 It is so strange to me that en- 

 lightened men will do so much to their disadvantage. 



"The trouble is that the fisherman thinks if he lets the little 

 ones go iodic other fishermen will gel them, and so they all 

 go in and take all they can. 



If it had not been for the work of the Fish Commissioners 

 pound netting would not pay in but. few places outside of 

 Lake Superior. 



The pound net owners are men of means— they have to be 

 to own many nets— and if they would call a meeting and 

 agree that no one should set a pound net with a mesh of less 

 siz.e than would hold a whitefish weighing one and a half 

 pounds there would be no need of any laws by the legiala- 

 tors. The best kept laws I have ever known is a set of men 

 gCl together and draw Up an agreement and all sign it. That 

 iaw Will not be broken, for every one of these men has his 

 eye on the other. Many fishermen have the idea that all en- 

 gaged in fishculture are their enemies, but that is not the 

 ease. Wo are the best friends they have, and if they would 

 take the above points into consideration seriously it will he to 

 their advantage in the end.
