and very strong. They will grow very
rapidly, and within two or three years,
when they are ready to go to sea, will
weigh from five to six pounds. These
hsh grow to enormous size, often reach
Ing forty pounds.
There are good feeding and spawning
grounds for these fish In Union river and
its tributaries, and Supt. Race sees no
reason, IL the tishways are provided, why
the fish should not become a permanent
habitsnt OF these waters, and source OF
profit and pleasure to people in this
vicinity.
Another matter which should be at
tended to Is the projection OF he fish for
two or three years, giving them time to
engraft themselves upon these waters
After they have gone to sea and returned
to spawn once, the State law and their
own wariness will give them protection
enough, but the fish will be large enough
next year to take hook, and unless pro-
tected the fishermen will make heavy in
roads upon them. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the fish and game commission
ers will be petitioned to enact special laws
to protect these fish until they go to sea-
About $1,000 golden trout or American
saibiing have been Matched at Green
Lake hatchery, and half OF these were
planted in the lake. Supt. Race Will try
raising the others for spawning. This
fish is found in but two lakes in this
country-one in New Hampshire, and
Floods pond in this county. 1t is a
beautiful fish, very gamy, and inha bits
very cold water.
AT GREEN LAKE HATCHERY
over two million trout and salmon fry
have been Matched out this spring. A
shipment of p 900 steeI-h trout eggs
from Texas WAS received. but owing to
poor packing, the greater part OF them
WIS spoiled. OF the lot, Supt. Race
thinks he has saved about 200, and these
are now patching.
At CRAIG's BROOK HATCHERY.
The fish commission car, which had
been distributing fry from Green Luke
Archery, went from here to Craig brook
hatchery. Two million Atlantic salmon
fry, and about the same number OF Pacific
salmon, are being distributed from this
hatchery in Penooscot and keunebec
waters.

MIST HAVE FISHWAYS.
WITHOUT THEM, UNION RIVER
WILL HAVE NO SALMON.
NEWS FROM GREEN LAKE AND CRAIG s
BROOK HATCHERIES- GOLDEN
TROUT IN GREEN LAKE.

Fishways must be placed in all dams
on Union river; without them, the at
tempt to stock Union river with Column
his river salmon will be a failure
THE AMERICAN has already recorded
the planting OF salmon fry in tributaries
Of Union river. In two years these fish.
which grow very rapidly, will want to go
to sea, according to their habit. They
will find it easy work going down the
river over the dams but when they re-
turn to spawn-and they invariably re-
turn to the place where they were planted
they will be unable to get up over the
dams unless hshwsys are provided, and
SO will be lost to Ellsworth.
Thus 1t will be seen that immediate
steps must be taken to provide these fish
ways. 1t is understood that the mill
owners on the river will make no objec-
ton to putting in the hshways, proyid-
ing they do not cost more than 800 or
800 each and it is believed the cost will
not exceed those figures. committee
from the board OF trade has sent for an
engineer to come here and look at the
dams, and he has been expected Tor some
time, but has not yet put in All appear
ance There are five dams in the main
river in which ti-hways should be built
There is already tishway in the dam in
Patterns pond stream, in which some fish
were planted.
Supt. Race. OF the Green Lake fish
hatchery has had excellent success with
these fry. He received from he Pacific
coast eggs estimated Mt one million.
These Matched out splendldly Mt Green
Lake hat hery, aud estimating II loss OF
five per cent, which i, very small, there
would be 100000 fry. Supt Race, how
ever, believes hat tie number Of eggs he
received was undere-timated, and that,
Judging by the number Of Try in the
troughs at the hatchery, he has di-trib-
uted no less than l.20Jooo fry, over one
million OF which went into the tributaries
Of Union river. \ mixed lot OF Pacific

Drummer Condor Lands "a Queer Fish

Drummer Condor Lands a Queer Fish
George Condor, the boot and shoe
drummer, who has many friends in Els
worth, is still passing around the cigars
on that tin bullfrog.
1t happened in this way. Condor was
fishing, at Grand Lake, down near Calais,
one day last week. 1t was foggy and
rainy, and the fish did not seem to be
coming Condon's way. Under cover OF
the fog, some Of the boys slipped up
behind the boat from waich Condor was
fishing, and picking up his line which was
trolling far astern, quietly attached an
immense tin bull-frog.
When Condor felt a tag at his line he
thought he had an eight-pounder, and
he played" his prize with the skill of a
born fisherman. Several her fishermen
gathered about his boat to watch the
gallant fight, and when that queer fish
was landed, the yell that went up startled
Washington county folk into believing
that The Shore Line was coming.
But that bull-frog story is travelling
faster than the Shore Line, and when
Condor strikes Ellsworth he will find
it here ahead OF him.

Ellsworth Nigh Loses to Cherryfeld
Academy In an Eleven-Iuning Game.
The ba7e bail team, OF Cherryfeid acad
envy and Ellsworth high school played
a snappy eleven-inning game at Wyman
park last Saturday afternoon. The aead-
envy Won by score of II to ID.
The high school lost the game by field
ing errors. In one inning only did
Dunn's twIrling arm have glass in it,
Tin, MS in the eighth, when the visitors
made three safe hits and We're given three
hsse- on balls. Tins With an error by
Cherry field Was responsible for five
runs.
The score by innings viii show that the
game Vas anybody's until the eleventh
had been played. The score was 10 to II
in Cherrytelds favor in the ninth, when
Eils~ orth tied them, the two runs being
made by tue Stock bridge brothers, on
Singles by Albert StUckbridge and
Fernaid, and base on errors, the two
men crossing the plate on Fernald's hit.
Ellsworth hopes we're dashed when Capt.
Damn retired the side with pop fly to
Marsh. TIE score below tells the rest of
the sad story.
The features were the fine work for the
high school OF Capt. Dunn and Theodore
Higgins, hard foul catch by Campbell

the ali-around hard work done for

Two months ago Merrill lost his posi-

He tried hard to ind other employment.
When he left Detroit he had only two
dollars and a large sum of courage. He
walked the greater part OF the way, and
at other times managed to steal rides on

a chance to work in any of the cities he
visited he did so, and thus obtained funds
enough to buy food. When he arrived at
