Tho trapping of thirty-nine bears by one hunter, Samuel Sam-uel Pierce, on tho Pish lake national forest, since May 1 of this yoar is tho report brought to tho local headquarters headquar-ters of the Fourth district "by Supervisor Super-visor C. B. Arenstsou. Tho Pish: lake supervisor arrived in tho city today for a conference with District Forester E. A. Sherman and othor ofliccrB of the district. Amateur bear hunters among the employees em-ployees of the district headquarters re. ceived something of a thrill when they learned from Supervisor Arentson that a singlo bear was so persistent in destroying de-stroying cattle on the Glonwood division divi-sion of the forest that tho stockmon offered $125 for its scalp. A Richfield hunter was successful in trapping the prize bruin and secured tho full bounty willi its additional reward. J n securing his thirty -nine bears dur- Iing the present season, Mr. Pierce started at May field, Utah, traveled up Twelve Alilc creek, crossed Salina can-von can-von and hunted as far. south as Fish lake. Other boar hunters in that ro-giou, ro-giou, according to the forest supervisor, have experienced an excellent season. Fish lake as a pleasure resort is growing grow-ing in popularity and there are as many as"J500 visitors in a day during the tourist season. The state is improving the fishing by introducing several additional addi-tional kinds of fish, among them rainbow rain-bow and eastern brook trout, stool heads and mackinaw. Mackinaw fish are now caught which weigh as much as twenty pounds. From the fish hatchery hatch-ery which is maintained, young fry are transported to tho heads of the streams which flow into the lake and it is interesting inter-esting to note that while tho native trout hatch in June and July, tho eastern east-ern brook trout hatch in October. Ten elk from Jackson, Wyo., were shipped by the state and county to the Fish lako forest in the spring of 1912 and twenty-five last spring. Although Al-though two in tho first shipment and three of the last wero injured in loading, load-ing, and subsequently diod, the reBt aro doing well and two calves wero born in the spring of .1912 and three tho last spring. They have been kept in Abe Casto 's pasture, twelve miles southeast of Salina, but will -be turned out next spring in the' large state game preserve, which has been created in tho center of this forest. The stato has created another game preserve in tho Nebo national na-tional forest to which elk. were also shipped last spring. The Salina canyon road now made available to automobile and other traffic traf-fic the entire distance from Salina to Emery, forty-two miles, by the building of twenty miles at the Salina end, is greatly appreciated by citizens of that region. This was done by an appropriation appropri-ation of $6000 by the stato and $4800 "by the government. Two miles of road in Monroe canyon has been built at a cost of; $5000, which permits travel by team directly up the canyon from Monroe, Mon-roe, whereas previously it was not possible pos-sible to go up the canyon except on foot and teams wero obliged to take a circuitous route of about seven miles to get lumber from the saw mills. |
