Once more the Montana grayling
Is making reels sing In Yellowstone

anglers was contained In q bureau
Of fisheries announcement that the
grayIing was staging a comeback
after a 3O-year disappearance"
largely through the planting OF
lingering fish from the federal
hatchery at BOzenan.
The bureau, quoting Charles l.
Fuqua, superintendent at the hatchery
said the West Gallatin river IN the
park had been stocked with the finger
iings initially in 1898. Now, said the
bureau, at Is thought that the species
VIII be able to maintain itself by
natural reproduction, assisted BY q
limited number Of hatchery raised
fingerlings."
The grayling is native OF Mon
tana waters, and abounded in the
Madison, Jefferson and Gallattn rivert
in the early days when the Indians
fished the northwest territory. Each
spring saw the fish ascending the Gal
latin's tributaries for spawning, anc
the Indians made long trips TO the
waters TO catch the fish. which were
dried and used for winter food.
The advent Of the white man tsays
the bureau saw the more or less
wanton destruction of this splendid
species" Once famous for It's grayling
the West Ga1latin now became known
for it's trout after rainbow and brook
trout were introduced into its waters

Some Routes

Hard-surfacing of certain key
arterial streets OF Tacoma that
now have only graveled surfaces
was assured Wednesday when
Commissioner Bergersen's resolu-
ton was adopted by the council
establishing the project and au-

Bergersen explained the works
departments intention to oil-mat
some 10 miles of primary routes
not now treated and constant
source of dust raised by heavy
traffic.
Bergersen said the streets
selected for treatment are 3sth

Pacific ave; Julia's Gulch road;
Lincoln ave; So. 18th St, west OF
Proctor st; No. Pearl st, from

The hardsurfacing, he said,
