8 TROUT AND FORESTS The Former Diminish With the Latter. FRANK CARLETON'S EXPERIENCE It Causes Him to DUooaru Entertaiujfly on. the Rain of Trout Streams. Frank H. Carleton and party hooted 125 trout In the Kinniklnick a few days ago.

A curious fact about the "haul," which attracted Mr. Cardeton's attention, was that the fish, with three exceptions, were of a uniform size and rather below the average -weight. The exceptions were considerably larger than the other fish and being caught in the (stream at points remotely distant from each other, Mr. Carleton is of the opinion that they were of the lot of two-year-olds with which the Kinniklnick was stocked last rear. At that time many Minnesota and Wisconsin anglers contributed each to a jfund sufficient to put in a good supply of trout "old enough to know." Mr.

Carleton, who is a veteran angler and an acknowledged authority on the technique of the art, believed then, and still believes, that in a majority of cases it Is a mistaken policy to stock liberally Streams, subject to periodical freshets, fry. Said he: Trout "I saw enough during my recent trip along the Klnnikinick to show me the lolly of putting very young trout into a stream of that character. A heavy raintall had pushed the stream over its banks and for six days it ran a mile wide. Then, It quickly subsided to its normal conflues. In walking across the recently sub- i merged fields we were able here and there to pick up handfuls of small trout from ibalf an Inch to two inches long.

Lacking the sagacity of the older fish and the strength, to contend against the swollen the powerful current swept them off Into the fields and when the flood went down they perished. Larger trout have stuck to the channel or would have been cunning enough to get into their hiding places and remain there until the danger had passed." Mr. Carleton has made annual pilgrim- Sgea to the Kinnlkinick for the last thirty years and knows the stream like a book. It -was during the hours of recreation "vriich he spent along that famous resort for trout that he evolved much of the material for his interesting paper on: Forest Preservation Should Interest dissertation which has been rightly styled a classic on that subject. Fish and Forests.

As surely as the destruction of forests dries up streamsand that fact has been scientifically demonstrated Mr. Carleton, just so surely are fish disappearing in the lakes and streams affected. He finds that the destruction of forests has a particularly noticeable effect on the trout in running water. Streams where an equable flow of clear, cool water was to tie had the year around, owing to forest reservoirs, now get their surplus water in floods. The constant effect of the freshets Is to coat the bed of the stream a thick deposit of soil torn from the banks and to give the stream an even depth throughout, where deep holes once contrasted with the shallower waters.

The deep holes or pools are naturally favorite haunts of trout. The absence of such resorts is responsible to some extent lor the decrease In the supply of trout. Food Supply Cut Off. "But the woret effect of this deposit of mud all along the course of a stream, like the Kinnlkinick. for instance, 1' said Mr.

Carleton, "is that it cuts off the food supply of the trout, to a material extent. Trout naturally seek out a sandy or gravelly bed, not only for spawning purposes, but because of its superior food attractions. On these beds the fish find the crustaceans, which constitute their principal food. When these beds are covered with mud the food supply is cut off and the trout migrate, or, if they remain, show the effects of half rations by constantly diminishing in size. That is one reason why, out of a catch of 125 fish a few days ago, there was such a uniformity of size, where in years gone by I should have expected to find a great many beauties big of so large a catch.

I venture- to- say that of that catch not less than nine-tenths were- those with which the stream had been stocked. With changed conditions, the Kinniklnick would hardly be the trout stream it is to-day, but for the steps taken to preserve the trout. In the cutting of trees along the banks of streams you have a direct effect the fish because a most fruitful source of food supply is then cut off. The worms and bugs which ordinarily drop from the are no longer to be had in considerable numbers and the trout's struggle for existence is a hard one. The roots of trees under the banks ordinarily are harboring places and favorite retreats fish, and their removal "has a potent effect in decreasing the supply of fish in I6OMWfI3H) )jM TAIf cigars our mdenwft to hfepay our goods, ways us more, but you 1 DQX tJfafjOS 111 THE BRANDS THAT AREp i -Fa "'-r streams once wooded, but now bereft of the grateful shade of the arching branches." LOTS OF BASS HOOKED True Explanation of the Absence of "Biff Catch" Yarns.

Why are the bold fishermen of these parts lyin' low and nuffln, like Brer Remus, these days? Why, during the first two weeks of the open season, when fish are said to be more plentiful in lake and stream than in years, do we hear so few reports of big catches? Why, in fact is there not the usual batch of fish stories? These queries can doubtless be answered by the statement that there is a wholesale violation of the law which says "hands off" of black bass until June 1. Game wardens are said to be more than usually watchful this season, and every angler who brings back a string of bass on the quiet prefers to keep still about his prowess rather than boast of his catch tat the risk of getting a warden on his trail. Several good friends of the fishing editor who had reason to believe that he would not publish their confessions, have admitted that they have caught nothing but black bass since the season opened. Said one of them, who has the reputation of. being a strictly law-abiding citizen in most respects: I don't believe in the constitutionality of any such law as that.

You know as 'well as I do, that the only reason for that law was to protect the wealthy lake dwellers, who can't get a chance at -the fish until they move oat to their summer houses in June. That's why the time limit was placed jat June 1. Things have come to a pretty I pass If all our game and fish laws are to be enacted solely in interests and at the behest of the moneyed class. And what are you going to do, when ing but bass bite? The lakes are full of bass. They don't need protection.

You cannot catch anything but bass, and it's asking too much of a citizen and true sportsman though he may say that ha shall dutifully put back in the water any bass that happens to grab his hook? VISIT STATE HATCHERY Game and Fish Commission Contemplates The state game and fish commission visited the state fish hatchery at Willow Brook yesterday afternoon. The commissioners were accompanied by Warden Sam Pullerton, Attorney General Douglass, President Wheelock and Gustav Willius, of the St. Paul park board, Coulty Attorney Marden, of Clay county, and Mayor Tillotson, of Moorhead. The purpose of the inspection was to look over the present site its relation to the adjoining seventeen acres recently donated by the city of St. Paul.

The lease for the present site expires Jan. 1, but the commissioners expect to be able to purchase the site outright by that time. The land given by St. Paul will probably be turned into a park. The improvements contemplated cannot be made before Aug.

1, at which time the legislative appropriation of $6,550 will be available. New buildings will be built in the fall. The commission inspected the Wisconsin hatchery at Osceola last evening. Warden Fullerton's plan is to build a stone dam across the mouth of a ravine in the grant, and store the water flowing into it from neighboring springs. In that way he hopes to convert what is now a willow and tamarack swamp into a large pond, to be used for the propagation of bass.

Other fishes, as now, will have their hatching and dwelling places in tanks of spring water always kept fresh and pure. WHEX FISH BITE BEST Some Favor Cloudy Want Sunshine. The cold weather which set in Saturday necessitated the postponement of many a fishing expedition to the resorts within easy distance of Minneapolis. Fish don't bite in cold weather, and besides that, even Ike Walton would have found very cold comfort in angling with the temperature hanging so dangerously near the freezing point. Dell Rudd's recent advice to "wait for a rainy day" has called forth adverse comment from certain members of the old school of angling.

Two Minneapolis fishermen, who are generally pretty well agreed on most matters appertaining to the hook and line, are at variance as the proper conditions which should surround successful trout catching. One says it is a sinful waste of time to try to hook trout on a sunny day. He has been waiting a week for rain in order to have a go at trout. In the meantime bis brother made four trips on days when the sun particularly bright, returning each time with a handsome string, the largest catch numbering thirty-six. The first rainy day that came along the other man went to his favorite preserves and after angling in the wet all morning caught only one small trout.

As soon as the sun came out in the afternoon he hooked fifteen. He says there are exceptions to all rules. Fl LERTOX IS ANSWERED Pike Plenty In Mlnneionka, but Hard to Catch. An authority on Minnetonka fishing has offered an explanation of Warden Sam" Fullerton's query as to what has become of pike, once so plentiful in Minnetonka. He says: 1--S.

The lake is still full of pike; you needn't worry about that. The whole trouble is that people, as a rule, don't knew how to go after them. Now, if you are looking for pike, you can't go out to the lake and drop your hook and line in the water and expect to pull out pike just as you would bass, pickerel or crappies. Of course you are too law-abiding to angle for bass now. You must go especially armed for pike, and then you may be reasonably sure of getting what you are looking for.

Now, every experienced fisherman knows, or should know, that tha pike is essentially a deep-water fish. Therefore, you've got to do some "deep sea' fishing. It won't do to get a boat, paddle out into the lake and angle with your hook Just beneath the surface. Oh no, that won't do. If you're looking for pike, fish off a sand shoal, if possible.

That's where pike congregate. You won't find them near the top; you can't expect to land one unless you keep your bait several feet below the light. That kind of fish- Ing will reveal the fact that there are still many pike in Minnetonka. I have a friend who has no difficulty in. catching them any time lie wants them.

Any kind of bait do if you go at it right. The pike is one of the most greedy of flan and will grab anything. BIKEHEWB. BROKE. TANDEM CENTURY Bird and Mellrath's Good Ride Yesterday.

Thomas I. Bird and James Mclllrath, of St. Paul, yesterday smashed the tandem century record for the St. course, covering the distance in 6:32. The previous best time was 6:38.

The plucky riders went after the record at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning with a chilly day's ride ahead of them. The course was fast, and when the sun came out and the riders shook the kinks out of their muscles and joints, they began to hit up a lively pace, which they maintained to the finish. In milder weather the St. Paul men expect to be able to do the distance in six hours. Charles Hofer trailed the tandem for forty miles.

They completed the half century in 2:41. J. J. team: mate on a tandem, kept the pace, on a single for the rest of the century. After 1.000-Mlle Record.

"Rainmaker" lowered the record two years ago, it 92:36. THE AN EXCITING MEET That Between Minnesota and lowa, Friday, Is Sure to Be.

FORECAST FAVORS THE GOPHERS Saturday's Events Not the Best Evidence as to What Will Be Done. The first opportunity to get anything like a definite idea of what may be expected of the Minnesota track team this year was given by the spring sports held at Northrop field Saturday afternoon. The day was raw and windy, and the conditions for good performances anything but favorable, but in spite of this fact very creditable time was made in several of the events, and a fairly satisfactory result obtarted in all the events, taken as a whole. In the dual games with lowa, which will be held on Northrop field on Friday afternoon of this week, a close and exciting contest is to be expected. All the events on the regular intercollegiate program, with the exception of the mile walk, will be contested, and as lowa is said to have a strong team this year, Minnesota will have a hard fight to win the day.

System Against Minnesota. If first, second and third places all counted Minnesota would doubtless have no difficulty in receiving the greater number of points with her team, but in the present dual contest, which has been arranged on the tanie basu the dual gWAN TURNBLADS EL ECTRIC AUTOMOBILE. THE PIONEER ACHINE IN MINNEAPOLIS. wn games between Yale and Harvard vs. Oxford and Cambridge, first place alone being considered, lowa's hopes should be bright.

Three men from each university will be entered in each event. In the 100-yard dash the fastest men that Minnesota can present will be Bockman, McPherson and Boeckman, although it is possible that Bartlett may replace McPherson. Cossette, who ran a close second In the dashes at the winter sport 6, and from whom much was expected, has been unable to train "for the past month on account of a strained tendon. Bockman, at his best, can cover the distance in 10 2-5. but as lowa is said to have a sprinter who is running in 10 1-5, the 100-yard event must be conceded to the Hawkeyes.

In the 220-yard dash lowa again will be the favorite, though Tebbltt and Boeck- MR. TURNBLADS ELECTRIC LANT USED IX CHARGING. man, who run on about equal terms, may succeed in carrying off the event; 23 2-5 will probably win this event. Ilarria Counted Upon. In the quarter mile run lowa has a fast man in Brown, but Harris of Minnesota can be counted upon with reasonable certainty to win the event.

Harris' time on Saturday was 55 1-5 seconds, but on a fair day he should be able to bring this down to 62 seconds. Tebbitt, in the quarter, is a close second to Harris, and it is not imposaible that on the 17th he may prove himself the better man. Dix, while not yet in condition, should prove a fast man before the end of the season. In the half mile Harris or Riebeets should win for Minnesota. Harris' performance of 2:06 on Saturday, considering the weather conditions, was remarkably fast, and on a good track and fair day would approach closely to two minutes, Riebetts Is a man who is not yet at his best, but is improving daily.

On Friday he should be a dangerous rival for Harris. Bass will be the third man to represent Minnesota in this event. In the mile run Minnesota bases her hopes on Came. When pushed Came should be able to tnake the distance in 4:50, or better, which will probably win the event, although Brown of lowa will make a hard fight for the place. The Hurdles.

la the high and low hurdles Bockman of Minnesota should win without difficulty, with Tate a close second in the 120---yard, and Lewis second In the 220-yard. Pierce of Minnesota can be relied upon for 10 feet 6 inches in the pole vault, which will, in all probability, win the event. Furber's best performance is 10 feet, while Smith is close behind. In the broad Jump both Pierce and Tate can be counted on for more than 20 feet, while lowa is also strong in this event. Tate, captain of the Minnesota team, who has a record of 5 feet 10 inches In the high Jump, should easily carry oft this event, with McPherson a close second.

Points for lovra. In the hammer and shot lowa may be expected to win, though if LaFaur Improves his form during the present week, he may still have a slight chance, while Mueller's work with the shot entitles him to some consideration. Knowlton, who is doing splendid work with the discus, should have no difficulty in carrying off the discus event. LaFaur may be depended on for about 100 feet, too. It will be seen from this summary that lowa can count on four events, while Minnesota can reasonably count on five with the other three in doubt, so that a close and exciting contest may be looked for.

IXIVERSITY-HIGH SCHOOL MEET Bad Weather Makes Poor Showing In Saturday Trials. Dreary, cold for foot- the dual university and high school track meet on Northrop field Saturday a rather dull affair. The athletes couMn't limber up in the low temperature, and though they worked hard under the conditions, didn't get within speaking distance of any records. The finish of every track event was made in the face of a strong wind. Clouds of dust and occasional sprinkles were annoying features of the afternoon.

The best "stunt" of the list was Bockman's time of 10 1-5 in the 100-yard dash. The St. Paul Central high school won from the four Minneapolis high schools in a spirited contest for points. St. Paul scored 28; Minneapolis Central, 25.

FIELD DAY EVENTS They Excite Much Interest at Winona. Winona, May than the usual amount of interest 1b being taken In field day athletics In Winona this spring. Arrangements have been made for a field day meeting between the La Crcwse and Winona high schools at La Crosse a week from Saturday. Next Saturday the Winona high school athletes will hold a preliminary field day here to select the best men to go down. A field day contest between the Winona and La Crosse Y.

M. C. A. boys is also to be held here this spring. On Saturday the eighth grade pupils the different schools of the city held a field day contest at the old fair grounds.

This is the second year that such a contest has been held. The prize is a large silken banner. This was won last year by pupils from the central school. On Saturday the banner was capture 1 by the Madison school, which easily distanced all competitors. It won the banner with a score of 61 points, to 41 for the central school team and 16 for the Jefferson school team.

The other buildings did not participate. The winning team included two sons of Congressman James A. Tawney and was made np as follows: A. Ortwein, M. Tawney, F.

Tawney, V. Miller, G. Woodward, T. Theurer, H. Scripture, L.

Jacobi, H. Johnson, L. Shute, V. Austin and H. Cram.

Athletic sports were a feature of the nature day excursion of the Winona normal school to Bear Creek last Friday. An indoor ball game of four innings between ladies of the school and members of the faculty resulted in favor of the ladies by a score of 7 to 5. A fifty-yard dash was won by W. White took the "cock fight." The pony race was won by Muench and Mas-teller and the one-legged race by Duffy. The ladies' fifty-yard race resulted in a tie between Misses Tweet and Nelson.

The junior ladies defeated the seniors in a relay race. A string chewing contest was won by J. Muench. Winona at the present time has two automobiles, one owned by Emil Leicht, business manager of the Westllcher Herold, and, the other by Seymour W. Brown.

CARLETON COLLEGE MEET Classes Are Evenly Matched This Year. The annual field and track meet of the several classe of Carleton college will occur Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. To stimulate the entries to their best efforts and to advance the best men for the intercollegiate events each year, the athletic union a year ago offered a prize to the class winning the most points in the inter-clas smeet. The prize is a beautiful cup, splendidly designed. The class which wins the most points in a year has its name engraved upon the cup, if it duplicates its performance a second year it owns the cup.

The contest this year will be "fierce." The present senior class got its name on the cup last year, and the other classes are spar- Ing no effort to make a better showing. The contestants are so evenly matched that the outcome cannot be predicted. The program of events will consist of a shot put, hammer throw, 100-yard, 220---yard, 440-yard, one-half mile and mile races, hurdle races, pole vaults, running broad jump and high jump. PATH TO THE PALISADES Good Roads Club of Cedar Rapids Will Build It. Special to The Journal.

Cedar Rapids, lowa, May Cedar Rapids Good Roads Club has decided upon a project which is hailed with delight by the cyclists of Cedar Rapids and vicinity. This week work will commence on a bicycle path to the Palisades, about sixteen miles from-the city. It will be built of gravel and kept in repair. The Palisades are rock formations on the banks of the Cedar river, not far from Mount Vernon. They are fifty or sixty feet high and run along the river banks for a goodly distance.

There are also heavy timber and numerous springs and the place is popular for ptcnicers and pleasure parties for miles around. The Cedar Rapids Club has a large membership and starts out this year stronger than ever before. Distinction.

11)01. THE CADDY PROBLEM Checking System Finds a Few Defenders. OBJECT TO SERVING THE LADIES i Such la the Unitnllnut Attitude of Some of Scarce. The Journal's story last Monday about dissatisfaction at the Minikahda club with the new system of checking i caddies, has brought forward a very few champions of the new system of paying the They say that the checking system has been found by much older and wiser clubs than the Minikahda to be the only satisfactory means of dealing with unreasonable youngsters who "will be boys" even on the golf links. A member of the committee on rules and regulations heartily commended the system yesterday, and said that at the Town and Country club it had been found to be the only feasible way of making the caddies toe the mark.

Mercenary The principal objection urged against the old plan of paying boys out of pocket, he said, was that the caddies had reduced it wholly to a money-making proposition, and had forgotten to be even accommodating. It has become a fixed principal with the. caddies, It is said, to shun women players the moment they appear on the grounds. The average woman least at the reputation of being several degrees slower than her male competitors. It not only takes her longer to make the round though It may be to say but it also occasionally happens that, having made, half the distance she tires and gives up the chase.

This throws caddy out on his financial the 15 cents a round which he had been looking for goes glimmering. Caddy is only human, and he wants to be sure of his quarry. Naturally, where such conditions obtain, he prefers being aide-decamp to a man in preference to a woman. Last season caddies were known to take to the woods upon the approach of a woman. Will Remove the Evil.

The checking system, it is said, will tend to mitigate this evil, though in just what respect remains to be seen. The fact that the boys will be forced to wait until the end of the week, under the check system, and get their coin in a lump sum, will hardly make them any more solicitous in serving the ladies. Good Master Caddy The whole trouble with the caddies, says another member of the committee, is the difficulty in securing an efficient master caddy. The usual salary allotted to a master caddy is $6 per week. The master must needs be considerably larger and considerably older than the rank and file of club carriers.

He must also be above the average in in fact, be born to command. Now everyone knows that in this glorious country, when times are so prosperous the kind of boy described is, in a majority of cases, in a position to earn a great deal more than $6 a week. While touching on this vexatious question of caddies, it may be remarked that the members of the Skokie Country club, Chicago, had to carry their own bags most of one Saturday afternoon, owing to a strike among the caddies. The caddies refused to work because their fees were changed from 15 cents an hour to 15 cents a round. The boys "went out" because of the claim- that they could make more money under the old fee of 15 cents an hour, as it sometimes takes an hour and a half or more to make a round.

A compromise was finally effected by an agreement that the matter would be taken up at a special meeting if the boys would return to work. THE WAY STATIONS of Interest on the Mlnlkahda Golf Links.

AND HE'S A GENTLEMAN, TOO Half a Dozen Matches Arranged Between Town and Country and Minikahda Cludh. The members of the Town aud Country clut) is to say, the golfing fraternity, which practically amounts to the same congratulating themselves at the opening of the season on their good fortune in securing George Braid as golf instructor and clubmaker for this year. Mr. Braid is from St. Andrews, Scotland, and came across the water in '98.

He spent his first season on this side with the Baltimore Country club, of Baltimore, and has been with the Kansas City Country club for the last two years. At Kansas City he held the course record for eighteen holes, doing them in. seventy-one. He knows the game like a book and his services will be of Inestimable benefit to the already fast players of the country club. The other day he- did the temporary course in thirty strokes, making six of the holes in four and two in three.

It may be said to Mr. Braid's credit that he lacks the self-assertiveness, and over-bearing manner, generally so disagreeably characteristic of the golf expert. Matches With Minikahda. Half a dozen matches have been arranged between the Country club and the Minikahda club of Minneapolis. It behooves the Minikahda club to enlist the services 01 a coach also if it expects to make the right sort of showing against the St.

Paul exponents of the game of golf. The Country club people have this advantage over the Minikahda members that theirs is a much older organization, and that they have played the game for several years, while it is still in its infancy at the Calhoun links. Bryn Mawr All Right. It may be remarked incidentally that there is an aggregation of golfers at the Bryn Mawr links who will open the eyes of the larger clubs hereabouts when they got together some fine summer day. There is this distinction to be made about the Bryn Mawr brand of golf that, while the game is not the whole thing at the other clubs, which were organized quite as much for social diversions, golf is the particular business which called the Bryn Mawr club into being.

Such an environment may be expected to turn out golf players who "work at it." MIXIKAHUA'S BEGINNING Cold Weather and Strong; Wind Interfere With Golf. Cold weather and a strong wind which made accurate driving out of the question, did not interfere with the ardor of players at the formal opening of the Minikahda links Saturday.
