AND GAME ORGANIZATION


this county have been endeavoring to

through this organization that most Of
the legislation regarding our game IL
passed. II a branch were started In

Now In view of these facts we are
more interested in fish than In game
The state will care for the game in
most cases without this organization
but not the fsh. We are advertising
this country of White River to bc the
best trout fishing In the WORLD. and
we must deliver the goods. For the
past ten years there have been more
fish eggs taken from Trappers and
Marvine lakes than we have received
spawn In return. The result being that
fishing has been getting poorer.
II one of these organizations were
established, action would be brought
to bear whereby we would receive our
proper share Of state appropriations.
Several retaining ponds and hatcherlcs
would be placed in the up river coun-
