UNDERSTANDING NEEDED.
The principal water area Of Rich
county is comprised IN Bear Lake
which is partly In Utah and partly in
Idaho. the east and west boundary line
OF the two States dividing the lake in
about equal proportions. Any stocking
of the water Of this lake Is therefore OF
as much benefit 20 one state as the
other. and until some mutual arrange
mcnt can be made with the iish ana
game commission of Idaho for the
stocking of Bear Lake. Il does not look
quite right that Utah should do all the
stocking. Utah was quite generous
about four years ago In this respect.
when the Legislature appropriated $500
10 stock an the suitable waters IN the
State with large-mOuth black bass from
Utah Lake. Bear Lake received very
large percentage OF the FISH distributed,
and enough 70 stock the entire lake
thoroughly well II properly protected.
The north half Of the lake however
which Is I'm Idaho, Is much better
adapted for the black bass than is the
Utah half, and although most Of the
paintings were made i'm the Utah end OF
the lake IL Is probable that the bass
will find those places In the lake which
suit their habits best, and these places
being mostly IN the north end Of the
lake. Idaho will be benefited from the
stocking with bass boy Utah as much
II not more than Utah herself II Is TO
be hoped that some mutual arrange
ment can be made In the near future
between the two states whereby this
magnificent lake can be Kept replen-
lshed with the best varieties Of fish,
and the laws properly enforced for
their protection.
