with remarkable results. In that
neither the Forest Service nor the
Bureau of Fisheries have funds for
the construction OF the retaining
ponds needed. this organization is
asking the Wyoming Congressional
Delegation to urge by special legis-
lation an appropriation CT $4,000
FOR this purpose, to be made avail
able in four equal installments.
This small appropriation will per-
nit this work to be properly carried
out under the direction of the Super
%intendent of the Saratoga Fish Hatch
cry and the Supervisor of the Medi-
cine Bow National Forest, and as
you can readily realize be a forward
step. not only in preserving a valu-
able resource, but in developing
Southern Wyoming's re~creations fea-
lures, that are of immense value OF
all the cities and towns of this sec
ton.
May we not urge that you and any
others interested in the preservation
and development of this feature take
such action as you feel proper and
join US in urging that the appropria-
ton outlined above be made avail
able for this proposed work by the
present Congress.

HIGHWAY ASSN.
OPPOSES CHANGE
FEDERAL ACT

The Cotton Bill, IL. X. 6133, intro.
duced in the House of Representa-.
lives BY Congressman Cotton of Utah
recently, has bee widely misunder.
stood, according TO ]. Newton Gum
President of the Lincoln Highway
| Association.
This Bill. while dra wn by a west.
ern Representative and designed to
make II possible for the United
States Government to extend an ever
greater measure OF aid t o the western
states for highway construction is
not. in Gums opinion. broad enough
In its provisions to adequately remedy
the situation which IL holding back
the completion OF many importan mt
roads In the west.
The Lincoln Highway Association
was n of the organizations which
worked hardest to bring about the
passage OF the Federal Aid Act In
1915 and the subsequent passage Of
the Federal Highway Act In 1921.
h latter Act very properly gives
the %so-called public land states Of
the West, 1. c. those states in which
unappropriated public lands OF the
United States Government comprise
more than SO Of the total area Of
he state, preferential treatment In
the distribution of the money ap-
propriatcd by Congress to aid high
way construction. II would seem
therefore that the Association would
be n strong advocate OF the passage
OF the proposed Cotton amendments.
h reason 1t is not. as explained by
the President of the Association. is
hat the Bill unnecessarily restricts
the application OF the additional aid
proposed.
Bill Amends Federal Highway Act
Under the existing Law the public
land states receive varying percent
ages OF the cost of their road CON
struction from the Federal Treasury.
b amount the United States Gov
eminent pays depends upon the ratio
between the area Of public land in
the state and the area 10 the state.
In Nevada where over 96eo OF the
total area OF the state IS unappropri-
ated public land the Government
now pays S7% OF the cost OF road
construction and the state Itself must
raise only 1875. The Cotton BIZ
would amend the Federal Highway
Act by providing that the public land
states may. upon request. receive
from tho Federal Government as
high as 1905 OF the Cost OF any Fed
rrnl aid construction on the ''pri-
mary" system. The Bill also removes
Federal aid In dollars. permitting
thu present limit on the mount OF
I'll, e%'pendi,ure of any sum per mile
the ftatc and tho Government agree

THE whole difficulty with the

fact that II restricts the application
ut 1909 Federal aid TO the primary

TO BE ASKED TO
PROTECT FISH

Roy Sundin, secretary of the Raw.
Tins Anglers Club, recently eceived
from the Laramie Council of Indus
try. the following self-explanatory
letter:
Mr.. Roy Sundin, Secy..
Rawlins Anglers Club.
Rawlins. Wyoming.
Dear sir:
The members of the Laramie Coun-
Gil of Industry are very much inter
ested In preserving the excellent
trout fishing now found in the lakes
and streams in the Medicine Bow
Forest. and in the streams that head
in that region.
The forest Is located west OF the
city Of Laramie in Albany and Carbon
counties and serves as an important
recreation center for the citizens OF
Laramie, Cheyenne, Rawlins. Sara
toga, Encampment, Rock River. Med
icine Bow. Hanna, and other southern
Wyoming cities and towns, as we'll
as for the thousands of visitors from
adjoining states and all parts CT the
middle west.
For a number Of years the Federal
Fish Hatchery at Saratoga and the
State Fish Hatchery at Laramie have
furnished trout fry which have been
planted in the lakes and streams of
the Forest by forest service officials,
hatchery employees and private citi-
Eens cooperating. Recently. the use
OF the Forest for recreation purposes
has increased to such an extent that
an earnest effort must be made to re-
stock the streams. IL the fishing for
which this region Is famous, Is to
continue.
We are informed by federal and
state hatchery officials, that fish fry.
planted in the usual way are not able
to take ARE OF themselves, and that
thousands are devoured by the large
fsh, and many die in the swift
streams. etc. They have also ad-
vised us that in order to secure q
satisfactory stocking of streams and
lakes. small adjoining ponds are
needed at the headwaters of streams
and adjacent tc the lakes. These
ponds will be used for holding the
fry for a season and permit them to
develop without loss from swift cur
rents and an extremely high loss from
being devoured by large fish. In the
fall. the small fish may be liberated
in the streams and lakes without
danger to themselves.
The plan outlined above has been
tried out in Colorado and other states.

Boston Will Try

A novel plan is proposed to relieve
the traffic congestion in downtown

mineral of the license tag, and allow
the odds" to come down town on
odd" dates. while the ''evens' "a
visit and shop on even" dates.
Naturally, the propositiol has met
with tremendous opposition on many
grounds. to which the proponents Of
the idea retort that 1t is better to De

than no days at all, and tina. II some.

prises 10 of the total highways in
each tate. OF this 10 three
seventies or 80 of total road mileage
of the state is termed the primary
or Interstate highway system and
four-sevenths or ia of the total road
mileage of the state is termed the
secondary or intercouuty highwa,
system.
There has been no distinction he.
tween primary and Secondary
highways in the western states ci
large area and small population. In
these states the 10 feature of the
Federal Highway Act so limited the
total mileage Of Federal aid high
Ways that both primary and sec
ondary' designations were required
to take care OF the nos vitality i'm
portant roads in the states. The
type OF construction necessarily be-
ing built on the primary and sec
ondary' Federal aid highways Ut the
western states Is identical.
Purpose of Restriction Obscure
Great difficulties have been ex-
perienced in endeavoring to bring
abont the completion OF the neces-
sary through roads in these sparcely
populated states of the West. As
these roads are of national import
ance IL Is sound policy to provide b
law that in the discretion OF the
Secretary OF Agriculture the United
States Government can pay 1909 of
the cost OF certain sections on the
Federal aid system where the state
requests such a measure of aid. But
TO u that this lOO% measure
OF aid Is required only on the 'pri-
mary highways OF the Fedreal aid
system is utterly without basis. There
Is difficulty in understanding why
the Bill was drawn by a western
representative to restrict this further
measure OF aid to n very small part
OF the necessary highway improve
ment required in the west. II has
been assumed by some that the meas
ure Is largely designated. in view Of
its restrictions. to aid the State OF
Utah which Is having difficulty IN
financing even It's 2S% OF the cost
OF the highly expensive improvement
on the primary system between Salt
Lake City and Wendoycr and also
the Improvement necessary In south
orn Utah on the road connecting
salt Lake City with Los Angeles.
Nine States Affected
The Cotton Bill provides that this
1909 Federal aid viii be available

containing over so OF u%napproprri-
