it looked funnj, ’ and Matt giggled. The 
more the two men were with the lad 
the more they were impressed with his 
sterling worth. Uncouth as he was and 
often unkempt there was ever with him 
the impress of sincerity and never a 
trace of vulgarity. 
He was ever quick to see the humorous 
side of a matter and generally had a 
quaint quip to help the matter along. 
“When the water cools down some 
we’ll go pikin’ over these ponds some 
day an’ if we don’t find ’em in one we 
will in t’other. Seems tough they go 
over a dam when the water’s runnin’ 
plenty, wonder if they do?” continued 
Matt. Good nights were said, but not 
until they had seen that Mr. Silvers, 
the owner of the mill and boat, had a 
liberal supply of fish. Then each passed 
on to their respective domiciles 
“ Nor let the Muse in her award of fame. 
Illustrious Perch, unnoticed pass thy 
claim.” 
SOME ASPECTS OF 
STREAM POLLUTION 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 464) 
T he Report of the New York 
Zoological Society for 1907 con- 
tained an article on The Pollution 
of Streams, in which mention was made 
of the widespread practice of polluting 
waters with the refuse of sawmills. Two 
of the pictures in this number of Forest 
AND Stream show how sawdust is thrown 
into the Delaware River. One of the 
mills is situated at Rock Eddy, on the 
East Branch of the river above Pepac- 
ton. New York. The other is also on 
the East Branch, above the mouth of 
the Beaverkill. Year after year these, 
and other mills like them, throw tons of 
their waste into one of the finest black 
bass and canoeing streams in New York. 
It is an amazing fact that there are 
over six hundred concerns of this sort 
in the State. Sawdust blackens the 
water and settles into the gravel beds, 
making them unsafe for fish eggs and 
fry. Government experiments have 
shown that sawdust in the water pro- 
motes the growth of fungus on fish eggs 
and kills both eggs and young fishes. 
There can be no more inexcusabe prac- 
tice than that of disposing of sawdust 
by throwing it into a stream. There are 
always places on land where it can be 
deposited without its becoming, a nui- 
sance, and it can always be burned. The 
numerous angling associations of the 
United States can render a most im- 
portant service to the country by form- 
ing leagues for the enforcement of ex 
isting laws against the pollution of 
waters by sawdust and other wastes in- 
jurious to fish life. At present it is al- 
most impossible to prosecute offenders 
owing to the existence of local sentiment 
in favor of the industries which offend. 
Very little can be expected from local 
juries. The fight against the pollution 
of angling waters must be made by pow- 
erful State organizations, who can keen 
up the struggle from a broad point of 
view, until the justice of their side re- 
sults in success and headw^n is m'^'^e.
