Fishing 10 going to be unusually
good along the lines of the Denver 4
Rio Grande railroad in tine next two or
three years. 1t Is good every summer,
because for some years past the
streams have been systematically
stocked all over the state, but 1t il
bound to be better. More was done in
that direction in 1905 than e-er be-
fore. Mai. 8. X. Hooper has been hav-
ing some figures made showing the
number Of fish put out. In the year
1904 the road transported and helped
place 6,328,00O young trout in the
streams. OF these 3,93O,0 came from
the state hatchery.
Last year the Denver 4 Rio Grande
distributed 1856. 900 young fish In Col
orado and Utah. OF these 1885,, 900
came from the state hatcheries and L..
70z, 900 came from the government
hatchery at Leadville. The fish are
put in when about two inches long and
big enough to care for themselves.
They were about equally divided as
between native, brook and rainbow
trout. The distribution in the streams
