BARCLAY ON BRIDGE

Here South made q guess at the

dicating only the 4 remaining
with West. So he fired back the
heart /. played the 7, and West
had to take it. He returned the

then took the heart J. LED to

When West was il with the
heart A, a diamond return would
have spoiled dec!acer's timing by
getting the diamond A out of
dummy too soon. After South led

have eot back into dummy to use
the heart K and so would have

The following report, prepared
bv Graham Caldwell who iss in
charge of the local fish hatchery,
was given by Mr.. Buyes.
1889 was the best year at the
fish hatchery as regards improve
ments and production since the
plant was built. Thanks to the
WPA, we were able to have three
new ponds completed, much need
ed residence constructed, and nu-
merous improvements to the es-
tablishment made. Our three ponds
built in 1889, together with the one
finished in 1888 have trippled our
production Of lingering fish in the
last two years.

Libby Fish Hatchery Superintendent
Tells of Much Work Done During 1899

other hatcheries in the state. In
return for this production we were
supplied with 1,25OO00 Native eggs,
$4,000 Rainbow eggs and $1,000
Silver Salmon eggs.
AS to plants made, a high per-
centage of the loads of fish planted
were from four to seven inches in
length, which represents vast i'm
provement over the predominance of
smaller fish planted in former years.
As many loads of fish were planted
in 1899 as have ever been planted
from the Libby station, and when
one considers the fact that our inn
proved distribution units carry over
twice as many fish as formerly, a
considerable gain is seen. In Lin
coin county 723,000 Natives were
planted, 23,200 Rainbow, 492, 1000
Eastern Brook, and $4,000 Silver
Salmon.
We have been working for some
time on method to get the coarse
fish from our lakes, and in 1899
we found system to make real
progress in this line on at least one
lake, same being the Thompson
chain in which we managed to trap
a large quantity Of suckers and
squawfish from the inlet. Results
were promising for future anpjhila-
Etion o1 f4re1e 1pec1cs in thex4 MateTs
and as a source OF fish feed for
our hatchery.
Planting Larger Fish
I'm 1910 we will plant even more
fish of larger size, due to having
more ponds in operation than ever
before A wider activity in ridding
our lakes of coarse fish is planned.
We hope to finish four more rear
ing ponds which will give us pro-
duction of lingering fish second to
none in the state. Five concrete
holding tanks and Improvements to
the hatchery in the way of new
feed room are also planned" :"
Mr.. Boyes stated that he believed
the present game commission was
doing an excellent job and any CO.
operation the Commercial Club
might give them would be Of help
to the commission and of benefit to
the CLUB.
Superintendent of Fisheries John
Schofield has recommended the en-
largement of the local hatchery and
in addition has recommended that
more ponds be installed SO as to
enable them to hold greater num-
ber Of fish to be liberated when
they have attained sufficient size.
IF we are fortunate enough to have
Schofield in charge of this depart
ment for the next five years, our
hatchery will be second to none in
the state. He deserves the support
and thanks of every sportsman in
this county and we have him to
thank for the very efficient fore
man we have in charge at the pres
ent time," said Boyes.
He stated that the fish and game
committee is opposed to foreign
entanglements" such as the pro-
posed seven county club. He said,
Everything we have at the present
time was gotten through our own
efforts and we are not in favor OF
turning our local affairs over to
outside interests"

ects sponsored by Lincoln county.
In the Eureka district at Murray
hill on the mail route and around
Trego on the Swamp creek road
above Fortine creek bridge fills were
made and gravel and sand spread,
decreasing hazards for winter traf-
fic. At Rexford fills were made
and about 286 feet of wooden cul-
vert were built and installed.
The large fills were made on the
Libby-Jennings road Workers
drilled 800 feet into rock cut with
jackhammers and compressor.
In the Troy district, also on the
project sponsored by Lincoln county
and the WPA, 2,700 feet were sur
veyed, extending the Pine creek
road now under construction. Sand
and gravel has been hauled and
spread, also for the Leonia road. A
guard rail on the Iron creek road, Il
feet OF iron culvert on the Bull
Lake road and 10 feet OF wooden
culvert on the Pine creek road were
installed. Rock was used IN the

LARGE NUMBER DO
NOT CALL FOR HELP

In letter mailed to all employ
ers OF the state, Barclay CraiGheAd,
chairman of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission OF Mon
tana, gives much information re-
earding the work of the commission.
He gives the amount OF money col
lected from employers, the amoupt
paid out to unemployed, and the
number of persons benefited, be-
sides much other information.
Craighead writes as follows.
The Unemployment Compensation
Commission of Montana has been
collecting very large sums from EN-
ployers within this state Our total
collections now amount to approx
mately $500, 10000. We have been
paying benefits under the law since
July /, 1889. We are able to report
roughly that disbursements 30 far
equal only approximately 7b per
cent of present collections, with
out dipping into reserves) and we
therefore believe that the reserve
funds are adequate and will main
tain the solvency of the trust fund
for at least several years.
Many Unemployed Are Helped

to December OF this year, 49,975

amount of $563, ,771.OO. During that
period more than 1000 individu-
ais were determined eligible for
weekly benefits II they continued
to be unemployed. However, the
largest number Of benefit checks is
sued in any week was 3,7l5, which
is an indication that = vast number
OF those found eligible secured at
