However, let us all look at this most
important question In a broad-minded
liberal way. When this country was
first discovered all Of our streams were
stocked to the limit with our mountain
trout, but they were discovered by man
and most numerically slaughtered for
food and gain. Natural trout-producing
streams and rivers throughout Utah
and the west have forever passed away.
A limited supply will perhaps always
remain. but without vigorous artificial
help the people will be forced to say
goodbye to the most perfect and high
est order of fish that swim In our riv-
ers and streams In the inland water, the
trout
II is also true that civilization and
the settlement Of the country always
destroys the productiveness Of rivers
that have been the haunts Of fish. This
Is true In part only. If the proper ef-
fort be not put forth 20 protect fish and
propagate them. it is wholly true. The
hog. OK. sheep, and every form Of life
that lie now a blessing to man would
have been extinct centuries ago had not
the efforts been put forth TO save them
by carefully guarding and protecting
the young Of these animals until they
were large and old enough to care in
the main for themselves; and also in
view of the fact that now our trout have
more numerous enemies In the form OF
vicious. worthless fish, that have been
planted In our streams, which are tax
ing prey upon the spawn and the young
fry. This whole question becomes
simpiifled and reduced 10 & workable
basis when the facts are known.
Plant Too Young.
It is almost daily occurrence TO
read Of vast amounts Of trout fry being
distributed throughout Utah and the
various states. To the fishing and sport
ing elements and all others interested,
we may well ask the question, Are we
doing justice to the helpless little trout
fry by placing him into our swift, mud
dy rivers in the springtime TO fight his
battle for existence in the watery ele-
ments in which there is no mercy? Are
we doing justice to this helpless little
creature in his fight for the survival Of
the flttest doctrine?
First-To place young trout fry less
than six inches long into our public wa
ter In the springtime, when our rivers
are a sea Of mud up to their banks, is
criminally wrong.
Second-Fifty per cent are merely fish
food for the larger fish.
Third-It also stands to reason that
the scarcity of his natural food. which
consists of insects, fresh water shrimps,
bugs and various crustacea are not
found as abundantly at this time OF the
year, especially when our rivers are

STARTS ON
THE BIG FIGHT
Jeffries Starts Favorite at Ten to
Seven-0ne Good Bet
Made,

New York, Apr. 23-Betting on the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight started in earnest here
last night, with the deposit of 5000
against 81 400 that the former champion
would defeat the negro on July 4. There
had been some wagering before this bet
was made, of course, but the posting or
So 400 was the first real evidence that odds
were going to favor Jeffries for some
time to come.
Clarence Berry Of Los Angeles. at one
time a prominent Klondike miner and
now interested in the oil fields of Cali
fornia, stated that he had S25O,OO0 to bet
on Jeffries at any price that was rea-
sonable. Charles Sutro, stock broker
of San Francisco. quickly took 5000 Of
T. at odds of to 10, and then announced
that he would have as much more TO
bet on the negro before the fight.
Jack Gleason, enc Of the promoters OF
the fight, said when he was here that the
odds of 7 TO 10 in favor Of Jeffries We're
first established in the San francisco
pooI rooms about a fortnight ago. Glea-
son said that he looked for these ODDS to
remain stationary for at least a month
more with possibly a slight shortening
when Johnson commenced active training
on May ! at Seal Rock House In San
Francisco. After that ne said, he would
not be surprised If the figures showed
Jeffries a favorite at 70 10. with either
to 10 or even money prevailing on the
day OF the fight.
Almost all the wise money, Gleason
added, was now being placed on John
SON. The basis Of this was. Of course,
Jeffries' long retirement, which was fig
ursd by many as injurious to his chances
OF regaining perfect form. Sentiment un-
doubtedly favored Jeffries, he stated.
and almost every white man in the coun-
try hoped that the former champion would
win. But desire was not influencing bet
ting to any great extent, was his further
comment, and to the wise ones" it was
simply a question of Jeffries getting back
into first-class condition.

high and muddy, and being accustomed
to his artificial feeding he naturally
drifts into the various side channels,
sloughs and tributaries in search OF lis
natural food, and becomes land-locked
and when the water recedes destruction
is complete, or else he falls a prey for
the larger fish who are In constant wait
for him. We desire that our young
trout fry shall have more protection,
and not be deposited at such a young
age. regardless Of results. The only
condition that there is in a swift stream
Of muddy water for protection must go
hand IN hand with propagation, one
from the other, for alone either is abst-
lutely worthless. This question has be-
come a more serious problem year after
year in our artificial propagation Of the
trout, and other species OF salmonldae.
All the hatcheries IN Christendom can
not pass these young fish through this
great slaughter pen to maturity. Let
US turn our whole attention to the well
fare Of the fish themselves.
Legislation Needed.
The legislation needed should provide
for ample Matching and feeding Of the
young fry until they are old enough to
scrap for themselves. and TO be held

season than 1000 little pinheads thrown

orally fulfilling the adage, 1.-THE big
fish eat up the little fellows"
In the fall Of the year fishermen are
not as numerous. It Is farcical to take
thousands OF eggs In the fall Of the
year, and at an enormous expense Of
taking care Of them during the winter
months, and deliberately throwing the
fry away into a torrent OF water IN the
spring.
Late in the fall Of the year fishermen
are not as abundant on our mountain
streams. and this fact alone carries
some weight. as II assists and protects
a siX-inch fish planted In the stream
until the opening of fishing IN the fol-
lowing summer. He is then a Iaw-size
fish. Any fisherman knows how per-
sistent these young trout are about bit
ing on a hook, and instead Of making a
crack-of-the-whip affair out OF him, or
else breaking his neck, and with a curse
throwing him back into the stream aft
er he has been vitality hooked. is abso-
lutely fOolishness. One IN twenty-five
usually lives.
All the arguments that can be made
for the planting Of these small fish into
our public waters can be made against
II, and more.

sincerity and hard work Of no one in
dlvidual or set of officials higher up,
but to the players themselves. Getting
back to superstitions, reminds me
did you ever observe the conduct of a
pitcher after he had broken one Of his
shoe laces?
Not for the world could you induce
the average major league pitcher TO re-
sumo work with a new shoe lace He
will tie up the remnants and go ahead,
hoping 70 mako the laces last through
out the season. The players don't want
the bat boys to hand them their clubs,
either. Out on the West Side grounds,
of course, RED Gallagher. the bat boy,
has a sort of standing Job swinging
the sticks. but he always tries hard to
drive away the hoodoo. Watch him
salivate the handle of every bat before
IL goes into the hands of its owner.
The player, however. prefers TO pick
up hts own bat rather than have any
assistance from the club attaches.
Tinker Has His.
Keep your eyes glued on Tinker
when he goes to bat. Joe has a habit
of walking straight from the bench
to the plate for the first time up
If he gets a clean hit that time he'll
repeat on the second trip. But If he
fans or fouls out or is tossed to death
on an infield drive, Tinker certainly
will waltz out in a circle, going back
of the plate. This way he hopes TO
break the hoodoo. The catchers of the
various clubs have a great horror of
lOaning their big mitts to any other
members of the club. It's all right TO
loan the old gIove-the one used In
practice, but nix on the mitt that serves
each day in the championship games.
That's a bad sign. according to the
