The only funds we hare xrq from the sale of fish and gsmu licenses, tinea, and the sale of heaver furs taken under a stale permit. The game department does not receive funds enough to pul In any avreens and maintain them. Besides It la against the state law to put in any screen or device that will obstruct the flow of water. Help Trout. I think that the greatest depletion of our native trout la caused by the trapping and killing of beaver In tha upuer mountain atreama. 1 think that the beaver are the bear frknd that the f.ahertnan hue for the following reasons: Jt is the habit of the beaver to build hla dams and houses on aide atreama or large springs, qniall that run Into the main river, and aa I have said before. It ia the habit oi tho fish to drift Into the small streams (o deposit their spawn and usually most of the larger fish luck Into the main river bclcre get tlio water gets too low. The beaver builds hla dams, causing the wsler to back up, and causes natures rearing ponds and natural feed for the small fish, and this ia not all These ponds hold the water back so that it dues not run off all at once, which pruterta tha small fiah from cloud bursts and high water and tha beaver dunts alao conserves the water and causes springs to come up below the dams. But the greatest thing of ull la that the small fish are protected from their ancestors for it la a known fart that when feed ia scarce, that even the trout will eat their own offspring. Tha fish and game department has decided not to take bearer in the Uintah basin. Just for their furs, but only where beavers are doing actual damage. In the lower river and then to take them alive and transport them to clear water streams where they can help to stock tha streams with beaver. T!ic department has had a beaver .rap made o that the beaver can be taken alive. Right here, I want to say that beaver do not eat fiah. aa lota of people think. They are vegetarians and subsist wholly on bark and roots. Tha Uintah basin Is tha worst Part of tha atate to handle from a game standpoint, aa hers wa have the Indians to contend with, who from traditions, or treaties, claims the right to fish and hunt aa long ns the water rune and thegraaa ia But we muat protect the green. beaver, and not allow them all to become exterminated aa there ia grave danger of their becoming the people understand that wa need the beaver, if fishing is to become better, that beaver are a protection to the am all fiah, a of water and a protection to the forest, as the beaver dame holds the floods bark and prevent the young vegetation from being all washed away. 1 want to say thla much for tha Indian, tha full blood never has given the department much trouble. Ha car be talked to and is reasonable. But there are some of the near whltea that know it all and they are the ones that give ua moat of the Indian trouble. But it is tha while Indian that does mort of the violating of the game laws, and it has got to tha point that tha Indian is only used as a fence so that tha white man can get away with tha furs. They will either ship the furs, using an Indian's name, or get some sort of a hill of aale from some would-b- e Indian. The worst feature of trapping is that the trapper breaks the beaver dame and takes all the con-serv- er beaver and the first storm that comes, tha fish are loat. leaving nothing but a dry or washed out river bed.

The k extended from u point 30 miles north of th An-soUna and 23 miles east of th Nevada line to a point aome II ui 40 mile north of the Utah-ldaline, about due north of the Ci'y of Logan. The Wasatch mountains formed the eastar- - boundary whin-thwestern edge reached over in and beyond thr Nevada line it. The mean depth of thu plocee. lake was 300 feet, with tha deepest part being about 1,030 feet. Escalante bay, now th Escalante desert, was only 10 feet deep. There were two parts to tha lake the main body which comprisi-four-fiftof the lake and the Sevier body. These were conecliJ by three straits, each many miles The most prominent ba wide. In the main body were Cache bay (Cache valley) and ' Utah bay (Utah lake). Bonneville waa li-ml lea froiik north to south and 143 mllea wide. Due to tha many Indentations, tha total shora line measured 2,880 mllea. according tj Gilberts measurmenta. Throughout almost the entire distance th shore line la plainly visible although duo to land upheavals subsequent to th debacle and of tha lake, tha shore lines do not quite coincide around the enlra circumference. Splashes Over Ran. When tha great Bonneville basin was Anally Ailed with water tha wavea splashed over Red Rock paaa which was north of Cache bay and not far from tha present city of Downey, Idaho.

The length of time It took to lower thia lake tha 17$ feet and to cut tha surface from 19.7SII square miles to 11.000 square miles eould not have been more than 35 years. Gilbert says. In fact. It have been less than that, J'ght Gilbert believes, for tha present frow of Niagara would accomplish tha feat in that time and there ia every reason to believe that river waa than the present Americangreater wonder. Evaporation Next. Apparently the shrinking of th" lake from tha Provo stags to th present has been du entirely to evaporation. At th present time Great Balt lake haa an area of 2.100 square miles and an average depth of 16 feet, with a maximum depth of $0 feet. The water level fluctuate! from time to time, having been aa low as ona foot on an arbitrary guage and an high aa eight feet on the aam guaga in tha last 3$ years. Just at present It stands at five, which is generally accepted a an average depth on tho guage. Tha present Great Basin has been a basin for ages, except for that comparatively short ITtne of the debacle and the subeequent era embodied in the Provo stage. Evidences showing the gradual rise of the water In the lake are seen by Gilbert in Intermediate shore lines, which he claims could only have been made by Auctuatlona of the lake level on Its wav upward. Pour Different Lake. Geologists also find traces of four different lakes, which soma time In the million of years ago occupied the area west of the Wasatch mountains, but non of these are considered a predecessor of Lake Bonnevlll on arrount of the remoteness of the period. It ia also a fact accepted by th geologists that the present drainage of the Groat Basin existed before Bonneville began Its rise but Just what waa tha exact nature of th area no ono care to gueas. It la very ponuble. however, that in the era between the Eocene lakes and the rise of Laka Bonneville the Great Basin had pretty much as now, for all drainage waa anparantly toward approximately the present site of Great Halt lake, and It ia possible that thia bit of the saltiest bodv in America has merely rome hack to It own aAer a relatively short period of . hi peiras Juume 15!
