Every spring millions of fish run up the streams to deposit their spawn ard are stopped when they reach the dams. They pile up until the waters of the stream are literal] black with them. Heavy with spawn, they are forced to deposit them wherever they can. At the foot of the dam they become food for suck- ° ers and pickerel. Those familiar with the facts say that this condition is responsible for the abundance of the less desirable fish in many streams and lakes. If fishways were provided for the \dams the fish, principally the wall- eyed pike and trout, would be able fo make their way up them and con- tinue up the stream to their natural spawning grounds. If they were able to do so there would be a corres- ponding increase of these much sought members of the finny tribe. The majority of the dams have been built by the logging companies. Some of them have been in existencq twenty or thirty years without fish- Under the directions of the up in the last year than ever before, scores yet remain to be constructed. The state law requires all persons owning or controlling dams to erect and maintain fishways which will al- low free passage for all fish inhabit- ing the waters obstructed. If such person does not comply with the no- tice served upon them the fishway may be built by the state and the cost recovered by civil action. Vio- Rey.

Bolter of the First State bank returned Saturday from spend- ing several days in Minneapolis and Duluth attending to business matters for the institution he represents. Speaking of Mr. Bolter’s visit te Duluth, the News-Tribune says: * “Mr. Bolter is the president of a chain of banks in Itasca county, and is one of the leading spirits in any movement undertaken to boost that county. Itasca, he says, is this year receiving more attention from set tlers than ever before in its history. Last week 15 from Iowa went in near Warba while one man at Goodlands has sold 5,000 acres to farmers whe will settle there this year. Talking of politics, Mr. Bolter said:' ‘One of the best things done by President Taft was the creating of a permanent tariff commission. In my opinion it is the only way the tariff can be removed from the influ- ence of politics. It was in power, to the detriment of the people as a whole. The ‘high cost of living, is I believe, due largely to the fact that we have a high tariff wall and the added fact that the consumers out- number the producers. I believe that the tariff ought to be gradually lowered.” “Business, said Mr. Bolter, “is gem erally improving all through Itasca county and the bank deposits are showing a healthy increase.” Along the entire route of the Mes- aba Electric railway, from Hibbing to Gilbert) men and teams are clearing the right-of-way. Contractor John Rundquist has several camps along the line. Considerable work is being done between Virginia and Mountain Tron and in places the grading is so far along that the grade is ready for the ties and rails. It is reported that the power plant for the road will be here and that the fuel use will be the slabs and other material pow waste at the Virginia & Rainy Lake mill. tures are recommended, but as good a one as any is made up of 42 pound of Kentucky Blue Grass, 5 pounds of solid Red Top and 5 pounds of White Clover per acre- The Red Top and Clover germinate quickly, and later give way to the slower-growing but more serviceable Blue Grass. Some- times a little black earth scattered sown in it, will soon give a good lawn. Where weeds begin to grow in the Jawn, or it is thin, it is often well to seatter grass-seed and also to add a fertilizer. Nitrate of soda, put on dry at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, just before a rain or before watering the lawn, often helps to, build up the grass. Two or three applications per season should be made. 7g In making a new lawn, it is very important to have a deep soil, if pos- sible. Although grass will grow for a time on a light soil, it very soon becomes thin and weedy if not fre- quently manured.—LeRoy Cady, Hor- Cohasset, A MODE? in EVERY BASS BROOK HoTEL John Nelson Proprietor Minnesota N HOTEL RESPECT ticulturist, Minn.
