WASHINGTON STATE WATERS
TO BE RE-STOCKED WITH FISH
Bpokane, Wash., August 3.—Spo
kane Fish Protective association has
completed arrangements to (liberate
, between 6,000,000 and 6,000,000 cut
throat and rainbow trout and crappie
fry in the lakes and rivers of the In
land Empire before the close of 1911,
the first being placed in Liberty and
Newman lakes In Eastern Washington
next October.
S. S. Drew, superintendent of tha
Spokane hatcheries, who lhas 260,000
trout fry on hamd, says that more than
2,000,000 will he hatched during 1910
and that the capacity of the plant twill
be increased to 5,000,00 0a year in
1911, which Is believed to be sufficient
fry to restock the waters in this part
of the Northwest, The crappie will
came from the government’s hatch-
pries.
Efforts have been made by various
organizations during the last three
years to. obtain crappie fry, but were
oiusuccessful. Officers of the associa
tion report that the government will
co-operate with the .local men In re
stocking the streams iwltb these east
ern fish. The associativa will assist
In enforcing the state fish laws.

Jersey coius to the accompaniment-cl
a' phonograph containing the latent
popular musical selections, A daily
record Is kept of th* quantity produc
ed at each milking.
One evening the milking was~ in
progress during the playing of the
phonograph. The milkers noticed that i
some ci the more Irritable cows we -e |
quiet, and some one suggested thy
they enjoyed hearing the music.
The next night one of the milker;,
brought out a phonograph and put tn
a number of such- records as he bi
iieved would produce a soothing ef
fect. There was the same Increase in
the milk yield as on tile night of the
barn party.
ince that time the pronograph has
been an established fixture in th
Longyear dairy, and the pillliers say
that they will not he without It. The
cows, as well as the milk, they sar,
show a marked improvement.

WHERE JOSEPH BEAT HOAXl’S
IN COUNTY AND DISTRICT
Several Facts of Interest In Former
Campaign.
Atlanta, Ga., August 3.—Hero arc
some facts worthy of remembrance
which are Just being brought to the
attention of the Viters of this county:
In the primary of June, 190S, Joseph
M. Brown carried his own ward In
Marietta (the Second); his own city,
Marietta; Us own county, Cobb; his
own senatorial district, (the Thirty-
fifth) and his own congressional dis
trict, (the Seventh).
But he went a way further.
Mr. Brown also carried Hoke Smith'll
ward in Atlanta, (the Sixth); Hoke's
city, Atlanta; Us county, Fulton,
Hoke's senatorial district, (the Thir
ty-fifth) , and Hoke's Congressional dis
trict (the Fifth).
• Never since Hoke Smith has been a
candidate for office has he been able to
carry hlB own ward. In the 1906 elec
tion, when Mr, Smith swept the state
by ■uch a groat majority, the word In
which he lives was carried by Claik
Howell.

At Uinta, Ga„ August 3.—It looks very
much as If there would be no general

the senate has passed one bill and the

houses to get together an It.
Since travel over the state In auto

law for registration and regulation o’
automobiles is considered a necessity.
The acts of other states have been
consulted and authors of bills endeav
