THE DAYS TOPICS.

and b. Chaplain, of the United States fish
commission, were at The Helena inst even
ing. They have been travelling through
western and southw estern Montana looking
at desirable locations for a fish hatchery
which the government will establish either
in Wyoming or Montana. The Only section
of Wyoming in which it is possibleto locate
Il hatchery is in the northern part of the
state which is yet to be visited. AS this
country is lacking in railway facilities the
hatchery will in all probability De located
in Montana.

In the course of al interesting chat last
evening Mr.. Fvermann snid that the com
mission would yet visit Neihart, the Yellow
stone and Gallatin rivers and the Yellow
stone park where they will inspect several
thousand trout planted in the lakes there
a few years ago. Yesterday they went ont
to the fine rancho of MIR. W. 3. Childs at
East Helena whe Q they found many of the
conditions required for a successful hatch
cry. There is pure cold water
with ground drainage flowing at
1000 gallons a minute. This can
be doubled if necessary. The Temperature

fish could be easily transported by rail
from this place. 1t is therefore quito pos
slble that Helena may receive the location.
Mr.. Everman is greatly pleased with Swan
lake in the Elathead country, which will be
accessible when the Great Northern road is
finished through that country. A dozen or
more locations will be reported for the Gull
ture of eight species of trout, and from
these the commissioner will make a choice.

The name of j. H.. Eddy, the alleged
forGer of the Davis will, was on The Hele-
mas register last evening. The signature
was written by Clerk Tibbitts at MIR. Eddy's
request. Just why this WAS requested is
not known, as Mr.. Eddy could not be
found later. Several people from Eldon,
Iowa. who will testify in the Davis case, are
also at The Helena.

1t is probable that Sunday closing SO far
as barber shops are concerned will soon be
a thing of the past. Burnett's shop has
wlthstood the boycott, and it is said that
one of tho shops on upper Main street is
open on Sunday. The Journoymen
Barbers' union quietly sent out a delega-
ton to learn if the boss BARRIERS would con-
sent to close at s o'clock each evening in
stead of nine and run four hours on Sun
day. This matter is now under discussion.
1t is likely that the offer will be accepted.
