its needs. Her talk likewise included
a resume OF the accomplishments of
the Rawlin organization during 1924
1925 and a plea for the continuation
of the arnes and sincere co-opera-
ton of all the members in The under
takings OF the Wowan's club.

Eight Mile Lake
Found Swarming
With Fine Fish

A little less than four years ago
Coroner NJ. Il. Pickett. then a deputy
game warden, made requisition On
the state fish hatchery for some fish
fry with which to experiment in Eight
Mile Lake and In response to his re-
quest the state department sent a
limited number of silver trout"
The spawn from which these fish
were Matched was obtained from Ia
coma. Washington. and the h
proved to be q species OF land locked
salmon. Since they were placed in
the lake they have beer practically
forgotten until recently when 1t was
discovered that they have been grow
ing wonderfully.
Fishermen have beer unable to
persuade any OF the fish t o bite at
a baited hook. thus apparently prov
ing that the feed in the lake is
excellent. but 4 few have been caught
In nets. Some Of these. which were
babies" three years ago. were found
to have attained a growth OF 20 in
ches In this time and to weigh around
three pounds.
Superintendent Cook. OF the state
fish hatchery At Laramie. was In the
city yesterday and visited the lake
on a trip OF Investigation. II was
found that the salmon were now
spawning. but that II Is too late TO
get n OF the eggs for Matching pur.
poses this year. The interesting fact
was made known during Nj. Cooks
visit that this species Of fish begins
to spawn At the Z Of four years
and that after depositing the eggs
the fish promptly proceeds TO die.
The hatchery superintendent also
visited Saratoga yesterday and It is
said that he has determined to try
and get some more salmon spawn
from the Warrington hatchery to be
placed in other lakes in Wyoming.

endeavor to select a number of pris-

ed addition to the Worland Industrial
Institute is commonly known.
A tentative list of 81 names was
made, which Is subject to revision
by the board as a whole, and these
men will be taken to WOrland as
soon as arrangements for their trans

atively young and for whom there is
definite hope and promise of reform.
The idea of the lawmakers was to
~segregate, as far as possible, this
class from the older and more hard
ened inmates OF the ~penitentiary.
During the time that has inter
vened since the enactment of the law
1t has been necessary for judges in
many counties to sentence young
men from II to 81 years to the main
penitentiary, there being no other
place available. and this is deemed
to be an undesirable practice for all
concerned. The laws under which
the Worland branch was erected and
the plan for its use, are given be-
low:

entitled AN Act providing for the
erection and equipment of an addi-
tionaI building at the Wyoming In
dustrial Institute in order to relieve
the crowded condition at the Wyom-
ing Penitentiary," approved February
81, 1921, after reviwing the con-
gested and overcrowded condition of
the penitentiary, provides that the
state board OF equalization at the
time of making the annual tax levy
for the years 1921 n 1922 shall
direct the various boards of county
commissioners to levy a tax of one
fourth of one mill for the purpose
OF creating a fund in the hands OF
the state treasurer, 20 be used under
the authority and direction of the

provisions OF Section 629 Wyoming
Compiled Statutes 1920.
This section provides that when
ever there is room available at the
Industrial Institute at Worland the
state board shall select from among
youthful, well-behaved and promis-
ing convlcts" a sufficient number
from the penitentiary and transfer
them to the Institute for education
and treatment under the rules and

angle, the discussion including the
outstanding b o n d e d indebtedness
principally and the means which
were being taken to provide for its
ultimate amortization as well as
provisions for interest charges and
maintenance.
Interest naturally conferred in the
water bonds, which constitute the
greater part Of the bonded debt of
the city, and the methods which have
been and will be taken to set aside
funds for interest and maintenance
of the system, while at the same time
taking care OF a sinking fund with
which to redeem bonds as fast as
they become due or can be purchased
in the market prior to maturity.
1t was shown by the committee
that the city is nov bonded for a
total of 1927 900, h including
and water bonds, the former
amounting to but $4,000. From
this Is deducted $21,763.S6, which
has already been set aside as a sink
ing fund, leaving a net liability OF
$705,236.14. On this Indebtedness
there Is a fixed annual interest charge
of $4O.650, or approximately $500
per month.
Monthly revenue from the water
system as now assessed and collected
is approximately $4,000 per month,
$39,60O per annum, or about $1,000
less than the interest charge on the
bonds outstanding. Added to this is
the present cost of upkeep of the
water system. which the committee
said It had been credibly informed
80, .ho,s 81 gAn -.NrA
In the discussion which followed
the part Of the report referring to
the water system and the bonded
debt incurred to establish it the
opinion OF those present seemed to
be unanimous in favor of an i'm
mediate raise in the water rate and q
more vigorous enforcement Of the
rules for collection OF such rates,
many now being declared delinquent.
Opinion seemed to be general that
the rate now charged for water
should be raised SO percent or more
and that this could be done without
the slightest protest from consumers
for many reasons II was pointed out
that prior to the acquisition OF An
abundant supply OF pure water for
all domestic purposes. h~ouseholders
had been obliged to buy spring water
for drinking purposes. also soap and
chemicals for ~softening the old sup
ply: that hours for sprinkling had
been restricted and that the supply
was never entirely adequate. All
of this has been done away with
under the new system and 1t was
stated without dissent that there
need be no fear Of any objection to
reasonable raise in water rates,
sufficient to cover the charges re-
ferrsd to.
