Denver. May 22.-In an interview
published in the News, State Game and
Fish Commissioners J. M. Woodard
gives an interesting interview on the
work Of the fish hatcheries of the
state.
Mr.. Woodland began by saying that
when he took control of the hatcheries
April LIST, his first step was to put in
Office a general superintendent of the
hatcheries who was experienced in
this line. He appointed to this Office
w. s. Kincaid, who has spent the
greater part of his life in fish cultural
work at our state hatcheries. The next
move was to place Charles Dowdell in
charge as superintendent of the state
hatchery at Denver; w. E. Patrick as
superintendent of the state hatchery
at Durango. and S. e. Land, fish cul-
turist, in charge as superintendent Of
the state hatchery at Gunnison. All
these men are experienced in the
practical and scientific work of this
department.
During the last four weeks the
work done at these institutions has
been successful to a marked degree"
said Mr.. Woodard, especially the work
done at the Gunnison hatchery in TAX
ing the eggs of the rainbow trout. On
April Gath an egg-collecting or field
spawning station was established on
the North Beaver creek within 100
yards of the mouth, where it empties
into the Gunnison. At this place 5000
breeding trout were captured. and l.
$4,000 eggs have been taken. The fish
when stripped, we're returned to the
river and were not injured in ham
ding.
There are now in the fish pens at
this place about 500 trout, from which
eggs have not been taken, but they are

Governor Peabody's advisory board
on May 23rd received the complaints
of the Federation of Miners for the Col
orado City Millmen's Union, the state
ments of the mill owners, denying
that the peace agreements had been
violated, and adjourned without date.
The Federation is still to present a
written statement supporting its claim
that the agreement between President
Meyer of the Federation and Manager
Mcneil of the United States Reduction
Company has not been observed. When
this is in the hands of the advisory

that a gymnasium In penitentiaries

all work that would in any way COM

the reunion, with 2,423 properly ac-
credited delegates.
The report of the Battle Abbey COM
mittee was then offered by General
Evans. He had read but few words
when General Joseph Wheeler entered
the hall. The delegates cheered a
welcome to the little commander, and
General Wheeler, after reaching the
rostrum, made a short address of
thanks for the welcome. He urged
upon his hearers the necessity of pro-
viding for the needy and aged soldiers
of the Confederacy.
General Evans then resumed the
reading of his report, which showed
cash in hand and in immediate pros
pect of $204,471.
The committee recommended that as
$500, 900, the minimum amount desired
for the erection of the Abbey, had
been secured, the time had arrived for
the commencement Of the work. The
report was adopted.
DR.. G. H. Tichenor. for the Southern
memorial ASSOClauOn, reported tndt
the fund for the erection of a monu-
ment to Jefferson Davis had been final
ly secured. The announcement was
received with tremendous applause.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported favorably on a resolution re-
ported by General S. d. Lee. express
ing the appreciation of the Confederate
Veterans to Congress and to Secretary
of War Root for the offer of the ma
tional government to prepare a roster
of all the soldiers OF both sides during
the Civil War.
General Joseph Wheeler spoke
strongly in favor of the resolution.
saying he had the assurance of the
secretary of war that all original doc
uments sent to the War Department
would be copied carefully and re-
turned. The resolution was adopted.
The selection Of the place for the re-
union of 1904 was left to the executive
committee.

NAVAL STORES.

Friday. April 10.
In observance of Good Friday the
Board of Trade was closed to-day, and
no official prices were posted. Trad
ing upon a moderate scale was done
on the outside, however, with soc paid
for turpentine. The demand was not
urgent. but was sufficient to induce
exporters to pay the previously fixed
price.
Much attention is being attracted to
the movement of turpentine at pres
ent, and the more so since no settled
opinions exist as to just which way
the product will seek an outlet. For
a time it was thought all the Florida
stuff would go out through the ports
of that state, but the fact it is coming
to Savannah for export upon a con-
siderable scale is somewhat uneXpect-
ed in some quarters. 1t may have been
foreseen' by those bringing it here.
Discussing the outlet the opinion is
expressed by the local trade that Sa-
vannah may get much of the stuff to
be exported, and especially if freight
rates are such as to bring shipments
this way. An abundance of freight
room at reasonable rates is an argu-
ment they claim it will be hard for
competitors to combat successfully.

Uesume of the Markets for the
Week.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, April 10.
The leading markets were closed to-
dav. and in the absence of official quo
tations as a guide, trading generally
was suspended. The closing of the eX-
changes also precluded the posting of
the weekend figures that usually come.
ont on Fridays. The figures on the
cotton and naval stores movements at
savannah were posted, however. and
these are given under their headings
below.
Since the naval stores season has
opened and the movement of these
PRODUCTS started interest centers in
the course they are to take, what per
cent. will go to ports south of here and
what will continue to come to SaVan
nah for local and foreign handling. The
raceipts of both spirits and resins show
falling off for the week as compared
to last year. The arrival of turpentine
in considerable quantities from Florida
noints for the account of local export
ers leads to the belief strongly enter
tanned in some quarters that this may
vet continue the leading point for ex-
porting, as. we'll as the basis market
for the sale of these products.
How turpentine may come to Savan-
nah from below is a question that is
receiving much attention from the
trade Among shipping men there is
AN idea the ocean liners may touch at
Florida ports for naval stores, then
proceed here for their regular cargo.
Then bringing the products here by the
trainoad is spoken of as among the
possible ways of taking advantage of
local facilities for exporting. This will
be no new venture in transporting the
products, for Jacksonville concerns
have frequently made deliveries by for
Warding the stuff here in trainload
lots 1t is argued that bringing it on
in this manner would be to the ad
vantage of shippers for the reason that
the trains could be shifted near he
steamers, as in the case OF phosphate
rock receipts, and loaded direct from
the cars into steamers.
Neither the spot nor the f. o. b. cot
ton markets showed any material
change during the week. For time
it was thought that a sharp demand
would be felt for spot cotton as a re-
suit of the expected pinch of May
shorts at New York for supplies to
tender on contracts. This did not come,
however, and the week closed without
feature. In the f. o. b. market the de-
mand was fair with the offerings linn
tied.
