OBsTRUCTING THE RIVER

a Dam i'll the Upper Sacramento
Which Should Be Removed.
The attention of the Fish Commission.
ers is called to the fact that lumber
company having a sawmill on the bank
OF the Sacramento River near Lower
Soda Springs, Shasta County, has dam
across the river at that point, which is
said to obstruct the passage Of trout and
salmon up that stream.
This probably accounts for the fact that
trout-tishing is good below the dam, and
poor above it. An old resident of that
locality informs the RECORD UNION that
there has not been a salmon seen this sea
son beyond the dam, while there are
numbers below it,
The Fish Commissioners should pive
this matter their early attention. As LARGE
numbers of anglers seek the headwatnrs
OF the Sacramento River during the sum
mer months who have no knowledge OF
the existence OF the dam in question. The
company maintaining the dam is known
as the Anderson Company.
