Kicking on the Geese.

THE TINES has been asked by nu-
merous readers to publish an article
relative to the tame geese and ducks
that now infest the waters OF Fan
cher lake at the fair grounds. 1t Is
said they are causing much annoy
ance to those who want to fish or
swim in the waters, and charges OF
destroying the first spawn ana de-
pIeting the stock of the fnny tribe are
repeatedly made. There is great
deal of truth in the statements made
and II is to be hoped that the matter
viii be investigated and II found true,
that the owner will take the right
view of the matter and not make
duck pond out of one of the prettiest
little lakes in the country, besides
spelling the recreation and pleasure
OF those who use the waters for swim
ming and fishing.
