 Ernest Blake caught trout ill the Power Company's canal, Monday. that weighed one and quarter pounds. A few days before MT. J. K. Mackie is said to have caught one weighing two and quarter pounds. It is frequent occurrence, when the wheels are stop ped, at the power house, for large sized trout to be caught ill the canal. A considerable number of fish, including trout, and especially eels, get wedged into the wheels and cause annoyance. A fine screen has been placed at the gate way, to keep out the larger fish, which has abated the nuisance to a considerable extent. Before the screen was installed the smaller wheels were often clogged with fish. The larger wheels ground them up into pulp.
