The Bangor Commercial says the sal- 
mon season just closed has been the poor- 
est known on the Penobscot in many 
years. It reports only about 20 salmon 
taken, against 60 to 80 in each of the sev- 
eral preceding years. The cause of the de- 
crease in the number of salmon in the- 
Penobscot is attributed to the fact that 
the pulp mills on the river discharge their 
chemical refuse into the water and thus 
pollute it to such an extent that the sal- ~ | 
mon no longer find it a pleasant home. It 
is predicted that unless this is stopped the 
fish will desert the river entirely in the 
‘|near future. 

The following catches of fish were re- 
cently made here from Lake Winnebago: 
Frank Parker, Fond du Lac, together 
with W. C. Houston, of Chicago, caught 
40 white bass. 
Lawrence Martin, Fond du 
pounds of perch. 
Col. N. Boardman, Fond du Lac, 190 
perch and white bass. 
Chas. Dins, Fond du Lac, 37 perch and 
white bass.

The output of trout from the Paris, 
Mich., hatchery was about 2,500 000 this
