to dozen hard working expedients fol-
the collection of sufficient financial
means. The object they have had in
view all along has been to turn the in
stitution over to the city as soon as
they were able to place It on a good
running basis. 1t is in that condition
now, and we believe It is their earnest
desire that the council should recognize
the fact, and take hold where they
have left off.

the reasons why this should be done |
A free city library is blessing to any
municipality and the possession OF
such an adjunct is one of the thing
that gives any town standing to b'
proud of among It's neighbors. So a free
library let us have. and quickly.

First Fish Story
Of the Year,

Here Is the first fish story of the sea-
son, but unlike many Of its fellows 1t is
perfectly true and accurate in every
particular;
Captain Wilson, Of the Bark Kitty,
has on board specimen of fish which
Is no less wonderful than 1t is beauti-
full. 1t is q huge albacore and weighs
1926 pounds. 1t was caught by Captain
Wilson about two hundred miles south
Of the line. A great deal of trouble Is
usually experienced in catching deep
sea fish, for the reason that about nine
out of every ten hooked twist so much
that they break the line before they
can be got aboard, But the captain
was taught trick by an old Chinese
fisherman that enabled him to over
come this difficulty, he takes an Or
dinary piece of wire rope and cuts 1t
into lengths of about six feet. This is
then unraveled, and the thin strands,
with loop In each end are made into
long fish line. BY this means the
twisting OF the fish, instead of turning
and breaking the wire, simply makes
each OF the loops revolve slightly with
In the other, and the whole retains
Its full length, Several albacores had
been caught during the voyage, besides
lots OF other fish, 1000 pounds being
captured during the trip, but when the
monster that the captain now has, was
hooked, half a dozen men had to hold
on TO the line to keep It from getting
away, The hook on the wire was
common Columbia river sturgeon hook
and It was expected that 1t would give
way under the strain. For three hours
the men played the monster, and sew
eral times he jumped out of the water,
When 1t was at last hauled alongside.
Captain Wilson put ten bullets from
his Winchester rifle into its carcass, and
these failing to kill It, he finally dis
patched 1t with n harpoon. The men
who had been hauling on the thin
strand OF wire had their hands badly
lacerated during the excitement. Cap
tain Wilson, who is no mean taxiderm-
ist stuffed and mounted the specimen.
and It now ornaments his cabin. The
immense size of this fish is remarkable
when 1t is considered that an albacore
Weighing $50 pounds is thought to be |
extraordinarily large.

men to take on their own shoulders
what should have been the cheerful
burden Of every one Of us.

We received circular yesterday
from the Womens Building in Chicago
asking us to state our opinion as to
whether women should or should not
compete with men in the business walks
Of life.
In answer, we believe that the ex-
detrimental stage in women's bread
winning work has long since1 passed.
1t is no longer a question whether
women if allowed, can create and ex-
ecute for they have proved their
ability to do both and to do them more
than ordinarily well. 1t is said that
fifty-eight years ago when Harriet
Martineau visited this country, she
found American women engaged in
seven INDUSTRIES, not including domes-
tic service. Today, 1t is said, the oc-
cupation Of professional diver Is the
only one in which American women
have not entered. But, notwithstand-
ing this. we believe there is lamentable
congestion in some of the fields. The
average woman ought to be made to
understand that school teaching,
domestic service,and sewing, all hon
orable calIings are not, however, the
only ones in which success awaits her.
