Otto R. Roenius and Geo. N. Wood
spent Sunday, Nov. II fishing on the
west bank of the Wisconsin river in

bright, but they did not catch any fish
and they both agreed that the scarcity
of fish below the paper mills is caused
by the excessive amount of refuse
from the mill. Fishing is growing
poorer every year largely due to this
refuse. What is the remedy?
