ILLINOIS IS A GOOD STATE FOR FINNY TRIBE The great state of Illinois is so for tunate, as to have within its borders some of the most extensive natural propjig:itie and nursery grounds for fish that can be found in any com monwealth in the United States. The Illinois river may be said to have its source a short distance east of Mor ris, in Grundy county, where the Kan kakee and Desplaines rivers unite the waters from various tributaries, ami it receives also the outpour of the great drainage canal. In the bottom lands along the Illinois are many lakes and sloughs that are filled with water several times each year, when the river overflows its banks, and these lakes furnish vast spawning grounds for adult fishes and excep tional nurseries for the fry. These natural provisions are utilized by the state. ILsh commissioner in replenish ing other waters. During the season when normal conditions prevail many thousands of small fishes are seined and shipped for stock purposes, the supply being practically inexhausti ble and the number that may be tak en limited only by the length of time during which conditions may be fa vorable for collection each season and the cost of doing the work. The Illinois tish commission owns anil maintains a steamer, formerly named the Keindeer, but since the hull was rebuilt and the steamer was en larged, about one year ago, the coin mission is enabled to perform, through the season of navigation, ef ficient work in fish protection, and also in fish propagation through the utilization of nature's supply in the breeding and nursery grounds adja cent to the principal waterways of the state. When periodical high waters swell the flow of the Illinois river it backs up into all these breeding lakes and millions of fishes of all sizes and varieties found in the river run into the side waters. There Ihese lish are imprisoned when the river falls, and when hard freezing weather conies on during the winter in the shallowest waters many thousands who have survived a heated term during low wafer in the summer time invariably would perish the ex tremes of cold and heat being alike fatal to. young fishes were it not for the work performed by the commis sion. The forepart of the season, and during the time when netting is pro hibited on the Illinois river the steam er is engaged in protective work. The commission's boat, the Illinois, has powerful engines anil is very swift, be ing the fastest craft, on the river, en abling Capt. G. T. Williams and his crew to coer long distances in a very short time. The river is parol!.".! constantly during the season, the crew being ery alert to discover would-be violators or. 1 lie law against netting. This eflicicnt service has gratified the commission and resulted in a s.n isi him orv increase oi ousiness for the practical men engaged in com mercial fishery on the Illinois river. As in other waters, the "penny wise and pound foolish" policy to which some fishermen have been addieleil has been fully demonstrated, and many of that class have come to recognize the benefits of adequately enforced protection. Despite the manner in which the Il linois tish commission has been handi capped in the work of collecting fishes during the past season, there is no cause for discouragement. The fishes remain in the Illinois river and connect iug waters, and millions more will be added by the increase the next spawning season. With the pre valence of normal conditions on the river during the coming year, the em ployes of till' commissi!. n should be able to break any previous record for the work of these waters, and thereby largely augment the distribution of 19015. t'Ol'XTV TKMTI.K.
