Pony Express and Rail.

The recent meeting of California
pioneers in Chicago gave rise to some
very interesting "reminiscences bear
ing upon the progress of rapid loco
motion. Among those who attended
the meeting was Alexander Majors,
ono of the first to establish pony ex-
press. The dangerous road from st.
Joseph to Sacramento, CAL, was 1000
miles. The service on this road en-
ployed 400 horses and sixty-five regu-
lar riders, exclusive of men kept in
reserve for emergencies. The shortest
limo previous to the ponyexpress had
been twenty-one days. The pony ex-
press made the journey regularly in
less than ten days. 1t was thought a
wonderful achievement when Buchal-
ans last message was carried from the
Missouri to Sacramento in few hours
over eight days. Lincoin's first mes
sage broke the record, i'll seven days
and seventeen hours, which meant250
miles on horseback every twenty-four
hours. Having now united two oceans
by rail We are just as impatient as ever
to get there quicker. We shall never
be satisfied till we make the air COM

Salmon a Cent Apiece.

Probably humpbacked salmon wero
never cheaper or thicker in Tacoma
than they are right now. All sizes
from three to six pounds arc selling
for one cent per fish. A batch of 107
were sold TO an enterprising express
man yesterday for 81. About $500
fish were brought in during the day
by fishing boats.
Tie fish pcddlers came down in full
force and loaded up their wagons and
started back uptown singing: "Fresh
fish here. Five for nickle!''
The fish, which for the pnst two
weeks have been playing in schools
around In the bay, arc now beginning
to go mp the river and the creeks.
Their meat on this account is not ms
good rs it has been heretofore. Fish
ermen say they will soon disappear
up the streams and the silver salmon
will put in their appearance. Two or
three OF the boatloads brought in YES
terday were caught in the channel of
the Puynllup River The difference
IN the meat of those and the meat of
the ones caught out in the bay could
be plainly seen. The meat becomes
whittier and is less firm.
The silver salmon in turn give wav
to the hideous dog salmon, which will
not appear for several weeks yet

The Chesapeake Oyster Industry.

The oyster industry is very inn
portant one in Maryland in the neigh
borhood of the waters of the Chesa
penkc Bay. Indeed, it has been said
that this industry WAS more fruitful
and important than any other, because
by it moro people were directly and
indirectly supported. 1t is possible
that, leaving out agriculture, this may
be so, MS i'll the industry more than

while the remaining Is, 900 are kept at
work Mt Smelling. grouping, packing
and so on.
There are two ways OF taking
oysters, dredging and longing, and in
the season of 1923 there were over 900
vessels engaged in dredging, and a
great many more than this in tone9ng.
The crews of dredging vessels vary
with the capacity of tho boats, and
range from captain and five men to n
captain and twelve men. These men,
by-the-way, though they must work
hard, and are exposed to grent hard
chip md frequently to danger, are not
well paid. Therefore good class of
labor is not attracted A Maryland
State officer who recently investigated
the oystormen of the Chesapeake said
that the dredging crews were made up
from "the lowest stratum of nearly NIL
nations on earth" The tongers are of
better class, and are usually natives
OF the Chesapeake counties The life
of the oyster-catche is hard and
thankless, as he can scarcely ever hope
to earn more than enough to sustain
himself meagrely They are out in

infrequently they are very unsuitably
clad for such work Many of the men
SO employed go out in the coolest
weather, with no heavier body cover
ing than half-worn flannel shirts.
Last winter vessels were frozen up out
III the bay, while the crews were
without either food or wnter. The
officer before alluded to has expressed
the opinion that if the tender hearted
among the oyster consumers knew
