POULTRY
White Wyandottes.

The white variety of Wyandottes
originated as sports from the Silver
Laced, says a report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is claimed
that some of them appeared as early
as 1872. If this is true, those of that
early date had not much of quality
In their ancestors. Early writers
speak of them as better in Wyan'
dotte shape than the Silvers, and re-
gard them as models for all varieties.
Much of this distinction, 1t is pre-
sumed, was the outcome of applause
arising from the pleasure of adding
a new variety to the list of American
fowls.
When it is considered that as late
as 1883 the Silver-Laced Wyandottes
gained only quality OF sufficient
amount to establish them as Stand
ard breed, what must they have been
in 1872, at which time it is claimed
that the white sports were produced

VITAL STATISTICS REPORT.

 Registrar Carr Shows His Receipts to
 Have Been $1.774.65 for the Past
 Year.
 Registrar of Vital Statistics Carr yes terday submitted his report for the year 1903 to Mayor Studley, and as the sta- tistics are now reported by the health officer and to the state board of health instead of to the city, it was largely made up of financial matters.
 The report shows, however, that there were 1,198 marriage licenses issued during the year at one dollar each. The income from this source amounted to $1,19S. October was the largest of any one month in this respect, there being 107 licenses issued. June was a close second with 105 licenses. A num- Der of these licenses have not been used, as no return has been made on some Of htem.
 The total income from all sources amounetd to $1,177465, and the expenses of conducting the office reached s4,562.25. There was balance of $37.75 turned back to the city treasury on the appro- priation for 1902.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
REPORT OF THE CORPORATION COUNSEL MADE YESTERDAY

shows the state of the City Litigation
 aud Military Enroilment-Regist
 nance Committee and Building ordi-
 nances-Civii service Board.
 Corporation Counsel L. M. Daggett yesterday submitted his report to Mayor Studley for the year 1903. The report states the condition of the city's litigation and explains the thirty-two cases brought prior to 1903, and also the nineteen new ones which occurred dur ing the last year. A number of cases have been tried out or otherwise dispos- ed of. In most instances the settlement or disposition has been in favor of the city. MT. Daggett makes no comments on the work, out each case clearly speaks for itself.
 Assistant Corporation Counsel J. B. Ullman reports that owing to the heavy collection os back taxes taken in the year before that the collections for 1903 were not so large. but that they amount ed to s125.000. There was $4,000 more collected on military enrolment taxes during 1903 than ever before.
 At the conclusion of MT. Ullinan's re- port he states that the military enroll ment on which he worked was very un- satisfactory, and that many names ap- peared on the list of those who were exempt under the statutes, and that of the notice sent out over one thousand were returned with the postoffice stamp Of No such persons"

TIMBER SUNK IN RIVER BEDS.

A Fortune Awaits the Inventor of a Method to Recover It.
 Tt some schemercould be devised,' 2 said George w. Noble of Saltwater at the Plankinton, "by which the sunken logs which fill the beds of rivers and creeks in the logging sections of this country could only be recovered i'm mense fortunes would be made. Along the St. Croix waters it is estimated that logs enough are irnbedded in the sand of river bottoms to keep mills running for years. Under present conditions the loss is total, for no successful method has ever been devised to effect this saving.
 Occasionally logs cut years ago are their sand beds and driven upon the shores, were the action of sun and wind dries them out sufficiently so that they will float down stream, but the percen- tase of logs recovered is small, and millions of dollars worth of property is lost beyond recocery until some enter prising genius invents machine or process to recover the timber.
 At Saltwater logs occasionally come to the sorting booms bearing marks in use half century ago, and when they appear the old lumbermen grow re- miniscent of men who have been long forgotten, but who were important operators in the pioneer logging days of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 No possible estimate can be made of the amount of timber thus lost. but lumberman estimate that rivers of Wisconsin, in the value of logs buried in their sands have fortunes of millions of dollars if the logs could be recovered. Wisconsin has been one of the big pine States, and your Chippewa, Wisconsin, St. Croix and Menominee Rivers and [ their tributaries contain fortunes in sunken timber.
 Strange as it may appear, the value of the timber is not lessened even after it has been submerged for half or quarter of century. Efforts have been occasionally. made to recover sunk en logs. At one time a company was organized at Saltwater to dredge streams and thus recover some of the timber, but the plan did not work with any great degree of success, this being found too expensive. Some one will come along some day with a plan, and this immensely valuable pro- duet, now lost, will be recovered."- Milwaukee Sentinel.
