Government Employed Man to
Estimate Fish Weight.
Discharge Expert Who Had to Tell

Bangor, Me.-The official guesser

ment has bought live salmon upon the
good eye Of a veteran fisherman, VINO
took squirt at each fish and then
put down In his book what he guessed
to be the right weight. The bills
were paid accordingly thousands OF
dollars
Every year the government buys
from 500 to 1000 live salmon LOT
breeding from the weir owners on the
Bucksport, Verona, Or1and and Penob-
scot shores. The price paid Is the
market rate, from 20 to 80 cents
pound, with so cents bonus for each

alive
