TIE fish and game committee OF
the Canon City Chamber of Com
merce received another consignment
of Eastern brook trout from the state
fish hatchery at sDenver last Friday,
which were released in the retaining
ponds at Parkdale and Coaldale to be
fed until large enough to be turned
into the Arkansas river. These fish
were brot here by Mr. Ribbing, SUI
perintendent of the Denver hatchery
in thirty-six cans, each of which con
tanned between three and four thous-
and fry. The contents of six of the
cans. aggregating more than 10000
fish, were emptied into the Parkdale
pond and the remainder of the trout
aggregating something like 100000,
were put into the Coaldale ponds. ..
l.. Robson and r. l.. Sears of the com
mittee assisted in the release of the
fish at Parkdale and Ted Harding and
W. E. Galley at Coaldale.
The trout brot here from the Den
yer hatchery last Friday We're splen-
did specimens of their kind and will
be fed and cared for in the ponds un-
til next August when they will be
placed in the river. Thus far the state
fish hatcheries have furnished the
committee here about 100000 brook
trout during the past year and have
promised it liberal supply of the
Rainbow variety curing the next few
months.
The fish and game committee of
ed hard during the last two or three
years in an effort to stock the Arkan-
sas river with game fish and has
succeeded to large degree in max
ing it fairly good fishing stream.
There is considerable expense con
nected with the enterprise in which
they are engaged that must be met by
public. subscription IL the undertak-
ing is to be made the success that it
deserves to be. The conversion of
the Arkansas river into a fishing
stream that will attract the atten-
ton of sportsmen, however. requires
persistent and long continued endeav.
or and money is essential TO accom-
plish it. in consideration of the graft
flying work of the committee to this
end appeal is made to the public for
funds to help carry on its labors. The
stocking of the river with game fish
is an enterprise in which everybody
is interested and there should Re a
hearty, generous encouragement on
the part of people generally in the
proposition. If the right kind of CO.
operation is extended TO the commit
tee the success of its enterprise will
be assured.
