A Strong Denial Of Statement
To The Blackfoot Optimist:


Chief Deputy Stevens Of the Fish
and Game Department, while in the
city Sunday and Monday. informed tn
writer that all the talk in this Sec
ton of the country, and the news
paper articles regarding the taking Of
eggs and spawn in the North Fork
for the year 1913 is all wrong, and
the reports are without foundation.
That the native "spauners'' viii not
be stripped in the Island Park coun.
try, but that all those waters are to
be stocked this spring, Mr.. Stevens
is quoted as saying that "the people
who circulated the reports as to his
activity in getting ready to ship the
spauners to stock the Warm River
Hatchery, are entirely ignorant Of the
situation and are only chasing a
myth"
Eggs for Matching will be, and are
being procured in other localities.

Deputy Game Warden.
