Another Visit from the Fish
Commissioner.

SALMON PUT IN MIDDLE RIVER ABOVE
BowLING's DAM--AND IN SOUTH RIVER
AND PERCH IN THE FAIR GROUND.
Col Marshall Mcdonald, the Virginia
Fish Commissioner, is now at the hatche-
ry near Wytheville. which is operated by
the U. s. Fish Commissioner with which
Col. Med is associated.
Some of the previous distributions of
young fish In the Valley streams not turn
ing cut as well as desired, an earlier plant
ing than the fall, considered the best
time, will now be tested. It has been sup
posed that fall transfer from the hatch
cry to the streams did not afford time suf-
fcient for the young fish to secure good
supply of winter food, hence the visit of a
regularly equipped railroad car of the U.
S. Fish Commission which arrived in
Stanton Wednesday afternoon by G. &
0. BY. under the care Of Mr.. George FL.
II. Moore of the Commission.
Leaving the hatchery near Wytheville
Wednesday morning, Mr. Moore supplied
Colonel Parsons at the Natural Bridge
| with California and Lake trout fer his
ponds on his way down. and at the
Waynesbero junction sent forward by the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad five hundred
trout which were placed in South Rivel
at WeYer's Cave station. Wednesday
| night he sent down by special conveyance
I two Thousand salmon, which were placed
in Middle River at Mr.. Andrew Bowling's
mill above the dam. He also furnished
Colonel VIM. L. Bumgardner, our Coun.
ty Commissioner, a supply of Red-eye
perch for the Fair ground lake. The sal
mon that were put above the Bowling
dam, will, it is belieyed, be safe from the
black bass who infest that river below the
dam. The bass got into Middle River
several years ago when flood broke the
Fair ground pond and allowed them to es.
cape to the river via. Lewis creek. Since
they reached there they have multiplied
and deprecated On all other fish.
Several of our citizens called on Mr.
Moore and found him an enthusiast in his
good work. The car returned to the
hatchery at Wytheville yesterday.
