taken to see Mr.. Tennyson by Mrs.

Salad Of the Shoes.

Freshmen have troubles the world
over. The consents" as they are
called at the famous Ecole Polytecn-
nioue In Paris, are subjected to an
amusing initiation called the salad OF
shoes. The freshmen report some
days before the upper class men so
that they can receive their uniforms
and become familiar with the routine
of the school The first morning after
their tormentors return the freshmen
are aroused by a demand that they
throw their shoes out of the windows
into the courtyard. The shoes are
gathered into a heap, and, kneeilng
in a big circle around this, the fresh
men are obliged to go through some
ridiculous gymnaStic movements at
the command of their superlors. When
the study bell rings they have but
minute to appear In the class rooms,
and 1t is q strenuous minute around
that pile Of shoes.

Hon. John F. Hill Plans
Commercial Trout Hatchery.

Ex-Governor John f. Hill has dur
ing the past few months wrought a
wonderful transformation in the
property purchased by him on the
Burns road in North Augusta and
running through to the Manchester
line, taking in Spring Brook and its
sources. The farmhouse. which was
located near the road. has been moved
back to knoll, commanding Il SPLEEN
did view of the entire property. a
half mile of roadway has been built
up the valley of the brook, dam
constructed for flooding the basin of
the brook, d fish hatchery and other
buildings built, preparatory to the es
Enlistment of 4 commercial trout
hatchery at Spring Brook Trout Farm,
as its new owner is to call it, similar
in scope to those OF southern Massa
chusettS and Rhode Island.
This project of Ex-Governor Hills
had its beginning when several
months ago he purchased the farm on
the Burns road near the head of
Spring Brook of Maurice Leighton
with the idea of building little fish
pond for his own amusement When
he saw the possibilities of this place
he determined to make Il larger eX-
pertinent, in short to try the expert
ment of the propagating of the fish
and marketing them on an extensive
scale. He will i'm carrying out his
experiment be the pioneer in the con-
duct OF Il commercial hatchery in
Northern New England
AS the more extensive proposition
took possession of him he bought 80
or 80 acres additional Of Mr. Burns
and the Diamond Match co. Iuclud-
ed in the additional purchase We're the
springs. which are the sources of
Spring Brock.
The most difficult proposition.
which confronted the new owner Of
the Spring Brook property was the
construction Of Il dam upon the
Leighton farm in the valley below the
knoll. This dam makes possible the
flooding of the basin of the brook for
about 1900 or 1900 feet back and gives
ID pond of an average depth of eight
feet with about 101. feet head at the
dam
The dam is constructed of concrete
core with an earth embankment Oh
either side about 30 feet high and
eight or 10 feet wide at the top. The
water wa turned on Monday night
and the work OF flooding the pond be-
gun. The water is being turned on
gradually and it will probably be a

with hens and ducks.
The second floor of the hatchery
building will be occupied by Mr..
Greeley and has been finished into ii
fve-room tenement with all modern
conveniences. 1t will be in readiness
by the time the hatchery is completed
for immediate occupancy by Mr..
Greeley and his family. About ESQ
600 trout eggs will be Matched out
this winter, which will give quite IA
start for the actual work Of the trout
farm.
About 80 feet above the hatchery
another dam has been built across
the main arm of the brook. Here a
pipe has been laid to furnish a sup
ply of water for the hatchery Work.
men have built Just below the
hatchery two pools about 30 feet long
by seven or eight wide for holding the
fish in order that the hatchery may
not become crowded. Three more
are now in process of construction
above the hatchery
Some idea of the great TRANSFORMED
ton wrought by Ex-Governor Hill
upon his newly acquired property will
be realized when it is remembered
that previous to his taking hold OF
the project in May last the Leighton
property and the adjoining land con-
sisted principally of wood land and
rather Door pasture and that in order
to accomplish the results mentioned
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1910-10-27

above ii was necessary to build roads
cut down d thick growth of wood and
construct cuts ana GlIs,g in addition
to building dams and flooding a con-
siderable area for the main trout
pool
1t was the abundance Of water upon
the farm that first suggested its avail
ability to its new owner for his project,
which has developed very considerably
beyond its original expenditure and
has involved the outlay of a consider
able sum OF money. One can hardly
walk more than Il few feet in any di
rectiOn after getting down over the
knoll t. which tho farm buildings
have been moved before coming upon
water. either running or oozing up
through the ground. A short dis
tance above the hatchery number of
the springs. which form the sources
of Spring Brook. are located and it is
certainly a wonderful sight to see
the running water coming from all di
rections.
A great number of small fish can be
seen moving around in the brook. the
product of those put there when En-
Governor Hill first conceived the idea
of stocking the brook With trout and
before the project finally developed in
to the construction of a big reservoir
with an ultimate capacity OF from
100. 600 to 100000 fully developed trout
The possibilities of commercial
hatchery will be understood better by
the statement that one of these hatch
cries in Rhode Island furnished 20
tons in one year for New York mar

A fine piece oi engineering in con-
nection with the work is the building
of Il half ii mile of road up the valley
