Destroying Our
Property

! Americans are VIGOROUSLY the most
wasteful of people, and within the
past few years their wastefulness has
been multiplied by many times. Some
Of this carelessness for the future
must end before very long, if the hard
times which are predicted actually
come to pass. A resource of great i'm
portance, constantly being wasted and
whose value our heedlessness is re-
ducing year by year, is the potential
product of the waters-of our shores
and streams and lakes.
In the days of the first settlement of
the country its fisheries were of great
importance, for on them the early set
tiers depended in large part for their
food. In all the rivers there were
shad, salmon, trout cells, and many
other fish, and at certain seasons of
the year these not only fed the people
who lived near the banks of the
streams where the fish were taken, but
supplied also many others who came
from a distance to procure a supply
of fish, which they dried or sailed
and took away for use during the win
ter.
| Civilization-like life-cannot exist
without water; the sea, the lakes, the
streams and the marshes touch every
aspect of human life. Much has been
said and written and many laws have
been enacted about the care Of water
for drinking and for domestic pur-
poses, but little thought has been
given to protecting the life-the ami
mails and plants-which lives in and
is supported by these waters. Yet
directly and indirectly these animals
and plants perform important func-
lions for man. Some Of the life fur
nishes him food-the fish, some of the
reptiles. and the shellfsh-and for
various purposes he uses the birds and
the mammals that freuent the waters.
The plants furnish food for fishes,
birds and mammals, and the shrubs
and trees that grow along the shores
protect different forms Of animal life.
Here in America we use our streams,
as sewers to carry away the waste Of
manufactures and of cities, and this
is incompatible with the continuance
of the useful life of the waters.
Besides this, every man is anxious
to secure for himself as quickly as
possible all that the water produces,
and the fish are caught without the
slightest regard for the continuation
of the species. AS a result OF these
courses the shad and the salmon are
greatly reduced in all Atlantic streams
| or are absent from them; and the
salmon on the Pacific, from Alaska to
Oregon, have been so depleted in num-
bers that but few reach the upper
waters of the streams to reproduce
their kind. Even the breeding stations
of the Fish Commission cannot secure
enough eggs for artificial Matching.
In some of our more important
streams the fish have been absolutely
barred from reaching their spawning
ground by tho erection of dams with
out fishways, and these impossible
walls put an end to reproduction and
in a few years exterminate in that
stream fish which were once abundant.

Special to the Daily Tribune.
Kalispen, June 12.-After voting in
Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Montana for
80 years or more and holding govern
ment positions, Frederick Bruckman OF
Poison, has discovered that he is not
citizen of the United States and today,
flied a petition in district court to Sc
cure naturalization papers. Mr.. Bruck-
man, who took up homestead on the
Flathead reservation a few years ago,
stated that he came to America with
his father in 1884, and that his father
took out his first naturalization papers
soon after. He later assumed that he
was a citizen by his fathers 1atural-
ization and on that assumption enJeS-d
the privileges of a citizen for years.
When he attempted to "prove up on
his homestead he could not establish
his citizenship and an investigation on
the part of himself and members of his
family established the fact that Bruck-
man was past u years when his father
became natufalizedI and consequently
Bruckman was not citizen.
