I do not believe that any of the natural resources of this state should be placed under the supervision of the federal government. "I believe that the necessary authority delegated to the State Game and Pish Commission would relieve the necessity of a hard and fast rule that might be established by statute for the closing of streams, particularly during the spawning season. "We stand for the screening of irrigating canals in order that the fry planted at the expense of the sportsmen of this state may find their abiding place in the many splendid trout streams in place of being thrown upon the lands as a result of open irrigating canals, to be devoured by the many scavenger birds to be found within our state. "We do not believe that the best results may be obtained by the indiscriminate use of poisoned grain for the purpose of destroying members of the rodent family. We contend that the greatest care should be given in the distribution of poisoned grain, as we have had an unlimited number of reports to the effect that large numbers of insectivorous, singing and game birds have been destroyed as a result of the sowing of poisoned grain upon wild lands, which has been con- tended to be the only method whereby the rodent family may be dis- posed ;.
