NIAGARA RIVER MUSCALLONGE.
Big Game and Abundant and Yet
Strangely Ignored by Anglers.


The Niagara river is the greatest
mUscailonge water in the country,
said Thomas Carter of Buffalo, state
game protector for Erie and Niagara
counties, "and yet eastern sports
men cross over it by the hundred
every season on their way to distant
and isolated places where musca+
longe fishing is not so good.
LAS a matter Of fact, that muscal-
longe could be caught in Niagara
river by trolling was not known to
local sportsmen until a few years
ago. When l came to Buffalo [ found
that the way they got muscallonge in
the Niagara river was by killing them
with dynamite or netting them and
hat no one ever thought Of fishing
or them with hook and line.
Il went fishing one day and came in
with eight muscallonge. The small
est one weighed 25 pounds. The
biggest one weighed 81 pounds-and,
by the way, that one holds the record
for Niagara river muscallOnge today.
had caught the fish by hook and line
and I didn't care whether they did or
not. I was having the greatest sport
any fisherman could find on the con-
tinent, and was satisfied.
But even after they found out
was really trolling for muscallonge
and catching them in that way the
local fishermen, with few exceptions,
did not seem to realize what grand
sport the river offered them.
The Niagara river muscallonge is
not the capriciOus creature as to lure
or bait that muscallopge Of other
waters are, and he has one excellent
Quality-he will not devour black bass
or perch, which abound in the river.
Besides the troll he will take readily
as bait the horned dace, the river
herring, the mullet and others of the
minor fishes.
TROLLING in my yacht on one of
my official trips one day last fall, I
hooked and landed four muscalIonge
while passing up the west side of
Navy island, and lost one within the
distance of half a mile The smallest
weighed ten pounds, the biggest one
seventeen.
During September last more than
300 muscallOnge were killed by troll
ing in the waters above Grand and
Navy Islands. New York Sun.

WESTERN CANADA AROUS!NG
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields Of Wheat At
tracing Thousands.

CraCC1ng thousands
Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area of grain-producing land lying
north of the 10th parallel, and tmme-
diately adjoining the northern boun-
diaries Of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware Of the wealth that lay there, but
being unable to fully occupy it, they
have asked the Americans to assist
them in converting the land from It's
virgin state to one that will largely
supplement the grain producing area
of the North American continent. And
the response has been most liberal.
During the year 1901, upwards Of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success Of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian government is not now being
directed towards giving information as
to the advantages of settlement in
Canada as it is to extending an invita-
ton to the American to follow those
who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been induc-
ed to take advantage of the offer CT
100 acres of land free in Canada, and
have nc cause to hesitate in cOntinu-
ing the invitation. Many of those in
terested say there are no more free
hOmesteads to be had in Canada, but
the writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one OF the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and it is probably the
best.
The Canadian Government has eS-
tablished agencies at st. Paul, Mimi
Omaha, Neb., Kansas City, Mo-, Chi
cagO, Ill, Indianapolis, Ind, MilWau-
kee, Wis, Wausau, Wis, Detroit, SauIT
Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich, To
ledo Ohio, WATERFOWL, S. D., Grand
Forks, n. D., and Great Falls, Mont,
and the suggestion is made that by ad-
dressing any of these, who are the au-
thOrized agents of the Government, 1t
will be to the advantage of the reader,
who will be given the fullest and most
authentic information regarding the re-
suits of mixed farming, dairying,
ranching and grain raising, and also
supply information as to freight and
passenger rates. etc.

HOUSES,

Some wear in grandeur, princely and
apart,
The imperial purple Of the builders
art;
Some lift their htgbbred foreheads in
the air.
The calm aristocrats of street and
square;
Some show the wisdom Of their days
well spent,
Free from the incubus Of discomfort;
Some, half dismantled, cling to humid
ground
In shodden gray Of poverty profound;
Some long dishonOred, crouch in
sin and CRIME,
The hopeless haUnts Of misery and
crime;
Some show matched roofs, or stand
in conscious pride
Above the quiet Of the countryside;
Yet in thronged cities, or in solitude,
All are but nests of a vast human
brood.

Amounts Paid by All Railroads OF
Wisconsin for Two Years.

Fees paid ......$1711,909d99 $1,72199 9$3. IS
In addition to the license fees the rail
roads of Wisconsin pay large sums for
taxes on property owned by Them but not
exclusively used for railroad purposes.
st. 2. R'y paid $40, 1885, and other roads
in proportion. In the year 1901 the pay
ment Of taxes of this character amounted
to $98, 59S, and it is safe to say that dur
ing 1902 they exceeded 100000. In addi-
ton to these sums large amounts are paid
in taxes by lessees of railroad property, one
lessee alone in Milwaukee paying $1286.76
in 1902.
There are fifty states and territories in
the United States, thirty-seyen of which
collect taxes on railroad property exclusive
ly in the direct form, called an ad valOrem
tax. The states that were an exception to
this general rule in 1901 were as follows:
Connecticut. Delaware, Illinois, Maine
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, New York New Jersey. Pennsylva-
MIA, Vermont and Wisconsin.
According to the report of the StatiStician
Of the interstate commerce commission for
1901, the states depending upon the ad
valOTem tax system exclusively, collected
So, 69S,078 i'll taxes or 1874, 313.74 miles of
railroad. or an average of $191.25 per mile
While the states of Illinois and New
York collect by far the larger portion of
their taxes in this direct form, they are not
included with the ad valOrem states be-
cause in Illinois the sums collected from
the Illinois Central are in large part Il pay
ment for land grants received from the
state payment being made in the form of
a tax on the gross earnings, and in New
York the major part Of the excise tax paid
by the railroads has been paid under pro-
test, and suits are now pending for its re-
covery. For this reason New York has not
been classed with the ad valorem states
But to be perfectly fair in the presenta-
ton of the results Of ad yalorem taxation
in the United States, we shall show what
the results are with these two states in
Guided. With these two states included in
the list. of states which derive revenue
from this form of tax, we have an agree
gate of $34, S47, 1886 taxes paid by compa-
MES owning 1913 652. 76 miles of railroad, or
an average Of $226.53 per mile. Wiscon-
sins average for the same year was
$25S.61.
Gross Earnings Tax Yields Larger
Returns than AID Va1orem System.

years | have been reading DR.. Hartman's
