er J. w. Titcomb, and Assistant Ed

the fish in Silver Lake preparatory
to stocking the water with trout
This lake IS acres in extent, is a
natural trout water, but the pick
erel and pike perch had been in
trOduced and completely extermin-
ated them. People having summer
cottages about the pond and citi-
zens of neighbOring towns, wanted
the trout again, and arranged with
Mr.. Titcomb to have the tish killed,
they contributing a part of the mon
ey necessary for the work.
They first drew the water in the
lake down IA feet. Then the COM
missioner gave them permission to
use nets and set lines to catch as
many fish as possible and some fine
specimens of perch were secured.
Then 2700 pounds of blue vitriol
were secured and local people vol
unteered to help get it into the lake
Boats had a bag of the poison at
tached in the rear and rowed back
and forth across the lake in squad
rons. 1t took eight hours to dis
solve the poison in the water and
about "a hours later the fish rose
to the surface dead. Probably
large number of trout tingerlings
will be planted there this fall.
