Millions of Salmon.

Alexander Bielenberg who has heen
Tor some time employed at the statt
fish hatchery at Baker lake, was At
the Northern hotel last night descril,-
ing to an interested group of listeners
the process of fish Matching. One OF
the listeners wanted point settled on
which he said he had many times
been argued down. He had always
claimed he said. that q salmon after
once spawning died Mr.. Bielenberg
confirmed this. 1t was true Of all
salmon save the steel head, the trout
of the ocean, which could spawn three
or four times. But the sockeve.
chinook. silversides, hnmpback and
the other varieties died after spawning
once.
"Three million fry have just been
turned into Baker lake." "where they
will remain for one year before seek
ing the ocean. There a:e 100000
left which will be turned out in about
six weeks. When the time comes for
those salmon which have sought the
ocean to spawn they return to Baker
lake. spawn and die. 1t is strange
thing that SO per cent, of the salmon
if allowed to spawn naturally perish,
while artifically spawned IS per cent
will be saved. The reason for this lies
in the irresponsible action of the male
The female carefully deposits her
eggs, but the male drops his milt
wherever suits his lordly pleasure.
Sometimes he hits the eggs more
often not" -P.-I.

At An End.

The fifth legislature of the state OF
Washington is nearing an end. A few
DAYS more and it will have passed into
history. and the evil that it has done
will live after it, while the good, if any
has been accomplished, will not he en-
tirelv forgotten, but leave its impress
upon the future of the state. Much
time has been wasted in useless dis
cussions over freak bills that happily.
never had much chance of becoming
laws, while hundreds of others have
been introduced for purposes we'll
known to the members who fathered
them. There is grave danger that in
the few remaining days of this session
needed legislation will be lost sight OF
and crude, nndi gested laws n'av find n
place on the statute books. Much
care is needed that few of these
measures, of which there are MANY
scores, be not ut The last mo"ent en-
acted into laws. A legislative session
is general scramble and crush, and
the present one, in this state, has been
a conspicuous example OF dis"rdered
and misdirected,.effor 1t is like moth
ing so much as an entertainment
where several hundred guests are pres
ent and the fare provided is not suffi-
Gent for One-fOurth of their number
The man with the longer arms and
the most push gets part Of what he
wants; the others get little or nothing.
The appropriations are the main
things. How long Will it take the
American people to learn that the
present method of making laws is
pretty nearly hopeless failure? This
SORT of work is so repugnant to many
men of the class most desirable as leg
lslators, that nothing will induce them
to undertake it, and consequently the
numhes of good men IN the body is
much smaller than it would he under
normal condi ions. One of the main
troubles with our law makers is that
there are too many of them. The av-
erage stat. legislature has in it more
members than it should have, and the
same might be said of the congsess of
the naii.tn.-Tacnma Lealper
