utah it is but proper to say that the amount they receive in compensation for their services offers but a incentive for them to give alie attention to figh protection that it deserves with respect to this element the fault does not lie B much with the fish law but in its administration the provisions of the statute are sufficiently explicit and wholly adequate but still the nefarious practices are carried on it is not necessary to look far for the culprit he may be easily found in the person of the market fisher who notwithstanding the well marked depletion of our streams ia able seemingly but nominal expenditure of time and effort to keep the fish benders venders and shops well supplied trout at all seasons of the year and his secure in the immunity from justice bv laws inadequately leera

applies equally as well to utah feo far aa my personal knowledge extends the result however is not so disastrous in utah as it is with our neighbor for the that the dams are not placed in position in utah until about the ast 1st of june in each year and are removed about september thus obviously affording a larger t of the trout an opportunity to follow their migratory instinct and reach the licad waters of the mountain streams to spawn and enabling them to return to the deemar waters for the winter we now come to the irrigating ditches which it would seem have bad to bear lore than their share
