poets to be in Ellsworth in ten days or two
weeks, but isn't making any promises.

A petition to the inland fish and game
dams on the Union ri ,er in Ellsworth, has
received large number of signatures, and
will be forwarded to the commissioners
this week. The commissioners will doubt
less order hearing on the petition at
some early date, when the petitioners
will be given opportunity to present their
claims why fishwsys should be maintained
| in the dams on this river, in accordance
with law. There is sufficient evidence
that the humpback salmon planted in the
| river the past few years are returning,
and it is undou btedly true that many sal
mon come down the river from the tribu-
ta y lakes each year, and are una Bile to re-
| turn.
