Mr.. Knudsen. In my opinion. it WAS
/ the most notable gathering of theoso-
I phists that ever took place in the United
/ States. This was largely due to tie

Leadbetter of England the celebra tea

While the new game and fish law is
/ claimed to be unconstitutional in GER
| tain respects, it appears that none Of
| the marketmen is eager enough to test
! it to risk a prosecution. Several have
! threatened to put trout on sale, but
making threats is as far as they have

The law is being generally Observed
said Henry Aware, deputy fish AMI
game warden for this district, who re-
Gently returned from a trip through
Madison and Beaverhead counties, post
! ing notices of warning against violations
OF the new law. 1T is provided in the
| law that certain clauses prohibiting the
catching OF trout and their sale shall!
not apply to private ponds. and that
persons shall not be prohibited from
| transferring trout from one stream to
another. The law is alleged to be con-
Trajectory because it is provided else-
where that any dealer exposing trout for
sale, no matter how or where caught.
shall be punished.
THE Idaho fish law is identical with
that of this state, excepting the sale
clause, and to evade it's provisions fish,
ermen have built private ponds by the
side of Henry's lake only a narrow en-
bankment separating them. Fish are
transferred from the lake to the private
pond with nets and seines, and from the
pond to the market"
