plies Golden Trout. He has saved the Roose-
welt Golden Trout, product of the west, from
extinction. This rare fish is known as the
most toothsome morsel which the finny realm
holds forth as the trophy of the rod and reel.
The Roosevelt Golden Trout is the gamest
and showiest species of trout in the United
States and if promises of the United States
fish commission to be believed, this spe-
cies will be angled for in hundreds Of streams
in the country within few years.
Some time ago President Roosevelt stirred
the fish commission into action when he told
It's members that the Roosevelt Golden Trout
was threatened with extinction
Tho tall minds of that august body at once
set about to find out what the Roosevelt Gold

Mount Whitney, Cal.
Several of the fish were captured alive and
put in great tanks in Bozeman, Mont. and
Leadville, Col, to hatch eggs. This they did
prescribed by the fish cultural stations.
Just the other day word came from those
stations that a sufficient quantity of eggs had
been secured to stock streams in which trout
to be found, in every part of the United
States Upwards Of a million eggs were propa-
gated and soon these will be planted through
out the United States.
Hence in few years the present-day Izaak
Walton who passes his summers angling for
trout and catching old shoes, tin and the
like, will occasionally be rewarded by feeling

Trout at his hook If the fish nibbles strong

This rare fish was appropriately named the

because Of the chief executives strenuous and

AS stated above, the only place where it is to

It was not an easy job for the fish commits

The Roosevelt Golden Trout is essentially
a trout, but instead of the conventional gray
and white of the average trout in fresh streams
and lakes, its sides streaked with beauti-

surrounding water and makes the fish visible

learned that the Golden Trout
which has been given his
name was in danger Of eXter-

a toothsome bite, and the pres
ident at once took steps
which resulted in measures Of
preservation by the bureau
of fisheries. President Roose-

years ago that his acquaint-

him to save this finny crea-
ture, the most beautiful and
delicious member OF the fish
tribe. Presidential proclama-

government forest reserve,
which saved it from the in
roads Of fishermen. At that
time Volcano creek was far
removed from human habita-
ton and declared to be almost
inaccessible TO all but the
knowing ones.
Despite this fact the friends

lore visited Volcano creek and

There are no accurate statistics of the native

it is increasing and to infer that the an

at first IL was almost impossible to gather
any OF these fish in order to install them in
the cultural stations at Leadville, Col, and
Bozeman, Mont, but finally We delegated
several guides of the Mount Whitney region
to go out and use their utmost energies to-
wards capturing the fish. Upon the promise
of substantial sums they did this and we were
able to secure several beautiful specimens.
These we Immediately hustled away in
large tanks in order that the fish might not
die and they were then placed in larger tanks
with water containing chemical preparations
and allowed to propagate. Soon our efforts
began to derive fruit and have prob
ably the finest outlay of eggs which We ever
secured in an effort of this kind. We may be
