st. Johnsbury and Caledonia county
should take live interest in the selec
ton Of state fish and game commits
sioner TO succeed John w. Titcomb.
This should be first because this conn
ty has one of the largest and enter
prising fish and game organizations in
the state-rhe Caledonia Forest and
Stream club; secondly. because this
county can furnish the best equipped
man available for this important work
in a former son Of the county, Eben
w. Cobb, now state superintendent Of
fisheries in the state OF Minnesota.
Mr.. Cobb was born in the town OF
Walden about SO years ago. While a
young boy his people moved to ST.
Johnsbury and young Cobb graduated
from the Union schools and the ST.
Johnsbury Academy. He then went to
work at the federal fish hatchery

nesota, where he has been very sue
cessful and has largely increased the
work OF fish culture there.
To secure Mr. Cobb as fish and
game commissioner would assure the
state of the services of an expert and
man of large practical experience.
That an expert. rather than politi
clan, is needed is shown by The re

close Of that year there was balance
