In committee of the whole the House
offered n bill that provides for the ac-
Quirement by the state of the beds OF
all streams in which trout exist. Ihe
necessity for the measure was eH'
planned to be that under decision OF
| the Supreme Court owners of lana
along the streams could prevent fishing
in them by refusing to permit fishermen
to enter oil the land. The reason given
| for wishing the streams to be open
was tha, the state provides, at great
expense, for the stocking of all streams
with trout. AS these are grown at the
public expense, 1t was urged there
should be no restraint placed upon
| sportsmen who wish to fish for them

new school law for the state. Inc

to the measure, those supporting 1t be
lleve the recommendations to be made
by the committee will secure its en-
actment.

tel is given the credit for bringing
members of his party step forward,

adopted in the House with few
