spawn were eaten by the hog fish until
it was feared they would soon be no
more.
The carp multiplied until III some
sections they so filled the streams that
water foul would not live there and III
irfigating it was not uncommon to see
hundreds of carp Topping about on a
field. They were hardly fit to eat and
besides being worthless, they were doing
serious damage. Then the natural ques-
ton: How shall we rid the stream of
the carp?' No satisfactory answer came
and the sluggish hog fish seemed des-
tined to assume absolute sway. Some
OF the radicals suggested the pollution
and poisoning of the water until every
fish was dead and then to restock with
trout spawn. Others suggested the..gafny
German pike, which would drive the
carp into sloughs in the spring time
where they would die when the water
receded in the summer. This was even
tried but without success, as pike
which were planted did not seem to
! thrive.
! But kind nature now seems to be COM
! ing to the rescue. Her laws were vio-
suffer the consequence she has become
compassionate and the carp may be
doomed. The increase precipitation OF
the past few years and the consequent
abundance of clear cold mountain water
which empties into the Humboldt, Is
not to the nature of the hog fish. The
muddy, stagnant pool is more to his
liking. He is engrating and has been
for two years, moving from the clear
cold headwaters at least.
1 While we are as yet by no means rid
of him in this section, we see him going
and few more years like the past may
mark his exunt.
That his spawn is not thriving is EVIL
denced by the fact that hardly a small
carp is to be seen.
And if kind nature rids the head
waters of the Humboldt of this blight it
will follow that the whole stream will
finally be rid of it. God speed the day.
And the native trout : the speckled
beauties of which we SO loved to boast,
the equal of which are not found in any
stream of the world they are thriving
again and this year are more plentiful
than for a decade past.
If compassionate nature has set about
to accomplish that which man failed i'll,
we will all give reverend thanks, and
promise that if ever fool attempts to
again stock the Humboldt with carp,
we will drown him in a muddy slough
where hog FISH will suck his body until
naught is left but his worthless bones.
