SALARIES OF COUNTY OFFICERS.

The committee appointed by the last
legislature to revise the salaries and
fees of State and county officials, says
of the registers of deeds: "We recon-
mend legislation requiring registers of
deeds to give their personal attention in
their office at all times and providing
that all fees charged for any work per-
formed in the office by the register or
any clerk, whether it be searching for
titles, making of abstracts or furnishing
of copies, either attested or otherwise.
be paid over to the county. No change
is recommended in the present salary of
81, 900 for the Waldo county register"
OF the Judge of Probate: '"The appor-
tionment of salaries for this Office has
beer exceptionally perplexing. The
character of the work makes it neces-
sary that the judge should be an attor-
ney at law and even in counties where
the duties require but very little time
the fact of holding the Office necessarily
deprives the judge of large amount of
remunerative practice which he would
otherwise be in position to carry on. "
A reduction of the salary from $500 tc
$500 in Waldo county is recommended,
and for the Register of Probate from
81, 900 to 5000.
No change is recommended in the sal
airy of the county attorney, now $500.
1.-The compensation of the judge OF
the Belfast municipal court consists OF
the fees of the office. We recommend
that he be given salary of $500 per an
mum, paying over the fees to the coun-
ty.

LOST HIS R0TUNDITY

Col. A. NJ. Dewey stopped over in
Oroville last Friday night on his way
to Spokane. The colonel is still a
pretty good chunk of a man but in
comparison with his obesity of two
years ago he is but a shadow of his
former self. His remarkable reduc-
ton of avoirdupois was accomplished
by a process studied out by himself.
At one time Col. Dewey was a verit-
able mountain of flesh. Doctors de-
clared that he was afflicted with fatty
degeneration of the heart, and gave
him but a short time to live. The COL
onel is a scrapper whenever scrapp-
ing is necessary, and he put on the
gloves with death. He did not propose
to be knocked out without putting up
a game fight. He read every medical
work that he could find that contained
anything bearing on obesity, and from
the information thus accumulated he
mapped out a process to follow that
he believed would result in cutting
down his supurfluous flesh. He ap-
piled himself sternly to that formula
and within less than year, without
the use of medicines of any kind, he
succeeded in working off nearly 100
pounds of fat. He accomplished the

4 NEW LINE OF BUSINESS
Taking Out a Nuisance in the Way of
Fish for Ready Market

Years ago some public benefactor,
very much after the character of the
political demagogic benefactors of this
day who preach legislative nostrums
for all ills, announced that as a food
fish nothing that sported fins could
surpass the German carp. 1t was an
nounced that the fish propogated so
rapidly that lakes and streams once
stocked would soon solve the problem
OF any shortage in the meat diet. The
impression was given out that once a
man, or woman, tickled his, or her,
palate with German carp all other
meats would lose their taste and Ger
man carp become the head line leader
on every family menu in the land.
Such favorable sentiment was Great
ed for carp that individuals and pub
lie officials WED with each other in
ordering carp fry with which to stock
western streams and lakes. In a few
years there were carp galore, but
strange to say people were not falling
over each other in their eagerness to
secure that vintage of fish. After one
trial carp were taboo in any family
that did not have a perverted taste for
fried rubber boots. If there Is any
thing more unpalatable to the ordin-
AIRY human being than German carp
il has not as yet been discovered. Or
just possibly people do not know how
to dress, cook and serve carp so as
to get the best out of the fish. This
suggestion is thrown in as an apology
to the carp.
One thing the original friends and
promoters of the German carp promis-
ed that proved to be absolutely true
They would propagate rapidly. They
have. People have left them severely
alone in their native wallow, and the
sluggish, ugly, mud roofing fish have
multiplied beyond all understanding
The lakes in which the small fry were
first planted ere literally alive with
carp. Even the Okanogan river
swarms with them. When that stream
overflowed on the Strong place, the
carp that strayed out in the shadows
made as much noise laundering and

he is a new man, as we'll as being d
lighter man in weight. He never leit
better in his life than he does today
and is as cheerful and active as man
many years his junior. Only rev
days ago he roped a young horse ana
broke the animal to saddle. At pres
ent Col. Dewey is living at the v. D.
mine, where he has considerable land
under cultivation, and is gathering
about him much blooded stock, horess
and swine that are growing into mon
ey. Moreover he has interested people
with money in the old @. S. mino' a
property upon which there is a hand-
some showing of copper ore, and the
outlook is very encouraging for ex-
tensive development upon the claims
The man who displays the grit and re-
sources that Col Dewey has deserves
to succeed. He surely has earned q
reward, and his friends trust he may
win it and furthermore live long to
enjoy it.

SWIFTNESS OF THE SNAIL
The Red Tape CircumlOcution of the
U. S. POstOffice Department

George Stanfield, provincial con-
stable at Phoenix, has received 500
from the United States postal depart
ment. This is a reward for capturing
the two men who robbed the postoffice
at Oroville, Wash, two years ago.
Greenwood Ledge.
The robbery that the item from the
Ledge refers to is an incident of the
hazy past, happening SO long ago that
the occurrence has about escaped the
memory of the population. In Feb
ruary, 1912, the local postoffice was
broken into, and an attempt made to
blow the safe. The loss was small,
but the intentions were just the same,
making the crime about as great as
though a stack of money had been TAX
Ell. E. McCammon, then holding the
marshalship, of deputy sheriff, got
very busy, the robbers were located
on the road to British Columbia, and
in conjunction with Constable Stan
field Nc at last landed the suspects.
Guilt was fastened upon the prisoners,
and they were duly punished in the
course of time. Now, under the regu-
lations of the postal department there
is a standing reward for the capture
and conviction of thieves who prey
upon Uncle Sans postal service, and
these officers put in a claim for the
reward. There was no question as to
their title to that reward, but business
through government departments
moves slow and ponderously. How
ever, it can be said that in the end the
departments act justly, although there
is always danger of the individual who
is to receive benefit through that
channel dying of old age before a
claim is adjudicated. In this instance
both officers have survived to enjoy
the reward of merit, although con-
siderably older than at the time they
earned the reward. Mr.. McCammon
received $500 some days ago as his
share of the swag, and as the item
above indicates Mr.. Stanfield has a
century stored away in his pocket. 1t
was long deferment of hope, yet a
neat cash pickup when hope was at
last realized.

threshing around in the grass as
would have been made by herd Oh
horses. In the lakes the carp prevent
the propagation of bass and trout
and it has been a vexing problem how
to get rid of them. Relief has at last
been found in the person of one Jos.
Rowell. a resident of Neppel, WASH.
This individual has discovered, or has
been put next to the fact, that carp
are in great demand among the Po-
lish Jews of New York, Chicago, and
other large cities in the east. Among
those people there has been found a
market for all the carp that can be de-
livered, and Mr.. Rowell is trying to
supply the demand to his financial
profit. Mr. Rowell, under an under
standing with the authorities of Lin
coin county, has almost depopulated
| Colville lake, near Sprague, OF its
carp population. And there was some
population, too, for he snaked some
| ten car loads of the unpopular fish
out of that body of water. Mr.. Rowell
has investigated Whitestone lake
where carp are thick as sardines in u
| box-and other lakes in Okanogan
county, and finds them a rich mine to
work. Geo. j. Hurley informs us that
the game commission has granted Mr.
| Rowell permission to take the carp
out of Whitestone lake and other lakes
III this part of the county. The priv
ilege extends over three years. MI
Rowell expects to sein out all the big
fellows this year, commencing some
time in July, wait a year until the
smaller ones are good and ripe and
then make a final clean up. From the
ticipates harvest of at least ten cal
| loads from milestone alone, and con-
sidering the size of the lake that would
indicate there is so many fish in the
pond that little room is left for water
These fish will be shipped east via
the new branch. 1t requires some
capital to successfully conduct the
business of carp catching on big
scale, as Mr.. Rowell has several thous.
and dollars invested in seins and 9th
e. paraphernalia necessary for doing
the work. While seining is in prog.
ress. and shipments being made. he
employs quite a force of men. Mr.
Hurley will also endeavor to induce
MIR. Rowell to clean out the suckers
and worthless white fish that infes

short of the legal number necessary
