STOCKS
GOING into
EAST STATE
Hatcheries Supervisor Reports
Many Reservoirs Are
Being Planted.
Will Distribute Pike Eggs; Says
Food Deficient in Nelson
Reservoir.

Stocking of eastern Montana re-
servoirs, including Fort Peck, with
fish is continuing under the pro-
gram of the state fish and game
department. it was declared here
by Elmer Phillips. state hatcheries
superintendent. at a dinner meet
ing with Glasgow sportSmen Thurs
day evening. E. d. Benson, president
of the Valley Sportsmen's asSocia-
ton, presided.
The dinner was a prelude to the
public showing of the departments
wildlife moving pictures at the
courthouse. A large crowd attended.
Jack Parsell. head of the depart
ment's wildlife restoration division,
showed the pictures. Other officials
at the dinner included Elmer john
son. state fish and game commits
sioner: Fay Coey, biologist with the
state wildlife restoration division,
and Tom Horn, manager of the Fort
Peck game range of the federal fish
and wildlife service.
The state has stocked more than
$50 eastern Montana reservoirs with
warn water fish the past year and
hopes to stock as many more this
season. Mr.. Phillips declared.
Will Distribute Pike
For the first time. his department
is producing wall-eye pike eggs at
the Big Timber hatchery and these
will be distributed over Montana.
At Fort Peck lake. he said, the
state department is trying several
species of fish besides the popular
,.ns.oh Doth n Dnfnhnuf Qnh Tlnnh
Lleven trout have been planted.
I'VE may expect perch in the
lake to diminish Mr.. Phillips pre-
dicted. History has been that in
lakes of fluctuating level. the foods
eaten by perch gradually became
less plentiful. This may happen at
Fort Peck. However, they have given
many fishing and, before their de-
cline. other species should show in
c~reaSes."
The lake has had a decided effect
upstream fishing. he added. Pike
caught neal the mouth of the Marias
are as large as 5 OF 6 pounds. Pre-
viously they never were larger than
2 or 3 pounds. The fisheries director
said this indicated a concentration
of food for the fish in the lake.
Nelson is Deficient
Test seinings indicate a marked
deficiency of fish food supply in
Nelson reservoir. he said. Eventually,
the lake must be artifically fortified
with nitrates and phosphate.
A new species TO be tried at
Fort Peck this year will be sockeye
salmon. Mr.. Phillips said. The SAL
mon have proved out in lakes fur
Their west. More Rainbow trout will
be planted.
Mr.. Parsell BRIEFLY discussed the
state department surveys. which
form the basis for all projects. His
departments work was illustrated
in the outstanding wild life pictures
shown at the courthouse.

Glasgow Pilot Tells How He
Hit and Sank Jap Submarine

BY now. the c. o. had arrived
ana we went in for a stern attack
through the smoke, which gave us
a beautiful screen. They didn't
spy us until we were bearing down
pretty close and fast. Their fire
went above our heads.
THE c. o. dropped both depth
charges in salvo which were very
well placed hits but both were buds
. i dropped n down in close,
which caught her about 30-40 feet
aft Of the coming tower and really
rocked it plenty. Those charges
really throw up a geyser."
Lee then came around in a tight
turn and came back in with his
second charge, which caught her
right amidships. I came back STRAIT
ing, but had only time for n Or
two runs. because she went down
in less than 60 seconds.
Picks Up Survivors
A New Zealand corvette picked
up six Jap survivors.
As Lee says, I'VE just got it in the
nick Of time. The sun sets at 6 p. m.
and l arrived at 5:45."
BY this time, the boys at his base
had heard the news. piled deep
around the base radio. They told
Lee. that he screamed. Il got

1T must have been funny" is
his comment. They said it sounded
just like the Lone Ranger, or some
thing"
Lee had an opportunity to visit
the survivors. Following true Ameri-
can instinct. he got a %souvenior
from one of them, a pair of Nip
ponese coveralls. by the tattered
shape of them, they don't seem too
prosperous" is his conclusion.
Enlisted in 1871
The navy flier, who directed
music activities in Glasgow high
school for two years, entered the
navy in September, 1941. Suisse
quent training took him to Seattle
and Corpus Christi, Texas, where
he received his wings and an en-
signs commission. He had more
training on the west coast before he
went overseas in February, l943.
He was here on his way to Jack
sonville, Fla, for carrier training.
He also visited his mother in Spring
Grove, MINI. His only regret about
his Pacific assignment came over
his failure by a few days to meet
his brother Bob, who is also flying
