bill is distribute the new hatcherfes in as
many States have no government hatcheries,
and only where special reason exists has the
committee placed a government hatchery in
State where already exists. By the CO.
operation Of the State and government fish cult
ural stations il is expected that there will be
a large increase in the supply Of fish. Many Of
the State stations are very extensive. The an
nual cost to the State Of Washington alone in
maintaining her stations is about 100000 The
House committee expressed the belief that COM
bined action of the federal and State authorities
will result in an adequate food supply TO supple
ment partially replace meats in the national
dietary.
1T the International Congress of Agriculture
and Fisheries held al Paris in 1900, it was de-
cided that Investigations should be pursued with
a view of supplying laboring people with
cheap article Of food. The solution Of the prob
lem is found in the fishing industry. which
not only furnishes cheap food TO the laboring
man but also gives employment IN the United
States to about seventy-fve thousand persons
There are nearly ten thousand persons employed
by the fisheries Of the Great Lakes alone. Some
icea of the vast amount Of money which the
fisheries of this country repI esent and the num-
Der Of persons they necessarily employ, can be
gathered from the latest available figures which

The movement for the re-esta bIishment of
the fisheries for salmon, shad and other ana
dromous species in American rivers, originated
in the action Of the legislatures of New -Hamp-

mari]y the fisheries Of the Merrirnac and Con-

States named were obliged TO obtain sa mon
eggs from the spawning beds Of Canada, and
these were Matched with a measure or 'uccess'
After few seasons the Canadian permits for
these operations were discontinued, and II was
necessary 10 look elsewhere Tor the supply OF
eggs. A plan was finally tried OF capturing a
supply Of adult salmon from the regular fish
cries in June, and holding them until October
or November. The possibility of confining them
without interfering with their reproductive
functions had not yet been esta ablshed but the
plaG finally adopted by the commissioners

breeding salmon attempted by the sstan-

Later the United States established a station

In view OF the enormous annual catch Of the
salmon for commercial purposes. the necessity
for its artificial propagation became manifest
al an early period in the history OF the Pacific
Coast fisheries. Fortunately. II is susceptible

results Of fish culture are easily shown by the

small lakes where trout never lived before,
have been stocked and as {. result the fishing

Washington. July y CSpeciaD.-The present
tgh price of meat and the prospect that the
win not be materially lowered in the fut-
have forcibly drawn the attention of Con-
SIS 10 the Importance Of fish as food. The
7sumption Of fish has greatly increased since
price OF meat began 70 rise above the reach
ordinary people. How long the present large
pply Of fish viii continue depends on whether
not the fisheries are carried on in such a
amer as 10 cause more destruction of fish life
IAN can be compensated for by the vast repro
uctive powers Of those dsh which escape the
rets and hooks OF the fishermen The steam
fishing boat and the canning factory have dealt
destruction on all sides, and had it not been for
artificial propagation carried on by the State
and government fish commissions there is little
doubt that many Of the fish now familiar 10 the
public would have almost or entirely disap-
reared.
The fishing interests Of the different States
have been urging Congress To increase the IA
cilities Of the Fish Commission. and as a result
there has been for the first time "A large number

Shreiff Collins is taking every pre-
caution to prevent the dangerous trio,
Price, Mcdonald and Tobin, from
breaking Jail at Wasecs. One day
after the prisoners had been given
their dinner, it was found that knife
was missing and search of the cells
resulted in it being found hid in one
of the beds. Since then the sheriff
closely examines the Jail every eve
ming and has taken other measures to
prevent Jail delivery. He has the
three desperadoes in the upper tier of
cells and the elder Kuyath, his con
and Barr on the Main floor. The
younger Kuyath stands a fair chance
of getting life sentence in the Still
water penitentiary and would doubt
less join the riot in an attempt to
break Jail. They will have to be up
and doing all the time if they escape
from the vigilance of Sheriff Collins.
If the prisoners could have retained
possession of the knife they would
have converted it into a file with
which they would have sawed the
bars off their cells and made break
for liberty. The trio will be taken to
New Ulm as soon as they serve their
sentence in Waseca county and will
be tried for the burglary committed
at Hanska.
