paid for imported coke while we have thousands of tons of good coking chatal coal almost at our doors and plenty bof of men and means if properly organic ed to manufacture all the coke which would be needed for forborne home consumption thus saving a large amount of capital in the territory and building up a paying business for the tile many if coke cone can be manufactured in pennsylvania and

amended certain laws for the protection of game and fish which no doubt were as well adapted to the purposes intended as circumstances cum stances would admit section 2201 compiled laws provides that any person constructing or keeping a dam across any stream of water so as to obstruct the migration m igra tion of fish to and from their spawning gr ground or without providing suitable means for thein them to pass and repass is guilty of a misdemeanor section 2202 describes how fish ways are to be constructed there has been for years near the point of the mountain south of this city a dam across the river jordan that blocks the stream and prevents large quantities of fish from reaching z th their air favorite resort on one e of tb the e mos most t beautiful spawning grounds created by natures great artificer and in every way adapted to their wants and instincts namely utah lake because certain persons have failed to comply with the law the nish fish not having wings wherewith to fly must remain below the dam As a consequence of this neglect I 1 have for several years past observed a steady decrease of fish in the ahe jordan vast numbers of them collect at the daman dunable fo to pursue ney they become poor and emaciated and unfit for human food will those whose business it is or should be remedy the evil at once and thus honor and sustain the law jaw I 1 would suggest an
