One Needed Oh the SkOkOmiSh,

HAMILTON, Oct. LATTER three
months anxiety the superintendent of
the Baker lake hatchery, Mr.. John
Crawford, has succeeded in proving
what will power and experience can
do, selecting in that short space of
time the site for fish rack and build
ing of same, erecting the buildings up
on ground which had to be cleared off
the heaviest timber, and constructing
the buildings of whipsawed and split
lumber, building a dam and fume and
boats, completing large amount of
fish gear, and finally, most successful
ly filling the hatchery to it's present
full capacity with 6,OOO,0 900 of sockeys
salmon eggs; all going to prove the
old proverb of the right man in the
right place. Owing to the limited
funds at the disposal of the fish COM
missioner. the buildings could not be
completed to more than one-half their
capacity as outlined in the plans, but
when the returns are received from
these 5000, 900 salmon eggs, it will be
regretted that the appropriation for
the buildings had not been great
enough to construct them several times
larger. For years to come the fishing
fraternity of the Sound will feel CRATE
full to the energy and competence OF
such men as Mr.. James Crawford, the
fish commissioner, and Mr.. John Craw-
ford, the present superintendent, who
both have practical and scientific
knowledge of the salmon.

Prices i'm Past Centuries.

French statisticians have recently
complied history of agricultural
prices for the past six centuries.
Wheat started in at 25c bushel, adj
vanced to Coo in 1885, then dropped to
27c in 1900, advancing to $1.36 hun
dred years later, hung around a dollar
until 1850 when it averaged 75c but
then advanced to dollar at the OPEN
ing of this century reaching nearly 50
in 81, covering 1.O7 in IS and going up
LAO as the French average for 81.
Since then prices have declined.
Taking ST. as the average price
of wheat in 1860, it was up to
$1.16 as late as '82 in the United
States, the figures for 81 (the latest
made up) being: United States SO,
England IA, and Germany 80. Other
prices so closely follow wheat that it
is almost barometer of values. The
average value of % articles of food,
clothing and shelter that we're worth
100 in 1860, averaged for 1891 in the
United States "a, England 81, Ger
many 80, France 79' showing a gener-
al decline, due to increased and i'm
proved facilities for production. 1t
will be noted that the decline in the
United States is not so great as other
countries.

Washing the blood is the latest remedy

washing process is performed by plain salt
and water. From a pint to two quarts
OF water are injected into the system bv
means of an ordinary hypodermic syringe.
A vein is opened in the arm of the
patient with the usual antiseptic precau-
tons, and the salt water injected in large
doses. A profuse perspiration and general
activity of the secretory organs follows

Mill returns show gross value of
$500, 262.03, making a total output for
the year of 1891, 024S6. The total cost
of operation was S32,600.62. The 80
stamp mill ran $50 days and crushed
on an average of 6,81S pounds per
stamp per day.
The cost of mining and milling was,

milling, 1888 per ton, total OF $1S.S5
per ton. Four dividends were paid,
aggregafing 100000, or at the rate of
20 per cent. per annum upon the
capital stock of the company.
There is estimated to be uncovered
$4,000 tons of frst-class and 10000 IONS
Of second-class ore, while all parts of
