Sounds Bad, But
Really Its Good

It's against the law to seine fish,
yet half q dozen prominent young
businessmen Of the district were
seen by the game protector doing
that very thing. During the activi-
ties more than $500 young bass and
crappies were taken, to say MOTH
ing Of the hundreds Of carp. suck
ers, etc. The game fish were fing-
erlings stranded in the pot holes
along the flats near the Yakima
river and they were put back into
that stream to provide sport In fu-
ture years.
The sportsmen, who were engag-
ed In the wet dirty Job were Elmer
Olson. Carl Schuster, Walter
Knowles, Joe Martin, Hugh Cope
land and Howard (Fibber) MCGEE.
Other seining operations this sum-
mer has brought the total to more
than five thousand baby fish that
have been salvaged. The Jobs have
been in charge Of Game Protector
Dennis Huntley.
Mr.. Huntley says that while the
take Of game birds this fall has
been no more than average per
hunter, there are many more birds
than have been seen In recent years.
Sales of hunting licenses topped all
records this fall, and this is par
ticularly true of the big game.
