De.\r Sir — Your favor of the 31st ult. . duly received. In reply beg to say 

 that the amount of coarse fish taken from Fox lake this year has been as 

 follows: 



During' the month of September. 1904 -. .. 3,930 



During the month of October. 1904 19.735 



AVe expect an enormous amount of carp this fall as all indications point 

 that way. Never before have carp been caught in such numbers in our region 

 so early in the season. Other years it was always necessary for cold weather 

 to set in before we could make any catches whatever of carp. 



Kespectfully yours. 



Hexry Kleixe.
