Mr.. Andrew Johnson. the salmon buyer
OF Cathlamet. was in the city yesterday,
Speaking Of the fishing situation for the
coming summer he predicts a shortage
Of boats on the river at the opening OF
the season. and also thinks the quantity
Of gear used will be inferior 10 that OF
any previous season. The up-riyer fish
ermen are putting up very little new
gear-a good deal less than last season
and the local cannery at Cathlamet is
making no preparations for the opening
Of the season. He ascribes this inactivity
to various causes, and expresses the opin-
ion that, with the opening Of the season,
salmon will bring as high, II not higher
price. than was paid the fishermen last
season.

true dipbtheria is called the Klebs-

Cultures OF this bacillus are obtained

in TASKS OF beef bouillon-a modified
form of beef tea-which are placed in
an incubator and allowed to remain
there at body temperature, from seven
TO fourteen days. The TASKS are then
taken out and the bouillon examined
microscopically to make sure that no
foreign germs are present. The bouillon
is next filtered under strong pressure
through sterilized porcelain, which
takes out all bacteria present and
leaves the clear, TRANSPARENT fluid,
which now consists of the original
bouillcn plus the poison which the germ
secreted during its growth. This lat

virulence of the bouillon containing
this toxin must now be determined be
