$4,000 TROUT LIBERATED
IN HARDSCRABBLE CREEK

Through the persistent efforts Of
John T. Sanders and E. @. Furniss
for the last three years, $1,000 trout
fry were today liberated in Hard
scrabble creek south Of Florence by
Isaac Sanders. who left here early
this morning and will plant them at
the big beaver dam. There were
eight cans in the shipment and they
came from the new fish hatchery at
Glenwood
The trout are Of the Eastern Brook
variety and are about one inch in
length. These fish grow rapidly and
1t is thought some Of them will be
large enough to catch in about two
years from this season. They arrived
on east bound train No. this morn
ing xnd John 7. Sanders met them at
the train.
While Hardscrabble is dry stream
from Wetmore south during some
parts Of the summer, there is always
plenty Of water above the forks AS
far as known the creek has never been
stocked. There have been fish sent
here for that purpose, but were never
placed. In spite of this fishing was
better there last year than for many
years due to the natural increase
from the native variety.
The daily tribune., 1908-05-13

During the season Of 1910 fishing
should be excellent there. Consider
ing the amount of water In the creek
it is said that more and larger trout
were taken from Hardsorabble last
year than from any nearby stream.
The creek is booming now.
