which has the reputation of being the
best trout fishing lake in this section,
has made lease of his property, located
about seven miles east of Usk, to VIM.
Kerstlne and O.. Broadwell. of Usk.
During the past year there have been
many fishing parties visiting the lake,
and some of them have resorted to the
use of dynamite. with much resulting
damage to property. Mr.. King has al.
ways been very liberal in extending the
fishing privilege and his liberality has
met with poor return. He announces

deputy game warden, will be at the lake

necessary to get a permit from him be-
fore fishing will be allowed. No fishing
whatever will be allowed until after May
20, as the trout are still spawning.
