NINE YEARS WILL SEE
STREAMS FULL OF TROUT

Plans are well under way lead
ing to the complete restocking Of
all trout streams and lakes through
out the national forests of Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and South Dako
within a period of nine years. A
cooperative arrangement has been
made between the bureau of fish
cries and the forest service where
by the former agrees to furnish the
necessary fish fry for distribution
to the various forests. The plant
ing of all fry will be performed by
forest officers with view of max
ing the most effective distribution
and of keeping close check on tho
results of the work.
1t is estimated that approximate
ly twenty million trout fry of the
brook, rainbow and blackspotted
varieties will be needed to meet
the requirements of all the waters
adaptable TO the production of
trout, Of which number the bureau
is prepared to supply something
over four and half million this
year and a gradually decreasing
number each successive year for
total of nine, at the end of which
time it is expected that the COM
plete restocking will have been ac-
complished.

change and include the Terrace
reservoir territory if a sufficient
number of subscribers can be OBJ
tanned to Justify. Some conces-
sions were made in the east and
south parts of the valley.
So, then, dear people, do you
want to build a plant and system
similar to the Mountain States
company's at Monte Vista, Center
and Del Norte, at cost of $4,000
(taking the company's tigures) or
do you consider the lease PROPOSE
ton favorable and the solution
of our difficulties? 1t don't look
good to us.
1t seems to be the prevailing
opinion that the communities and
towns of Center, Del Norte and
Monte Vista and the territory en-
braced by these should have com
mon telephone service at reason
able fiat rates, and this cannot be
secured from the Mountain States
company, by lease or otherwise. A
great many have not been con-
WINGED that it is impracticable to
build such a system by private en-
terprise.
