Dear Aunt.-As 1t has been so long since 1 wrote you, and 1 am not so busy this morning, 1 will take time and write you.
 Don't know just where I was working when 1 wrote you last, but think l was in the U. s. Cable Office. l am now the operator in, charge of U. 5. Telegraph Office, Ft. W orden, Washington. Have been here for over two months. Like 1t just fine too, for this is q swell post here.
 1 worked at Ft. Ward you know, all last summer. I then went to Seattle and worked in the Alaskan Cable Office for six weeks, then came over here. It was the 18th of Jan- uary when 1 came over here, and have been here since. Auntie 1 am quite an operator now. Can make the telegraph key hum, and also the type writer. l can write nlnesy words per minute on typewrit- CT, and never make mistake when I take pains.
 l am writing to you at the rate of about eighty a minute now, and can receive and send Morse telegraph at the rate of thirty five or forty words per minute, and that is counted a good operator. When l get out of the army 1 can work at Western Union if 1 want to or railroad either. Don't know just yet which l will do. 1 might take a notion to do this another term, 1 don't know.
 You know 1 will soon be in service eighteen months, so you see l will have in half my three years before you think about it; and besides l like it too. But of course 1 am no sol dier at all. Have not drilled five hours in all my enlistment. 1 had a trade when 1 came in and got an easy job.
 How is everyone in old New ark? 1 surely woulk like to come back there for a few days and see how the old town looks. It is soon going to be two years since I was there. And it don't seem as though it was six months ago. 1 have no idea now when l can say I will be back, maybe not till my enlistment is finish ed.
 I surely have had my share

FIFTY FARMERS
In NEW MARKET

The new Lincoln street market is
a growing success. The number Of
farmers using space in this new
venture was nearly 100 per cent
greater today than last Saturday.
While 2s disposed OF their raisings
there last Saturday. in the block be-
tween Fourth and Fifth on Lincoln
street. there we're more than so in
the market today. They were sold
out early to the great numbers OF
housewives taking advantage OF the
proximity OF the market.
Clerk Of the Markets McAteer was
forced TO provide spaces for the new
corners in the block between Fifth
and Sixth streets. All doubt OF the
permanency OF the market was re-
moved when the crowds patronizing
these farmer merchants showed
their appreciation by buying every.
thing in sight.
Mr.. McAteer said he had severa
other applications for space from
farmers. He said he would extend
the market as far north as neces.
sary and then onto the by-streets, 4
necessity demanded the extensions.

TO RAISE MORE ALEWIvES
Massachusetts Department Of Con-
servation Points Out How Supply,
Now Depleted, May Be Increased
(Boston Transcript

o.. NbOSlOn transcript
The marked decline in the alewife
or branch herring fishery of the Com
monwealth is due directly to unwise
legislation which permits exploitation,
everlasting and the building of dams
IN such manner as to prevent the
fish from gaining the spawning
grounds. according to report recently
published by the Division Of Fisheries
and Game, Department of Conserva-
ton of Massachusetts.
After giving the life history and
habits of the alewife thorough study,
this division concludes that it has
arrived at the proper methods of
checking the decline so widely prev
alent. 1t has developed two types Of
fishways for this species of fish,
called respectively the straight run
and the David fishways, each adapted
to different physical requirements,
which, installed at any dam, gives
them access to the waters above with
out difficulty, for spawning purposes.
The former of these comprises a Sc
ries of small waterfalls. not unlike
many to be found in nature, while the
latter is based more largely upon the
plan of the old Bracket type of way,
with battles projecting from either
side to break the forceful flow of wa
ter and provide rest pockets. This
finds it's largest utility in those places
which afford limited space for con-
struction work.
Furthermore, it has been proved by
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-06-14

experimentation that the successful
re- esta blishment of fisheries in those
streams at present depletive or nom
productive. is in most instances very
feasible, if passageways for the fish
be provided at dams, and ponds at
the stream headwaters are available
for spawning purposes, proceeding on
the parent stream theory, according
to which alewives. upon reaching ma
turity invariably return to the waters
which witnessed their early life, to
cast their spawn. This is at present
accomplished by transportation of
mature spawning fish from those
places which they frequent in album
dance to the locality where stocking
operations are to be carried on.
AS methods are perfected, it is ex-
pected that much of this work may be
done with aIewives artificially prop
agated, since it has been demon
strated by the Division that these fish
may be so reared.
