FISH COSTLY FERTILIZER.
stock Fry Washed Onto Fields through
Irrigation bitches.

Thorough tests of devices to prevent
flsh from entering irrigation bitches are
TO be made by forest service officers
who say that thousands of the trout
placed in western streams by the gov
eminent are killed through being carried
into the bitches and washed out on the
fields There are not less than 100
irrigation projects on or near the ma
tional forests, and in many places the
loss of trout is very heavy. The amount
Of water used in irrigation, it is said,
often determines the advisability of
artficially stocking the streams.
The government annually plants large
quantities Of fish fry in the streams OF
the national forests. Last year over
10000 were planted in Colorado and
Wyoming alone. This was done to
render the forests more attractive to
the public by affordinE good fishing.
Where much Of the water is used for
Irrigation, unless the bitches are SCREEN
ed, the trout enter them and are wash
out on the fields While fish are said
to make good fertilizer, officials think
that trout are too expensive to be used
for that purpose.
Most of the States in the West have
laws requiring that the bitches be
screened, but these laws are seldom en-
forced The farmers are said to dis
like the screens, because they collect
drift-wood and trash-which prevents
the free flow of the water Very often,
too, 1t is stated, the farmers can sup
ply their families with a mess Of fish
by collecting trout which are found In
the fields.
A number of devices for screening the
bitches are in use, and while two or
three have been found to be fairly eff
fective most Of then are said TO be
unsatisfactory. 1t Is asserted that this
subject presents an excellent opPor-

Washington June 23-The House TO-DAY
adopted the Hay resolution which au-
thorizcs the President in an emergency
to draft national guardsmcn into the
service of the United States as soon as
they take the new oath for that service.
The resolution will probably pass the
Senate tomorrow.
The acutcncss Of the Mexican situa-
tion resulted in the Introduction of the
measure Thursday Three days ago it
was announced by MIR. Hay that the pro-
posed legislation would not he pushed for
ten days or moro. as there existed no
immediate necessity for the authority
contained in the resolution. Following
the battle between American and Next
can troops there was a shift in plans,
and the resolution was put in at once.
No mention of Mexico or foreign soil
occurs in the resolution. but its intro
duction is designed to give the President
authority to use the national guard just
as he may employ the regular forces Of
the United States. Although there is n
conflict of opinion as to whether this
specific authority is required i'm order to
send the guard across the border. tho
war department officials deemed it cs-
sential and Congress will act according
ly.
Passage of the resolution added to the
pcssimism at the Capitol over the NLXi-
can outlook. The legislation is described
as precautionary, but many members fear
it is the fore-runncr Of serious trouble.

Their hurry. however, was too great,

fore they were well out of the way,
Spike had released his feet and gain
ing the track was running at full
speed back to where Helen was wait
Inc beside the Special with her friends.
These latter saw a bareheaded man
dashing down the track, waving his
arms.
They've got Storm" exclaimed
Spike. They carried him off first, to
throw him into an ore car. They
meant to throw is both in. If they've
thrown George into one of those cars,
the minute it's loaded, he'll be killed."
Helen blanched. To threaten Storms
life was to touch her heart. 1--WE must
get aboard" she cried to those about
her, "and run the train up to the mine
without losing a minute. Hurry" she
cried, Everybody"
Rhinelander fastened the excited
guests into the cars, signaled the con.
ductor and the Special, swiftly gather
ing speed, started to catch the freight
train at the mine.
In the gondola into which he had
been flung, Storm, pounded and
shaken owe the rough rail joints,
gradually recovered consciousness.
He knew he was in no danger until
he should reach the mine, not even
then, II he were only able to cry out.
But struggle as he would, he could not
release his hands and feet nor the
gag that half choked him. Every
movement of the train was SO familiar
to him that it added to the horror Of
his situation.
He was hoping 1t might stop before
1t should reach the deadly chute, for It
was this that constituted his peril.
Revolving rapidly In his mind the
features of his situation, he felt the
car rolling slowly and monotonously
on until it seemed as If the train must
have traversed twice the length of the
switch-the track of which he was IA
miliar with-and the farther he was
pulled, the worse his ~predicament
looked.
The car rolled slower and slower.
He knew well what the engineer was
doing: pulling ahead to spot the last
gondola under the chute. Storm saw,
as the condemned man sees the blade
OF the guillotine poised above him.
the chute itself come into sight. The
next moment his own gondola drew
under 1t and stopped.

you can, won't your" she pleaded.
Tense and collected under the
strain, Helen, staring through the open
cab window, had only eyes for the ore
cars, which in another moment she
saw stood in on the switch with the
last gondola spotted for loading under
the chute.
What car had Storm been thrown
into? The question racked her nerves
and clutched at her heart.
With Storm still struggling on the
car floor, the foreman of the ore plant,
taking a fresh chew of tobacco, sig
nailed: "Ore oni" A man below threw
the lever and the jagged quartz rock
tumbled with a roa into the chute.
Storm, working to free himself, had
heard the foreman's order, heard the
deadly rush of the falling rock. 1t was
only as the great chute-the one which
he, himself, had helped to install and
which worked with such fatal efficien-
cy-slowly descended that he gave up
hope.
A cry outside, a woman's voice, hard
Iy reused him from his stupor. But the
next moment he felt a great shock. 1t
seemed as if he were launched precipi-

roar crashed on his hearing-con-
seriousness left him.
