The total reported catch for Wa
terton Lakes National Park has
shown a substantial increase oven
that of the 1852 season, when a to-
tai of 6,861 fish were reported
caught. The increase in catch oc-
CURED for all species except rain
bow trout and dolly warden. The
total number of fish released by
anglers reporting was 1,434; av-
erage number of fish caught per
angling effort, 2.7; average num-
ber of fish caught per man hour,
10.
The number of each of eight spe-
cies reported caught in Waterton
Lakes National Park are as fol-
lows: rainbow trout, 644; cutthroat
trout, 1889; eastern brook trout
1924; lake trout, 181; dolly var
den, 68; Rocky Mountain white
fish, 631; northern pike 1893; ling,
7; total 8,137.
There was at least one angler
at Cameron lake who was COM
pletely satisfied with his catch,
while there were probably many
who suffered from severe pangS
of jealousy. The catch-of-the-
year fell to a 12-year-old boy. He
brought in an 11-pound, 28-inch
rainbow cutthroat hybrid on July
27, 1858. That 8-year-old speci-
men came as a complete surprise
to veteran anglers of these wa
ters; nobody suspected that pre-
eastern brook trout
lake could produce such a prize,
even though it is well known that
rainbow -cutthroat of smaller size
are present.
In addition to the large hybrid,
Cameron lake produced a record
ed catch of more than 4,300 east
ern brook trout, so fish are not
lacking in that lake. The question |
now arises, "HoW many more big |
ones are there?" 1t is a certainty
that anglers will try to find out in
years by every means open
to them. Departmental limnolo-
gists will greatly appreciate hav-
ing information on all large fish |
caught brought to the attention of
ocal hatchery officials. Such in
formation will aid in formulating
,uture management practices for
he waters of Waterton Park.
While the catch of a big fish in
Cameron lake is quite unusual, it
S not so in the Waterton lakes.
Many of the lake trout taken dur
ng the past season were anything
out minnows. Several fish in the
10 to 25-pound range were report
I'd on creel census cards. One lake
rout of 2812 pounds came into
he possession of angler Jack Bair

Set Dates for '54
Hunting Season

HELENA = Final season dates
and areas for the 1954-55 big game
season in Montana were approved
by the Montana Fish and Game
commission at their regular month
ly meeting in Helena. Commits
sion Chairman Walter Banka,
Conrad, reported that printed
regulations, areas and dates will
be available early in the summer
on the hunters map published by
the department.
Regular season will open Oct.
10 and remain open through Nov.
10, with earlier opening and la
ter closing dates in certain areas,
Banka said.
In most of southeastern Mon
tana, hunters will have Is to 80
days elther-seX seasons on deer,
and hunters in the remainder of
the state will have variations of
bucks only and either-sex sea-
sons on deer.
An attempt has been made to
establish uniform opening dates
in many of the areas on both deer
and elk, Banka said. This was
done to get a wider distribution of
hunting pressure in the state, he
said
In the western half of the state,
seasons will open to either sex
deer hunting from Oct. 81 to Nov. !
Is with few exceptions where +
bucks only may be hunted.
In the central portion of the
state, there will be a three-day
season from Oct. 81 to Nov. 2 on
either sex deer.
Either sex seasons on deer in
Montana were approved by the
comiSSion after reviewing rec
concentrations from department
personnel and sportsmen's clubs to
reduce the number of animals to
conform more closely with carry
ing capacity of winter ranges.
Elk seasons are much the same
as last year, Banka said, although
two seasons will open early in the
South Fork of the Flathead and in
the Absaroka Wilderness area. In
the South Fork of the Flathead,
bulls will be hunted from Sept. Is
to Sept. 80 and either sex from
Oct. l to Nov. Is. In the Absaroka
area, either sex elk
may be hunted from Sept. Is to
Nov. Is. In the upper Middle Fork
Of the Flathead, bulls may be
hunted from Oct. l to Nov. IS, and
either sex may be hunted from
Oct. Is to Nov. Is.
Area Z which includes Beaver
head, Deer Lodge, Jefferson and
Powell and Granite counties will
De open from Oct. 81 to Nov. on
either sex elk. I
In the Sun river-Dearborn area, l
either sex elk may be hunted from {
Oct. Is to Dec. 10, or until the l
desired harvest has been taken. [
Three-day seasons for smaller
populated elk areas were approv-
ID from Oct. 81 to Nov 2, and in Q
ome other small populated elk
Ireas, the commission approved a
5-day season on either sex of elk. I
Numerous other small areas will !
,e open in combinations of bulls .
'nly and either sex in extended g
eason to keep elk off private $
Special permits will be issued c
gain for the Hound creek area n
n Cascade and Lewis and Clark
ounties, the Highwood mountains,
nd for the Castle mountains and C.
he Kings hill area of Meagher ii
ounty. These areas have had spe- n
ial seasons in the past, and spe- L
ial permits for them will be is O
ued by drawings. The number of S,
ermits and dates will be an IL
ounced later, Banka said.

Arlington Leaders Predict
Progress for County in '54

results of county bond issues
should begin to be apparent. OF
the 81 million voted for improve
mentS in our sewers, streets and
water supply, the funds for
building up facilities for the
pumping. storage and distribu-
ton of water will be used first"
One legislative proposal that
may be aired during the COM
ing session of the Virginia legis-
lature is to change the election
date of County School Board
members from November to
June.
Senator FenWick said there is
"a growing tendency to support
a May school board election"
Opposed by Peck.
Mr.. Peck said he is emphati-
cally opposed to the idea. II
definitely believe school board
members should be elected when
most people are at the polls
in November"
Among new construction prof.
ectS scheduled for a start in
1854. Mr.. Peck and Mr.. john
son cited a $25 million apartment
development to be known as
Arlington Towers and a Sc mill
lion Western Electric building to
be located in south Arlington on
the old West Brothers brickyard
property.
The latter construction is ex-
pected to begin in the first half
Of the year. The building, ac-
cording to preliminary plans,
win be used for a supply ware
house. Offices and shop for the

tivities in Maryland, Virginia.

The land was cleared for
warehouse use by County Board
action on December 26. At that
time, the tract to be used was
rezone6 from Ra 6-15 (six-story
apartment dwellings, to MI
Oight industrial uSe).
In 1854 also. a long-thwarted
desire of the Arlington Civic
Federation will be expressed
again. Clyde E. Merriman, fed
Grafton president. said he "Sus-
poets" the group will make an
other attempt to obtain public
swimming pools for county resi-
dents.
Much advancement. particu-
larly in respect to capital i'm
provementS, is to be expected in
the new year." Mr.. Merriman
added. Progress in the county
is possible if all groups work
together and put the welfare of
Arlington ahead Of politics."

To Be Able to
Justify Expenditure

District Tax Assessor James L

tell how much extra tax revenues
he is collecting with additional
personnel granted him last sum-
mer.
I've got to give an account
ing" he commented. land I ex-
pect to be able to justify the ex-
penditure.."
Mr.. Martin got $65.0O0 In ad-
ditional funds for his Office last
summer by presenting some
arithmetic to Congress. He said
that for every additional man
put to work auditing tax re-
turns. the city would collect an
additional $500 a week or even
more.
To Ask More Help.
The assessor admitted he has
had his troubles since he got
the extra funds, However. he said
he felt he could justify the ad-
ditional expense and was going
to ask for even more helpers
when Congress convenes.
Mr., Martin said he did not
have figures available now but
planned to get a report together
by February for use of Con-
greSS.
He conceded results might
not be just what he anticipated
but blamed personnel troubles
and pecuharities Of tax collect
ing for preventing a clearer
picture.
Revenue to Show up Later.
Mr.. Martin pointed out it was
the middle of the year. as far

extra taxes they bring in by re-
viewing assessments will not

One. of these assistants was
appointed in September and
the other in November, he
added.
Mr.. Martin also said two as

rest of the money went for
