MR.. M'ADOO'S AFOTHEGMS.

pr. MADOO says: "Thc city holds four aces in this
~Vy subway game and ought not to lay them down to
.lALl a~nybodys bobtail flush"
NJ The phrase is one Of those "sabcr cuts OF Saxon
NV/ speech" that split a problem clear through by sheer
force of statement. Moreover, it is not inaprro-
pirate to the subject. Considering The sort of game the lntcrborough
has put up to the people, how can comment upon it be better expressed
than in the language of bluff
Unfortunately the good old game is not always played straight.
There are several crooked varieties. Among the variations are Puget
Sound poker, where deuces r counted higher than aces, and the
Posey County game in Indiana where the hands are laid down to show
who wins the game, and then everybody grabs to see who gets the
stakes.
These variations give the game the defect of an absolute uncer-
tainty as to the value Of four aces, and in that respect are very much
like the subway game. Mr.. McAdoos smile is, therefore, not wholly
assuring. There il more wisdom in his other sayings: "n regulating
monopoly the best regulative weapon is the right to cust the opera
tor and, of all transit companies look alike and are alike, and are
bad in their likeness, it is high time to create a new and right type"

The element Of humor IN the report is due wholly to the per-

STATE FISH HATCHERY
Extensive Repairs Being Made and
Its Capacity to be Greatly In
creased This Years Work.

State Fish and Game Commis-
sioner J. w. Titcomb has COM
menced quite extensive repairs on
the state fish hatchery at Roxbury.
For several years past there has
been some difficulty in the rearing
of young trout in that station. Ex-
periments were conducted at the
hatchery last spring which showed
that the spring water at the hatch
cry is all right for the rearing of
brook trout and that the brook
water which has been in use there
gives more satisfactory results in
the rearing of lake and salmon trout.
Consequently it has been decided to
remove all the wooden rearing ponds
which had become somewhat de-
cayed and build in the upper end of
the Fish Hatchery Park a large tank
from which the water will be re-
leased and flow down over the ledges
forming an artificial water flow.
The supply will be regulated so that
either spring or brook water can be
used in the ponds as desired. A
large pond will be constructed at
the upper end of the park and from
15 to Is breeding ponds along the
lower levels of the grounds.
The most extensive piece of work
will be on the Hatchery itself, which
was built very near the ground SO
that the sills and other wood work
have decayed badly. The building
will be raised about two feet from
it's present location and cement
foundations and cement floors and
breeding troughs put in. Also eel
lar dug for the convenience of heat
ing the plant.
It is expected when this work is
completed that the hatchery will re-
sumo the production of fish with
larger capacity than it has been
doing for the past few years. The
hatchery has put out between 700,-
900 and 100000 fry this season.
The fry reared this year were brook
trout, lake trout, salmon and few
Golden or Pacific Coast trout. They
have nearly all been distributed al
though there were few remaining
there last week.

COUNTY COURT CLOSED
A Total Of 12O Cases Taken From
the Docket.-21 Divorces.

The closing days of very long
term of Caledonia County Court
were marked with the solemn di-
yorcement of a few more couples
who have thought it best to take
precedence of the ''until-death-do-
part" clause which hung so happily
amid the promises of their nuptial
hour. The latest installment in
cludes:
Florence L. Randall VS.. Joseph
w. Randall; grounds, intolerable
severity; petitioner has leave to re-
sumo her maiden name of Florence
L. Matthews; Abbie L. Stevens VS..
George e. Stevens; grounds, intol-
cradle severity. Petitioner has
leave to resume her maiden name of
Abbie l.. Merchant. Nina P. I'll.
Noble VS.. Lemuel F. Noble; grounds
Wilful desertion. Petitioner has
leave to resume her maiden name of
Nina P. Hudson.
An unusually large number of
cases have been disposed of during
the present term, total of 120
cases having gone off the docket.
Twenty-one divorces have been
granted and several petitions dis
continued.
Presiding Judge Alfred A. Hall is
to be congratulated on the diligence
he has evinced in conducting this
hard term of Court and more espe-
cially in the fact that his diligence
in the matter of divorces did not
weaken towards the end of a trying
amount of work.
In closing the term on Thursday
morning Judge Hall thanked the
members of the bar and the officers
of the Court in his accustomed
kindly manner for their able pre-
sentation of cases and the uniform
manner in which they had helped to
carry on the Court work. District
Attorney Alexander Dunnett ten
dered the unanimous fluctuations
on behalf of the bar.
