steadily on. The general government, in
this particular, is accomplishing much

ent states benefited by this useful and ex'
pensivc action to see to 1t, at least, that the
anticipated results are not lost. The most
stringent and practical statutes for the
preservation Of the fish should be enacted
AZ once where meme exist, and those already
