At 12:01 a, m. next Thursday tha flah-tas flah-tas season for trout, base and mountain has i Nil will open la Utah for tha year 1811. . K sports from variooa parts of the state are that nrrer in at least tea yean kaa the) flehini been aa food aa it will bo ttla roar.. Everyons of the favorite streams la reported to bo "alt wltft flea" and fee died pie of Xsaak Walton hi promised the boat kind of flatdnc dminc tho open season. Tbia eoadltlea is made poeeible for two raaenaa; first, the planting of mil Hobo of treat fry ia the streams of the state daring the last two or three years, and. eeeona, the riffid enforcement of - the Ash and game law. To the enforce- meet of the law la dne most of the credit for tha present condition of the stream, of Utah. It is a notorious fact that for years moa hare rone into the mountain streams and with a sties, of dynamite or a bottle of lima and a , little water, or by some other method, haTO."ebot" the biggest holes in the streams. It la also a fact that seines and other devices hare been used from time to time on the beat streama of the state. 8oeh people are not sportsmen. They are tho ''boos" the mea who care nothing for the sport of Ashing, bat simply want to see how many fish taer eaa bring back home or eell. Thanks to the rigid enforcement of ' the-fish law in this state, this elasa of sporting degenerate is faat disappearing. disappear-ing. The Utah law makea it a felon r for a man wbo dynamitea a stream, and though there have been no arrests an- der this provision of the law, it' has bad its effect oa those who might be tempted to do each work. From one to lve years in the state prison or a tne of from $S00 to 10,000, or both, does not look good to this class of vio-. vio-. latora of the law. While there is reason rea-son to believe that there have beea one or two rases of this kind of violation during tho last two years, tho ovideaee baa not been aumcient to secure a conviction con-viction and the cases have been so few that the officers of the law' believe that ' the practice ia about broken np ia this state. Another thing that entered into Injuring In-juring the fish in this state for many years was action of many of the canal fused to screen their streama Tha result re-sult waa that mors fish was lost on the ' farms of tha state every year than were caught by tha hook and Una.

Another thing that aaadi-caroed aaadi-caroed the propagation of fish in ear-era! ear-era! of tho streams of tho state for a number of years waa tho Indifference) of power plant companies to provide proper prop-er nskwaya for tho fish to ro np the otraaaa a tha point wtiere their power : niaaat intake was located. .Tbi defect t haa been rstaejisl in. nearly every ben M earnee to eeUoMr the bast laea to go for the opening day there le catenae for debate and oboloe.
