Fisheries Crew Off for Season
The government fisheries station finishes seasonal work as the Curlew is moved to winter quarters at McGregor Iowa. Superintendent R A Clark returns to Manchester Iowa and the entire crew is laid off. Despite gathering thousands of young fish from the Black and Mississippi rivers the season is smaller than 1906 due to water levels and late summer and early fall. The same crews are expected to handle next year’s work.

Railroads prepare for federal nine hour daily cap on telegraph operators starting next March. Lines out of Chicago plan expanded telephone systems, adding poles and wires, to replace some telegraph dispatch work. Schools of telegraphy exist, but training enough operators is doubtful. Some Northwest routes have not acted yet. If telephone use succeeds, many telegraph stations may be eliminated.
