Speaks of Early Construction.
Frank Small, resident highway engi-
the highway commission in the fall of
1920 He contrasted in an interesting
manner the type of highway constructed
at that time with much better work that
is being done now. Mr.. Small said the
first highways were built with only a
light surfacing of screened gravel, the
commission not having any rock crush
ers at that time. This was soon found to
be inadequate and as the years passed
the engineers and the commission
learned many valuable lessons by ex-
perience SO that now the highways are
being built with heavy sub-base, high
enough to be out of moisture trouble,
and surfaced with heavy coating OF
crushed gravel and oil. He said there
was one compensation coming to the
people Of this district They have been
exasperated over the delay in getting
good highways, said Mr.. Small, but
they will now get much better high
way than they would had the work
been done sooner.

Eggs Laid by Fish

The maximum number Of eggs laid
by fish varies greatly, but in all cases
the number Increases with the. weight
and age Of the fish. Thus 1t has been
calculated that the number laid by
the salmon Is roughly about 1000 to
every pound weight Of the fish. The
sturgeon lays about 100000; the her
ring, $4,000; the turbot, 14,311,O 900; the
sole, $4,000; the perch, $4,000. Brief
ly, the number Is greatest where the
risks OF destruction are greatest.
