Fish Diseases and in Hand

I'VE have had an exceptionally
successful year, and feel that the
accomplishments during 1925 will
result in better fishing all over the
state for years to come" said State
Superintendent of Fish Hatcheries
Arthur Briggs of Winthrop yester-
day.
"A great deal Of necessary i'm
provemert work has been done at
each of the hatcheries and we have,
in addition to the work required for
actual upkeep Of existing hatchery
property, installed a great amount
of new equipment at several points
where it was needed, in view of the
ever-increasing demands for eggs
and fry that are being sent in from
all over Maine.
Mr.. Briggs has been general su-
perintendent since February, 1908,
his predecessor in office being the
late Wallace Berry of Winthrop.
Mr.. Briggs, therefore, has more In
formation as to the actual hatchery
conditions at his command than any
other state official.

During the forenoon, an informal
meeting was held at the State House,
and the entire party took dinner at

work of the meeting was resumed in
the Commissioners office.
Mr.. Briscoe stated that this year
there were 1875 pupils in the forestry
department at the U. of NJ, a con-
siderable increase over last years
enrolment, and that he expected this
years Freshman class to be larger
than ever.
"The Forestry Course now is -
comprehensive one, embracing a
large number of subjects which are
essentially practical, and which the
student would not be able to take
otherwise than in this course" he
said. Maine and New Hampshire are
the only New England states giving
courses of this type to such an'ex-
tent as we are now giving them. and
az least ten percent of the registrants
taking our forestry course are from

STRANGE ROMANCE OF BUSINESS BEGAN
WITH $500 MORTGAGE ON HOMESTEAD

A -FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR
- mortgage on an old home
stead; the partnership of an ambi-
tious young student of telegraphy
and a college professor whose in
ventive mind turned to electricity:
q small electrical shop in Cleve-
land; out of all these elements OF
romance a business started which
today returns to the names of the
first partners with a nationwide
system of fifty-flve tributing
houses more than $4,000 customers,
and annual sales of 100000
the largest business of its kind in
the world.
Elisha Gray, the professor. left
his classes at Oberlin, and Enos NJ,
Barton. the young telegrapher.
raised four hundred dollars on his
mothers home, in order to found
the firm of Gray e Barton. The
interest on this mortgage. at seven
per cent. was payable in gold, for
those were the days when things
were small but dollars were big.
This partnership was the pre-
decessor of the Western Electric
Company. to the Supply Depart
ment of which it is now also the
successor under the modified name
'Graybar Electric Company. No
other case seems to exist in bust
ness history in which a company
has reverted to its original designa-
ton as a basis for its corporate
name after such a span of years
and period of such tremendous
growth.
The business In electrical supplies
carried on by the Western Electric
Company has been set apart from
the company's telephone manufac-
turing department under the Gray
bar name. Physical separation OF
the two was completed in 1928. and
the growing Importance of an iden-
tity for the supply business apart
from telephone manufacture has
led to the new company.
Electrical manufacturing in the
days of Gray & Barton consisted
chiefly of making various telegraph
instruments. There were also bells.
buzzers. wet batteries, burglar
alarms, fire alarms, and such de-
vices as mercurial thermostats,
electric pens. and needle annun-
ciators. some of which were the
inventions of Elisha Gray.
Ambitious inventors came to the
shop to have models constructed.
One of the main problems of Enos
Barton, as the guiding business
genius of the concern, was the dis
carding of obsolete devices and the
taking on of new ones at opportune
times. Mr.. Barton developed an
uncanny foresight in anticipating
the trend OF the industry. The an
nual catalogues of the company of
themselves constitute history of
electrical development.
The firms pride, exhibited at the
Philadelphia Centennial, was the
electric pen. This rather remark
able device was the forsrunner Of

which have continued to be efficient
and even universally used. For in
stance. the first application of the
electric push button and annun-
ciator as a floor call for elevator
use was manufactured in the seven
ties under a patent granted to
Elisha Gray.
In addition. to products of its
own manufacture. the company
early began to sell an assortment
of related products which its GUS
toners desired to buy. These sup
plies were manufactured on a small
scale by other shops and such mer-
chandising service was the genesis
of electrical jobbing as it exists
today.
One of the best sellers was Gray's
automatic printer, designed for
communication between different
