MILLIONS OF EGGS.
An Unprecedented Run of Nail-Eyed
Pike Reported In a Min
nesota Stream.

The greatest haul of fish eggs ever
made IN America, and probably in the
world, has just been completed by. the
state fish commission at Pike river,
north of Duluth, MINI. The commits
sioner returned few days ago with
Is cans Of eggs, which he Immediately
Sent to the state hatchery, near St. Paul.
These 10 cans contained 10000, 600 eggs
each, all apparently in good condition,
all artifcially taken from the females,
and all artiicially impregnated. 1t is
the experience of the hatchery that
about 80 per cent. of them will hatch,
and the commission expects 10 be able
to see 1O0,0o0,00o young wall-eyed pike
later among the rivers and lakes Of the
state.
Pike river is famed among fishermen
for It's spring runs Of fish TO the spawn
ing grounds. This spring during the
stay there of the egg gatherers the fish
were running SO plentifnlly that it was
difficult to navigate canoe, and per
son could reach out Of his boat and pick
up the fish as fast as he could throw
them into the boat. They seemed to
form a dense mass Of steadily moving
fish extending the width of the stream,
and within an inch or Two of the sur
face For a week the fish ran steadily
up stream in dense crowds, and many
millions must have passed the states
nets.
Besides the catch of wall-eyed pike
for the state the government hatchery
al Duluth annually requires 100,g0o,oO0
whitefish eggs and from 70,oo0,0o0 to
100,00O,oO0 eggs of various other yarie-
ties. The fish resulting from the hatch
ing OF all these vast numbers of eggs
are deposited almost entirely in waters
of Minnesota. With its 10000 lakes, its
200 miles of shore line along Lake SUI
perior and its network of rivers, the
state is an ideal one for fish propoga-
ton, and the commission has lately
mapped out a comprehensive scheme of
improvement under which, in a few
years, it is expected the water area Of
the state will produce more actual
wealth to the acre than the land area.

DEBT is GETTING AGED
BACK SALARY WHICH THE CITY
TEACHERS WANT
The Amount Is $4,000, and Repre-
SCENTS B., Per Cent of the Salaries
for June, IS9J--This Portion Was
Held Out by Permission, but Was
No Gift.

S. A. Farnsworth. president Of the
executive committee Of the Teachers
association, which body decided last
week to bring suit against the city of
st. Paul to recover the back salary
due them. is perfecting arrangements
on behalf of the association to bring
test case in the district court
What the teachers want is the
amount held out in June, 1885,
The books in the office Of the board Of
education. covering the period of the
school year of 1895, show that the city
saved by the reduction of SO per cent
Of all the teachers salaries, which was
made for the month of June, 1895, an
amount aggregating $24,27S.81.
a notice in red ink on the last page
Of the June salary hooks, distinctly
states that this was the amount saved
by the SO per cent reduction in salaries
for that month. Just below this nota-
ton is the signature of the former sec
fretary, j. F. Angel.
Mr. Bond said yesterday that the
amount due all the 526 teachers in ST.
Paul would hardly exceed $4,000
When asked about the notation on
the secretary's books, he stated, that
it was evidently a mistake, as $751; 900
which represented a 33 per cent reduc-
ton in their June. '95 salary, was all
that was due the teachers from the
penney by stating that the $24,27S.8i
must have been the amount which the
teachers were paid during that month,
and not the amount saved. According
to Mr.. Bonds version of the matter,
the teachers were paid 24,27S.S1, which
was $4,000 less than the regular con-
tract basis.
1t is this $4,000 that the teachers are
seeking to recover.
In September 1894, Judge .Willrich,
who was president Of the board at the
time went before a meeting of the
teachers and stated to them the en-
harrased condition of the educational
appropriation for the year, and said
that the board would pay them thu
salaries on the old basis as long as
the money lasted. but according to the
| computation Of the board their June
| salary would be short. The teachers
| thought the board acted in good faith,
| and when June came around they &C
| cepted the SO per cent reduction for
| that month without murmur. They
| did not expect, however, they were be-
| ing asked to make the city a present of
| the amount.
But they have not since been paid.
| One of the most important questions
| which will be raised in a test case, will
| be the validity Of teachers contracts.
| If the teachers contracts are valid the
teachers can collect the amounts due
| them without exception.
There is, it is claimed. some irregu-
larity in connection with the teachers
contracts for the year 1895. 1t is said
| that Comptroller McCardy's signature,
on the part of the city, was missing
from the 1895 contracts.
All these matters and many others
will be aired in court when the proper
| time arrives.
