The United States fish commissioner has
represented that land locked salmon and
steel head and rainbow trout would take
care of themselves, as against the bass
species now in Crystal Lake, but has re-
quired that the outlet be screened as con-
dition of stocking with these desirable
fish. This has been done, and facilities for
hosting and cleaning the screens will be
added. In the mean time public spirited
citizens of this locality will be called upon
to help meet the expense of these improve
ments from which much good is hoped to
be derived. The matter is in charge of a
committee of three, W. W. Miles, c. w
Tenney and w. r. Aldrich.

ne Saturday Barton began her footbs
season with what all Barton supporte
,ir should consider victory. 1t was beyor
Y our expectation that Barton could W
O. from team that displayed such unity
C. organization in attack and defense as d
ay Lyndon. The tie score appears all t.
II. more commendable when we take in
m consideration the fact that this was Il
". initiatory game for the home team. T
ns visitors played fast, clean football. It is
satisfaction to know that Barton has
- worthy an opponent in what promises
- be the critical game in the tri- -scholast
