STATE TO HATCH
ITS FISH EGGS
Game Warden Sharp to Build
Hatchery at Once.
WILL SAVE MANY DOLLARS
AT PRESENT ALL EGGS ARE
SHIPPED FROM THE EAST.

A nursery for the Matching Of trout
eggs is to be established at the state
fish hatchery by Fish and Game Com
missioner John Sharp. It is 10 be built
and maintained along such generous
lines as to save the state hundreds Of
dollars every year on the cost Of native
and eastern brook trout, and may If
Commissioner Sharp's plans work out
as contemplated, be the source Of an
income to the state in years to come.
Under the present conditions it costs
the state almost $1,000 for every 1000
900 eastern brook trout eggs il pur-
chases from the nursery in Boston. At
one time the eggs cost S1.50 per 1000,
but in recent years the price has
dropped to about so cents per j. 900,
packed and ready for shipment. Add
ed to that is the cost of eXpressage from
Boston. Commissioner Sharp proposes
to supply the state with eggs from its
own nursery, and ais time advances sell
eggs to other states in the west or to
private individuals. as the case may be.
Revenue to the State.
Another source of possible revenue to
the state from the nursery viii be the
sale of the fish from which the eggs are
gathered, after they reach the age
when 70 will be more advantageous 10
supplant them by younger ones. Should
it be deemed inadvisable for the state
to go into the retail and wholesale FISH
business, the large trout will be placed
in the rivers. creeks and streams Of the
state. the same as are fry distributed
today.
Commissioner Sharp's scheme pro-
vides fr four or five pods, witch are
at the hatchery, being stocked with
fish which viii be kept simply for eggs.
Each pond will be emptied once
IL IN
fry. BY such a method each pond will
be emptied once in so many years, at a
time when ft viii have been found adj
vantageOus to cast aside the old fell
lows for the younger ones, keeping the
latter until their days of usefulness
have come.
Commissioner Sharp figures that it
viii require about 10000 grown trout to
supply the state each year with the
requisite number Of eggs for the hatch
cry. Half Of them viii be males and
the other females.
Lays Many Eggs.
As general thing. the female trout
lay about l,000 eggs after they have be-
come grown. The first year the num-
Der ranges from about fifty to possibly
500-seldom over the latter amount
When the trout is in its natural haunt
a stream-the percentage of Matching IS
about 200 eggs out of 1000. In a nur-
sery the percentage will be practically
every egg.
Already Commissioner Sharp has seq
regated several hundred large trout for
his nursery. The first year he does not
hope 70 secure a sufficient number Of
eggs TO supply the demand. but by the
second or third year the nursery will be
in such running order as TO supply the
state with as many eggs as the present
hatchery can handle. And the cost viii
be considerably less than half of what
the state is now put to for its eastern
and native trout eggs.

HARTMAN TO OISPLACE NEGRO PORTERS
WITH WHITES ON UNION PACIFIC CARS

For the good of the service" Presi-
dent Z. II. Hartman has decided to
employ only white porters on the
Union Pacific chair cars in operation
between Ogden and Omaha. The rea-
son for this action, as stated, is thar
for some time past the passenger de-
partment Of the Union Pacific has We
ceived complaints that the negro pOr-
ters were impudent and inattentive to
their duties except when in receipt Of
liberal tips"
The change viii only affect the por-
tiers on the chair cars. for the Pullman
company owns and operates all of the
sleeping cars on the Hartman roads
and employs its own porters. Tt is
possible, however, in case the change
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1903-12-08

is successful, white pOrters may be
employed by the Pullman company
also. The dismissal of the negro pOr-
tiers is MADE in the nature of an eX-
pertinent, for il is possib that the
white men may show the same avidity
for tips" as the colOred porters.
A recent dispatch from New York
said that white men would replace the
negro pOrters on an sleeping and par
Tor cars on the Union Pacific. but the
statement is only partially correct. Su-
perintendent Lincoln of the Pullman
company, when seen in San Francisco
in regard to the matter. said that his
company contemplated no such change.
so it is probable that the order viii
only apply to those men employed on
the chair cars.
