strike. This one was on for q minute,
but broke the line and got away.
Stillwaggon put on larger hook and
leader and went after 1t again. It
was only a moment before another
large fish was on his hook, and this
time the line held. After nearly
half an hour of steady pumping on
his reel, by which time several threads
on the line had snapped, the fish was
brought up to the boat, and with the
assistance of the other members Of
the party hauled abroad.
1t turned out to be a golden
drum, a variety Of the red drum,
or channel bass, with the scales
tipped with gold leaf. When
weighed later it registered 43
pounds.
After being out only two hours,
they had caught five fish weighing over
10 pounds, besides enough small hard
head to keep every one eating fish
for several days.
Bass Fishing Improves.
THE Potomac finally has showed
some signs of clearing, and with
1t the small-mouths have begun to
strike. The weather will have to be
a bit cooler and the water somewhat
clearer before they really are biting
well, but several have been caught in
the last few days. Ebert Quileen,
using live frog, caught an 11-incher
at the foot Of Little Falls yesterday.
A Florida bass fisherman, or
one from the South Branch of
the Shenandoah would not con-
slider even counting such fish
In the days catch, but around
here any bass at all Is worth
telling the folks about.
Nothing much in the way Of sport
fishing can be expected from the
Potomac near Washington, though.
1t gets much better further up the
river. There are several excellent
holes above Great Falls, and the South
Branch in West Virginia is famous.

secret service agents late today from a safe

William H. Houghton, secret service

It was one of the largest seizures ever
made under the federal act forbidding pri-

Utmost secrecy surrounded the raid.
Houghton told reporters that if they de-
sired additional information they would
have to see Lamar Hardy, acting United

Construction of Ia new public
terminal elevators in port cities
of Argentina has been authorized
by the Argentina government, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Agricul-

has advertised for bids on the ell
evators which will be financed
from exchange profits.
Responsibility for construction
of the elevators with a total cap
acitv of 24,030,000 bushels of
wheat, has been delegated to a
special Elevator Commission. The
Commission is authorized also to
prepare specifications for the con-
struction of $50 new public coun-

storage facilities.
The new public elevator sys-
tenn is part of the recently enact

Work on the IA public elevators
is expected to get under way by
September 1896, but construction
of additional country elevators as

WILLISTON, N. D., Feb: It.
Work Of repairing and remodel
ing is going forward this month
on the large stock pavilion build

a hatchery, a poultry and egg pro-

factory.
The new cooperative, suggested
and sponsored by farmers in north
western North Dakota and north
eastern Montana through the Far

ton, is designed to serve some 3d.

EXPANSION
SOUGHT
The project was launched in or
der to make possible the expan-
sion of the poultry industry, which
in this area has been found the
most profitable on hundreds OF
farms. In order to make it pos
sible for every farmer to become
a member of the association and
benefit fully by the facilities Of
fered, the officers of the temper
arv organizations turned to the
resettlement administration for as
sistance. After a survey OF the
territory and study of the plan,
they were given assurance Of I'm
ancial backing, and plan has
been worked out by means OF
which individual farmers will be
able to get loans from this source
for the purchase of chicks, feed,
brooders and other material, and
also for the purchase Of stock In
the association, if necessary.
Harvey Solberg, who has been
active in the formation Of the new

only 22,104 families live on the

it reports that one-half of the

its rural rehabilitation program,
Resettlement planned to spend
$44,OOO,O0O thru Dec. 81, 1885 for
