alive with trout. Last year there were 
none — not even little ones, and with the 
exception of a few trout that annually 
run down from Rock Lake and are 
caught early in the season, fishing on 
Rock River is a thing of the past. 
We find these conditions duplicated on 
the feeder streams of the Cedar River, 
from Cedar Lakes to the Hudson River, 
about forty miles in all. We have the 
same thing on Salmon River, Pine 
Brook, Brandreth Lake Stream and 
North Bay Brook, all feeders of the Ra- 
qnette River. It applies to all the large 
feeders of Cold River, with the excep- 
tion of the Moose Pond Stream, which 
is being driven, and which is practically 
keeping up the supply in Cold River. 
Directly the timber has been cut, the 
drive ends and the beavers will have it. 
We have had several bills before the 
Legislature to abolish this beaver nui- 
sance. They have all been killed. As 
far as I can find out they have met de- 
feat simply from lack of interest on the 
part of the public. 
If there is any good reason why the 
whole woods should be overrun with 
beaver let us hear what it is and I will 
support it. On the other hand, if there 
is no good reason, let us get together and 
abolish it. My personal opinion is that 
the beaver are a public nuisance of the 
wrost description, and the State would 
confer a benefit by immediately putting 
a bounty on them. If this cannot be done, 
let a part of the park be set aside as 
sanctuary and allow them trapped out- 
side of these limits. 
“UNCLE BOB” EDWARDS 
T he oldest gunmaker in the employ 
of the Ithaca Gun Company died 
recently after forty years service with 
the company. He invented the famous 
taper choke bore used in all Ithaca guns. 
Uncle Bob was known to thousands 
of shooters, and all who visited the 
Ithaca plant and especially gun repair 
men were sure to see him. He started 
work in a plant in a small town near 
Ithaca. During the Civil War he made 
gun barrels for the Government. He 
leaves two sons whom he taught the gun- 
making art and a host of friends and ad- 
mirers in the shotgun world.
