DEATH RATE TOOLOW
Superintendent Porter Thinks
There Must Be Some Mis-
take About Spokane.
He Wants New Statistics, and
Delays tho Payment Of the
Enumera.ors.

a number of the enumerators who
took the census of this city are
meeting with UNNECESSARY delay in
receiving their pay, which certainly
was menger and we'll earned.
Superintendent Porter Is at the
bbttom of this delay. He declares
that the death rate of Spokane Falls
Is away below the average of the
United States. This seems to worry
the superintendent, who now insists
that the death statistics be recon-
piled, and that the enumerators
find n larger percentage than that
first returned.
"I am weary Of this whole affair"
said Chief Enumerator Carson to n
REVIEW reporter yesterday. "It has
taken great deal of my time, and
just when | had begun to think
that the task was completed re-
ceived letter from Superintendent
Porter declaring that the death rate
Is too low-far short of the general
average of the United States--and
he wants it Investigated. At the
same time he declares that the ac-
counts OF the enumerators will not
be audited until this work is done
to his satisfaction.
"While the amount due them liz
not great, some of the men need
their pay, and they ought to get 1t.
| hardly know what to do with this
demand, Already / have spent "a
good deal of time running about
after the information. or course
the statistics are correct, but how
am to convince the census bureau
of that, I'd like to know?"

Mr.. f.. II. Laughbon, just returned
from the East, has accomplished IA
great feat in bringing from the
southern part of Kansas quite
variety and number of young fish
for the purpose of stocking Silver
lake, the Medical Lake Ledger says.
Mr.. Laughbon is firm believer in
the fact that there Is not another
body of water so adapted to the
maintenance and raising of game
fish as Silver lake. For years he
has been in communication with
the fish commissioners, and has
used every device and argument to
persuade them to stock the lake
with game fish, but to no purpose.
Nothing but promises and excuses.

himself to supplying his wants by
personal efforts, and us result
brought out at considerable expense
and great trouble aud care lot of
young fish.
The varieties are: The large
mouthed black bass, the channel
catfish, the Mississippi yellow cat
fish and the bull head catfish, all
Of them game fish.
The first three named are for Sill
yer lake while the latter Is intended
for Otter lake, or better known as
Island lake.
The black bass came from the
Walnut river, Southern Kansas,
while the others were caught in the
Arkansas river, also in the extreme
southern part of Kansas. The
bringing OF these fish was II great
undertaking and 1t was generally
predicted that he would not succeed.
Mr.. Laughbon states that they re-
