Togus defeated the Gardiner High
school eleven here Saturday afternoon
to in their first game of football, which
was witnessed by a large and enthusiast
ic crowd. The Home eleven seemed to
be the better team and would have had
three more touchdowns if they had not
been penalized so much because of lack
of knowledge of rules and being offside.
Gould, Peaslee and Keyes We're fast and
showed that they had been in the game
before, and Manager Kline deserves much
credit for the manner in which he handled
his men and gave signals.
In the coin toss Gardiner chose the
south goal. Reyes kicked off for Togus.
Gardiner fumbled the ball and Togus re-
covered il and advanced steadily and
would have crossed the line only for be-
ing penanzed twice. The quarter ended
with Gardiner in possession of the ball
on the 5-yard line
In the second Gardiner made rapid adj
vances by end plays of Conner until the
center of the field was reached, where
they were held by Togus and the quar-
ter ended with the ball still in possession
of Gardiner
In the third Togus got the bail and by
rapid work of Gould advanced and Peas
lee made an easy touchdown. Keyes fail
ed to kick goal.
In the last quarter Gardiner made the
kickoff to Gould, who made long run
to the center of tho field before beng
downed. Roth teams put mp a hard fight
and this quarter ended with the ball in
possession of Gardiner on their 40-yard
line.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Thirty years ago Winnipeg had a population of eight thousand. Then. as now. she was prey to winds that swept over thousands of miles of prairie. to long. cold winters and short hot summers.
 Today Winnipeg. with a population nearing two hundred thousand. has sci an example to the rest of the "art, nent as a successful exponent If mo. nicIpal ownership of public utilities.
 Successful. because she makes a profit on her water. her asphalt pay ing plant, her telephone system and her power works. She has thirty mil lions invested in these enterprises. and is planning to purchase street railway. gas and electric franchises at a vaua '. tion of eighteen millions
 Last year the Winnipeg Electric Company paid the city five per cent on It's gross earnings and then de- clared a profit of a million. SO that the city. after the purchase will net more than eleven per cent on bargain made possible by her invasion of the electric field
 Nor does she confine herself to large enterprises. She owns stone quarries. an up to date incinerator for the dis posal of refuse and a cemetery.
 From the cradle to the grave the or municipal progresslveness. He reaps the benefits accruing from the proper use of trained servants in lien of the disadvantages inflicted hy money grubbing masters.
 The rise of Winnipeg is worth sp,av- ing. There are other advantages to be gained from our neighbor to the north besides those of reciprocity.

PACIFIC MAYA LEASE

The talk about creating a great naval base on the Panama canal is probably nonsense. The strategic base of naval operations covering the waters of tbe Caribbean and the protection of the canal Will necessarily be located at Guantanamo on the island of Cuba The canal itself will be protected bv adequate Qualifications and A garrison In fact. if the navy were tied down 10 the function of guarding the istb- man waterway. that great enterprise would be a source of military weakness and not strength. It is obvious that the canal must be provided with its own special system of land defenses.
 The naval bases on the Pacific will be at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. at Mare Island on the ground that 1t Is not easy or approach for large ships. but this objection is quite untenabIe for the reason that 1t Is commercially neces- sary to open these approaches to Mare Island by dredging the Pinole sbosls IT there never had been a navy ward at ware Island these shoals must be dredsed and cleared away in the inter ests Of navgistion on the inland water ways Of California. Congress has al ready made appropriations for a suh- Stantial beginning on this work.
 It would be criminal waste of nuh. He money to dismantle the great gov erninent plant at Mare island. on which some fiHooOO.ooe of public money has been invested.

Mr.. Yoakum was not arguing on the
tariff question, but on the need Of rail
road development, and therefore lie
may be considered an unprejudiced
witness so far as this subject is con-
cerned
Mr.. Yoakum shows that the price
Of the onion increased 10 times on its
way from the farmer to the New York
City consumer. If this high authority
is correct. has anyone searched those
people who have that onion between
the time it leaves the farmers hands
and gets to the consumer? And if no
one has. ought it not to be done be-
fore we try and convict the farmer as
the robber and sentence him to lose
his paltrv protection of 40 cents a
bushel on onions, Is the one who
takes one-tenth for an onion he has
planted and raised to be pursued and
those who taxi nine-tenths escape in
NeStigation even?
Mr.. Yoakum shows that the price
of the potato increased more than
seven times on its way from the far
mer to the New York City consumer.
If this high authority is correct, has
anyone searched the people who have
that potato between the time it leaves
the farmers hands and gets to the
consumer And if no one has. ought
it not to be done before We try and
convict the farmer as the robber and
sentence him to lose his paltry pro-
lection of - cents a bushel? Is the
man who takes one-seventn for {. po-
tato he has planted and raised to be
p,1rS,,ad while no uleStiOOS ara 10 he
asked as to those who get the six
sevenths?
Mr.. Yoakum shows that the price of
rice increased five times from the
hands of the farmer to the hands of
| the consumer. If this high authority
i is correct. has anyone searched the
| people who have that rice between the
time it leaves the farmers hands and
gets to the consumer? And if no one
| has, ought it not to be done before
/ we try and convict the rice farmer
and take from him the duty of 2 cents
a pound This bill, it is true. does not
touch rice; but does the rice farmer
of the Carolinas think that protection
is going to last for the few after it is
stripped from the many?
Mr.. Yoakum shows that the price
of eggs doubles from the time they
leave the farmers hands to the time
thev reach the consumers hands in
| New York. As our own Agricultural
i Department has published figures
tending to confirm this estimate. il
gives confidence in the estimates as to
other commodities. startling as they
i may seem.

APPLICATIONS FOR FISH.
Fish and Game Department Sending
Them to Hatcheries to Be Filled.

The department of inland fisheries
and game is at this time receiving a
large number of applications from va
rious sections of the State asking for
fish for the stocking of various lakes
and ponds. The amount to be disposed
OF from the hatcheries this year is
about S,000,0O0 fish, which is much
larger than other years. About two
thirds of these are to be disposed of in
the spring as fry" while the remain
der of the fish will be allowed to grow
larger and will be disposed of in the
fall.
The amount of fish sent to each To-
cality varies according to the size and
condition of the stream and from 1000
to $4,000 of the small fish are sent to
each applicant in the spring and about
half that amount of the larger fish in
the fall The following notices accom-
oany the lots of fish as they are sent
out from the hatcheries:
IF you can plant these fish in a
stream that never dries up enough to
endanger the fish do SO; if not they
should be put in a lake or pond, near
the shore, where there is a rocky bot
tom and plenty of hiding places.
Do not under any circumstances
bunch the fish. Be sure to scatter them
we'll. leaving but very few together.
This is very important. Scatter them
as much as you possibly can. If any
of the fish are in bad shape when re-
ceived please refer the facts mmedi-
ate'y and give your opinion of the
cause to the commissioner of inland
fisheries and game
The department is now sending the
applications to the various hatcheries
TO he filled and the fish will be sent
out about May /. The demand is usual =
" greater than the supply but the in
land fish and game department tries
each year to see that every applicant
gets some fish, even if not in as large
quantity as desired. This year the
amount to be distributed will be much
larger than usual because practically
al of the eggs have hatched at the va
rious hatcheries.
1t is much mooted question Wheth-
or the small fish do as well as the larg-
TT fish. The hatcheries in the state OF
Pennsylvania report that they have
had better success with the smaller
fish than with the larger. Those who
favor :he small fish theory argue that
the larger fish being fed in the hatch
cry learn to rely upon that feed and
so are not able to forage from them
selves and in many instances starve to
death. The little fellow on the Other
hand. has not become so accustomed
TO the habit of being fed. and so looks
out for his own food. The Maine de-
partment sends out both the "fry' nc
the larger fish and thus accommodates
the theorist on either side of the dis.
puted problem.
