one had to do was to throw graphing
hook into the river anywhere and pull it
in to shore with q salmon or two hooked.
There was no need of any bait or anything
else. 1t used to be nuisance Sometimes
these fish were so thick IN the stream that
we could not use the canoe till night time,
when the salmon would be asleep and
still. Two or three feet of water would he

had all the salmon we wanted to eat and
more, too.
Il have heard, said the Vice President,
that the Chinooks eat the salmon raw.
THAT is not true, said Frank; all our
salmon were boiled in the liver."
How could you boil them in the
river?"
Boil them? Why, the river was teem-
ing (steaming> with them"
"Oh!" and tho story was duly recorded.
The President had fallen asleep, 50 the
Secretary called on one of the oldest
members to contribute something of an
interesting nature.

I was up in Montana near a place now

enter largely into tho construction of the
mercantile marine of the United States,
says writer in the Chicago Inter ocean,.
Since this change the use of metal in
ship building has greatly increased, and
in vessels propelled by steam has prac-
tically usurped she place of wood. 1t
has extended ever the transatlantic,
transpacitic, and coastwise trade to our
own lakes, and the network of rivers and
canals, whose ramifcations extend the
advantages of water transportation over
great area of the United States.
1t has been said that the change from
wood to metal was not a good one; that
stout oak would withstand greater
strain than steel, and that wooden
vessel on a rocky reef would live longer
than ship constructed of iron Or STEEL
Without touching the relative merits OF
material used in the construction OF the
hulls, the purpose of this art Gle is to
show to what an extent, i'll architecture,

be about equally divided. You cannot
compare the two, said an old and eype-
rinced vessel-owner and ex-master yester-
day. The lake steamer is so EAR the
stronger and better of the two in every
respect that comparison is out of the ques-
ton. This refers alike to the sailing YES
sci and the steamship. OF the former
will relate an incident which will bear me
out in the assertion.
In the fall of rs the schooner Pamlico
cleared this port for Liverpool With a
cargo of grain. She was regular lake
trader. 1t was the first load OF gram
which ever was shipped direct, and the
first Americ n bottom the Canadian Gov
ernrIent granted permission to go through
the st. Lawrence Klvor. The boat got out
and ran into the Atlantic in the teeth
of a westerly gale. She was typical
laker, tf-bottomed, roomy beneath the
water line, and of little draft. Well, sir,
she got the weather good and hard. She
lost one of her spars, and her canvas was
tom into shreds. To make long story
short, she was driven before the westerly
gales for six weeks, disabled and without
enough canvas to give her steerageway.
In this fashion she scudded from St.
Johns to within 500 miles of Cork. where
