Had it not been for the interest and
actual work they have put into prob
lem of conservation there would have
been little to conserve at the present
time. Concededly the best brook
trout territory, that provided by the
Battenkill river and its tributaries, in
the state is in Bennington county but
there was period around fifteen or
sixteen years ago when the natural
resources had become nearly exhaust
ed. AT that time there was no intel
ligent stocking of the streams and no
observation of limit or season laws
An awakened sentiment of true
craftsmanship combined with con
sistent and persistent stocking have
resulted in a partial restoration of
earlier conditions The good old

trout abounded in every water course
in the state are gone never to re-
turn. The sportsmen must help ma
ture to create the fishing and hunt

PERMANENTLY ISOLATED

AT the present time there is little
prospect that trolly service between
Bennington and North Adams will be
resumed before next spring, and per-
haps not then. Failure of the Massa-
chusetts superior court to appoint
Clinton Q. Richmond permanent re-
/ ceiyer has added more complications
to the already complicated situation
and there is an impression among
persons living in the vicinity of the
better-paying lines of the Berkshire
! system that the outlook is far from
hopeful. Provided some arrangement
should be reached whereby service
could be restored to the more popul-
Gus communities served by the sys-
tenn, it is probable that the people
living between Bennington and Sand
Springs would be the last to see the
cars

debt of 100000 which would prevent
