Fishing at Howard Prohibited

The game hog" has at last got in his deadly execution at Howard Lake. Not satisfied with sportsman's bag of 25 fish day, the "hog" put in his time at Howard lake in catch ing 50 or more, and it is report ed that one bunch even went so far as to catch four or five hundred, and salt them down. In addition to this hundreds of fish were cleaned and cookedon the banks of the lake, and one outfit, said to be from Ash Fork even went so far as to upset and leave uncleanly the prem ises of the caretakers house at the lake. Oh we'll, the inevita- ble has happened. MT. Brown refused on Tuesday to permit any further fishing, at this pop ular resort. It is sincerely hop ed that, if number of respon- sible SPORTSMEN get togeth- CT and call upon MT. Brown, he may be induced to rescind the order, if certain restrictions are observed. It serves the people quite right to be prevented the use of this splendid sheet of water. and it is sincerely hoped that should MT. Brown lift the ban, prohibiting fishing, that anyone seen or heard of, having taken more than the limit, shall be prosecuted. Everysport should constitute himself a po- liceman to assist in the preser- vation of this recreation ground so close to Williams.

MAKES RA|S|NS COSTLY
Grower Tells Federal Trade Com.
mission They Are Being Used
in "Home Brews."

Prohibition is causing prevailing
high prices Of raisins and their
scarcity in eastern markets because
they are being used in home brews,"
according to testimony Of E. L. Chad
dock, president of Chaddock & Co.. in
dependent raisin growers, before the
Federal Trade Commission yesterday.
He declared that another reason for
prevailing conditions was the fact that
the California Associated Raisfn Com
pany controlled So per cent Of the Pa
cffic coast raisin acreage ana was be-
hind on its deliveries.
He did not charge that the AS
ISOLATED Raisin Company had pur-
posely held back it's deliveries while
the independent packers had disposed
of practically their entire supply.
Delays in shipment of raisins were due
principally to car shortage, counsel Tor
the Associated Company declared.
Charges were made by Oscar b.
McGiasson, secretary of Mcneil d
Higgins, Chicago wholesalers, that
the Associated Company had forced
Chicago wholesalers to accept open
ing price" contracts whereby the price
for fall deliveries was left undeter-
mined until the Associated Company
commenced deliveries. He claimed the
wholesalers had thus been compelled
to submit to arbitrary prices fixed by
the seller"
Representations were made to whole
salers, McGlasson charged, that If they
declined to accept these blank price
contracts they would be unable to OBJ
tain raisins throughout the season.
The heaSings will be resumed to-
morrow.
