Fisherman Should Bator Violeat Proteat
The Blair County Fish, Game
and Forestry association desires
to take some action on the posting ot trespass notices on the
Raystown branch ot the Juniata
river, from the Raystown power
dam to James creek in order to
determine whether this body of
water is a public stream and
whether or not the original grants
included tbe river.
The lollowiug is from the publicity committee of tbe orgaoiza
tion:
"The Raystown branch of the
Juniata river has been posted
with tnspass notices for eight
miles, from the Raystown power
dam to James creek. The commissioner of fisheries has been
asked for advise. In reply be
promises to take the matter up
with the Hon. James F. Woodward, secretary of internal afiairs
to advise whether or not this is a
public stream and whether or not
the original grants included this
river.
"The Huntingdon Coanty Con-
esrvation association bas complained about tbe same matter.
"Meanwhile plans may be discussed whether the legislature,
during its next session, oould not
give some relief. 'Whatever
suggestion any fisherman may be
able to offer, write to the secretary of tbe Blair Coanty Came,
Fish and Forestry committee, who
will, submit it to tbe legislative
committee. At the conservation
conference, March 30, at State
College, tbe farmers represen ta-
live, expressed a desire on tbe
part of the farmers to bave an understanding with the sportsman
concerning the posting of land
to hunters and fishermen. This
would be feasible it all sportsmen
•ast ciations ot the state were organized into one state organization. .

Gel Away From Hy Window
I always know whan iprinft is here,
For ell the loafer3 in town appear,
And seem to think they have the right.
In uiy front window to spend the night.
They lean on the rail and curie And s vvcr,
'Till their vulgar talk pollutes the air,
And wben ln relays their vigils keep.
They never give ine a chance for sleep.
I know some night when til led with wroth -
I wi'l give them grat's a tnrkisli liatft.
Did you see tbe baby battery
in action ?*
Next Saturday the club travels
to Duncansville. Let every fan
who is able to go, accompany the
club as it means a good bit to tbe
boys to bave yoo with them.
Everything was lovely Saturday
except the gate receipts. We
have too many fans who see the
game along the third baso line
and forget to help the club along,
bnt you always find tbe knockers
in that section. *
Rhodes is a good man to lead
off, and once he gets ou he is bard
to stop.
Are you one of the boys along
the third base iine ? Tf so, get
ont of bad company.
Bellwood is now tie with Hollidaysburg tor first place. Lets
root for the olnb to stay there and
also help them financially, as it
takes money to keep going.
