New Fish Hatchery Needed.

State Fish Comm ssiOner, A. G. Lit
tie, speaking of fish propagation says:
After year in the Office of fish com
missioner, am convinced of the ne
cessity for the establishment of more
salmon hatcheries in the state Ac-
cordingly, shall recommend to the
legislature the building of at least
seven more hatcheries. There will he
nearly $4,000 in the fish hatcher,
fund at the end of the season, which
will be applicable to this purpose."
As to the probable location o. the new
hatcheries to be erected, Mr. Little
.avors placing one on the White river
and another on the Nisqually river
now enjoys good run OF salmon. 1t
Is possible, Mr.. Little said, that hatch
cry for the Skokumish river will b.
urged upon the Legislature. The Nook
sack river, which empties into Bell
ingham bay, will probably be selected
as the site for still another hatchery
and it is possible that a location tor
another Oh the Snohomish river will
be selected.
The state has now four salmon
hatcheries, by means of which the fish
are perpetuated by artificial means
every year. The eggs are taken from
the females and placed in wood or
metal troughs through which pure
water is allowed to run. The eggs are
fertillzed or emitted" by the extract
ion OF milt from the male salmon and
the eggs are allowed to hatch in the
trays. When the fish are from nine
to ten weeks old they are allowed to
run into the small stream on which
the hatchery is located, whence they
find their way to deep salt water.
They return fully grown at the end of
the fourth year. and in their efforts to
work their way up the stream where
they were Matched they are caught
by either the traps or the gill nets of
the fishermen. Thence they find their
way into nicely labeled tin cans and
are sold in every country on the globe.
The four hatcheries of the state are
located as follows One at Baker lake
a second at Kalama, on the Columbia
third on the Chinook river, and the
fourth on the Chehalis. The Chehalis
hatchery was only completed a short
time ago. An ordinary seasons ont.
put for hatchery is six million frv-

i lat NlsEit Revenue Law.

The poor Old revenue law, the prize
effort Oh I.e p3pulist legislature, has
again come to grief. Supreme and
circuit courts have scored every time
the law has been brought to trial; and
now the encouragement takes iall
out of it. That official gives an opin-
ion that warrants issued prior to the
taking fleet of the revenue law must
be paid without respect to the law, as
Its provisions which were held to ap-
ply IN such cases are imperative, be-
ing an impairment of contracts, and
the comfy is advised to proceed in
the matter as if the law had never
been passed. In another case where
his opinion is asked as to the issue of
warrants III payment of debts, the
county authorities are again advised
by the attorney general "to follow the
same course as if the revenue act of
1897 had never been passed."

The Forestry Reserve Still On.

Some time ago we announced That
the Forestry reservation had been
abolished. 1t, was SO reported in the
sundry CiviH6ill, agreed to by senat-
ors and. Representatives, and the pleas
ant information sent out that it would
,pass Congress without debate. Every
paper in the state then announced
that "the Forest Reserve has been
abolished" Settlers in those sections
affected plucked up courage to further
improvements hnmeseekers hegan to
look for locations;' prospectors pre-
pared to again search for precious
metals; confidence was once more es-
tablished, and the state began IL snow
an activity that promised stabl" and
continuous prosperity.
The bill quietly passed the House
and went to the Senate, and there the
Honorable Arthur P. German, OF Lau-
rel, Maryland, held it up. To his side
flocked the insular Fasteners, en-
masse. They are fighting hard to
fasten upon lis this illegitimate claw
which Was conceived in prejudice and
stored in hatred, nursed in ignorance
and clothed in falsehood. They may
not think so, but, if the forestry re
serve becomes law, it will stop immi-
grafton, it will stop mining, it will
stop developments, and result only IN
disaster.
Senator Wilson, in arguing for the
adjustment of the reserve said:
[ do not know why the order should
have been made as to the State OF
Washington. The two great rivers OF
the State have their sources in British
Columbia, and all of the other rivers
have perpetual and everlasting sup,
ply, until time sh9ll be no more, from
the glaciers of Mount Rainier In ad-
ditiOn to that we have an annual rain
fall in Western Washington of 1Oe
inches
So, Mr.. President, it would Sc N
that there was no necessity, so far as
preserving the watershed OF Western
Washington is concerned, for this
withdrawal. The timber lands with
drawn by this order do not contain
merchantable timber.
That is the crux of the whole mat
ter. There is no reason, and no neces-
sity, for the reserve. If this outrag
be perpetuated. it will only be because
of the senseless hate of the East for
the West. Thousands of the best citi-
zens of the State hope this thing thai
will blast their hopes and nullify their
endeavors will not be allowed to stand.

The Latest War News.

MAY 31.-About midnight Sunday
night two Spanish Torpedo boats were
detected in a sneak out OF the harbor
at Santiago to strike some Of Commo-
dore Schley's vessels. They were
sighted from the Texas shortly alter
leaving the shadow OF the mountain,
and the search lights were turned on
them. Soon the rapid firing guns of
both the Texas and Brooklyn began
raining shot on the torpedo boats and
they were forced to return to the har-
Dor without doing any damage. A
call 10 quarters was sounded on the
other ships, IN the belief that all OF
Cervera's fleet was coming out IN a
desperate attempt to escape.
JUNE 1.-Meagre details have been
given out to the effects, that squad
ron OF fourteen American vessels had
begun the bombardment of the fOrti
fcations at Santiago, and the dis
patches this morning indicate that al
the defences were reduced to ruins
but the Spanish fleet took refuge be.
hind a headland and did not enter the
engagement.
Details of the movements OF the
vessels or troops in Cuban waters arc
not being given out by the depart
ment, and the dalies have been pretty
"dry" during the week.
The first expedition has been sue
cessfully landed in Cuba.

YEAST OF LONG DESCENT.
Brought from Ireland, and It's Steel

Brought from Ireland, and It's Stock
Goes Back of CromweIl's Time.
Mrs. Barbara Curran, who lives near
East Orrington, Me-, has a stone crock
on a shelf in her cellar which is filled
with yeast, and both the crock and the
yeast came over from Ireland in her
possession in 1916, says the New York
Sun.
She came to America when girl, and
brought the yeast as present to an
aunt, who lived in South Boston. The
leaven was . renewed with freshly
scraped potatoes three times during the
voyage on the sailing packet that
brought her to this country. When
she found employment as a cook in a
Boston boarding house she took this
yeast along and kept it alive and Wig
orOus until she was married in 1853 and
went to live in Medford. Before the
war her husband moved to East Orring-
ton and took up the farm where he now
lives. Though they were poor and had
much hard work, the yeast was never
allowed to die out or get stale. The
crock in which it is kept is hand-mold-
ed brown earthen vessel, holding about
two quarts. 1t was made and baked on
the farm of Mrs. Curran's father, who
rented place near Galway. Mrs. Cur
ran says this particular kind of yeast
has been kept alive in the Norton fam
lily since before the time Cromwell's
soldiers came along and found her
great-great-grandmother making bread
for the troops of King Charles T., and
hanged her to an ash tree in front of
the house.
