The Salmon OF Alaska.

Walter G. Elliott, of Portland Ore
gon, "that the salmon fisheries OF
Alaska are in some respects more I'M
portant than the seal fisheries, which
have caused SO much international mr.
gument. Five or six thousand men
are now employed in our extreme
northwestern territory in the salmon
business, and nearly million cases OF
salmon are canned every year. Tho

ness of some of those engaged in tive
work. Under ordinary conditions tho
salmon in the Alaskan rivers ought To
hold out for hundreds Of years with
out causing any apprehension. As it

destroying the salmon Mt wholesale,
and thousands are killed every month
in excess Of the number that can be
handled proftably. The most I'M
sportsmanlike methods are adopted,
including seining, dynamiting and
other illegal as well ns uniustifiable
money-saving plans. If more Amori-
cans visited Alaska public opinion

these practices, but as it is, more

From its cool, dark couch of sleep,
And shall thrill again, as Of old

IfLiOn Pulls and Horse Pulls.

II a lion and strong horse were
to pull in opposite directions, the
horse would pull the lion backward
with comparative ease but if the lion
were hitched behind the horse and
facing in the same direction, and were
allowed to exert his strength in back
ing, he could easily pull the horse
down upon his launches or drag him
across the ring, so much greater is his
strength when exerted backward from
the hind legs than in forward pulling.
