neer Buck, employed in building fish WAYS 10
the State. and also in the employ Of the United
States, is in charge there of the United States
hatchery. The government has purchased the
land Oh both sides of the spaw ming brook and
control that. In spawning time last season a
number of land-lOcked salmon were TAKEN and
from them 900 eggs were secured The
fry will he fed until strong and able to escape
the lake sucker and eel, and then this great
number Of salmon will be let 90 there The
process is to be repeated until the lake il
swarming with fish and will be the govern
ment source of supply. In addition the gov
ernment will stock Green Lake with Scotch
trout. The fish laws of Maine will prevail and
citizens can fish usual. Fish and Game
Commissioners Stillwell and Stanley have ju.
risdiction over tine lake. the property of the
State, but should the pOacher element invade
it, special legislation will be asked and then
Uncle Sam will see il he cannot handle this de
structive element. The United States recog.
nizes the value Of Maine waters for fish cul
ture. and with willing and liberal assistance
from the state the fishing could be improved in
