 The action of the committee was In the nature of surprise, as IL was gen orally predicted that the call woulG provide for the county election to ne held Jointly with the State primary: August 27. The argument in favor ol an early primary was that 1t would no interfere with the farmers Tn their work. whereas, late primary would seriously interfere with farming opera tions.
 The meeting was attended by seven teen of the twenty-four members, the absent members being represented oy proxies. which were not allowed vote. The result on roll call resulted in ten to seven in favor of an early election.
 Dr. R. J. Thurmond of Shemeld probable candidate for Representative 10 the State Legislature. from Colbert led the fight for an early primary while John D. Rather. Jr., of Tuseum- bia championed the late primary. There are but two county offices to be nlleo at the next election-Sherin and Repre- sentative.

FISH IN COLORADO
AND UTAH WATERS

For number OF years now fish in
the mountain streams contiguous to the
line of the Denver & Rio Grande Rail-
road in Colorado and Utah have been
increasing in great numbers. The United
States government and State hatcheries
are each year planting hundred times
more fish trout than are taken out OF
the streams by hook and line. p.icr 10
1904 the anual planting was between
100000 and 100000. In 1904 the
number reached 6,326,O0O and in 1905,
7,669,O0O. 1t is expected that even this
astonishing record will be excluded in
1905. This continuous fish propagation
insures the angler tirst.class sport for
years to come. The 1905 distribution
in detail is shown on the accompanying
