OBITUARY..

Mrs. LAvINA CHAMBERLIN hINd was
born Jan. 10, 1881, in Cataraugus county,
N. Y. At an early date she was LEFT
motherless. In 1850, near the place OF
her birth, she was united in marriage to
Edgar King. Death separated this
union in 1888, after a family OF two boys
aud four girls had been reared to man
hood and womanhood. Twice during
the late war the father left his home and
young wife to respond to his country's
call for soldiers. Mother King also in
member of the police board Of New
York City. Mother King and daughter,
Alpha went to Greeley, in the fall OF 1875
for the mothers health and came to
Rocky Ford last fall where the daughter
was employed as one OF the primary
teachers Of the public schools. Novem-
Der %, 1897 both presented certificates
of membership to the NJ. e. church in
Rocky Ford. Surely Mother King was
good, kind, cultured Christian woman,
useful in life, beautiful in death.

H. g. Bourne, e1-Deputy County
Clerk, has been engaged as bookkeeper
for the Melongrowers association and
engages to do all the work-the asso-
citation to employ no assistants.
Thirty years ago the town of Fair
field, ILL.,, elected No License board Of
councilmen. At each succeeding elec-
tion the same policy has prevailed. For
much Of this time the sentiment in favor
Of saloons was 30 weak that no attempt
was made to place license ticket In the
field. At the late election the question
Of license was voted on as a separate is
sue. The vote stood: For saloons 142,
against 267. Fairfield maintains two
successful home Building and Loan As
sociations. The money OF wage earners
has gone into these associations instead
of into the saloons money drawer, and
the result is that, as rule, the hnmblest
laborer swns his own cottage. Further
more, Fairfield has more md better
sidewalks than any license town In that
part Of the state. Here is an example
worthy Of extensive following.

WEALTH FROM THE WATERS.
By the 0J.000 FishePnen
In Canada.

Since the inception Of the bounty sys-
TEN s2,es0,ooo has been paid to encour-
nge Canadian fishermen in developing
the deep sen fisheries OF Canada. Cam
ada's fisheries are the most extensive
in the world. The eastern sea coast
Is given Us 5000 miles, and that Of Brit
ish Columbia Us 7,1s0 miles, or more
than double that of Great Britain and
Ireland. While the salt water area, not
including indentations, covers more
than 1,500 square miles, the fresh water
area of that part of the great lakes
belonging to Canada is computed ut 72,.
100 square miles. not including the nu-
mcrous lakes OF Manitoba and the terri
tories, all stocked with excellent spe-
cics of food fish. In 1887 It wns esti-
mated that the sea and inland fisheries
were worth sl,50O.0oo. In 1897 they had
reached 20.40O,oOO. In bait alone It is
estimated that the value of fish used is
s:,i. .633 year. Our output Of fish oil
last year was worth s2s0.O00. The seal
skin catch was S520.a5o. The salmon
catch shows nn increase of over $780,
COO, and the herring catch an increase
of 100000. The sartline catch fell Off
somewhat. Between .hc years 1860 and
1907 inclusive the f'-e principal com
mcrcinl fisheries have yielded as fol-
lows: Cod, S1o6, 6,i33,2l7; herring, $751;
373.04a; Holsters, S4s,08i, 800; salmon,
Sij,'4o,47o; mnckcrcl. S37,5so.s35.
Over $4,000 men were engaged in the
fishery industry in the past year, and
the total capital wus over s9.750, 900.
Besides the 1000 fishing schooncrs md
tugs, valued Mt s2,0Oo,000, manned by
9.I35 sailors, 65,50O fishermen, using
35,400 boats, valued ut over 81 900, 600,
toiled on the great deep for liveli-
hood, using altogether 6,344,4 AGO faith
oms OF nets. The lobster plant for
1897 amounted to s1.ll4,92o. This rep
rcsents the 665 canning establishments
dispersed throughout the maritime
provinces, and 100000 traps required
to keep them going. Over $4,000 per-
sons find employment in this branch of
the industry.
The number Of United States vessels
taking advantage of the modus vivendi
licenses was nearly so per cent. less
than during the season of 1896. Only
one seizure was made during the year.
About 200,OO0,OO0 fry were Matched and
successfully distributed, some O,OOO,-
900 OF which were young Holsters. Dur
ing the last five years the value of the
Canadian fisheries has but slightly
varied above $50, 600, ,0OO.-Chicago 20 Inter

1t is said that the lightning rod men
recently operating in Prowers, Bent and
Kiowa counties received between 5000
and $4,000 in school warrants as result
Of their campaign.-Exchange.
1t was not legitimate business.
Since the counties of Prowers, Bent
and Kiowa were organized it is not prob
able that $40 worth of damages have
been inflicted by lightning in the entire
three counties.
The experience Of many years had
proved that the school houses needed no
lightning rods.
What reason then did the school di-
rectors have for n useless expenditure oi
from 5000 to $4,000?
Such reckless and wholly inexcus-
able outlay Of the peoples money is ex.
plainable on only two theories:
1. The school boards lacked in bust
ness judgment and allowed skillful
professional canvasser to talk them into
signing imprndent and unjustifable or.
ders. Or.
2. There was "rake of" for the
school directors-a good fat commission
going into the pockets of one or more Of
the board-the bill for the rods being
made high enough to pay the unfaithful
officers.
The adoption OF one of these two theo-
ries is the only way to account for al.
lowing lightning rod outfit to get $4,000
OF the peoples money-practically for
NO return whatever.
