along and STOPPING down licked up bis email

There Seems to have been considerable

terially better their financial condition.

| The Fish Commissioners appear to have
turned their attention some hat to Inc
work Of stocking come Of the beautiful
ponds Of Afoostook county. The Star
Herald says that some time ago . petition,
| sigbei by quite . number Of our people
sas forwarded to Commissioner Stiiweil.
asking that some steps might be taken
toward stocking Squaw Pan Lake. A
| description Of the lake vas written Mr..
Stilwell and he was convinced that the
pond vas we'll adapted to the work Of ASh
culture. He promised to furnish . suitable
number of fry for the lake, provided they
should be delivered to responsible parties
ct Vsnceboro, Who would see that they
we're safely deposited in the lake. and then
properly looked after. The matter vas
subsequently brought up in the Presque
Isle Board Of Trade, and . COM
miitee vas appointed to perfect the or
sanization Of an association to be known
- the Squav Pan Fish and Game
Association, upon whom should
devolve the care and prote ction Of the young
6sh, and proper attention to all other neces-
sary details connected with the enterprise.
Quite recently Mr.. Erwin has re-
ceived letter from Commissioner Stilwell,
say ing: I'VE shall be able to send you
enough Of the young salmon if you can die
tribute them care fully in small brooks trib
utary to the lake. and We will give you
timely notice to meet US at Vsnceboro.' "
From this it 10 evident that this beautiful
lake will soon be furnished with fish fry.
and IL the experiment should prove . suc-
cess there. other lakes in the country will
doubtless be stocked in Q similar manner.
