For the Public Good.

While the improvement of roads and
the building of bridges is being dis
cusscd and materialiZed, it may not be
out OF place to mention the fact that
Lincoln county is placed to a large and
unnecessary expense every year by the
th0ughtless carelessness, or pure Gus.
sedness OF some OF our citizens by the
obstruction Of our waterways with
brush or trees thrown or fallen in the
streams. Report comes from Big Elk
that these conditions are common
there, and the result is, each year some
bridge is either carried away or greatly
damaged by the weight of accumulated
debris, such as logs, fallen trees or
brush
The practice of obstructing the Big
Blk should be stopped-not only be-
cause of the damage done 10 the
bridges, but to the fish hatchery as
well The government has been to big
expense in locating this hatchery for
the benefit of people in common and it is
the duty of every citizen to report to
the fish warden or the county commits.
slouers, any violation of the law, re-
garding the obstruction of waterways.
Following is a little law on the case:
any person or persons who shall
willfuIly, wNntonly or negligently cut,
fall, throw, or place in any running
stream in this state, of sufficient capac-
ity to float any saw log, or logs, or in
any drainage ditch in this state, any
tree, brush, log, or drift, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon conyic-
tion thereof shall be punished by fine
of not less than ten dollars or more
than fifty dollars: Provided always,
that this act shall not apply to saw logs
placed in streams for driving or rafting.

had been following him appeared to be
more alert than before; but. fearing

we were searched, stripped of every

were not questioned at all. and if the
official in charge understood anything
