Fisherman Catches
Ancient Trout
In Prickley Pear
An elderly brown trout has been
caught after 11 years of eluding
anglers, the Montana Fish and
Game department reports. The
trout was taken from Prickley Pear
creek by R. B. McMasters of Black
Eagle.
It carried a small metal jaw tag
that revealed the secret of its age.
Known officially on department re
cords at LL 38, the trout was tag
ged in 1950. Its scales at that time
showed It was born in 1946.
By fish standards, old No. 38
should have been swimming around
in the "fleecy afterworld of fishes”
at least eight years ago. The nor
mal life expectancy of fish is two or
three years although many do live
to five or over.
Another interesting fact was
learned from the report of this
catch as No. 38 met his end very
near the point of original tagging.
The brown trout had been recap
tured four times after being tagged
by fisheries crews using the “elec
tric shocker.”
Chief Fisheries Management Bi
ologist George Holton pointed out
the value of reports such as this
made by Mr. McMasters. For one
thing, Holton said, it gives records
of fish age and this in turn is an
indication of fishing pressure. It
also indicates the home range of
various species which, in turn, is
used in fish planting practices.
Holton said this is the first report
in several years of a fish being
caught that was among the 2,000
wild trout tagged in the 1949-51
study.

This as the i.rst game of the sea

strong contenders throughout the
season.

Thursday July 4, the team will
travel to Forsyth for a game fol
lowing a Little League game there
the same day. Reczek says the For
syth Babe Ruth nine are rated “the
best in the Eastern section."
The Forsyth team is composed
mostly of former Little League team
members from Forsyth who won
the Eastern section Little League
tournament last fall. Hardin Little
League took third in that tourna
ment. Five of the Hardin team
members were Little League play
ers last year.

Warning Against
Water Dangers
Mav Save Lives
An abundance of water and fine
new boats and motors can provide
some wonderful recreation but it is
a combination for tragedy too. The
statement was made this week by
M. J. Watt, chief law enforcement
officer of the Montana Fish and
Game department, in warning the
public of water dangers.
According to board of health sta
tistics, 50 persons were drowned in
Montana during 1956. eight of these
fatalities being connected wit h
boats. These accidents Included
boats capsizing as a result of a sud
den storm and high winds, over-

We learn a lot about these dif
ferent programs as time goes on. I
just learned a few days ago that
1957 does not start until July Ist
with the state grasshopper program.
The State Attorney General has
informed the State Grasshopper
Committee that the appropriations
which were made for grasshopper
control would not be available un
til July 1, 1957 and included June
30, 1958. The state law does not
allow such appropriations to become
encumbered until before or after
the above mentioned dates.
Therefore, no claims for grass
hopper spraying work done prior to
July 1, 1957, or after June 30, 1958,
can be allowed. Payment for work
done will be made immediately after
the July 7, 1958 deadline.
In other words, any grasshopper
or cricket-spraying that has been
done before July Ist this year, on
crop land or privately owned land
is not eligible to receive any state
payments from the appropriations
that were made in Helena during
the last legislative session.
There is a possibility of three
million acres of land being sprayed
within the state which would cut
the state share of the money to
approximately 31nc per acre. This
would probably be so small that It
would hardly be worthwhile filling

“With fishing well under way in
Montana, there are just as many,
if not more fatalities and accidents
of a serious nature associated with
this sport as with hunting,” Watt
said.
The use of common sense often is
the key to making sports safer. Too
many fishing accidents result from
the improper use of boats and
equipment and the failure of inex
perienced or thoughtless fishermen
to take precautions for their own
and others’ safety, he warned.
out application forms for this mon
ey. At any rate, we will have until
June 30th next year to put in
claims so maybe some spraying
next spring would also qualify.
Anyone Interested in finding out
more details about the formality of
applying for state assistance on
grasshopper and cricket control is
welcome to come into the office and
we will give you what Information
we have at this time.
We would like to remind people
this week that with the Fourth of
July at hand, celebrating is defini
tely in order. We hope that every
one uses good judgment, especially
with fireworks and fire water so
that no serious accidents will take
place. It is suggested that fireworks
be properly handled and where
children are allowed to use them
they should be supervised carefully
by some adult at all times.
Often children are inclined to
hide in barns or empty buildings
and play with fireworks. They may
burn down buildings and in some
cases be the cause of loss of lives.
We feel the same thing is true
with picnickers and hope they take
heed of proper cleaning up of the
picnic ground that they use and
don’t Utter up areas, expecting
someone else to clean up after them.
We hope everyone has a happy
Fourth of July, so that you will be
here to enjoy the Fifth of July with
the people in your community al
though we know that every year the
Ust of fatalities is very large.
While speaking of safety precau
tions. we would like to also warn
people who are spraying insects and
weeds to follow the suggestions
mentioned below. Whether the
sprayer used is a simple hand
sprayer for the garden or a power
sprayer for treatment of growing
crops, the following safety rules
apply:
1. Read and carefully follow the
instructions on the label of the
chemical container.
2. Keep the spray chemical con
tainer tightly closed except when
preparing the spray mix.
3. Wear such protective goggles,
masks and clothing as may be

Excavating for History
Excavations at Fort Owen in the Bitteroot valley near Stevens
ville this summer are expected to yield new knowledge about the
early history of Montana. The work is a cooperative venture and
recalls the place the post held in the early history of western Mon
tana.
The fort was a trading post established by Maj. John Owen on
land purchased- from the Jesuits of St. Mary Mission.
Set up for trade with the Indians the fort soon became a cen
ter of trade for pioneers trekking westward to California and Ore
gon. Goods for the post came from Fort Benton, Fort Walla WaUa,
The Dalles, and from as far west as Fort Vancouver.
Maj. Owen was a sutler and arrived in 1850 in Montana as a •
member of the “Mounted Rifles" to protect traders along the Ore
gon trail He operated the Fort as a trading post for 27 years.
He was born in Pennsylvania in 1818 and died in 1889, the year
Montana became a state.
