Fish For Dry Fork.

The Missouri State Fish Commits
sioners Saturday unloaded a car load Of
fish in Dry Fork south Of Jasper. This
makes three car loads in two years that
have been dumped into Dry Fork.
This has causes the Carthage Democ-
rat to make the inquiry as to why Dry
Fork has been 80 much favored while
Center Crock and Srring river have rot
received y fish. notwithstanding either is
larger stream than Dry Fork.
The reason given is that as there are
dams 10 Center Creak and Spring river
and no fish chutes as the law requires
to enable the fish to GO up stream, tho
state authorities refurse to put fish in
these streams. ..
The loss to the people Of Carthage,
the other cities aud towns along these
streams, and the people Of Spring river
and Center Creek valleys, is very large
one, for II a fish chutes the law requies
we're built at these dams each stream
would get at least u car load Of fish =
year aud perhaps two or three.
