CONSERVATION OF FISH

Although the average fisherman gives little attention to
the fact, many of the minnows which are being seined and
sold for bait are in fact but small baby trout, which have
been spawned or planted in the streams and lakes from whence
they are taken. This is especially true at Newton lake and
other bodies of water where fish fry and fingerlngs are being
planted annually.
To the end that we get the greatest results in fish propa-
cation, fisherman should be very careful as to the species of
the little fish they use for bait. Be very careful that you
are not batting with baby trout, and thereby making yourself
liable for prosecution and censure.

RESOURCES OF FOREST AT
GLANCE

NATIONAL forests constitute
~ one of Wyoming's most val
liable resources and the follow
ing points show why:
Grazing provided for l23,416
horses and cattle and 574,130
sheep to turn grass into meat
supply.
They contain 1900, 267, 600
board feet of standing timber
and great supplies of cordwood
in addition.
Annual growth of wood is 210,-
100000 board feet. Total cut
last year was 100000 board
feet.
State derives direct revenue
in cash return from government
from forest earnings.
Thousands of visitors flock to
Wyoming annually to enjoy un-
excelled hunting, fishing and
camping privileges. AS a ma
tional playground the forests vie
for popularity with the parks.

PLAN ON A BIG

To Safeguard Workers on Eight-M
Tunnel Through the Cas-
cade Mountains

The state department Of labor and
industries hopes to establish a record
for low loss of life and small number
of injuries during the driving of the
Great Northern's new eight-mile tun-;
mel through the Cascades.
A saving of $4,000 a year IN
industrial insurance premiums is pos
sible thru enforcement of safety reg
ulations, Supervisor Martin j. Fly
xix estimates. Medical aid savings
would be even greater if the hazards
are reduced. :.
Experience in driving small tunnels
in this state show the cost for indus.
trial insurance runs about 2 cents 9
day per man with medical aid costing
an additional cents day. The Great
Northern bore will be eight miles
long with crews working six ways
from each entrance and both ways
from two shafts. It is estimated 12Ot
men will be employed and the payroll
will run $4,000 day. Based on othel
experience and considering additional
hazards it is figured the industrial
insurance cost per man will be three
and one-half cents day and it is Thu
