fzed February 9, 1040, at a meeting
of a majority of the properly own- |
ers along Spring Creek. !
“Members of this organization |
have decided to post their lands and
forbid any form of fishing in the |
stream flowing through or along
their properties,” the letter sets)

The statement to Commissioner |

though the majority of fishermen |
belave in 8 sporismaniike fashion, |
