Along Gulf Coast.

have been erected recently, including one
in Texas, for the manufacture of the oil
and fertilizers produced from this fish.
The fish taken in the gulf are heavier in
proportion to their length and are less
active in their movements, and there is a
difference of opinion as to whether these
migrate to the northern waters and
change in their appearance from the ex-
ertion of travelling. or if they remain in
the waters of the gulf permanently.
There are. Of course. few of these
fish which spawn on the Atlantic coast.
In September of 1906 several schools of
very small menhaden about an inch in
length were observed in the harbor of
Vineyard Haven. Old fishermen, whose
observation of these waters had extended
over a period of fifty years, stated that
they never had seen menhaden of that
size so far north before, although they
frequently have found young fish little
larger all along the south coast of Sandy
Hook during August and September
The utilization of menhaden as fertilizer
is believed to have been common with the
Indians. as there are old traditions which
indicate that they planted them in the
ground with the corn in New England.
In fact the word 'menhaden'' is the
anglicized form of an Indian word mean
ing FERTILIZER Along the coasts of
Delaware and New Jersey it is said that
the squaws gathered the fish up in bags
after they had been caught i'm their nets.
and carried them in the fall to the fields
they were preparing for the next years
planting. They dug deep burrows with
their deer horn hoes and laid the fish in
straight rows. covering them lightly with
earth. few months later they had de-
composed and the ground had enriched
for whatever crop was to be planted.

controversy over the advantages of the

1t is insisted. however. by fish culturists
that this is not the case with menhaden.
During a careful observation which has
extended over a term of twenty three
years, in which period an average an
nual catch of 500, 900, GOO was taken, there
has been no perceptible diminishment of
the average number of the fish in the

political party holding the reins-and

republican party is very similar 10

case the dominant party had ceased

OF a comparatively small oligarchy,
to be used for the aggraud cement

the many. The resulting revolt in
both instances is high tribute TO

vent inaugurated, it is fact that not
TO exceed one-fourth Of our citizens
knew that electrical messages were be
ing sent and received until hours, II
not days, had passed after the begin
ming, SO unostentatiously had this been
conducted.
The Office was opened on October IL,
1861, in building Just north Of and
adjoining the Deseret National bank
site and was an object Of interest for
some time after.
a little more than fourteen years had
elapsed since the pioneers first pitched
their tents here, and as the great lead
er, Brigham Young, to whom had been
extended the honor of sending the first
message, was penning the dispatch,
something like that which was sent
over the first wire ever operated-from
Washington to Baltimoro-must have
passed through his mind. "What hath
God wrought" The message was to
the president Of the telegraph company
at Omaha, then and for some time after

This was followed by one from Cover
nor Frank Fuller to President Lincoln
to which also a prompt and cordial re-

It soon occurred to President Young
that we must have a telegraph line OF
our own TO connect the different parts
of the territory with headquarters
this not only by reason of its general
| convenience but because Of tho turbu,
lent state of some of the Indian tribes
| and the increasing frequency and bar
oarlty of their depredations. OF course
| IL was not to be expected that such an
enterprise at such a time would be
financially successful, but that was OF
| secondary Importance; so q company
was formed and the necessary funds
were raised by voluntary subscription
IN the latter part of 1865 and the be.
ginning of 1866, the work itself being
completed in the latter part of the
last named year. The first offices, Salt
Lake and Ogden, were opened on De

foresight, Brigham had established q
