Ing Taken as llesnlt of IdkeN Be. ing Drained. Fishing is reported as being re. markable good at Monetzuma, on the Illinois river. An unusual condition there contributes to the good (fishing and makes it possible for fishermen to catch more fllsh than they can take care of, owing to the scarcity of ice.

A Chicago syndicate controlling a wide extent of in the vicinity of Mon'tezuma has undertaken to drain thousands of 'acres of land, estimated to exceed 15,000 acres, and for thia purpose 'they are digging dutches from five lakes to drain them through one drain into the Illinois river. As the diltoh diggers progress cut temporary dams and allow the water behind them to run toward the river, advancing It the ditch, digging moved (forward. Im. mense numbers of fish are -being car. rled iout through the ditch by the rush of -waters, and people stand on the hanks of the ditch rind haul the fish out by the hundreds.

So num. erous are they Uhat the ice supply was found Insufficient, and for that reason the men (had to stop catching them. When the flitch is finished te fish remaining in the 'lakes will be allowed to escape Into the Illinois river. M'Pike lots, cash or time payment.
