Bozdman, March 21--The most' ambitious program yet attempted in Montana by the United States bureau of fisheries will 'be undertaken this coming summer, according to Supt. W. T. Thompson of the Bozeman' station, who the past week has made public some of the plans ifor the 1925 work.

Within a very few years the results of this program should give Montana fishermen much finer sport and 'a lot more of it than they nowy enjoy, so these plans are of general interest over the state. the location of the government hatchery at Bozeman, the greater part of its work has consisted in securing spawn front native, rainbow, and eastern brook trout and from grayling and whitefish, hatching the spawn, and planting the fiih in the easily accessible streams and lakes of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington. The spawn has come largelj- from Yellowstone lake in Yellowstone National park. Meadow creek in the Madison river valley, and 1 other less important stations. Four or five years ago the Bozeman station became interested in Glacier National park and now has spawning stations and a summer hatchery there.

A part of the 1925 program is to increase the planting in the numerous streams and lakes of this great national summer playground which evry year is attracting more and more lovers of the outdoors. The regular work 'of keeping well known and easily accessible waters well stocked will also be continued as in previous summers. The most important new steps taken will be the development of fishing in various lakes "in 'the Montana national forests which arc at present-devoid of fish. The. great, possibilities of such development have been called to the -attention- of a station 'during recent Back in 1916, 'A.

J. Walratlfi of Bozeman; discovered a beautiful mountain'lake high in the Gallatin forest. He. became its--possibilities for an experiment in fish culture but could 1 rnpt sec just' hojv 1 "He co'ul'd- get fingerlings. lip "the "rough, "tra'il "from the highway, "trie "trail being impassable for wagons or even for pack horses.

Superintendent Thompson explained the possibility of introducing fish through the medium of eyed eggs, recommending that these be planted just as they were beginning to hatch, and he agreed to accompany Mr. Walrath to assist him in the planting. Late in June, 1916, the two packed 25,000 eyed rainbow trout eggs in a specially prepared box, using what is known to fish culturists as the Atkins method of chilling the eggs, and carired it by hand up the trail to the lake. The following year 8,000 more eggs were taken up by Mr. Walrath, making a total of 3,3,000 for a surface area of about 130 acres of water.

No publicity was given i planting and Lava lake, as Mr. Walrath named his i was visited' only once or twice a year to see how the fry were developing. However, by 1923, the "wise fishermen" in Bozcman learned that there was good fishing up there and proved it by bringing out many rainbow trout averaging around eight pounds in weight. Since that summer Lava lake is listed as one of the best fishing gerunds near the Gallatin v-allcj" and, though i i to reach, is visited often during the season. The success, of this experiment has led the Bozeman station to make a study of other seemingly inaccessible unstocked lakes in western Montana, the chief source of information being the rangers in the United States forestry service.

Before 1922 Chief Ranger James P. Brooks, then stationed in Glacier National park, found innumerable lakes and streams up along the Canadian border, above SOME ACTION AT SENATORS' CAMP impassable falls, abundantly supplied with an accumulated store of food for fish but devoid of the fish. He lamented the fact that it was impossible to reach these waters by. auto, wagon or pack horse except at a prohibitive cost. In 1922 the Bozeman station began in co-operation with him a campaign of planting by means of eyed eggs, the campaign being continued through 1923 and 1924.

Now Glacier National park is well on the way towards becoming the finest trout fishing grounds in the whole Rocky mountain section. News of the success of this planting in Glacier park has gone out over Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Last year Supt. Thomp'son received many appeals for assistance along similar lines and it is planned' to answer many of these appeals favorably during 1923. The Montana Mountaineers, an association of lovers of the great outdoors, have especially urged the needs of the Alpine lakes the Mission range Missoula and Flathead lake.

This region is one- of majestic beauty but lacks good fishing. In all probability it will soon be made asily accessible from the Yellowstone trail what is known as the Park-to-Park highway. There are twelve or more good sized lakes in this section, at present virgin of fish life, that will be planted as soon as possible. The Montana Mountaineers. together with other interested people, a offerd to pay the expressagc on! eyed eggs Misosula or such! other strategic places as may be take the shipments by! auto and pack horse as far possible and then to cary the eggs to the places of deposit.

If the' trails are open early enough', some of, this planting will be Jonc with' rainbow trout from this spring's-take creek spawn "station on the Madison. -There may be' some grayling pla.nt.eijl But the most of the lakes will be stocked with native red-throat trout of the i well known to all Montana This is as it should be, for it is the most certain way of preserving native game fish. They need high which from their very nature are inaccessible to the more vigorous native and predaceous introduced varieties. It is expected that the next few years the forestry officials and the local' angling assa- ciations will keep the Bozeman station busy creating new fishing lakes and streams.

Along with the problem of planting, goes that of ascertaining whether these virgin lakes contain a supply of fish food without which it is useless to try stocking. Superintendent Thompson ha? under way some investigations of how to increase such supplies where they are not -abundant, and' of providing them where they are absent entirely. Food in plenty w'ill mean lakes filled -with large fish a few years a the initial stocking. Another major development -for the 1925 work of the Bozeman station comprises the extensive planting of the Montana grayling, the most delicious pan fish that swims our mountain waters. This fish is very selective in it? habitat and needs special, attention if it is to be preserved for later generations of Montana fishermen.

Much of earlier planting of the grayling, a a experimental in its nature, rcsutied in "failures, but now so much more is known about this fish that a successful campaign to extend its territory promises a favorable outcome. The handling of the spawn will be carried out through co-operation with the Montana fish and game department at its field stations on Senators Have Chance to Win the Pennant Again By PHILIP J. S1NNOTT. Morcing Field, Sacramento, March 21. If youth and age can work well together in an atmosphere of harmony, the Sacramento club will be a factor in the 1925 coast league pennant race.

Lou Moreing. president, and Buddy Ryan, manager of the club, are trying some daring experiments up here; experiments that leave many fans gasping. But they arc confident that they will prove success, and again make the Senators a contending team. The Senators were tail enders last season, due partly to internal dissention. Ryan handled the team in the closing weeks, but prior to tha't.

he made a scouting trip through the Western association territory. Swaps brought a flock of youngsters from that circuit in return for some of the chief trouble makers on the club, and harmony, Wackenfield, a new conier, are the catchers. Wilbur Davis, once heaved spitballs for the but he came to this club from the Western" association, highly touted as a first baseman, with an average of and 53 home runs for that league's leadership.

Paddy Siglin's record gives him second base again without question --and Schang, since i the mask and shinguards, is battling Bob Wason, another Western as-' sociation lad, for the regular third base job. Even ''Coole" McGinnis is fighting for his old place, from the Western association giving him a hot race for shortstop. In the W. ilcLaugh- lin hit .546 in 129 games. AH of these infielders, and perhaps Horton, a Sacramento busher, will be carried.

Hoffman starred in the the Western association, and in hits with Kopp, Brown, Gorman and the past ten years, time for red-throat Georgetown lake near Anaconda. Grayling were introduced very successfully at Georgetown lake within At spawning and rainbow trout, the grayling are so numerous that handling them to keep them out of the wa'y of the spawntakers an expensive business.

The present, capacity of the Montana state fishery stations for grayling is between ten and fifteen millions, an amount which falls considerably short of the number of. eggs that may easily be obtained. Warden Jackways has appealed to the United States fisheries for assistance in taking and handling a much larger proportion of this available grayling spawn at Georgetown lake and using it to develop suitable Montana waters. Needed help at Georgetown will be furnished this summer and the extra eggs will be sent to Meadow 'creek a to Glacier park. The AJeadow creek capacity for graj-ling is being increased so that it can hand'le over ten million eggs.

The waters of the Madison valley are particularly favorabcl to the grayling and the; large plantings to be made thccc are expected to do especially well. At Glacier park the capacity will be about three million and most of the grayling will be planted within the bounds of the A third extension this summer of the work of the Bozcman station will be the opening up of a new- a i field at Mystic lake, "situated out from Coulmbus in the Bcartooth National forest. Mystic lake is a new reservoir and power plant recently opened up by the Montana Power company which has constructed a road to it through mountains otherwise i i for travel. The lake offers about the same facilities for rainbow spawning as does Meadow lake on the Madison, also a Montana Power company reservoir. The federal authorities expect to utilize the Beartooth water to great advantage after they get fully established there.

i Thompson is also pushing the introduction of land- locked salmon into Montana waters. He has found i i in securing the necessary spawn for planting in sufficient quantities to let him develop a local spawning field for this fish. 'However, he hopes that this summer he will receive large enough consignments of eggs to allow real progress. This summer definite experiments will be, made with hybridization, the crossing of several varieties of trout to sec new and better varieties 'may not be obtained. For the purposcS'of these experiments, sepawn of golden trout from Volcano creek near Mount Whitney, of the Sunapec Saibling from Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, and of albino brook trout from various places are being cons i a a where they will be used with the red-throat native, rainbow, Dolly Yard-cn, Loch Lcvcn and other western trout.
