The year was 1900 and the establishment of such licenses was recommended by State Fish and Game Commissioner, John Sharp, in the third biennial report to the governor and legislature. Commissioner Sharp justified his proposal by stating, "The shooters and fishers receive a large share of the benefits and pleasures from the protection of the fish to use an old saw and game, and as they do most of the dancing, they should help to pay the fiddler." So started the philosophy that sportsmen should pay their own way. Through sportsmens license fee and modern fish and game management techniques, the fish and game resources of the state have been perpetuated and enhanced. Those who talk about the good old days should read Commissioner Sharps gloomy report of 1900. He states, Some of the most valuable varieties of the large game animals that were once abundant in the state, like the elk, antelope and mountain sheep have become almost like a dream or memory of the past, they are now so seldom seen and the mule deer that could be seen at one time all over the Territory of Utah like cattle upon a thousand hills in unlimited numbers, are fast going the way of the other three species..... Commissioner Sharps recommendation for a fishing and hunting license was finally accepted in 1907. Since that time, sportsmens license fees have furnished most of the funds for wildlife conservation in Utah. Utah sportsmen should take pride in the fact that they pay their own way, and that elk, antelope, mountain sheep and deer have not become a memory of the past."

Those living around the lake are urged to provide a plant belt, especially where Where there is a hill or animal run-of- f. possible, roads should tilt away from the pond.

The types of fish that would be beneficial or detrimental to the lake was also discussed. The concept of recycling all natural resources is not too familiar to westerners, largely because our resources have appeared to be unlimited. Now, however, with a new awareness of the fragile nature of our environment, we are coming to realize that time is short if the good life is to be preserved for our children. One approach is to custom design an environmental textbook for use in the elementary school, such a book has been put together by the Lindon school with spectacular results in increasing motivation of students; relevance of such studies as arithmetic, reading social studies to the world at hand. ..arp decrease in vandalism, increased community awareness, warmer and more meaningful family relationships, to mention but a few of the The environment group at the BYU is prepared to advise in the preparation of such a book.

In 1942 Ned Wight man established Recreation Billiards in the building and then in 1945 it was sold outside the family to Bill Fairbanks and the late Jesse (Pete) Wilson. They sold the billiards parlor and building to Brooks Robertson in 1949. He closed the business around 1960 and it stood idle and unoccupied until purchased this past spring by Noel and Carol Dixon. The building appears to be the north part of a large building with central stairway. It is in fact two seperate buildings tied together with a single facade. Architecture seems to be identical, but close scrutiny shows brickwork to be of individual design. The south building was constructed in 1891 by Orrawell Simons, mayor of Payson 5. His heirs residing in Payson do not know the use he made of the building, but additional information would be welcomed by the writer. An attorney is said to have had offices in the upper floor at one time. In 1916 Frank Pickering, editor of the local paper, published a small booklet picturing places in Payson, and under a photo of the double building are words Young-Wigman Block, which disregards the words Simons Block at top of the facade. The writer would also like to know about Mr. Young his full name, etc. When the picture was taken in 1916 the main floor was occupied by Samuel Worsen-crof- ts Tin Shop.
