noticed new steam hammer, by the
use of which large amount of labor

done. It works with such precision
that workman by Its assistance, can

will be completed in two or three
weeks. They have received the prin-

had made calculation on using water
power this winter and have all the
machinery ready to attach that sort
of powerat short notice. The water

water works are not completed they
will put in an engine and will use

We are indebted to S. Il. Evans for
a copy of the Report of the State Fish
Commissioners. of which he is a men,
Der. From this report we learn that
l,S5G,OO0 fish spawn have been dis
tributed in Iowa streams and lakes
since June 1874, at the very small cost
Of 50 1915. This includes the cree
ton Of the necessary buildings and
Matching machinery. This is certain
ly very creditable showing for so
littlc.an expenditure. The Commits
sion ask for an appropriation of $4,000
for the ensuing two years, and we
hope the Legislature will grant it.
They also ask for amendments to the
present law for the protection and
propagating of fish, which the Legis-
lature will no doubt acccde 10. The
report makes neat pamphlet of 40
pages, and is credit TO the Commits
sioners.
