FISH.
STATE FISH COMMISSIONER BAR
RETT SAYS FISH PLANTED IN
STATE WATERS ARE DOING
vyrNY = 81

WELL.
State Fish Commissioner Barrett
makes the following report. of the con-
dition Of planted fish:
The planted fish of our state are now
receiving attention from my depart
ment. The hot weather has caused
rapid evaporation, reducing the lakes
materially, nevertheless, the fish are
generally found in most favorable con-
ditions and making good growths. The
trout grow rapidly and by. reason of
many eggs at the spawning season,
they are multiplying in increasing
numbers.
On August % l inspected Spiritwood
lake, located near fifteen miles north
east from Jamestown. When the
water is at it's normal height it extends
a number of miles but now i, is lin
tied to near three miles, with a width
of from a half to three-quarters Of a
mile. In some places it is now from
40 to SO feet deep. This year the hot
winds and drouth has lowered the
water a number of feet, six feet, it is
claimed. Yet the fish planted from
year to year in that body of water were
discovered to be very healthy, active
and constantly increasing in size. The
lake has its source of supply largely
from pure spring water. The springs
enter the lake in many places from the
north side, but lone could be discov-
cred on the south side. 1t is a noted
and most charming summer resort,
numerous cottages appearing along it's
high banks. Many row boats are
found at the stations, some being op-
Grated by gasoline engines. The
shores in many parts are thickly stud
ded with large rocks lifted, to a large
extent, from the shallow parts Of the
lake by means of the winter ice, which,
under the influence of the winds in the
spring, forces them to the shore. All
these GRANTEES are incrusted with snow
white lime, making a most novel scene.
The trees consist of oak, box elder, ash,
blackberry, people, elm, juneberry,
chokecherry, and numerous bushes.
These grow along the sides of the up
lands. The dark back ground of green
bluffs, and slanting valleys between,
and leafy trees, the belts of frost COW
cred rocks along the murmuring waves,
and the broad expanse of clear crystal
water, give the sweetest charms to all
who love nature in her most romantic
entertainments. Hence many visitors
seek recreation and sport at this fav-
orite Wonderland" where, with the
pole and line, the following kinds of
fish can be captured: Pickerel, pike,
perch, buffalo, bass croppies, catfish,
etc. Last spring the writer secured
a carload of fish, (making the seventh
carload Of fish deposited in our state
waters during the administration of
the writer) for II state, and on Aug.
1 the car arrived and a large INSTALL
ment vas furnished to spiritwood lake,
which fish, I found, were doing we'll,
for they could be seen in different parts
Of the lake.

full cures which have been made by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham a do
oil she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There isno more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma.
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and c%onfidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
OF her great experience with the suf-
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so we'll. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
OF Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
Ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,

Times: "The republican party Of
North Dakota make mistakes?" quer-
led a travelling man the other day, as
If settling in his mind the intent Of an
implied allegation by one with whom
he was conversing. why, certainly
it has mades mistakes; its members
would be hardly human IL they didn't.
I'll tell you though, where are some
of the most serious ones that I recall,
and I think history will bear me out
in my conclusions. One of the worst
mistakes it ever made, one Of the worst
mistakes, I may say, that a party usu-
ally can make-is in reversing itself
at the polls. North Dakota has al
ways been a republican state; it is al
ways recognized as being 80. No other
party has ever had a predominating
constituency here and probably none
other will ever have. You know how
the Shortridge administration won in
1S92-not because the people were in
'clined toward democracy or populism
but because some republicans were
sore-resentful. What was the re-
suit? An administration was foisted
upon the commonwealth that had
neither a unifying purpose, o a nat
ural constituency to whom it might be
responsible. It was, in short, a fu-
sion administration fol, Office and rev.
enue only. Its members were politi-
cal aliens to one another and Ishmael-
ties to the power which had created
them-without ~fraternal regard for
themselves or filial obedience to the
voters who politically their
makers.
What did they do?
"They gobbled everything in sight
for themselves and their relatives.
"They lowered the railroad assess
ments instead Of raising them.
"They appropriated state interest
money to their own personal uses.
"They left the state in unprece-
denied financial straits.
"They boosted the opponents of re-
publicanism wherever they could, and
returned scant thanks to the repub-
licans through whom they were helped
into office.
Then they fought among them
selves and have been as u%nfriendly
ever since as-well, as unfriendly as
North Dakota republicans should be to
a fusion administration"
"Yes, North Dakota republicans
have made other mistakes. One of
them was in letting their votes elect

ate in '93. You remember him. It
has been only a short time since his
term expired, but to all intents and

North Dakota was concerned, Roach
expired Immediately after he went to
Washington. He was known there as
the representative of the District of

without a constituency in this state.
Owing allegiance to none, he repre-

When the Somerset Railroad started
from Oakland to Bingham over thirty
years ago the towns along the route in
Guiding Solon,. Bingham and Embden
voted TO loan their credit for building the
same Within a year Scion and Bing-
ham rescinded their vote and law sun
followed as the railroad company COM
menced suit against the town OF Scion
for the amount of their loan $50, 900
The town employed counsel to defend
their case and beat the toad, costing the
town about s. 900 for lawyers and court
expenses. AS Solons was test case,
Bingham was not put to the expense of
law suit. Embden issued bonds TO the
amount of $40, 900. The town neglected
to provide means for the payment OF
coupons when due and suit was brought
by the holders of the bonds to compel the
payment of the same. The case was car
ried up to the u. s. Supreme Court and
cost the town hundreds of dollars without

Some years ago, largely through the
efforts of the lale T. F. Boothby, the
holders of the bonds were induced to ex-
change them for town orders bearing 4
per cent interest for so cents on dollar.
Over 10 years ago the pulp mill was built
at Caratunk Falls on the Embden side
and the town voted to exempt it from
taxation for ten years. The time has ex-

is about one third of the whole valuation
of the town it now becomes great help
to the tax payers. Over S. 900 tax was
paid by the mill the past year and the

pay off the holders of their orders who are
not ready to take ) per cent interest
Most of them have agreed to take that
