PITchFoRkING FISH.

The Northern Pacific WOnde riand
StorehOnse for Brain Food.
1.-THE waters of Alaska. both oceanic
and inland, have food supply equal
to the demands of continent" said
II. c. Deming, of Vancouver. Nobody
who has not seen the teeIning life il,
these waters can believe the truth.
In Behring sea there are fishing banks
where cod and menhaden are caught
in numbers that put the New Found
land banks away into the shade. The
herring runs are enormous. Ihave seen
the peculiar ripple caused by herring
shoals extending over the surface of
the sea as far as the eye could reach.
and fishermen tell me they are actually
increasing, Notwithstanding the ter
rible slaughter OF seals and black:ish
which not only eats the fish, but catches
seals, and when wounded will attack
an ocean steamer.
But 1t is the salmon runs that excite
the greatest wonder. These fish go up
the rivers in the spring and early sum
mer to spawn, and sometimes in the
shallowcr parts of the stream are so
thick that they actually climb over
each other, and the Indians and others
secure all they want with clubs and
pitchforks. When they encounter
perpendicular fall they leap to an aston
ishing height, and millions arr killed
by falling back to the water and rocks.
Only the strongest succeed in reach
ing the highest points on the streams,
and they are generally SO battered up
that when they are caught on their
return they are not considered fit for
food by the white residents of the
const.
Il have seen the banks of the Skagit
and the Snoqualmie piled up two feet
high with dead salmon that are hauled
away in immense numbers to enrich the
farm lands. and yet there Is apparently
no diminution OF the vast numbers that
come from their winter home in the
deep sea each season. Some idea Of
the wonderful extent of the OF the
salmon fisheries may be obtained from
the fact that the salmon runs extend
from the Columbia to the Yukon, in
Guiding coast line of more than 1000
miles. Denver Republican.

to the army in ease ofhostilities is the
employment of balloons for observa.

money may be soon put at his com.

with balloons, as he believes they
would be invaluable for many pur-

as to gain the most protection from it's

came gale. The sand, which till now
had been but thin, commenced whirling

and after serving through the great
wars Of the Napoleonic era and in al

disbanded in 1920. Its fame az a regi-
ment in history is marred only by the
memory of Lieut.. Gen Whitelock, who
was corEt-martialed for his blundef-
ings in the Buenos Ayres campaign of
1907 and declared ito be totally unfit
and unworthy to serve his Majesty in
any military capacity whatever" From
1920 to 1861 the Twenty-first disap-
peared from the roster of British regi-
ments, but since the latter date it has
had it's share of the various wars in
India and Africa in which England has
been engaged. A detachment of the
Twenty first went up the Nile with
Lord Wolseley in 1884 and was engaged
at Abu Klea. Afterward the regiment
went to India, serving there until 1896,
when it was transferred to Egypt to
take part in the present Nile expedition.
Its record in the Anglo Egyptian army
had been an excellent one previous to
the browning victory Of Omdurman.
Now it has a place second to none in
the British army.

THE "CHINEsE BRIGADE"

4 the organization was sufficiently well
drilled to give public parade in honor
of the victory over the Spanish at San
tiago. The entire thirty-seyen mem
bers turned out and the reception was
such as to do honor to an organization
Of more pretentious character. What
mattered it if, after marching for two
solid hours, some of the younger mem
bers Of the organization were picked up
by carriages? They deserved as much
credit as though the entire brigade had
been able to march for three hours and
then back to the armory from which
they started. It showed that the spirit
of Americanism and of freedom was
just as strong, if not stronger, than in
any corresponding number of white
Americans in Portland or in Chicago or
San Francisco on that day.

theater; and you'll fight horse-bridle
deep in blood, and slavery will melt
away like a boar frost; and out of it
will spring a government Of all the peo-
pie, by all the people, for all the peo-
pie" Gov. Morehead congratulated Mr..
Fairbank on his speech, but said:
"Fairbank, you are crazy. The Yam
KEGS won't fight" ''Well, Governor,
you'll see," replied Mr.. Fairbank. And
he did see. This speech, delivered three
years before the war, was reported in
the papers and made deep impression.
Mr.. Fairbank had a few friends and
sympathizers among prominent men in
Kentucky. One of these was Lieut..
Gov. John J. Jacob, son-in-laW of
United States Senator Thomas II. Ben
ton, of Missouri. Gov. Bramlette was
called by President Lincoln to Wash
ington in April, 1864, to answer
charges, and during his absence Jacob,
as acting Governor, pardoned Mr.. Fair
bank, who went at once to Ohio, where
he stopped for some time with Levi
Coffin and other friends. In June he
was married to Miss Tileston, New
England girl, to whom he had been en-
gagged during all the years Of his i'm
prisonment, and who had done much to
provide for his comfort and to secure
his release. His wife died in 1876. For
some years Mr.. Fairbank made his
home at Angelica, n. Y, where he died.
His name, work and the story of his
suffering for humanity will long have
a place in American history.
