Hayden Lake Tributaries.

Hon. l.. T. Carleton and Hon. Chas.
f. Oak were in town, Saturday, and
gave hearing at Hotel Heselton, on the
petition of X. b. Shepherd, Lewis
Anderson, f. F. Danforth, W. II. Wildes,
A. g. Blunt, James Fellows, A. H.
Lang, {, A. Ross, J. A Dealey, {. 2.
Sawyer and J. p. Oak that taking of fish
from the tributaries of Hayden Lake,
the breeding grounds for trout and land
locked salmon, be prohibited fora term
of years, also that some restriction be
placed upon fishing in said lake.
Gen. Shepherd, j. p. Oak, A. G.
Blunt, Geo. b. Fairgreves of Skowhe-
gan and l.. l.. Nitham of East Madison,
appeared for the petitioners and ex-
planned the situation at the lake. These
gentlemen stated that protection of the
fish in these inlets, the spawning
grounds, was absolutely necessary TO the
proper stocking of the lake with desir-
able fish. 1t is impossible to protect the
trout and landlocked salmon unless it is
done.
The restriction of fishing in the lake
itself was intended, they stated To apply
only to the making of a business of fish
ing as was done by certain parties last
year, as they claimed to an ex-
tent that was detrment to fish in the
lake. They had no intention To ask for
a regulation that would prevent fishing
to any reasonable extent. A paper in
the nature of a remOnstrance signed by
Fred Russell and about 40 others was
presented, but this was against the
prohibiting of fishing in the lake and
stated 1--WE do not object SO much about
a restriction being pnt on the streams
The commissioners readily agreed To
| grant the first part of the petition and
will order that fishing be prohibited in
all the inlets of Hayden Lake for a
period of years under the usual penal
ties. They also will recommend To
Governor Powers the appointment of
Eugene Lawrence and l.. l.. Whitman
as wardens to look after the enforce.
ment of law in that vicinity.
| Chairman Carleton of the board stated
that the restricting of fishing in the lake
itself was difficult matter. The law
now provides that no man can take over
- pounds of fish at one time, that ne
man has a right to use dip net to cap
ture small fish for bait as it is alleged
had been done, further than this le-
strctions were attended with difficulty
They would see how the prohibiting oi
fishing in the lnlets work, and later
might see what could be done to remedy
slaughter of fish if it was continued Is
heretofore.
The commissioners are in earnest It
do everything in their power to con.
tribute to the stocking of the waters oi

took them home to her. Before she had
taken all of the first box we noticed a
change for the better.
"She gained strength daily.
EVERY one noticed the change; !
bought two more boxes. When she had
taken them she was strong enough to
leave her bed, and In less than SIX months
was something like herself.
"To-day she is entirely cured, and is a
big, strong, healthy girl, weighing 100
pounds, and has never had sick day
since.
az know DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved
my daughters life and am glad to re-
commend them to the world"
To further verify this statement Mr..
Trout made affidavit to its truthfulness
before Robert E. Hull, IT,, Notary Public.
The last decade Of the nineteenth cen
tury has been marked by some Of the
most important discoveries in the history
of the world. None have done more to
benefit mankind than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Some of the cures
effected by this wonderful remedy almost
equal the miracles of old. Diseases long
supposed incurable have succumbed to
their potency. The paralyzed have
walked; the weak and ailing have
stepped from their beds we'll and strong.
The evidence is irrefutable. The fact
stands supreme that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are the greatest blessing ever bestowed
on suffering humanity.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists throughout the land.
