That salmon are easy to take with the spear they acknowledge, but they declare that It is their experience that tbe man who would be able to take three bass with a spear In one night is an ex pert and entitled to a medal. They hold tbe theory that much more good Uian harm attaches to the present law. ThBt per mitting spearing has done away with dy namiting to a great extent and that the general run of men, while spearing, take advantage of every opportunity to kill the alligators which feed mostly at night, and on fish spawn at that."
