With the other Plant ship, the Oil

outbreak of war to bring back to
Tampa cigar factories huge car

damned even into StateroomS OF

''It was not surprising that even
before the Spanish war Tampa,
numbering among its citizens hun
dreds of Cuban born, was an in
tense partisan of the Cuban cause.
Cigar workers pledged one days

sailed for Cuban waters with the
absolute minimum of local inter

patriot, set up headquarters in
Tampa, and his small cottage is

Poison Kipp Lake
Neur BIuckfoof

HELENA-Montana Fish and
Game department biologists last
week completed initial steps in the
rehabilitation of Kipp lake near
Blackfoot in Glacier county.
District Fisheries Biologist Nels
Thoreson, Belt, who supervised the
work. said that the lake had a
very large population of carp
which had destroyed the recrea-
tional fish potential of Kipp lake
as well as lower Willow Creek and
a large area of Cut Bank creek.
Kipp lake is an irrigation reser-
voir and feeds water into Willow
creek which flows into Cut Bank
creek, Thoreson said.
Rehabilitation of the lake re-
quired 5000 pounds of Fish Tox
for the 800 acre lake area. The
toxicant was spread by the North
west Agricultural Aviation Corp,
of Choteau, which used Ford
tri-motor plane. The toxicant was
carried in three loads and re-
uuired three hours to complete.
This is the first time that air.
planes have been utilized for lake
rehabilitation work in Montana.
Thoreson said the lake will be
restocked, probably with rainbow,
after the toxicity decreases and
the water returns to normal. This
toxicity affects only fish and is
not harmful to animals.
