DISTRIBUTING STOCKING FRY FOR NORTH LAKES Car Belonging to State Game & Fish Commission Makes Trip from St. Paul to International Falls.— Car Is Practical One. Some 200 cans of fry, representing several thousand lively, fat speci- mens of black bass and trout, were distributed at different points along the N. P. and M. & I. railway lines yesterday and last evening from the fish car belonging to the State Game & Fish Commission, under the direc- tion of Carlos Avery, executive agent of the State Game and Fish Com- mission; Samuel Fullerton, superin- tendent of the State Fisheries, and the members of the State Game & Fish Commission, assisted by A. G. Rutledge, the Bemidji game warden, who made the trip from St. Paul to International Falls yesterday. 0. J. Johnson, president of the commission; John “H. Grill, first vice president; J. A. Wessel, second vice president, and Robert Hannah, secretary, were aboard the car and watched the work of distributing the fry. They were joined at Brainerd by Judge C. W. Stanton of this city, who is an ex-member of the board, and who went to International Falls! with the party. The trip of the car and the distri- bution of the fish was in response to many applications which have been made this summer for fry with which to stock many of the lakes north of\ the Twin cities, which have been in a large measure depleted of lheir‘ finny inhabitants. The trip or the car was by no means a pleasure jaunt, as the handling of fry, especially trout, entails a large amount of labor in keeping the temperature of the! water sufficiently cold to insure the best condition for the fish. During yesterday’s trip two men were con- stantly employed in breaking ice and putting it into the cans, which regulated the temperature of the water. The car has a large refrigera- tor, which carried a large amount of ice for the purpose of regulating the temperature of the water. The 200 cans of fish contained the finest specimens of fry that have been shipped from St. Paul this year. black variety, many of them being four and five inches long and per- fectly able to put up a strong fight against the voracious pickerel and other fry-destroyers. Many of the trout were steel-heads and they were all splendid speci- mens. When the game and fish car arrived in Bemidji, quite a crowd of citizens were on hand to witness the putting off of twenty cans of black bass and a like number of cans of trout to be distributed from this point. The game and fish commission car is car No. 1 and is named “The Glenwood,” in honor of O. J. Tohn- son of Glenwood, president of the State Game & Fish Commission, and also in recognition of the state fish hatchery at that place. The car was built in 1907 at Chicago Heights by the Hicks Locomotive & Car Works, the cost, including equipment being $10,000, and being paid for out of the regular iappropriation and receipts of ‘the departmient, no special appropria ition having been asked for with which to build the car. The car has a capacity of about 2,500 cans of fish, with dimensions SPECIAL!
