FISH PLANTING
NOW UNDER Way
z Million Pike to be Given
New Homes During Week,
Hendee Reports.

THE planting of fish in the lakes
and streams Of the Superior National
Forest in cooperation with the U. S.
bureau of fisheries and Minnesota Con-
servation department is now under
way declared Supervisor Clare Hendee,
Duluth
To date this year, 100000 brook trout
have been planted in feeder streams
and suitable cold water lakes, and
1854 900 lake trout have been planted in
interior lakes already stocked with this
species. During this week, it is planned
to plant 100000 brook trout, 10000 brown
trout, and approximately 100000 wall
eyed pike. The forest service is also
cooperating with the state conservation
department at the Tower hatchery in
the transportation Of the pike to lakes
where they were to be planted.
The Cascade rearing ponds near
Grand Marais viii be stocked with
10000 brook, rainbow and brown trout
during the first week in June These
fish viii be held in the ponds until next
fall when they will average three to
six inches in length. They will be
used to stock lakes and streams within
the forest.
In cooperation with the u S. bureau
Of fisheries, the q. S. forest service,
assisted in tagging 1000 wall-eyed pike
on Everett and Twin lakes. As the
tagged fish are caught by fishermen
during the summer, they are reported
to local game wardens. In this way
records are kept of the movements and
rate of growth of the fish. While the
pike we're being tagged, spawn was
gathered from selected fish. These eggs
we're then transported to the Lester
River hatchery in Duluth, and are now
in the process Of Matching.
by careful and continued restocking
Of streams and lakes, the Q. S. Forest
Service and Minnesota Conservation de.
partment expect TO keep good fishing
within the Superior National Forest
waters" continued Mr. Hendee.

Lake County Officials Attend
Organization Meeting in
Ironwood, Michigan.

A group Of Lake county officials took
part IN the formation of a tri-state
federal forestry aid and conservation
committee at meeting held in Iron
wood, Mich, last week The group en-
dorsed the Concentration bill. now
IN the files Of congress, and the Ship
stead bill as a supplement, both of
which would provide federal payments
to replace tax money lost through the
acquisition Of land for federal forests.
The Characterization bill would paw
to Lake county about $4,000 yearly,
according to Commissioner John Sand
strom, who attended the meeting. This
would amount to about cents per
acre.
He stated that so much land had
been removed from the tax rolls in his
county through purchase by the govern
ment for forestry purposes that the
county was finding it difficult to raise
enough revenue to operate the county
government. Up to June 80 of last
year this had amounted to nearly one
third Of the total acreage of the
county.
The Colmer -Harrison bill would pay
to Lake county yearly three per cent
of the purchase price Of such lands.
A permanent committee TO promote
enactment Of the measure was named.
1t included three men from each of the
states represented. Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. Those from this
state are Hanford Cox, CIoquet; Arthur
Lampe, Duluth, st. Louis county super
intendent Of schools, and c. z. Camp
ton, Two Harbors, Lake county superin-
tendent.
Present at the meeting from Lake
county were Commissioners Sandstrom.

berg; Dean Swain, county highway de-
partment; Paul w Nelson, county audi
tor; Carl G. Anderson, state represen-
tative, and Campton-
