Report Form on
Fishing License.

A tabulated report form is a part of
the 1898 Minnesota fishing license. On
it fishermen may keep a record during
the season of the number of each kind
of fish taken and at the end of the
year are asked to send the report to
the department. of conservation.
The report will enable the depart
ment 10 prepare statistics relating to
the number of fish taken in Mime
sofa during the year, according to
Harry E. SpeakeS, director. These
figures will assist in the state fish pro-
pagation program.
While the report feature has been a
part of small and big game licenses
for number of years, this is the first
time that reports are made a part of
the fishing licenses.

The provender had been cached
outside of a double hinged window

Besson was asleep at the time bruin
made his raid. After dispOsing of the
eatables the bear came through the
window and jumped from the ledge
to table in the cabin.
Mr.. Bear was too heavy for the
table and it collapsed with a loud
noise, awakening MIR. Besson who let
out an unearthly yell at the in

of another window and not the one

In leaving he broke out the glass

TEN LAKES STOCKED WITH
 TROUT ON BARAN0F, CHICHAG0T

Ten barren lakes on Baranof Is land and two lakes on Chichagof Island were stocked with 50 rain bow trout each last week by Ranger W. A. Chipperfield Of the |. s. For est Service, in a move to increase the sporting facilities of Southeast ern Alaska.
 The rainbows were caught at Lake Sashin, near Little Port Wal ter. by means of a seine and barb less hooks They were placed in a pot and transported in ten gallon milk cans.
 It is hoped that the rainbows will propagate freely and in a few years the lakes, because of their remote ness. may be hailed as the best fish ing grounds in the vicinity. The lakes near Juneau are fast being fished out, the Forest Service re- ports
 Those lakes which were stocked include Elfindahl and Goulding on Chichagof Island, and Rezanof, Da- yidof. Blue Lake, Deer Lake, Bor- odino and five others on Baranof.

MOOSE ON BRIDGE DELAYS
 ALASKA RAILROAD TRAIN

A moose, helpless when his feet slipped between the ties on a bridge at Mile 59, delayed the northbound passenger train on the Alaska Rail- road 20 minutes last week and re- suited in a unique episode that fur nished spectacular pictures for tour ists. Three moose were on the tracks when the train approached. They ran ahead of the train and one yen- tured out on the bridge.
 Engineer Charlie Mathison and Conductor Homer Amend, with two others, had to grab the animal bod fly and lift him out of his predica- ment. After the track was cleared, the train proceeded to Anchorage.
 Persons on the train said there were two large moose and one calf in the trio. It was feared that the legs of the fallen moose were in- jured, and the crew of a southbound passenger train, passing shortly af- ter the incident, proceeded slowly through that section and searched the countryside for him. They in- tended to kill the animal if he were injured. However, they said he had left the tracks and was apparently in good health.
