TROl'T EGGS HATCH HP
I*Uttted in Water# of Glacier I'ark
Where Nature Failed to Reach
Glacier Park, Mont., Oct. 15.? After
having been in operation for threo
months hatching 23,?>00,000 mountain
trput egg* for the stocking of lake*
and streams in Glacier National
J'ark, the government f;>h hat<h?,v;,
at this place was closed for the sea*
Mon. Tin- last of the hatch wa* sent
out for planting m Avalanche and
Lower Two Medicine lakes. This reg
ion of t h?- Kocky Mountains now is
said to contain, more rainbow, speck
led^ throat, Dolly Varden anJ
other varieties of trout than any
other area of its size in the World.
During the season just closed
1,000,000 grayling eggs, obtained
from the State spawn-taking stations
!nn Georgetown lake, where hatched
out, together with 610,000 rainbow
trout eggs and 800,000 natives rout"
i^gs. Of the native trout eggs. 388,- 1
?00 woiv developed only to the degree
that they became eyed eggs and
the.^e wen then packed for transpor
tation into the lakes which cannot br- 1
reached by truck or saddle horses.
Unable to pack the cans of fry
by means of puck horses, the gov-* ^
ernmert system is merely to bring ,
them to the stage of eyed ?*gg?- j
These are packed in cloth trays and1
placed in small eases, which are sup
plied with moss or ice. to keep down
the temperature. These in turn ar.'
packed upon the backs of men, who
carry them to the lakes in the re- j
teases of the Kocky Mountains, and
there planted in the watrrs.
The egg planting on a large scale
in Glacier I'ark had if- orig:n 'in !
1021. .James Hrooks, then chief !
fore* t ranger, made a survey and
found many of the small lakes and
streams were virgin waters, contain
i/)g no fish life by reason of being
cut off from the lower waters by
falls.
In fact, most ol t h ?- waters ol the
park had been virgin waters when
the park was created in 1910, and
L. \V. Hill, chairman of the Great
Northernu Railway, -was the pioneer
who realized that it would be neces
sary to aid the sport of fishing to
enjoyment of scenery. With the aid 1
of Dan Ross, <?f Kalispell, one of t h< ?
leading sportsmen of that section, fry
then was obtained from th?* Moutan i
hatche.ric and Mr.- Hiii look up th 1
task of stocking^ the stream- moi
easily accessible. However, up to the
time Forest Ranger Hrooks came to
(ilacier National Park in 1921 nothing
had been done toward stocking the
stre'aitfa which could be reached only
on foot, and how to take fry to those
lakes presented a problem which was
?olved only when he conferred with
\V. T. Thompson, superintendent of
the government hatchery at Bozeman.
Tnompson had previously made ?*
j kuccestaful expe riment in stocking an
isolated lake in YellowKtone Turk by
the use of c yed eggs, and the method
was t h?*ii adopted by Brooks, who
since planted eggs in practically all
the "high up" lakes in. the interior
of the park.
In the years 1921, 1922, 1923 aud
1924 approximately 2,500,000 tijout 1
1 try <?r eyed eggs were planted in the
; park yearly. Kggs have been carried
upon the backs of men for distances
us great us ten miles beyond the
pack horse trails, the men in some
i instance* carrying us many as 150,000
| at a time.

Well, well! It doth appear that

all thi.H had uot two friends of mine ?
a man and his wift^ from /over in
Goose Crick, happened in the Heath
Hardware next door to The Kncfiiirer
office one day last week.
^What a pretty range," said the
lady an she opened the oven door
to one of the blue enameled cooking
devices in the hardware store, "What
is the price?" she asked of Gilmer
Joyce.
"Kaghty-five dollars," said the po- j
lite salesman. "And a nice set of;
cooking utensils go with it."
"The law!" exclaimed the lady.
"Why, one of my neighbors bought
a range from a peddler the other day
and paid $1 ?>(J for it."

"Over here is a range like the
agents are selling," Joyce replied.
"We want only $50 for it? guaran

buy the $13U tangc when we can get j

"Yes'm; you -save $89 when you buy
from us," said Joyce.
I investigated a little further and
found that the wfly agents art* sell
ing half down, half next fall, and
lots of persons have fallen into the
scheme. They have paid double the
value of the stoves, no doubt, and
of course the notes given are "pure
velvet" to the stove manufacturers
in a disLant State, And if they have
done, as most fellows of their ilk,
these same notes have been "shaved"
perhaps 10 to 25 per cent and arp
now in the hands of local bankers

Indianapolis, Oct. 14. ? Samuel M.j
Ralston, United .Suites senator from j

Death came t>> the statesman ut

limits of Indianapolis. Immediate
members of the family, who had been
forewarned of the senator's condition,
were prcveut.
Senator Kalston's death was pre
ceded by a long illness caused by
disease of the kidneys. He returned
from Washington last March in poor
health.
September 5 his condition became
aggravated and he was ordered to
bed by his physicians.
His condition became alarming
early this month when uraemic poi
soning developed and recently his life
had hung by a slender thread.
Senator Halston, a Democrat, de
can nominee at the senatorial election
in 1922.
He was elected governor of In
diana for a four year term in 1912.
His name was presented to the last
national Democratic convention as a1
presidential nomination and at one
time it seemed possible that he would
receive the nomination. His insist
ence* that his name be withdrawn
took him from the contest during the
long Smith-McAdoo deadlock.
