with this fish. They will be placed in three
small streams flowing into the Battenkill. near
Arlington. Vt The Battenkil! joins the Hud-
son at Northum berland. and the passage from
the small streams to the ocean Is unob-
Erncted except by. a fall on the BAttenkill.

S.iLVlTION ARMY PLANS.
The New Headquarters to he y Saving, Not
an ExtrnvRganee.


Tho officers Of the Salvation Army say their
new building in Fourteenth street. near Fourth
avenue is going to be a great saving OF money
to the Army instead OF an extravaganza. Mr..
Henry Winant. tho man in charge Of the build
isg department Of the Army. said yesterday
that the building would cost $4,000. Tho
ground would cost $4,000. and the whole
amount could stand on mortgage. There are
men ready to put up the money. he said. The
whole lower floor Is to be let for store pur-
poses. and real estate agents have guaranteed
sufficient rent to pay the interest on the. mort
Fase and leave & surplus Of nearly S6.O 900 The
Army pays $1,000 year for its present head
quarters in Reade street. Relieved OF this ex-
pense by tho new building. it will be able to
spend the whole $4,000 surplus in charity or
to extend the work.
One OF the advantages Of the proposed new
mense auditorium. where Army MS meetings can
30 held. The Army has no suitable place TO
hold big meetings now, The furnishing Of the
plain. and not one cent would be wasted.

THAT ANTI-PINKERrON BILL.

SEATTLE, February q, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: / desire to call your
attention to the socalled "Anti.Pinkerton Bilp'
passed by the Senate at Olympia
While rejoice with my acknowledges
that the Pinkertons must and shall go, yet It y
plain to the dullest observer that the bill In it,
present form would not be constitutional. That
act prohibits property owners and corporations
from hiring or employing any armed guard or
Waterman to protect the same, consequently
Washington would become the refuge for all the
thugs and hobos Of the United States. For in
stance, the turbulent and vicious element very
often outnumber the friends Of law and order in
some communities but they are held in check By
the strong arm Of the law.
believe the bill 10 aimed 1t the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad Company for the hiring Of colored
men In their mines ct Roslyn. II 70, desire to
state, for the benefit OF the public, that the col
ored men make excellent coal miners. They
are ali natives of the United States and speak
the English language. some of them having
served in the Union army during the rebellion.
They are making as much wages Is any coal
miners on the Sound. / am sorry that our
young statesmen assembled at Olympia are not
more conservative than to open the gates for
rufiianism and anarchy. Why, II such . Law
was carried out 10 the letter, 1t would drive al
our enterprising capitalists out of the state,
leaving the impression that the state Of Wash
jngtou was not . good place to live in
1t IL not just for the people of this state to
suffer for the unwise policy of the Northern Pa
cifc or their shortsighted officials.

A NEIGHBoRING MUNICIPALITY.

The mayor of Victoria, B. c., has just
published his annusl report, and as the
Canadian city is so near a neighbor, it is
interesting to see how a colonial munich
pality conducts its business. The popula-
ton is about 3, 500, or just about half that
of Seattle. The total income from ordin-
airy sources for the year was $224, 723. or
just half the estimated revenue of Seattle.
The city pays its mayor $1,000 year,
and its nine alderman, three from each
ward, 500 year each. Its entire police
force cost $19,0ss, of which 4,9l4 was for
salaries; that of Seattle tor one month
alone is $7,O15. The fire department cost
only $751; 1t has chief, assistant,
three foremen and twenty-three men,
whose aggregate salaries amounted to
1914. The salaries for Seattle were SC, 132
for January alone. Victoria spent $47,257
on general street improvements.
The Canadian city has just issued $780,
900 in bonds, but has been unable to dis
pose of them on account of the stringency.
The treasurer reports that the amount of
delinquent taxes of all kinds has been
greatly reduced, and only few thousand
dollars remain outstanding. There is a
shortage in the water department due to
the reduction of the rate to 20 cents per
thousand gallons.
