The gates were opened for irrigating and before it became known to anyone, the ton of fish was swept through the spillway at the dam and down the small creek. Bill Sorenson, who has charge of the Glcnvvood hatchery, and- acting as game warden, was notified of the ratastrophe by Arthur Nelson of th:s city. Nelson had been told by tourists that large fish were floundering in the low waters at the reservoir, and that some action should be hurried. Warden Sorenson, with assistance, made a hurried trip to the reservoir and found a deplorable condition. Tons of fish that had not escaped through the spillway were in the low, murky and warm water, and were dying rapidly. The gates were closed and it is hoped that the waters from Daniel's canyon, which fccd3 the reservoir, will supply suffieient water to keep the fish alive. The loss will be great, and it is estimated that about two tons of fish will die. This reservoir has been a paradise for sportsmen, and trout as large as 12 pounds have been taken this year. It was found, when a large amount of water had been drawn off, that some two feet of mud and silt had accumulated over that of last year, and it was difficult to estimate the depth of the water. Many bf the smaller trout, Mr. Sorenson thought, would be able to make it, but many of the larger rainbow were doomed to death. Warden Sorenson one of the fish trucks to the reservoir in the hopes of transporting the larger trout to Fishlake, but investigation found the fish too sick to be - With a view of perfecting plans that would aid the Sevier Valley Coal company in tiding over operations for a couple of months, or until the demand for coal became greater, soma 60 per cent of the bondholders, as wt 11 as the official roster of the organization, met at Richfield Wednesday afternoon and named a committee, si t isfactory to all present, that will work out the plans. The committee named at the meeting comprises C.M. Edwards, attorney, of Gunnison; Dr. C. Leo Merrill and Dr. of Salina; C. J. Sumner and Mr, Ogden of Richfield. had been After the proposition widely discussed the committee was authorized to' work out a plan that would safeguard the interests of the bondholders, as well as the company, and place the company in a better position to secure the necessary finances for further development. It wa3 brought out at the bondholders meeting that the proposed plans would aid materially the coal company in furthering the great work that has been planned, and if the organization can be sustained for two or three months under the proposed plan, it would be Freece-Ame-s- on g. Notwithstanding the fact that coal sales are low at this time of the year, some forty men are at work at the mine and coal is being extracted every day. Many tons from the mine are being sent out at intervals to California, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and Washington. The coal, which is superior to much of the coal mined in other parts of the state, is gaining favor aud its quality is being widespread. With the coming of colder weather it is predicted the sales will be more than doubled. INSPECT RAIL WORK. A. C. Shields, and nt div- general manager, Hugh Wilson, ision superintendent, II. C.
