 mills, nets, and spears have done their work of 

 extermination, and now it is impossible for a fish 

 to run up the stream, owing to a dam having been 

 built across.

 station, and at sixteen miles accommodation for 

 two ; so the few members are not crowded in their 

 fishing. From the club-house to the second sta-
