Articles have been published and re-
ports made by the Fish Commission that
saw-dust does not destroy fish. The writer
claims that the effect OF saw-Cust from GER
tain kinds OF wood is destructive to fish,
Joint Special Fish Commission report to
the contrary.
On pages three and four Of the Joint
Special Committee Report. the Committee
wish to throw the blame elsewhere than 10
the steam saw mills. They try to show
that the destruction Of TIE fish in our
streams is not attributable TO the steam
saw-mills.
The Committee say "In the case OF
pollution arising from saw-dust, we are
inclinedto think that the injury from this
source has been much oyer estimated"
We base our charge against this first ex-
cuse of the Committee to clear the steam
saw-mills, from this just charge. II is not
the saw dust direct that kills fish, but the
effect of pollution arising from the saw
dust" that kills them, While the water is
high there is no danger OF the saw-dust
poiluting the water; il is only when the
water is very low. The saw-dust is cast
into it in large quantities. causing the wa
ter TO become strong, or, in other words,
I've, making each dam and hole where it
stands q tanners vat of strong liquor.
Now, where is the fish that can live in
water OF this kind. In times past, when
we had nothing but the water mills, when
the water got so low that the fish would
be killed by the water being polluted in
every dam and hole, the mill had to stop
saving on account OF not enough water TO
drive it. At the present time thls is not
the case; the steam saw-mills saving as
much at a low stage OF water as at a high.
Also in times past very little hemlock and
oak was sawed; mostly pine, the saw-dust
from which will not affect the water. But
at present a great deal of the former kinds
OF wood issawed, the dust from which,
when thrown into water, will make a
very good liquor for tanning purposes.
The writer can point out a case where
hundreds OF trout have been killed this
summer, and found along the shore below
the said steam saw-mills - none being
found dead aboye-from a few inches TO
twelve and fourteen inches in length, and
this not in the immediate vicinity OF
the mills, but several miles below. Cattle
and horses refused to drink the water tor
the above reasons.
From one who is interested in steam
saw-mills, but who does not like to see the
wholesale destruction Of fish as was done
this summer.

from the great East, in excellent health
and spirits. He is 10 the field for re-
election, aud if he could go before the
people without the formality of con-
vention, would be elected by a larger
majority than he or anybody else in the
State ever received for Governor. 1t is
doubtful. however, ii he receives the
nomination, as his principal opponents
in both parties are the men who
engineer conventions, and too frequent
ly. by adroit manipulation of the party
machinery, make the weakest man be-

ping since the disclosures which have
heretofore been made were given TO the
public. Our reporter was immediately
on the alert, aud upon repairing to
the Justices Office fonnd that the re-
port was correct. The circumstances
of the reunion are briefly as follows:
Marancy was subpensed as witness
in civil Case which was on trial before
Justice Abbot yesterday, and after she
left the stand expressed to the officer in
attendance wish TO see Pollard. who
WAS in Deputy Sheriff. Harville' s
room, when she Immediately threw

wanted to leave him any more. Her
request was granted and she remained
with Pollard until dinner time, when
