Fish Hatchery to Be Established in Indiana.

The fishermen of Indiana will be pleased to know that Congressman Barnhart has succeeded in having a bill favorably reported to establish a great fishery in the state. It will cost twenty-five thousand dollars and be devoted exclusively to hatching fish for waters like the lakes and streams of Indiana. Dr. Everman of the bureau of fisheries advised the committee on fish hatcheries that the Indiana waters are not excelled in the country for fish growing possibilities, and he speaks from observation, as he has surveyed a number of lakes and rivers in Indiana for the purpose of securing fish growing data. At the present' time Indiana gets its supply of government hatched fish from Put-in-Bay,. Ohio, this being the only lake and river fish hatchery within several hundred miles of Indiana.
