Fish and Game Officials Declare that
IrIigar ion Companies AIuct
Comply with Law.

Ben r. Gray. state game and fish
warden. and his five deputies for the
southern part of the state. held
conference in Boise last Monday. at
which the fish and game laws were
cussed in general, and two sections
of the law in particular. One was ESQ
ton IS, in relation to the maintain
ing of screens in irrigation bitches
and another section which provides
for the maintaining or fish ways in
all dams in the streames of the state.
These provisions were in the old
law, as well as the new" said War
den Gray in talking to a Statesman
representative regarding the confer
enc. but thy have not been en-
forced. Now it is proposed to enforce
them in connem with all the other
laws relating to the fish and game of
the state. The deputies in the meeting
today were instructed go abou thru
their respective districts and notify
every irrigating company and the
owner Of every dam to observe these
provisions. If. after due notice, they
refuse or neglect to carry out these
plain provisions of the statute it will
be necessary to prosecute them.
"The absolute need of screens in
the irrigation bitches is recognized
everywhere. Without the screens
front enter the canals; from there
they pass on to the laterals and
diches, and when the water is ctu
off they perish in great numbers out
in the alfalfa fields. They work their
way out into the fields when the ir-
rigation streams are full. When the
water is cut off they are helpless and
there is nothing for them but to per-
ish.
DFishways in the dams of the
streams are just as important as the
screens in the irrigation bitches. The
front go up to the heaiwaters of the
streams every spring to spawn. If no
provision is made for them to pass
the dams the spawning is Destroyer
and the supply of fish will naturally
socn die out. If the trout of the state
is not to become extinct bob of these
provisions mus be enforced. Hereto
fore they have not been enforced and
the state has suffered great loss as a
result"
