Death Of B. f. ROderick,

Benjamin F. Roderick, died at his
home, on the old Walter place down
the bay last Tuesday July ;, of par
lysis. He was stricken four week S
ago, but not until week ago, did he
decline so as to make his recovery
doubtful. He has been failing year
and believed he could not outlive the
sumner.
B. F. Roderick was born in Fayette
Co., Pa, Dec 17, 1892; moved to Green
! Co. Wisconsin, 1916 and in 1889 was
IN arr;ed to Ellen Wheeler who survives
her husband. In 1878 he brought his
| family to Dakota, where he resided for
sixteen years. After few years in
Wyoming, MIR. Roderick thought to
get farther West and moved to this
state selecting the splendid fruit farm
ow ned by William Walter, which he
purchased. Besides his faithful help
mate. Ellen Roderick, aud his son l..
r. Roderick, and the 1atters family
who made their home on the place,
r. T. Roderick has a brother and an
other son now living in Wyoming Mr..
Roderick came to Mason County with
means and has done his part toward de-
veloping this section. The funeral
services were held by ]. B. Ritner at
the home, and a large gathering OF
friends and neighbors were present.
Ten boats followed the remains to Shell
ton where they were inferred on We'd
nesday afternoon.
The bereaved family desire to ex-
press their thanks to the many kind
friends and neighbcrs who extended
aid and sympathy during their trial.

The Steelhead Not a Salmon.

TACOMA, June 22.-The ultimatum
of President David S. Jordan, of Stan
ford university, is that the stee1head
salmon, so-cal1ed, is a trout" and is
therefore entitled to entry for the
prize offered by E. a. Kiniba1l of this
city, for the largest trout caught in the
Northwest. August Hagerman, of
South Prairie, caught a 9-pound 6-ounce
steelhead, but the fishermen who had
caught nothing bigger than a six or
seven FOUNDER, objected to the entry
claiming the steelhead was a salmon.
Mr., Jordan was made the referee, and
his decision will result in all steelhead
and rainbow varieties being barred
from all future trout contests. Some
fisherman say it is d libel on the trout
to call stee1head by that name.
President Jordan's letter is as fol
lows:
''The fish to which You refer is 4
very old male steelhead trout. its scien-
tific name being Salmo Gairdneri.
The steelhead is not a salmon but a
trout, and it is very belief at present
that it differs from the rainbow trout
only III having been to the sea. The
name rainbow trout, as we use in Cali.
fornia, IS term applied to the noun
tain individuals which never got tc
the salt water. No fish having eleven
rays in the anal fin red band along
the side can be sa1non.''

1.-The common supposition is that
cats are averse to the water" said a
citizen of Baltimore to q st. Louis
Glcbo-Democrat man recently. but I
once saw cat that took to the water
as naturally es dog. happened
to be crossing the Mssstssippi river in
a roWboat one day. when the man who
was rowing ne across suddenly said:
Gld you ever see c cat swim sir?' at
the same time pointing over the stern
OF the boat. On turning around I saw
large black and white cat swimming
about IN the middle Of the river. On
inquiry found that the cat was in the
habit of swimming every morning
from the shore TO an island in the river,
where it visited lot OF fishing nets
that were spread out there to cry, and
picked up the dead fish. and also
hunted Tor rats, which aboundcd on
the island. After becoming thorough
ly satiated the cat would commit him
self again to the Uater and swim home.
The next day determined to try and
witness the performance again, but
arrived at the waters;de just in time
to see him return from his mornings
hunt. While swimming the cat kept
most of his body out Of the water, his
tail being held erect in the air like the
mast of ship"
