shinn, state fish and game warden, in
charge of the affair. Before many
months have passed he expects to have
at least 10000, 900 eggs from the red
spotted brook trout in the different fish
hatcheries owned by the state.
At this season of the year the brook
trout leaves the streams and heads in
for the lakes, where they lay their
eggs. Col. Shinn and his force will
search eight of the lakes of the state
to obtain the number of eggs desired
to replenish the streams with "fry"
next spring.
About thirty men will be used on
the expedition. They will be equipped
with various kinds of seines, varying
from fifteen to 100 feet in length. At.
ter seiaing the lakes they will strip
the fish, gather the egss and then
throw the fish back. The eggs will be
shipped to the state hatcheries.-l

No6at county is going at the matter
Of road building in . manner that must
command the respect and ultimate sup
port of state and national governments
and associations. and the Empire has
tens to commend the county commits
sioners for it. OF course, the county is
young and has little to put on the
roads, but good roads enthusiasts can
see that the authorities are doing all
they can to put the main travelled
thoroughfares in passable shape, and
are succeeding admirably. The gov
eminent is building magnificent road
over Rabbit Ear pass, and the natural
and only feasible connection on west
is from Steamboat to Craig, thence to
Maybell and vernal And We predict
Uncle Sam will be taking = hand in
this very thing before long, after notie-
ing how MofHat county is pushing
along Governments are very much
like the Lord-inclined to help those
who help themselves.-Craig Courier.
Parcel Rost 0UsAs
Craig people have been shipping po-
tatoes by parcel post recently and some
whackers have gone to relatives back
east. It reminds us that some time
back a prominent Moffat county ranch
man went for a visit to his former
home in the east and in telling about
the wonderful crops raised here he es-
tablished himself as full fledged An
nanias. It got so that when he began
to talk the neighbors would begin to
wink and grin and he came away dis
gusted At Rifle on his way home he
saw giant potato about IA inches long
and plenty heavy. He expressed it co..
lect to one of the most radical unbe-
levers and now that Moffat county
man is classed up alongside of George
Washington for veracity in that partic-
ular neighborhood It is good thing
sometimes to "show' people.-Moffat
County Courier.
Trappers in this vicinity might be
interested to know that there are many |
bears over toward the Plateau valley. |,
lust across the Garfield Mesa line. f.
NJ. Dighton, who was here last week |
and who has cattle on the range there, |
stated he and his partners lost as high |
as 30 head last summer. Most were
calves, but in some cases yearlings
were slaughtered. They are Offering |
q bounty Of $50 for each bear killed,
and this, added to what they expect
the county to offer, will make = neat |
sum for each one destroyed. Then the
hide and meat are worth considerable |
at this time Of year.-Garfield County
