The Hon. VIM. Spry,
Governor of Utah,
Salt Lake.
Dear Sir.--As an angler of the
State, | ask you to enforce that por-
ton of the Fish Law which demands
the screening of all irrigation bitches.
We are spending thousands of dol
lars annually stocking our streams
to no particular advantage as fishing
instead of improving is deteriorating,
due to the fact that the bitches re.
ceive nearly all of them, resulting
sackful or dying when the bitches are
dry.
There are many bitches that COM
pletely shut off the stream proper so
will follow naturally the new
course or in other words the irriga.
ton ditch. In order to prevent this
the bitches should be screened with
quarter inch mesh galvanized wire.
Doing this, in a few years we can
point with just pride to our excellent
fishing streams.
Yours respectfully.

Didn't Care For the Gods.

A Peasant who was driving a cart
along a country road had the misfor
tune to get stalled" In a mudaole
In this emergency he slammed down
his hat. cracked his heels together
and loudly called for Hercules to aid
him. Old Here leisurely appeared
from the nearest cornleld. and when
he saw what the row was he bit OF
a piece of plug and observed:
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
boost her out. The gods help those
who help themselves"
'1ll see you In South America first
replied the Peasant. and he sat down
to wait for the mud to dry up. While
waiting for this event he made 81 on
a dog trade. put up three lightning
rods. sold a washing machine for Sc
and got his board for nothing. At the
end. of four days his old mule walked

ing, and the Peasant figured that he
was about SIG ahead of that commu-
nifty.
