A Menace to Puget Sound Fish.

Ii the dolorous complaints of fisher
men are we'll founded, there is an evil
which our State authorities may we'll
investigate while yet in its incipiency.
The increasing scarcity OF salmon and
other varieties of edible fish seems to
have kept even pace with the cstab-
llshmcnt OF sawmills and single fac
tories all along the borders of the up
per Sound and its numerous inlets.
When questioned a. to the producing
cause Of this depletion in the finny
tribes, the dealers and middle men
very naturally refer the inquirer to the
fishermen themselves for final solution
Of the vcxing problem. And when
approached on the subject the fisher
men declare that the sawdust from a
hundred and one milling points and
single factories is suffered to fall BY
the snip load into the Sound proper
and its estuaries, and that the pres
encc OF this material is driving the
fish down into the lower Sound waters
and from there into the Straits of
Fuca and finally into the ocean never
to return.
The complaint also recites, with
emphasis, that the sawdust from
single factories is far more deletcri-
Gus to the fishes than that which
comes from the sawmills whose prin-
cipal product is fir and spruce lumber.
This fact is said to result from two
causes. In the first place, the dust
from cedar is more deadly in its effects
than that which comes from other
kinds OF wood. In the second place,
the fir and spruce sawdust being OF q
greater specific gravity when water
soaked, than cedar, it sooner falls to
the bottom out OF the way of the fin
ny tribes. But the cedar dust, re-
naming upon the surface of the
water, or sinking only to moderate
depths, is taken into the mouth and
vitals of the fish through their breath
ing organs, and being unable to ex-
tricate themselves from it's mis-
chievous effects, they slowly succumb
to its poison, sicken and die.
This is the story told by practical
fishermen of long experience, and in
proof of their theory they have time
and again exhibited many specimens
of fish with their gills stuffed full of
the fatal cedar dust from single mills.
The fishermen declare, moreover, that
unless adequate means are taken to
prevent this wholesale mingling of
sawdust with the Sound waters, the
fish that now constitute such great
source of food supply to the people in
Western Washington, and revenue to
the State at large, will either perish or
be wholly driven from our beautiful
inland sea, never again to return to
their spawning haunts. This is any
thing but pleasant thought and the
grim outcome limited at is certainly
within the bounds of a physical prob
ability.
There have been some hopes of
adequate legal restraint being imposed
in the early days of the sessions OF our
Legislature as remedy for this grow
ing evil. Such laws as were enacted
may have been adequate to meet the
case as it existed years ago, when the
mills OF the Sound country could have
been counted upon ones fnger-ends,
but the evil has grown to such alarm.
ing proportions to-day, that it should
claim the first attention of our next
Legislature.

OLYMPIA may well feel proud OF the
representation it has in both Seattle
and Tacoma by the cafes established
for the sale OF Olympia beer. They
are first-class in all respects and are
rapidly placing the Tumwater pro.
duct in the front rank as State pro.
duct. In fact we can safely affirm
that there is no like product in the
State, or on the whole Coast, which
equals it, and the main effort OF the
Capital Brewing Company now is to
widen the difference of excellence be-
tween that and competitive products.

Well one more wonderful look
ing sight has happened. Two of
our young men had a wonderful
hard time breaking what they
called horned mule. The first
half day that they drove him they
said they had worn out the wheels
and was still dragging the shafts,
but as both of them have black
smith shop1t did not take very
hard work. for them to prepare
more wheels and more shafts. So
after dinner they renewed their
drive in the direction of Smyrna,
and when they had gone some
distance the horned mule run
away, banging the wagon against
a tree. Then the fun commenced.
They had to take the wheels off to
get loose. The boys said they
We're broke just good as the horned
mule.
Joe, have you caught that min
now that knew you every time
you crossed certain creek?
Nobody is SO wise but he has
folly enough to stock stall at
Atlanta's state fair.
One of our young men decided
that he would save up some Eas-
ter eggs by filling his vest pockets
full, and while out in the field at
work he told his brother TO bring
his vest to him. Not knowing the
eggs were i'll the pockets, he put
the vest on the spring seat and
sat down on it, and the Easter
eggs were in mess. BEULAH.

Office, etc., if you will allow me

ty. Maple Ridge is a tract of ~
acres of land, elevated abont rs
feet above the surrounding coun-
try, nearly surrounded by water
furnished by. a spring gushing
from the rocks from the tableland
on top of the ridge.
There is about 4 acres in culti-
walton; the remainder is covered
with bamboo, poison oak and
blackberry vines. The home of
the snake, lizards, rabbits, owls
and hawks. 1t is the only place
in the county where the moon
sinner can live in peace, undis-
turbed by the revenue officer.
There is only ID of the gentlemen
at present located there manufac-
turing the overjoyful. Each one
has his plant fenced around with
barb wire as guard against sur
prise parties.
There is one cottage, 12x14,
built of maple logs, that answers
for a home and postoffice, when
the postmaster is sober enough to
be in office. Rural postmasters
have a weakness that way, and
nearly all love to indulge. The

and helps me get up the news
around her settlement. But | do
not like for her to put such stuff
in the old woman's head as pean-
ners, nor no other anna; yet /
can't get mad with her, she is so
good. She would not be consid-
cred pretty, one eye being drawn
the side of her nose about 4 of an
inch by five; her mouth was melt
ed at the same time and spreaded
from ear to ear. She is red-headed
and inclined to be sluefooted as

YOUNG MEN IN THE SENATE.

The election of young MT. Beveridge, who is but 35, to represent Indiana in the United States senate, draws atten- tion to the fact that that body is in one sense becoming each year less vener- | able. and that the number of those who may be termed young men, actually and relatively, is increasing Senator Butler of North Carolina is but 35, Pen rose of Pennsylvania 3S, McLaurin of Heitfie1d of Idaho 40, Walcott of Colo rado was but 41 and Chiffon of Texas but 38 when they took their seats a few years ago. In contrast with these are Morrill, of Vermont, who has just died, and Hoar of Massachusetts, each in the eighties, and the Alabama sena- tors, one 75 and the other 78, while Connecticut's representatives are both over 70. But the relatively young men now appear to be in the majority The average from California is 51, Della ware 50, Montana 46 North Carolina 38, Nebraska 51, Oregon A, Washing ton AS. The grave and reverend senate of old whose portals were considered too sacred for young man to cross, the place for deliberation for only the oldest and ripest judgment, is passing away. There is distinct tendency to replace the old men who drop out with men more energetic if not so ripe in experience, and there does not appear to be any evidence that it is for the worse. In point of aggregate ability the American senate is still the finest deliberative body on earth.

FORAKER AND GERMANY.

Senator Foraker's speech on expan- sion contained a phrase or two, which seems to have given a good many per sons the impression that Germany pro- mises us trouble. if we are not very careful. It is not true that Senator Foraker spoke for the administration. He is almost persona non grata at the White House. But he is a member Of the foreign relations committee, and in that committees executive meetings he learned the presidents views, and in all probability, some Of the presi- dents secrets. All that transpired with France, Germany, England and the vatican during the Spanish-American war. while the United States govern ment agents were probing into the feel ings of other nations toward us, was not given to the public. On the con- trary, the presidents own breast today holds many a grave secret which even his cabinet officers have never shared But the foreign relations committee of the senate and the foreign affairs com- mittee of the house have had some Of the presidents cofidences, and no doubt Senator Foraker did not break faith in virtually declaring that Germany coyets the Philippines and means to have them if Uncle Sam let's go. The body of the senate has accepted the statement of the senior Ohio member as inspired and will give due weight to his revelations in legislating on our new foreign relatfons.-Kansas City World
