The Salmon Of Alaska.

"It is not generally realized,n said
Walter G.. Elliot, of Portland, Ore,
that the salmon fisheries of Alaska are
in some respects more important than
the seal fisheries, which caused so much
international argument. Five or six
thousand men are now employed in our
extreme northwestern territory in the
salmon business, and nearly a million
cases of salmon are canned every year.
The only difficulty is the utter reckless
less of those engaged in the work.
Under ordinary conditions the salmon
in the Alaskan rivers ought to hold out
for hundreds of years without causing
any apprehension. As it is, however,
methods are adopted of destroying the
salmon at wholesale, and thousands are
killed every month in excess of the
number that can be handled proftabiy.n

sides is an engineer On the Panhandle,
and was in charge on the day of the
fatal wreck in the cut near Burgetts-
town some time ago. He gives the fol-
lowing graphic description of the wreck,
and how he and his fireman were saved
from death:
"We were going at the rate of twenty
five miles an hour, and just as we en-
tered the cut l saw the runaway cars
coming toward us. To- shut off steam
and whistle down brakes was the work
of a moment. I was off my seq and on
the step the next second. ALL This time
my mind was at work. To jump meant
death, for the sides of the cut were steep
and to jump against it would only result
in being thrown under the train. l re-
membered a slight depression about the
center of the cut, which if we reached
before we struck the oncoming cars we
might jump and be saved. 1t was the
last desperate chance, for to ride into
the wreck meant sure death. l was on
the engine step and my fireman on the
tender. We had not Exchanged a word.
We did not have timaffor it was all over
in a few seconds.
"The depression vas reached and we
both jumped together and landed in the
hollow, blowing up the ground with our
noses. The next instant the crash came.
l got up and walked about ten feet, but
had to give up. The jar was too much
for me. l escaped with badly sprained
ankles and bruises, while the fireman
had an arm broken" Said he in con-
clusion: 81 have been on the road for
eleven years and that was my first Sc.

little hollow in passing and thought it
might come in handy some ay."-Pitts-
