SALMON GREEK AND THE LAKE
 TO HAVE FISH
Trout Eggs Arrive Here and Being HatChed in Special Building
 at Thane.

Salmon Creek Lake, above the big dam of the Gastineau Company and Annex Lake are to be stocked with fish by the Government Fisher Jos Bureau during the coming sum- mer. The first shipment of trout eggs arrived from the south on a recent boat and are being matched ,t Thane under the direction of an official from the Fisheries Bureau, who accompanied the eggs north.
 Several months ago the manage. ment of the Gastineau Company and others requested the Department for .rout eggs to stock the lakes, as .nere were no fish in either. The eggs are of the Eastern Brook trout md were secured in Colorado from 1ne of the large hatchcries. The first shipment which arrived the 1ther day consisted Of 17O,O00 eggs. The old compressor house at Thane las been fitted up for hatchery and as soon as the fry are large .noligh they will be planted,
 It is thought that more of the lit lie fellows will reach maturity than 's usual as neither of the lakes to 5e stocked have any fish in them, md there is nothing to prey on the mall fry, except each other
 A second shipment of eggs is cN- oected on one of the next boats and after their arrival they will be matched and planted in one of the lakes. If the experiment. is sue ,essful it will mean much to the 5portsmen Of Juneau and vicinity as the Salmon Creek dam lake is with,
 n good walking distance from Ju- leau, and the Annex Creek lake is ! nice days trip from Juneau by gas boat.

For Itching Eczema,

"I guarantee my ointment" says
Peterson, "to cure eczema; TO stop
the itching at once and any reliable
druggist will cheerfully refund your
money if PETERSONS OINTMENT

do"
William A. Carley OF Franklin, n.
Y, is surely a wise man. He writes:
"I used PETERSONS OINTMENT on
a little boy suffering terribly with
eczema. It did the work"
Then there is Alex. Louttel, a
brave fireman Of Buffalo. who is glad
to write as follows: Il had an old
sore on my leg for many years. The
best doctors failed PErERSON'S S

Written for The United Press.
WASHINGTON. March 27--The ac-
,ion OF the President IN adopting the
merit system in the appointment of
first. second and third class postmas
ters and taking this patronage out
OF politics will save the government
at a conservative estimate, twelve
million dollars a year and will in
crease the efficiency Of the postal ser
vice. This system becomes effective a
week from Monday
There are 567 first class Offices;
.2.213 second class; 7431 third class
and 1898 fourth class offices. The
fourth class offices were placed in the
classified civil service several years
ago by President Taft.
The application Of the principle,
however. was so perverted that II did
not bring the desired result Three
names were certified on a list or eli
gible applicants. In nearly all cases
there was at least one democrat on
the list and in nearly all cases this
democrat was appointed. lt only
brought the system inro ridicule be-
cause It was a sham and a hypo-
critical application OF Il.
This did the merit system harm be-
cause some who took a superficial
view Of the matter blamed the prln-
ciple itself for the result whereas the
real fault was the failure TO apply in
truth and in fact the merit principle.
The criticism really was against the
old spois system masquerading in
the guise OF the merit system
So far as announced the fOrthcom-
ing order viii not affect incumbent
& postlnasters during their present term,
! but will apply TO appointments or re-
appointments az the end OF that term.
Instead Of a perversion OF the prin-
ciple by giving the appointment TO the
democrat on the list OF three the ap-
plicant standing highest on the list
and having the other necessary quail
ications as 10 general character, viii
be appointed regardless Of politics

of order. This year when the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill came TO the senate II con-
tanned certain general legislation re-

gave an opportunity for an amend
ment on the same subject and I re-
offered the amendment taking the
post ONCE appointments out of poll

be appointed on merit in accordance

service rules.

The congregation OF ST. Thomas r.
G. Church, Fourth and Grant avenue
under the pastorate of the Rev. John
j. Connolly, a tireless. efficient and
popular leader in the cause of moral
ity and clean citizenship, needs a new
church. When this parish was started
by Father Connolly, thirteen years
ago. in a little pine-board shack, his
people succeeded in struggling along
by their own strength alone. Now ST.
Thomas has 800 parishioners and
the present place of worship, on the
first floor Of a combination church
and school has been outgrown. So the
pastor and his flock aspire to a more
suitable edifice in which to conduct
their work for humanity. To secure
funds with which to erect a new
church it has been decided to launch
campaign in this city about the mid
die of April to raise 100000 in ten
days. Members Of the parish, mem
bers of all other Catholic parishes I'm

which has been achieved, will be

raised, is TO erect on the present sit

Ever try TO count the dead hairs in
your comb and brush? They are natures
advance warning of future badness and
proof that the dangerous little dandruh

dandruf and falling hair are caused by
a microbe. Then came the discovery Of
the value Of the real Parisian Sage
liquid form in destroying the dandruf
germ and preventing the further loss OF
hair. In many instances the effect OF
only three days use of Partisan Sage Is
simply marvellous and the American
people are now awakening to the TACT
that dandruff is just as unnecessary as
il is unhealthy, and that they can be

using few ounces of Partisan Sage.
Parisian Sage is sold for not more
than so cents a large bottle at drug
