Show FISH LAKE NEEDS from a r ireful study of the condi eions at fish lake fish and gime commissioner chambers and his very nery efficient deputy depute brig madsen have armed arri ed at the conclusion conc luion that there is not enough fish food such as ab tile the voracious voa Toa cious clous trout demand in the lake there being i A seir city of other fish the trout resort to eating their own 3 young oung the past year these two officials together with etli bron hanchett H Hin chett the local warden made a study studs of fish lake trout complaints have been made that the aih were becoming scarcer eich 3 ear in spite of the protective jabb some people thought this was due to the large amount of spawn taken from the lake each year ear the fact is that out of the large amount of spawn secured over sa per cent is hatched by the state and this year trout fry were deposited in the lake out of the same amount ol of eggs left to hatch in the natural way nal onh two per cent would developed dev elope into fr fry so eo that the the amount of fry put in the lake this year is double what the yearly ine in creise reibe would be when left to nature 0 method in addition to the scarcity of natural food in the like lake the commissioners discovered di that under the fins of eich trout examined last summer there is a colons of parasites which is breeding disease among the fi fish h this will in time lead to the extermination mi nation of the fiah lake trout ind the parasites paras itei and disease dibease conle come from improper tood food to remedy this the commissioners are seeking a food to be planted in the lake carp suckers mullet chub and shiners are the natural food for the trout the I litter ariely or fisli never ne er grow gron more than three to four s in fifth they multiply quickly and they are an excellent food for trout one or more of these kindbom kinds of fish will nill be planted in fish lake in order jorder to provide pro ide a food for trout black abass bass cannot thrive in fish lake for the same reison reason the only fish food in the lake at present is the water lizard or waterlog waterdog water dog as it is known locally this is an undesirable inhabitant of the I like ike and as soon econ as there are other ether fish for food in the lake black bass will be added to the waters vaters what we ne desire to show in the above is that the present officers who are looking after the fish and game interests of the state are the right light men for the positions they are looking into the matter from a commercial standpoint the sports nans mans the fish industry does not appeal to them as much as does the food value of the fish and as an article of commerce the they are endea endeavoring orin to propagate fish to the extent that a source of revenue to utah v will ill be created from the fish exports to surround nR rig status ml MI madsen maden saas that the fish from rom utah should yield thousands thon sands of dollars annually to the commercial interests of the state to this end the th are laboring heretofore fish culture his been follon ed tentatively for the sportsman without regard to the commer cial side under the present officers the propagation of in every warter of the state where suitable water can be found will bo be pushed for the commercial bide of the industry mr maden nanel asserts that is one of the pre requisites in fish propagation and therefore he insists on the places hiving haing the most water vater being served with tile ha other facilities for the production of fish A STATE ROAD the

prohibition there has been much rejoicing among the unobservant hereabouts hereabout as to what thea the allege I 1 ib the failure of prohibition in the recent election these thee the e people are misled milled the facts are all against them in the recent elections contrary iry to the general im pre uns in ili richfield utah cities generally hive hane placed the stamp of their app approval roial on prohibition the two to largest citi cities cl outside of salt lake and ogden provo and logan have hac both elected strong prohibition councils Inthe in the latter alt the ques question Lion of prohibition or high license was nas sub mit bitted ted to the people A total of 1416 votes notes were cast for prohibition against for high license the republican ticket v as in every office except one councilman and the recorder these ire all prohibition officers and logan will go 90 dry as soon as the officers are inducted into office in january januar in provo the general city ticket was carried by the independents the high license people because of a failure of the democrats and republicans to unite the council however is prohibition by four to one and this is enough to carry through a prohibition hibi bibi tion law which is now in exist nee ence to become operative operatic on january ast 1st st the present provo council pass cd an ord inInee this fall making provo dry on january and the new council will not interfere with this in addition to these two cities nephi Ms his a prohibition council thre there are numerous other towns N which aich have declined ired in the election just p for prohibition we believe that if the question were submitted fairly to the vaters in richfield as it should be submitted this city would deedre decaire I 1 irgal for prohibition ahe cry goes up that prohibition has been i i failure in d to anyone who his watched vat ched this matter closely the fiet is ip parent thit the there ner e his been no att attempt ermIt it prohibition on in richfield true an ordinance W wis p pissed vald against the selling of liquor here but there has been no attempt at enforcement the council passed the ordinance and then quietly awaited the ordin ordinance ince to enforce itself the hirshal has been poix powerless erless as he has had bad no fund at his command to engage assistance so necessary 3 in the enforcement of so ho radical a change as the prohibition ordinance called for prohibition inz in richfield has not been a failure because it has not been tried the saloonkeepers saloon keepers have become arrogant and defiant because every case brought against them has been a victory for thelby inefficient prosecution ut I 1 on we hae bae wilted patiently for a fair test of the ordinance there has teen leen none lawyers for the opposition declare that even though a conviction is secured in the lower courts the ordin ordinance ince is so palpably defect defective ne that the higher courts will reverse the lower courts The council did not antici anticipate pat a defective ardi nince n ince and as a matter of fact when v hen the ordinances were nere acing being revised and the prohibition ordinance was as being drawn the maor anria or and city attorney were authorized to secure competent assistance for the work this asgis assistance tance was inas never secured whether the ordinance is drawn or not it is a fact thit it will ill not enforce itself one reason advanced for the laxity in prosecutions is that th thal rare are not in favor of such pro prosecution elution whether this la ib true or not the ordinance is on the books and until it is repealed it should be enforced THE WEEDS the de destruction of weeds needs has ome t hn pon P on of im import inco in utah in a recent editorial in the herald republican
