Long and his successor can put in in fiy
years. In looking over Longs pretentiou
morocco-bound. gilt-edged report we fin
that Sedgwick county has never been hor
ored with Mr.. Longs attention but once i
all his official existence as fish planter. Iii
report says he sent Mr.. Hellar, Of this city
twenty fish at one time. Whether they wer
only eggs, or really live minnows. tadpoles
or gold fish, Mr.. HelIar has never informe,
us. The boys say the crawfsh arc unusual
thick this spring. We would like to bea
what Mr.. Hellar has done with his yaluabl
trust. In the meantime we suggest that tn
Legislature either abolish the Office Of 6sl
commissioner or else pass law TO protec
| what fish we already have.

lately any thing OF the herd of Guernseys
