The promoters of the new lake resort near Wawasee have sarranged with the state fish counnissiouers to seine the small lakes before the big dam is closed.

The work will be done under the direction of a game warden and all of the bass and other game fish will be returned to the water, Several local fisherman will go out to see the work done.

Benjamin 1.. Boyer, a Whitley county farmer, who lives in &8 township where the schools have been consolibated, insisted that the trustee must drive up to his door, get his children and takeé them to school. Boyer lived a hall mile from the main route of the wagon and the trutsee insisted that the children must walk to the corper and be picked up. A lawver who doubtless saw a fee, told Boyer to sue the trustee, which he did and last Satarday Judge Wrigley upheld the trustee That is according to a recent decision of the supreme court.

Under a new arrangement over in Whitley county the owners of nets are being registered and the fellows are arrangiog to deliver them to the authorities providm%: they will be allowed to use them for the capture of cisco or lake white fish during the winter. So far at least ten big nets have been turned over and it is said that there are others yet to follow. This might be a good idea for Noble county and should be adopted. Ifit is not done the Whitley county fisherman will be able to take all of our white fish for no net can be used unless it is registered Hon.Jos. W. Adair is at the head of the organization and many well known sportsmen are members.
