the privilege being granted to the

taken out. These fish were taken from

Black bass, $780, pike, 1896: silver
bass. 5,12S; pickerel, $50; perch, 200;
cat, 500; croppies, 1902.
These coarse fish were taken from
the waters because they were getting
too thick for the game fish to thrive
well and this diminishing of coarse
fish will make more room for the bet
ter fish. 1t is not the desire to do
away entirely with the buffalo and
carp as Mr.. Lincoln holds they do not
cat what game fish eat and they need
only TO be diminished in numbers now
and then to make sufficient room for
their more desirable neighbors, and
rather than infringe on the food sup
ply of the game fish. adds to it, as the
game fish will eat their spawn.
