legislation IN the fishing laws.
We have a law now known as the
discretionary bill that will permit
the Department Of Conservation 10
pass the ruling All that is needed
for passage is the will of the ma
iority Of sportsmen within the area
affected and then you have it.
In the meantime, you bass lovers
had better be thinking about it and
If you have any pronounced views
IN the matter, my address is The
indianapolis Times.
Some one Il have forgottn who)
proposed TO me about four years ago
that what was needed IN the north
ern part Of the state was a per-
petual open season on game fish
He gave his reasons, but as I did
not have an open mind on the sub
ject they have been forgotten along
with the proponent.
At intervals since then others have
spoken about it and last month the
county club representative in Angola
told me his district wanted the
ruling for a 12-month fishing sea-
son and told why.
First Of all. the reasons are purely
commercial The association of re-
tail tradesmen in Steuben County
have made a survey of the trade
that comes into Steuben County
for u months period, trade that
would not come if it were not for
their lakes and their fish. It
amounts to 100000 a year, or count
ing the fishing months from May l
to Oct. /. 100000 a month.
It's a Lot of Money
In the closed season Steuben
County loses s24O, 900 in trade and
they believe if they had a 12-months
open season, the trade coming in,
while the rest Of the state was
closed, would be two CT three times
this amount. And that is a lot of
money.
To support their argument you
will find these interesting facts to
be true: Nowhere else in Indiana
are local fish hatcheries so highly
developed. There are more acres of
locally supported Matching ponds
around Angola than in all of the
state fish hatcheries cOmbinde.
The residents of Steuben County
make fish-rearing a business and
they produce millions of them for
releasing in Steuben lakes. They
contend that if they were permitted
to do the following things they
could increase their fish output,
make fishing in Steuben County
better and save themselves the
painful kink in their budget that is
now experienced when the closed
season clamps down:
First, they want to stake off per-
manent spawning beds in every
stream and lake in the county.
These will act as fish refugees
throughout the season and serve the
early and late spawners.

Two Men Get BOunties
For Running Over Wolves

Pine City-Two Minnesota men
were the very happy recipients Of
$15 each, in separate parts Of the
state last week, through very little
fault of their own. Each man had
the fortune to win race between
the car he was driving and a wolf,
to the tune of a state bounty Of
SIS for the hide. Near Pine CITY.
Billy Mista, clerk of the district
court, speeded up his car when he
thought he saw a jackrabbit or a
dog some distance ahead. The
wolf was going like the mill tails
of Gehenna", but Bills car was
going faster and soon overlook the
wolf, ran over it, and knocked it
for a goal. The county auditor
paid SIS bounty. Near Long
Prairie, within an hour or two Of
the Pine City incident, Anton Bue-
low. of Birthdale, ran over a
young wolf and killed it. Bue-
low did not know at first what
he struck, believing it to be a fox
rather than young wolf. Todd
county pays $3.50 in addition to
the state bounty of SIS, so Buelow
collected $3.50.

latlves for a short time. Then

wife will fly to the Keani Penn. to
join his brother on his return from
his fall hunt with their fall meat.
"Just a few words in regard to
our community gardens We've
had radishes, lettuce, peas, beets,
carrots, rutabagas. turnips, on
ions, cabbage, new potatoes and
cauliflower, and lots of them and
very fine quality.
Directly across the road from
our 40 is 15-acre field on Canad-
ian and Alaskan field peas. The
pea vines are about Az feet tall.
There are also about 10 acres of
oats about A feet tall.
"The wild raspberries grow as
large as tame ones. This is a won
derful berry country. The soil is
from two to five feet deep very
black and rich. Then comes glac-
ier gravel which provides won
derful drainage.
II hope that this letter may be
of interest to many who have de-
sired information about this pro-
ject. Morton Enterprise.

Mrs. Vernon Olmstedd Still Sees In
Mantanuskd, Land of Opbortnnity
PAGE TWO

Pioneering is tough but Mrs.
Vernon Olmstead, daughter Of Mr.,
and Mrs. Albert Hutchinson OF
Morton and one of the first to ar
rive in the Mantanuska valley,
Alaska, is determined to "stick it
out" Unwilling to give up her
great adventure, this pioneer
mother still believes Mantanuska
the land of opportunity.
For a while it seemed every
thing was at a standstill," she
wro.e in recent letter home.
"The different divisions, along
with the colonists, couldn't seem
to cooperate; naturally the con-
sequence would be-no progress.
However, things have been
Strengthened around somewhat and
have got started on what we all
hope is the right path"
Mrs. Olmstead continues with a
vivid description Of life at Matan-
uska. "In all, there are nine
camps, located in all parts Of the
valley. After the drawing we were
assigned to the camp nearest our
land. Later came the drawing of
the livestock.
"We do our buying at the COM
missary. Groceries are delivered
to us on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Each colonist family receives SIS
cash each month.
"The colonists were at first per-
mitted to work at the rate of SO
cents per hour. That has been dis
continued with a very few excep-
tions.
"Some of the colonists are to
have frame buildings, well insul-
ated. There were five different
house plans. We all had our choice
of the five.
"Our home, the first to be con-
structed-is 27.6x22.6. 1t is one
and-a-half story, has five rooms
parlor, kitchen, breakfast nook,
bedroom, clothes-closet, cache and
toilet on first floor; four closets,
two wardrobes and two bedrooms
upstairs.
Build Caches
'The majority OF people will
WOlueT WndC d cache Is. IL seems
most Alaskans have one, a room
for storage. In our cache is the
entrance to the basement, which
is not cement, as promised us it
would be. Nor is our house built
on a cement foundation.
"It is built Of six-inch square
timbers, chinked with oakum. The
roof is insulated with metallic in
sulation and has heavy slate roof
ing. The finished floor is Alaskan
hemlock. Windows are IL light.
Outside doors have four-light win
dows and night locks.
Each house is furnished with a
chemical toilet and porcelain
sink. The sinks are piped to
cesspool. There are built-in cup
boards on each side, extending the
entire width of the room and a
nine-light window directly above
the sink.
"Plywood is used in all rooms

nnishings.

august 8 orders went in tt
mail order houses for furniture
We had our choice. Each order
was limited to $2S5. This does moi
include radios, sewing machines
power washers, ranges or heaters
They expect the furniture to ar.
rive September 1.
Today our food budget went
into effect. A family Of two is al
lowed $45 per month; a family OF
five $85 and so on. The balance of
the budget that is not used for
food we receive in cash. There will
be a clothing budget also.
Rogers Visits Matanuska
"The Valley was visited by Will
Rogers and Wiley Post. Vernon
had an opportunity to converse
with Mr.. Rogers, but I just got a
glimpse of them as they passed.
"The school, which is to be built
this fall-providing the majority
vote in favor of a late session
rather that September 1, will cost
$4,000, excluding the gymnasium.
"There has been rumor of us
ing the new system of school
teaching each individual according
to his talent-this may be a false
report.
There are lots of wild berries
and wild bear, and some that are
not so wild too. A large black
bear was killed in one of the colon
lists front yard a few weeks ago.
Plenty more have been seen prowl-
ing around.
"Last month the salmon run
was on. The ladies in our camp,
assisted by the extension workers
from Fairbanks, canned several
hundred cans.
Shows in August
august the first snow of the
season fell on the mountains. We
had a slight hail here, and that
evening was extremely cool, with
slight frost in some parts of the
valley.
"Old settlers say we have six
weeks more of growing weather.
We haven't had any hot days.
Perhaps you already know we can
not grow tomatoes, cucumbers nor
corn here.
"Food prices are not so much
higher here. Eggs have been 35
cents and butter 40 cents all sum-
mer.
"We are in hopes of trip to the
Lucky Shot gold mine soon. Yer
non has been issued a Ford for
transportation to and from the
sawmills, which he is in charge of,
so possibly Sunday, will ride over
the greater part of Alaska's roads
here in the valley.

to hunt this year; however, next

Robbers Get Big Haul
At Sward-K emp Store


Springfeld-Between 35 and 40
cartons of cigarets and 1915 worth
Of watches and rings were taken
from the Sward-Kemp drug store
at Springfield Tuesday evening of
last week.
To avoid leaving fingerprints,
the burglars used small pieces Of
court plaster on their fingertips.
A small box Of them was found on
the floor, having no doubt been
dropped BY the burglars rs they
were not carried in stock in the
store. Since the burglary at the
store Of three years ago when
much valuable merchandise was
taken, more expensive rings and
watches have been kept under lock
nights. This practice saved the
firm from . much heavier loss.
