THE COUNTRY'S FISH
 SUPPLY THREATENED
The Booth Disclosures Cause Alarm Over the Methods of the Big Com panies.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-(Special cores pondence of The Republlcan.)- )-The latest phase of the investigation into the tangled affairs of A. Booth & Con- pany has revealed some startling fig ures regarding the fish supply of the United States and the methods of the big company in fishing out lakes and streams which were stocked at great expense by the government. The scope of the work of the bureau of fisheries at Washington in replenishing the fast failing supply of white fish, perch and other fresh water fish has been enlarged each year, until now it ap- pears that in the case of some fish the efforts of the bureau are the only thing which stands between the pres ent supply and their rapid extinction by the wholesale commercial methods of the great fishing fleets.
 The total distribution of fish and eggs by the authorities at Washington in one year. according to the latest available figures. foots up to over B. 0O0.0O0-counting fry, eggs and fingerlings. Of this the deposit of white fish alone exceeds 350,0O0.O0O a year. The extent to which the fishing indus try profits by this is shown when it is considered that the tottal annual catch of all kinds in the United States is about 1 900, ,0OO, 900 pounls. So great is the drain on the supply in the Great Lakes in particular that the govern mcnt is obliged year after year to keep up it's gigantic task of stocking Lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior to fill the places of the fish taken each year in the nets of the Chicago companies. and sold at big prices to satisfy the appetite of the middle west for this kind of food
 A story has just come to light which shows that the fishing interests real izc that the part Of their profit is due to the efforts of the government in supplying the fish for them to catch. As long as 1885, the late A. Booth, who first organized and consolidated the fishing industry in this part of the country. told a friend that even when he was dependent on the restocking of the lakes for several varieties of fish: If the United States government had not spent time and money in planting eggs and fry in Lake Michigan and Lake Superior" he is reported to have said the white fish would long since have been exhausted" That was over twenty years ago, and every year since the drain has continued and the gov ernment has paid the bills
 Conditions as regards the bass fish ing in Minnesota are said to be nearly as bad. When the receiver took over the wrecked Chicago company and be- gan to sift out the worthless assets from the good, one of the big items he found. it is said, was for fishing rights in streams that had been fished out. In many of the lakes the rights to fish have been acquired in this way by a

Tremendous cheering heralded his

There were a number OF women re-
formers. too, during my political years
and they were invariably enlisted on
some moral question, as they looked
at it. tobacco, whisky, child labor, the
bettering of conditions for women, the
saving of girls, etc. They were very
much in earnest, faithful and enthusi-
astic to their ideals. Occasionally they
succeeded. and at least, they never
seemed discouraged. 1t Is TO the credit
of politicians in general, that they were
listened to with perfect respect, even
when it was apparent that conditcns
made it an absolute waste of time 10

ordinance barred their way: at other
times a state law, or possibly the con

was a stumbling-block, but they were

There are sometimes uneasy people
in every community who want to run

the community the greater they are
liable to be in number. And in city

Yet, despite sometimes misdirected
energy, these men and their associa-

conditions better. For that they de-
serve substantial credit So long as
they were absolutely non-partisan they

SOCIALIST PAPER DIES.

The Graham County Advocate, the raw-head-and-bloody socialist paper which was published in Clifton for a year, has turned it's toes to the daisies. The Advocate, like all so- clalist papers. devoted Its principai ef- fort to the task of creating discord between working men and their em- ployers Concerning the finish of the Advocate the Clifton Copper Era says:
 "The Advocate announced in its is sue of last week that it would cease publication until September 1. but saw fit to do so by giving the Era another knock. A reply would only be the waste of valuable space. The Era. like all of the people of Clifton, will shed a bucketful of cold tears. As usual the Era will endeavor to sup ply the Clifton people with as much local and county news as the report CTS are able to gather.

JAKE MLRAIN 50 YEARS OLD

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. S.-Jake Kill rain, who an even score of years ago was the most talked about man in the pugilistic world, will enter upon his fiftieth year tomorrow. Kilrain is this week playing an engagement at To- cal theater in company with John L. Sullivan, the man to whom he lost the championship in 1889.
 Kilrain, like Sullivan, regards Bos- ton as his home, though 1t was in Greenport, N r., that he first saw the light of day. But as a youth he came to Somerville, suburb of Bos- ton, and here he worked for a mum Der of years in a rolling mill. It was here also that he first developed his love for athletics.
 In the winter of 1883 Kilrain, whose real name. by the way, is John Jo- seph Killion, became an assistant at the old Cribb house in Boston, and from that time on his entire attention was devoted to boxing. He quickly showed his ability by whipping Harry Allen, George Godfrey for forty-four rounds, and fighting draws in 1884 with Jim Goode, Charley Mitchell and Mike Cleary.
 In 1887 he reached the zenith of his career. In September of that year, after receiving great farewell ovations in New York and Boston, he sailed for England to fight Jem Smith for the championship of the world. On landing in Liverpool he received a grand reception, and four days lat CT he appeared in St. James hall, London, and was greeted by an audi ence of 5000 people. The same week the Marquis of Queensbury gave a banquet in honor of Kilrain and among those present was the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII.
 The fight with Smith took place al Dieppe. France, December 19. It was witnessed by a large crowd of Eng lishmen, each of whom had put up $200 to see the fight. The battle went l06 rounds and was declared a draw though Kilrain was generally credited with having the better of his antago- mist.
