 Two hundred thousand salmon and shad are to be put into the Colorado at it cOnfu- ence with Green river, and the salmon at the Needles. From there it is expected that they will reach the ocean by way of the Gulf of California. It is supposed that they will not leave the Gulf but will in common with the shad at stated times, run entirely to the headwaters of the Colorado and its tributaries. A few years will suffice to stock the entire river. The home market can then be supplied with its own pro duction.
 Prescott Miner: The Territorial law li- brary at present contains in the neighbor- hood of three thousand volumes, of which number $50 have been added under the jr- x1, of W..,, Arman. The miscellaneous library of the Territory contains about $500 volumes many of which are rare and valuable. Ow- ing to the failure of the last legislature to make any appropriation for the benefits of the general library, the only funds applic- | able to its care and maintenance are from | the sale of the Territorial Statutes. Both | libraries combined are probably worth be- | tween $15,00O and S2O,O0O.
 The Board of Trustees of this district | have expended the library fund together with tSe moneys added thereto by the Lee ture Course last fall in the purchase of | books for school library. The books have | been cataIogued and placed in the school | house in custody of Miss Julia L Mccarthy, ] Librarian. They number, including the sixteen formerly owned by the district and 1 three donated, 5e volumes. This library is | free to all pupils of a suitable age belonging to the public schools of the district, and l all residents are entitled to its privileges | subject to the rules prescribed by the Board | which rules include the payment of small | fee intended to aid the library fund and re- pair the wear and tear of books. The libra | " has been carefully selected and includes | books of reference, poetry, fiction, biog- | raphy and a variety of juvenile works by ! the best authors adapted to the age and | understanding of the children. The Board | earnestly invite the cooperation of parents I and guardians in encouraging the pupils of bur schools to acquire habits of reading | and love for good books.
