Show Destruction of Fish. The Dmbj Stock Report of fan j Francisco refers to the wholetle i destruction of fUh. by tlio use of giaut powder in Jite lakes and streams ot California, a? certain to produce a nsh famine if the practice is not stopped. This ' method not only result in the death of the fish used for the market, but thousands of young fish are killed which are of no possible use to anybody, any-body, beside the wholesale killins of the female in spawn. We learn that this rascally practice prevails to a considerable extent in this Territory, and that the trout in our mountain streams arc rapidly decreasing. The attention of the county courts should be yearly catled to this subject, and these cruel violators of law punished to the full extent of the law. |
