MAY BE KNOCKED OUT.
Road and Bridge Tax Amendment is
Probably Defeated.

From Mondays Daily,
The fate of the road and bridge tax
amendment is still uncertain and is run
ming very close. Twelve counties that re-
ported to the secretary of state showed
a slight majority for the amendment,
but not large enough to overcome what
it was lacking in the counties that had
reported previously. The first forty
five counties left the amendment 269
votes short of a majority of the votes
cast, and the twelve counties that re-
ported cut this down to sixty seven.

GRANTED A PATENT.
Ernest Butler Invents An Iron Rail-
road Tie.


Ernest Butler of North Mankato has
been granted patent on a rattle. The
tie is of iron, and the peculiar feature
of it that is covered by the patent is
the manner in which it is attached to
the rail. A neat little adjustment al
lows the tie to be fastened to the rail
very quickly and holds it so firmly that
the rails cannot spread. In this manner
it is calculated to prevent accidents.
Timber for wooden ties is becoming
scarce and expensive.

FOUND MANY MARKED SALMON
Proof That Fish Return TO Place
Where They Were Matched.

What is believed to be the best evi-
dence of the efficiency Of artificial
propagation of salmon that has ever
been secured was recently obtained
by Fish Commissioner Kershaw rela-
tive TO the operation Of hatcheries on
the Colombia river Mr.. Kershaw re-
ceived tails and fms of 100 salmon
from a single trap owner on the Co
lumbia river that we're plainly marked
hatchery fish.
When the hatcheries we're placed IN
operation on the Columbia river a sys-
TEN of marking was adopted for the
purpose OF ascertaining II any OF the
salmon turned out of the river re-
turned To their native spawning
grounds, and in what length OF time.
The marked fms and tails received
by Mr.. Kershaw we're found to be sal
man that we're turned out of the Kali
anna and Chinook hatcheries four
years ago. The spawn of these fish
was taken in 1900 and the young sal
mon turned out in 1901. The small
bones in the fms we're cut down and
hole punched in the tail. The cut
ting of the bones in the find is Just
the same as a man losing part OF
his fnger-it never grows out again.
The Columbia river was practically
depleted when the artificial propaga.

that stream, and the past several
years has demonstrated that 1t has
been restocked by some means.
While only a part of the fish were
marked when released from the hatch.
cries, the fact that one trap owner on
the river found at least 100 OF these
