Hatchery Operations.

ut is somewhat early yet to form
much OF an idea of what success we will
have at our different hatchery stations
this coming season, but from reports so
far received the general indications are
favorable for fair take OF eggs on all
of the streams, with the possible 'exeep.
ton of Salmon river, tributary of
the Sandy, which is reported extremely
low and offers no apparent attraction to
salmon ascending the Columbia.
AT the Mckenzie river station it is
impossible for us to form much of an
idea of the number of salmon that we
have in pool between racks, on account

Storms and Cold Weather Of the Past Wee K
Have That Distinction.
The severe cold weather which has
prevailed in this section during the
last two weeks has the distinction OF
being the severest since 1872 when the
thermometer registered % degrees be-
low zero in Chicago. Last Tuesday
was the coldest day and the thermome-
ter registered ~ degrees below IN Chi
cago. Much hardship and suffering
is occasioned in the big cities by the
severe and long continued cold. The
number Of fires have greatly increas-
ed because Of the extra heat needed

The weather il not as bad mp in

ter the cold spell lasts longer and the
cold wind that accompanies the low
temperature drives the cold into the
buildings.
Up here we are prepared for such
things but down below they are not
and IL is for that reason that they feel
the cold so keenly
The people that feel the effects of
the cold most are those engaged in
railroad work and the travelling public
Travelling men tell us that they suffer
greatly from this weather as they are
always on the move and have to put

this matter Mr. Flodstrand is the vie
tim Of unfortunate circumstances.
The saloon, Of which nc is the pro
prietor was opened upon that day,
but the same is true of every other
saloon in the city. IL happened that
disturbance, for which the pro
prietor Is in no way responsible, oc-

Flodstrand was ordered. So far as
the unfortunate circumstances marks

The question involved was whether
or not money tax voted for highway
purposes by a township in which were
incorporated villages could be levied
upon the property and inhabitants OF
the village. This was done last April
and the contesting tax payers claimed
that il could not be legally done. The
court held that IL could be done.
Even though the court had held that
it could not be made only those prop

protest conld have recovered
Two decisions - the state supreme

IRON COUNTY an
IMAlS FOR GERMANY
GAME WARDEN CHAPMAN WANTS
FOUR BEAVER.
GUST HOLMES TO TRAP THEM
Will be sent to the Detroit Zoo"
and Then Traded for Some German
Specie Desired in This Country.

State Game Warden Chapman wishes
TO capture two male and two female
beaver in the woods OF Iron coun ~ for
the officials Of the Detroit Geological
gardens The state game laws pro
hibit the catching Of bever until 1907
but there is provision in tue law
allowing the game officials to capture
them. or any other wild animal, for
that matter for strictly scientific pur.
poses. Mr. Chapman has had re-
quest FOR the TWO pair of beaver from
the Detroit 100 aud 10 is understood
that the Detroit people desire them for
the purpose of exchanging with the
German Government for special
specie Of squirrel that the American
authorities are anxious 70 experiment
upon The German authorities are
anxious to get some American beaver
for the same purpose and will. it is
understood, swap the squirrel for the
beaver. IL is understood that the beaver
are ultimately destined for the cities
of Hamberg and Berlin, one pair 70
each city.
AS we understand il, the state
authori ties have no legal right 20 make
this trade direct but, after the beaver
have been placed in the Zoo at De
troit. the management Of that garden
has the right TO make such An ex-
change.
The work of capturing the beaver
has been intrusted to Gust Holmes,
who is following the business OF trap
ping on the middle waters OF the Deer
and Fence rivers this winter Mr..
Holmes has not tackeled his job yet
but will do SO very soon IL will be
necessary to use the utmost caution in
the capture of these animals as they
must be uninjured and in pairs. Bea-
yer are very wise animals and II more
than two males are caught the residue
must be allowed their freedom. There
are a number Of beaver on the Fence
and Deer and Mr.. Holmes hopes TO
capture his victims without any great
difficulty
Among his captures this winter is a
silver grey fox He has the pelt well
cured and has been told that IL is a
perfect skin. The silver grey fox is "A
very scarce animal and perfect hide
is worth about $3.50.
In regard 20 wolves Mr. Holmes says
that they ere very scarce ON the rivers
mentioned he has seen evidences OF
but one wolf this winter and that was
a short time ago when Mr., Wolf killed
Il deer on supply road near Uren =
camp. ate meal out OF the carcass
buried the balance in the snow and
went his way. He has seen the tracks
of this lone wolf number OF times
but has never caught sight Of him
yet While Mr. Holmes didn't make
the assertion yet we inferred from
the conversation that ne believes the
stories Of the abundance Of wolves in
the woods al the present time, TO be
very much overdrawn and told more
for the purpose Of increasing the
bounty on the few that are captured
than from any actual condition that
the people of the county has 70 face

Opermacki remarked 10 his partner
that IL would be an awful thing IL the

Of stopping at the surface. His mind
must have been dwelling upon this
contingency happening for, when at
the second level, the partner turned
around and when he looked again the
man had disappeared. IL II supposed
that he mistooK the second level for

italian Tobacco system In Japan.

The infinite adaptability Of Japan to
western civilization recently received
another striking illustration, says the
London Globe. Last year a commission
Of Japanese administrators was sent
TO Italy 10 study the system upon
which the Italian tobacco monopoly
was organized. The result was so sat
lsfactory that the commission reported
that It would be suitable for adoption
in the mikado's dominlons. The Italian
minister Of finance has received a com
munication from the japanese minister
Of finance announcing that the Italian
system is now at work throughout ia
pan and ia working admirably.
