The concert was so we'll attended

and many visitors were compelled to
stand or go away.
This has been the most successful
year in the history Of the school. The
grades have been more strictly ad-
hered to; an assistant teacher was
added, and during the term a new $40
bookcase and eighty books have been
supplemented. The enrolment was
much larger than last year, and the
average daily attendance showed a
marked increase. One pupil took the
examination for teachers certificate
on May 4 and 5. Three Others will
take the examination under Mr.. Beth

have made great advancement under
his able direction. He keeps himself

IMPRESSED WITH

Travelling Salesman Sees Bryan
lT Again and Meets Old
n9eT Friend.

Mr.. Howard w. Peak, travelling
salesman who has not visited Bryan
for several years until right recently,
has this to say in letter just re-
ceived:
editor Bryan Eagle, Bryan, Texas:
Il can not help but express my sur
prise at the wonderful development
made by your town in the last ten
years.
81 remember when the spot now
occupied by the Hotel Bryan was a
veritable sand desert. But now the
green grass and stately shade trees;
your city hall, Carnegie library and
other handsome buildings are highly
creditable to your progressive little
city.
THE new hotel modern in every
detail and conducted in a most pleas
ing way, has certainly endeared your
town to the greatest class of boosters
ever known-the commercial travellers
Il was glad to find my old friend
Parks, whom used 20 know some sew
enteen years ago when he conducted
modest and unpretentious little
store. While there is nothing preten
tious about Mr.. Parks now, though ne
has one of the finest business estaD
lishments | have ever seen in town
! the size of Bryan-by far the largest
and most complete of any between
Dallas and Houston.
Il was particularly impressed, not
only with the size, but with variety
of his stock. Furniture handsomely
displayed, pianos, organs, sewing ma
chimes, buggies, saddlery, harness, etc
In all lines his stock is comprehensive
and meets all the requirements OF
progressive people.
"Nr. Parks, in speaking of his sue
cess. lays much stress on the person
mel of his employees. He says he has
the best set of men associated witt
him that can be found in any organi
zation.
"Mr. Hugh p. Scott. his bookkeeper
showed me the most complete office
equipment and the most comprehen
sive system of bookkeeping that have
seen in all my travels.
"Mr. Dudley White. who has charge
OF the furniture department Ia depart
ment especially interesting to me
since I am an old furniture salesman)
showed me through suite of rooms
where he has displayed some yer,
handsome pieces of high-grade furni
ture. One room is fitted up as a par
lor, another as dining room, another
as bedroom. ETC., where one can ge

Output of Any Years Since
Establishment.

Distribution OF fish TO public and pri-
vate waters involved railroad travel ap-
proximating IOo.s15 miles by the bureaus
cars, and sis.as miles by detached mes
sengers, according TO the report Of Com
missioner Bowers, OF the Bureau OF Fish
cries, Department Of Commerce and La
bor, for the fiscal year. 1911.
While adverse meteorological condi-
tions curtSiled the egg-take OF important
species in some sections. substantial
gains were made in other fields, and the
outcome OF the years work was the
largest output of FISH and eggs IN the
history OF the bureau, the total being
5, -. .5s5, or 1888 per cent greater than
In 1910. This favorable showing is large
Iy accounted for by the adoption OF new
methods and the utilization OF improved
appliances. OF these distributions 550,-
l7o. il4 eggs, l.029.S00 fry, and 1.0sO larger
fish were delivered 10 various State fish
commissions. and 5000 eggs, 100000 fry,
2.O50 older fish were furnished for ship
ment to foreign countries.
The benefits accruing from the bureau's
efforts are manifested. the report states.
through the widespread interest in the
work by people In all sections OF the
country. The applications for food and
game fishes received during the fiscal
year, 1911. numbered 1883. and over half
Of them were for the black basses, crap
pies, sunfishes. and catfshes, for stock
ing artificial ponds or farms. The popu-
Iarity of this branch of the work. 1t Is
stated, is constantly increasing with the
fuller realization that the maintenance
of private fishponds can be made a val
liable adjunct 10 farming. as food supply
for home consumption, and as a source
of revenue.
The species propaEated in larger num-
bers in 1911 than in 1910. included the
chinook salmon, steelhead trout, brook
trout. rainbow trout, grayling, pike
perch, yellow perch, white perch, small
mouth black bass. buffaIofish, pollock,
haddock, and lobster. The output OF At
lantic salmon was double that of any
previous year.
The report states that one of the most
important needs OF the bureau is an
experiment station for the study of FISH
ing. IL is producing an annual output of
young fish which would have. at the
