Considerable interest was created IN
a newspaper story which recently made
the rounds to the effect that the river
ST. Croix was the scene Of an expert
ment in the shape Of fish elevator. to
take the place Of the usual fshway.
The Maine Inland Fish and Game Com
mission was enough interested by this
novel scheme as to write for further
information and on Friday received
word from the Ministry Of Naval Ser
vice at Ottawa, per G. S. Desbarat, dep
uty minister, that the experiment was
being prepared on the MagaguadaV1c
river in New Brunswick, not the st.
CroiX, and that there was nothing at
present to tell about 1t, as the fish will
not begin to ascend there until June
or July, hence the elevator" had not
had opportunity to prove its value. He
also said that in due time he would be
very glad to inform the Maine depart
ment as to it's workings, information
which will be awaited with interest.
