POTOSI.
The death knell to the seining in
dustry is being sounded and the
real sportsmen will henceforth have
a long inning, and the old time inn
plements, the rod, hook and line
with an enticing bait, combined
with little skill unless the omen
Of fisherman's luck be your LOTT
will be the lawful and only safe
way of making a catch. No real
sportsman would be guilty of resort
ing to any other means than the
hook and line to catch mess OF
fish, and the game hogs who have
been seining our lakes and ponds
for personal gain will be watched
and if caught will be dealt with as
the law provides. A list is being
circulated to raise funds the pro-
ceeds of which will be used to snag
various ponds and lakes in this vi
cinity so as to make seining impos
sible. Dubuquers have been very
active in this work even to invading
our nearby lakes to which we offer
no objection for we will be benefit
ted quite as much as they. Next a
league should be formed in every
village and city and in rural dis
tricts as well with the sole object OF
prosecuting and bringing to justice
these game hogs and thus the prob
lem would be solved and our lakes
and streams will again swarm with
game fish of various kinds and at
ford pleasure and sport for all alike.
