were shipped to us from the U. S.
Government Hatchery at Leadville. So
it was necessary to hurriedly dig an
other pond. You have read of how
the Canon City business men went up
and dug this pond.
Then on July 27th the last 100. 900
Rainbow were sent down from the
State Hatchery near Denver.
These young fish have to be fed
every day. Mr.. Morris, in charge OF
the d. & R. C. pumping station, at
tends to the feeding. and no hen takes
better care of her fond brood of lit
tie chicks than Mr.. Morris gives these
little fish-l90.o00 now in all.
The best food is ground up liver

Sometimes it is hard to get liver.
Then dried blood and corn chops o,
clabbered milk is used. II has been
costing about SIS month to feed the
fish at Parkdale and will cost more
now with the large increase in the
family.
All of this work has cost some
money. 1t has been put up by Canon
City folks. who believe it is a good
business proposition to make fishing
stream of the Arkansas river The
work it has taken on the part of the
committee and other members of the
Chamber of Commerce cannot be esti-
mated. Somebody goes up to the
ponds every few days and there is
always more work TO be done.
But they are getting results and
take keen pleasure in the work.

The committee went up In automo-

Denver on the train. Mr.. Ribbing.
superintendent of the state hatchery,
was in charge. and no baby needs
more tender watching than bunch of
young fish.
Mr.. Ribbing carries a thermometer
and takes the temperature of the water
frequently. The 100000 young trout
about four weeks old-came in thirty.
three fish cans. The cans are similar
to milk cans and hold ten gallons OF
water The water is kept at a tenn
perature of so degrees. To regulate
this Mr.. Ribbing used 600 pounds of
ice on this short trip from Denver to
Parkdale.
When the train arrived the thirty
three cans. weighing about ninety
pounds each. were hauled over to the
ponds on the banks of the Arkansas.
The water in the pond was tested. 1t
showed about 50 degrees-too warm.
So cold stream was turned in and
the temperature brought down. Then
the fish were turned in by sinking the
cans. turning them over and pulling
them out empty.
This is really wonderful work

Now the Canon City way, which is
becoming popular. is to put these small
fish in nursing ponds. Feed and care
for them until they are from three to
six inches long and old enough to
shift for themselves. then turn them
in the river. At this size most of
them will live. With the number be-
ing put in it is only a matter of a
few years when the Arkansas river
ought to be as great fishing stream
as the Gunnison.
This work was only begun in May.

When they were put in the river
they were from five and half TO eight

In August. 1915. 100000 Rainbow
were put in another pond at Coaldale.
In May. 1916. 10000 Eastern Brook
were put in the Coaldale pond. They
were turned out in July TO make
room for another shipment. They
were about three-inch fish.

during the period when all
the land and means of the
country were not taken up by
whites just as a landlord can
not rent or lease his estate to
evictable tenants-the whites
could afford Indians and Neg
roes "sojou IN" in the land
But against the Gay when
there should be loo,ooo.ooo
Indians, loo.ooo,ooo Negroes
and 1oo.ooo.ooo whites--a
total population of 500, 100000
they made a provision of
entail that should then give
the country wholly to the
whites only. This provision
occasioned the determination
of the Indians and the en-
slavement of the Negroes, in
a manner l can explainto you
clearly only by reviewing the
old property laws of England.
You will follow closely my re-
view of these laws.
Originally when England
had but few people. the land
twas owned in great estates by
feudal chieftains, whose ten
ants titled the ground. These
chieftains titled as dukes,
lords and barons governed
the country as the House Of.
Lords. as representatives of
ltha tasskaAstsaaea3uSof of
the sake of this power of gov.
erping (the head of an estate
being senator by virtue of
having an estate) it became
desirable to keep these es--
tates whole and i'll the family.
10 that end a law of entail
was passed. which passed the
estate forever 70 the eldest
son or next of blood in the
family and deprived any heir
OF any power to Sell or give it
away. Under this law of en-
tail every child was disin-
herited of land except the
Oldest son who was the blood
of the line" AS the popula-
ton of England increased,
while the number of estates
renamed constant in time,
there came to be millions in
England who did not and
could not own land. Land
could only be acquired by in
herltance and only the blood
OF the line could inherit.
Hence the heirs to estates
were the "blooded aristoc-
racy' of the land, the envied
privileged class, and any other
person who. by birth or rela-
ton, even stood in the line of
succession to an estate was an
object OF public alteration as
a blessed being.
The law of entail of estates
in England made a distinction
between the right of posses
sion and the right of Inherit
ance. Now the original con-
stitution of England was such
a vague puzzling inapplicable
body otlaw, that when Judge
decided a case by it, his de
cision as a precedent, was
taken tor guidance instead of
the law itself.
A number of these prece-
dents in time became the real
law of the land as the l,uoe

a ten-hour day to one of eight hours.
AS competition in most of their work
was very keen, the change could not
be made unless costs could at least
be kept from increasing. The situation
was studied for many months, and as
leaks and wastes were found, meas
ures to stop them were put in effect.
problems of power. light. heat. humid
ity. handling of materials. ETC., were
studied and conditions improved. AIDE
quate methods of planning and dis
patching the work were installed. with
the result that delivery dates were
met and idleness In the plant reduced
to minimum. Finally, the eight-hour
day was inaugurated amid great re-
joicing on the part of the employees.
In fact, the good feeling engendered
was so deep rooted that 1t Is still very
much alive in the plant. The COM
pany also has every reason to re.
joice, as costs were materially re.

.ENTR4RcED sY GYPSY MUSIC


People win tell you in the Balkans
that a gypsy camp is to be avoided;
yet I used to hail them with pleasure.
They added to the wildness and saw
agery of the nature about Us. One
day, several miles from Uskup,, our
horses raised their heads and listened
to something we could not hear. At
first we thought they were smelling
human blood; but we came to the
conclusion that something different
caused their interest, since no tremors
Of fear were passing through them.
Refining them in, we listened, but,
hearing nothing. started to ride on.
After while a sound Ike faint
moaning of a torrent came to us. The
effect on our horses was very pecu-
liar; they seemed to have forgotten
their fatigue. and were siding along
in a way that made me nervous.
Finally we made out that it was
weird strains of music that reached US.
I'VE are nearing a gypsy camp"
my brother said with relief. Some
one is playing with more fire than
usual"
Within sight of the camp. the music
came to us in its full beauty or its
full horror. l do not know which.
Since then l have heard many great
masters play; but such music as that
have never heard. 1t was heavenly;
1t was hellish. Our horses were as
much affected as we; they pranced as
II they were steeds Of great mettle,
instead Of poor. scrawny Balkan
ponies. AS for me. began to dream
of things unheard, unknown. only
dreamable.
Sitting on a wagon. a youth waa
hanging over his violin. playing
playing like mad. Presently, with.
out interrupting his music, he sprang
from the wagon and paced back and
forth. still playing torrentially. We
sat fascinated both by the player and
his playing. trying all the time to quiet
our horses.
At last the music seemed spent
the boy let his violin fall to the
ground. where he, too, threw himself
and the music was succeeded by
heart-breaking sobbing. His weeping
like his music. was as torrential as g
storm Like it, it ceased when it had
reached its climax.-Century Maya
