TROUT AT HIGH ALTlT JOE.

Stocking Lake in the Pyrenees
Frozen Ten Months Year.
Trout culture at high elevation has
been tried in the Pyrenees with great
success. The place selected was Lake
Barrcndes, which lies in a broad val
ley 1900 feet above sea level and has
a surface of about twenty-five acres.
Long continued observation had es-
tablished the fact that there were no
fish whatever in it, Isolated amid the
lonely peaks, no germ of life had ever
reached it's waters.
In August. 1906, a company OF
sportsmen who are interested in the
Pyrenees had 400 trout spawn care
fully carried up to the lake and de-
posted in the water. BY Sept. 1 the
entire surface of the lake was frozen
over and the ice did not begin to melt
again until July of this year. 1t was
near the end of the month before the
entire sheet had disappeared.
Then the search for the young fish
began, and at first there was no re-
suit The experimenters were about
concluding that they had perished
when all of a sudden they appeared
swimming in swarms near the surface
of the lake and exploring all the shall
low places along the shores.
1t is believed that their failure to
appear at first was due to the cold
ness of the surface water, which drove
them to the depths of the lake, where
they found a milder and more constant
temperature. Later, as the water
grew warmer, they came nearer the
surface. The fish will be allowed to
grow and multiply for some years be-
fore any attempt Is made to catch any.

Tidbits for Sunday Dinner.

Every little while said the man.
ager of a dogs boarding house, "the
owners of these animals prefer re-
quest that seems utterly absurd. The
strangest of all was made by woman
who came yesterday to secure accom-
mediation for two of her pets.
"What do you feed your boarders
on Sunday?' she asked
"The regulation fare told her.
"'Oh,' she said. that won't do for
my dogs. They have been used to
something extra for Sunday dinner,
and if there was a change in their
fare for the worse, now that they have
gone to boarding, l am sure they
would suffer. Kindly see that they
have a good Sunday dinner. l am
willing to pay extra for it if neces-
sary.'
"In consideration of that extra re-
muneration clause I promised to pro-
vide some fancy dishes for the two
dogs on the Sabbath day. l am quite
sure the dainties won't agree with the
little beasts, but the contract calls
for tidbits, and tidbits I'll provide If
it kills them"

about 1890 Monday forenoon. The
department arrived promptly and got
to work without delay. The fire start
ed in the kitchen and spread r,pidiy,
burning through into the second story
and over into the main part of the
buildldg. By prompt work on the
part of the fire boys the blazewas soon
brought under control. TIE damage
to the building and kitchen furniture
is in the neighborhood of $500 or $4O0.
The building is owned by c. d. Mar
shall and fully insured. The lessee
of the building, E. Kulencamp, owns
the furniture, the loss on which is
covered by insurance. The building
is one of the oldest structures in town,
built entirely OF wood and had the !
fire got good start the chances would
have been good for the fire spreading
to other buildings, as the wind was
in the east at the time. The east end
of the building has stood on the cor
nor for some forty years, the western
end having been added later. The
structure is all as day as finder and
an ideal place for big fire. The de-
partmeut deserves great credit for stop
ping the fire so promtly and we'll.
Few towns in the state have better
fire department than has Sauk Centre.
Cheap money for farm loans is
naturally considered an advantage
to the borrower, but experience has
shown the prepayment privilege
of far gseater advantage in that it
affords men way to apply their
profits and savings on their mortgage
debt and gradually wipe it out, saving
interest at the same time. The North
western Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany which has over SIC, ,000, 900 placed
in Minnesota farm loans at per cent
Ia considerable amount in this county,
does all its farm loan business on the
prepayment privilege plan, with
the result that during the year 1907
while it made new loans in this state
of So, ,253, ,331 .03 Minnesota borrowers
took advantage Of their privileges to
the extent repaying 81 1922 1896 so.
The company is therefore enjoying a
continuous farm loan business which
in this part Of the state is in charge of
Henry Rothschild, Special Loan Agent,
Manhattan Building, St. Paul, MINI.
The company's loans are usually
placed through local banks or loan
agents.
Market Day was success. Farmers
in goodly numbers came in about
noon and there was something doing
every minute the rest of the day.
Mayor F. E. Minette, auctioneer,
talked to the farmers for a few min.
utes before the auction began, urging
them to trade at home. He said he
had interviewed tn local merchants
and they had agreed to duplicate any
prices on articles made by outside
firms, provided they could receive
cash for the trade. In other words, if
any farmer desired to buy any article
and had thought of sending away for
it, all he had to do to have the trade
60 to local merchants was to submit
the proposition to local dealer and
he would be able to purchase the ar
ticle for the same money any outside
house agreed to sell it for provided he
would pay cash. Mayor Minette
further said that it was up to the local
business men 10 see that farmers
produce equal to any prices paid by
neighboring towns. The talkwas we'll
received by all who heard it.

Republican Platform for Wake
County.

Adopted by the Wake County Re-
publican Convention at Raleigh, N.
c., August Is, 1908.
The Republican Party of Wake
County invites all electors dissatis-
fed with present conditions, to sup
port our nominees who stand pledged
to the following, to-wit:
1. Retrenchment and reform must
be inaugurated in both county and
city government. Stop wasteful ex-
penditures, abolish Offices created
simply for party henchmen, and
adopt reform in administration, else
bankruptcy will settle upon this
country.
2. The principle of local self-gov-
eminent should be maintained. The
management of highways and
schools, the selection of magistrates
and the direction of local affairs
must rest directly with the people.
3. Pay the officers of Wake Coun-
ty fair salaries and turn the fees
they now receive into the county
treasury. The Democratic party has
three times refused to give this re-
form demanded by the people.
4. The present Highway Commits
sion, piece Of. vicious Democratic
partisan legislation, must be abol-
ished
5. We demand a fair election law,
which will permit an elector to cast
a ballot privately without interfer-
ence or dictation.
For the accomplishment of these
righteous measures we appeal to all
good citizens to join us.

One of the Democratic speakers
in this State made the statement
that the Republican party can not be
white in the South and black in the
North.
How about the Democratic party ?
Doesn't the same apply to them? In
the South they boiler white suprem-
acy and then the same crowd rushes
to the North and use every scheme
imaginable to help Bryan corral the
negro vote. Southern Democratic
politicians have been busy in the
North for many weeks gathering up
negro literature and sending it out
among the negroes in an effort to
capture negro votes for Bryan. If
Josephus Daniels is the next Secre-
tary of War, 1t will be due to the
