Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries
Mcdonald has presented to the Senate
report of the number of persons en-
ployed in Michigan, and the salaries
paid the property held by the COM
mission, its cost, value and location
the stations occupied by the commits
sion and also statement of the APP
preparations which have been made
annually for the work of the commits
sion since its establishment. The list
of salaried employees of the fish COM
mission is as follows: +. n. Clark,
superintendent, $4,000; S. Bowers,
assistant superintendent, of Michigan
stations, $500; M. S. Root, fore
man Worthwhile station, 5000; S. p.
Wires, foreman A pena station. ST.
140; III. ID. Dean, assistant North
vile station, 5000; J. G. Fox, assist
ant Alpena station, 5000; Frank S.
Harmon, clerk Worthwhile station,
$500; f. A. Tulian, Waterman AL
pena station, 500. The commission
er says of the Michigan stations
"The object of the Worthwhile sta
ton is the Matching of whitefsh and
lake trout, and the Matching and rear
ing Of the rainbow, brook, and other
species Of trout for distribution to
ponds, lakes and streams of Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. 1t is
proposed in future to confine the
whitefsh work to Alpena and Duluth
which are more advantageously stu
ated for the purpose, and to give
greater extension to the work of dis
tribution to the streams, ponds and
lakes of the interior of the States
named. The United States rents the
land, at Worthwhile, occupied by the
buildings and ponds of the Cold
Springs Cream Il Butter Co., for $500
per annum. Immediate steps will be
taken to protect the tenure of the
United States by lease, there being
now no formal one. The st of
maintaining the station last year was
$10,547. The object at Alpena is the
Matching and distribution of whitefish
to Lake Huron, Lake Superior, Lake
Michigan, and the interior lakes of
the Michigan peninsula. The land up
on which the station stands is the
property of Geo. N. Fletcher, of Al
pena. The station was erected and
occupied in 1888, under a verbal
agreement, the conditions of which
were that the United States Fish
Commission should have control and
use of the site upon which the hatch
cry stands for ten years. Mr.. Fletch-
er states that no payment of rent has
ever been made to him. The cost of
maintenance last year was S3,133."-

For the relief and cure of the innama-
ton and congestion called "a cold in the
head" there is more potency in Ely's
Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making brilliant
success as remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial
stages of these complaints Cream Balm
prevents any serious development of the
symptoms, while almost numberless cases
are on record of radical cures of chronic
catarrh and hay fever after all other modes
of treatment had proved of no avail.

The State Changers of Nebraska,
Indiana, Illiuoise and Pennsylvania
have sent to Congress strong petitions
asking for removal of the tariff on
iron, lumber, salt, sugar, wool and
wooden goods. In one of these petit
tions it is stated that in the six years
from 1880 to 1886, eighty-seven of
the richest agricultural districts in H.
linois suffered an actual loss of popu-
lation and of $50,000,000 on their
corn crops, showing that the farmers
not only made nothing in this period,
but lost their work. 1t is further
stated that farms are fast passing un-
der mortgage, and their nominal own
ers being reduced to the condition of
the Irish tenantry-a condition which
grows out of the policy of compelling
husbandmen to pay protection duties
for the enrichment Of manufacturers.
1t is unjust, they say, to force farmers
to sell their crops in open market in
competition with similar crops raised
by cheap labor in other parts of the
world, while manufacturers are pro-
tected from competition by protective
duties of 20 to 100 per cent.-St.

DAYTON, New. Feb. 9Th. 1888.
ED. TIMEs:-A very timely aad sensible
article appeared in ysur paper Of the 4th in.
stance On "Coun , Finances" While it is
net my disposition to find fault, we must I'D
nit that great and petent errors in county
Legislation have been made. In order to re.
gain this loss and place rs where We should
be financially, our worthy County Assessor
must stand il the breach and assess every
particle Of property he can in the county.
As suggested BY ysu the time to begin wsrk
is at hand and the Assessor has already
buekled on his armor for the fray. No
property in the county should escape taxa.
tirn and every man liable under the law
should be made to pay psll tax. Our As.
SCISSOR is capable, and has the power, ability
and judgment to increase the assessment over
former years, we believe, thus giving the re.
lief 90 much needed. II the property Of this
County is assessed at rs per cent. OF it's cash
value for the next two years We shall be in q
health condition financially. A great deal
depends on eur Assessor, and the writer has
confidence in his ability in this matter Of as
cessing property at correct valuation. An
equal valuation with an upward tendency
is what We wantto help Us out.
