T here has been som e objections to the order
to shoot the sea gulls which prey on the fish in
Elk lake. B ut local people who have visited the
lake have felt th a t it was a sham e th a t with all
the oceans in the world to feed on, gulls by the
thousand were let to eat th e young fish in Elk
lake. T his lake is the best stocked lake in Ore
gon and is the chief source of Rainbow tro u t
eggs. T he gulls probably catch there daily m ore
fish than all the fisherm en in Oregon. Ridding
the lake of gulls will be com m ended by those
who have a know ledge of the situation, w hether
they are fisherm en or not.
