State schemes mix fish and borders with new Fort Smith plan
White fish from Lake Michigan are sent to interior New York lakes hoping to boost inland stocks. A proposed shift would detach western Arkansas counties to join Indian Territory and create a new state with Fort Smith as capital. Michigan peaches look strong this season and Eastern Shore crops promise abundance. Bishop Whitehouse’s Chicago residence upgrades cost 25 000 dollars.
