j FISH' PROROGATION i i j
1 • By A. J. Sprague ei: hnsi
■;;o li/tol ! 'lot
1 Lei us understand this’ expert
’ meat. Had these eggs been fiefcb
! tilized, and then planted;twi#hd
• out being eyed, or been what Is
t known to fish Guitarists as green
■eggs, the loss would have been
heavy. As before stated the
eggs would have accumulated
largely in bunches, suffocating
them, also, exposing them to the
cottony vegetable fungas growth
as there would have been a per
jiod c- from ninety to one hun
dred days before the hatching
stage of the eggs would be reach
ed. Observations on July 6,
1920, from this plant of eggs
were made. There was located
and seen throughout the lake
and its tundra and tributary in
let streams, in schools of thou
sands, young salmon of an av
erage length of three and one
half inches, in vigorous and
healthy condition, and not like
the hand-reared, domesticated
fish, robbed of the instinct of
self-preservation. One can
realize that the cost of main
taining and feeding these fish
up to this size and growth with
out the assistance of a natural
feeding ground, provided for by
nature, would have entailed an
enormous outlay of money. Fol
lowing out this experiment, we
found that these young salmon
had passed out to sea the follow
ing September, 1920. That is to
say, the Humpy salmon had,
while the Coho migrated to their
future salt water home in Octo
ber, 1919 to February 1920, a few
remained in the lake, and are
still there, while those that
passed to sea, of the earlier lot, f
some were found in the salt wa-!
ter, very safe and sound. They
had gone over the fifty feet of;
falls without injury. BE IT UN
DERSTOOD THAT THESE
FALLS HAVE PREVENTED ANY
AND ALL FISH FROM ENTER
ING 'THIS BOD YOF WATER.
THAT PROBABLY IS REASON
REASON FOR ITS BEING A
BARREN LAKE. It is not in any
sense a mineralized body of wa
ter, and is fed by glacier, spring
and tundra water. HOWEVER,
IF IT HAD BEEN MINERALIZ
ED IT WOULD NOT PREVENT
SPAWNING OR BREEDING
SALMON FROM ENTERING.
IT HAS BEEN MY OBSERVA- j
TION THAT WE HAVE MANY j'

In a clump of black oaks on a
■noil in southwestern Indiana, a
shrine costing $1,250,000 well be
erected to perpetuate the mem

mother, Nancy Hanks. The mem

farm where Lincoln spent 14
years of the formative period of
his interesting youth.
Large parts of Chicago are be
ing covered with as much as 374
tons of soot per square mile ev
ery month during the season
when chimneys are belching
dust and dirt into the lake coun
ty atmosphere. A large part of
the city’s pulmonary troubles
are laid to this sooty condition.
In course of time this will be on
ly a shadow compared to the
gang murders.
