Jess Ross of the Tooley Lake dis
trict, who has fish ponds near
Young creek, had the misfortune of
losing quite large number of fish
last week. A leak in one of the
lower dams caused the two lower
dams to wash out, flooding the
meadows below them for short
time. The flood waters cArried
large schools of fish with them to
the low lands. Thousands of fish
were retrieved, some placed in the
upper dams. some sold and others
given away. 1t would be impossible
j to determine the number of fish
lost but Mr. Ross gives 10000 as
rough estimate. Mr. Ross, with sew
eral helpers, has started rebuilding
the dams and will soon have the
damage repaired
