CLEAR YOUR STREAMS.

Troxelville, Pa, Dec. 4, 1895
Ed. PosT.-If your Fish Protective
Association does not succeed any
better than the fish commissioner
have, then / say a man is n fool to
put any money into it. What is the
use in stocking our streams with
fish when we have right here two
different parties who are piling saw
dust in the tributary streams and
killing the fish as fast as you can put
them in. L wrote to Mr.. House
werth about this but nothing has
been done. |, too, am interested in
the fish business and would put my
mite into it as quickly as the next
man, but as long as persons are per-
mitted to contaminate the streams,
l will not put penny into it. If
you don't believe what 1 say, then
come up here aud SEQ for yourself.
A man might as well throw away his
money as to buy fish to stock the
streams under such circumstances.
