The Government Fish Commits

interested in placing salmon and
other valuable fish in our rivers,
and now that our streams are well
filed with them many people,
(ishermen) are going after them by
shooting and dynamiting, killing
them by the thousand. This should
not be allowed, and there ought to
be some law passed to prevent such
wholesale slaughter, otherwise there
will be no fish left in our waters.

to think it over, and then went to
see all of her married sisters One,
who used TO be a belle, had three
children, did all her own work, and
hadn't been TO the theatre, or out
riding since she was married. The
second, whose husband was prom
