WHOLESALE SALMON FISH

WHOLESALE SALMON FISHING
One of the most ingenius machines
for catching fish in use on the Colum-
bia river is the fish wheel Three
great scoop-nets revolve on an axle
hung out from the rear of a scow an
chored near the shore When the wheel
revolves, each net as it rises from the
water dumps it's catch into a slanting
trough attached to the axle, and from
there the fish slide into another trough
which conveys them into the scow.
The swift current propels the wheel,
which is set with the open side of the
net down stream, and the fish swim
into it, so that the river and the fish
themselves do all the work, the fisher
mans only task being to convey the
fish from the scow to the cannery. A
story which would carry sorrow to the
souls of the imaginative fishermen of
Pike County, Pa, is told of the own
err of a fish wheel near the Dalles, Ore
gon, who fell asleep during a lull in
the run of salmon one afternoon, and
left his fish wheel running. When he
awoke, his scow was sinking under the
weight of the fish who had caught
themselves during his slumbers, and he
was compelled to swim for shore.
Ingenius fishermen have taken ad-
vantage of the rugged cliffs that Dor
der the river at some points, and have
erected great wheels on stationary an
chorages, with tramWays leading di-
rect to their canneries, and the indus
try of catching, canning, and shipping
salmon is carried on by them with all
the system and accuracy of a manu-
featuring business. When salmon are
caught on a scow wheel they have Of
ten to be carried considerable dis
lance to the cannery. Squaws are in
demand for this work, as they carry
loads over the rocks that would be
impossible to a white man, The squaw
carries a large bag on her back, which
she holds open with one hand while
she losses in the fish with the other.
She hooks her fingers in the fish's
gills, and throws it with a quick jerk
over her shoulder into the bag.-Har-
per's Weekly.

| Dr. Peter Stems has apparently come
from st, Petersburg to London to cleal
up the few remaining points on which
electricians are in doubt
He gave an interview yesterday, with
reference to Sir William Freezes new
method of using the Morse code in con-
nection with the wireless" system,
and this is what he said
II have read some account of Sir
/ William Freezes wireless telephone
experiments, but may say that | am
not working on anything lige the same
principle, / am not working on Her
zian waves at all. My principle is that
of using only one means of conduction,
namely, the earth. simply send cleo
tricity through the earth, from one ap-
paratus to another, in sympathy with
it.
mo high poles, nor balloons nor any
thing of the kind, are required for my
system.
My apparatus is small and portable.
Of course l cannot, for obvious reasons,
just at present tell you about it's con-
struction and method Of use.
Il don't know what Sir William has
in his mind for the future. but 1 claim
that by my invention not only taps, but
the spoken words the sound of the hur
man voice, can be heard, andb that at
great distances. ] have already car
ried out successful experiments over
short distances, with excellent results.
Soon L hope to be in a position to give
a series of practical demonstrations in
the presence of electrical experts"
Mr.. John Gavey. assistant engineer in
chief and electrician at st. Martins de
Crane gave father a different idea of
what is expected of the latest develop
ment of electrical science. People
seem to have gone wild over wireless
Biography" he said to a Daily Mail
representative. "They think it Is going
to revolutionize the whole telegraphic
system of the country. Now, as mat
ter of fact, where there is a good I'M
derground connecton-that is, con-
nection by wire between two points
y
eXcelled by any wireless system that
has yet been discovered.
wireless telegraphy is a valuable
system where two points cannot be
practically connected by wire, as for.
instance, rock lighthouses or shipping,
and where the cost of direct connec-
ton is prohibitive. I wish to be most
careful in all say about wireless tele-
graphy, and while I do not wish to do
any harm to those who are interested in
it, am unwilling to give it any official
Endorsement which might render any
one over-enthusiastic concerning its
immediate prospects.
so far we have found that the al
most insuperable bar to wireless tele-
graphy is the fact that all communca-
tons made without the use of wires
may be caught and made use of, by
any other installation within the radius
of the operating instrument. Sir Will
liam Preece takes a personal interest in
experimenting in Carnarvonshire, and
it is, of course, possible that at any
moment the invention may be perfected
in such a way as to render it practical
BILE where it is at present not so.
AT the present moment we consider
it an invaluable invention where the
cost of laying wires prevents such
method being adopted London Tally

were fine stalwart men, many of them

themselves with the most aristocratic

contained from 10 to Is men who, with
their long, tapering paddles, made the

walking through the thicket, to be
comfortably reclining while whizzed
along at about eight miles an hour, for
the current being strong in our favor,
we often made quite that speed One
set all day and gazed along the banks
Of this marvellous river. Sometimes
elephants sporting themselves in the
shallow water near the bank would, for
a moment or two be visible; forest
antelope, too, were often seen having
their evening drink, while all the while
the monkeys chartered in the trees
and screamed at us as we passed.
The villages of the Bangwa We're most

cone-shaped structures attaining
height of from Is to 20 feet AS we

that the political com mplexion of every
School Board in the State has been
changed. Because some boards that were
composed solely of Democrats prior to 1896
now have Democratic minority representa-
ton, it cannot be inferred that the Cover
nor intended to have them so. He could
not have done otherwise, for the terms of
the minority members have not expired
| The GorerROr made erery change he posi-
bly, coald, and having done so, it is fair to
assume that his inclination to make every
school board solidly Republican ,oas only
limited by his opportunities, In Carroll only
was Democrat appointed to succeed him
I self, and he is the only Democrat in board
/ Of six commissioners. In all other instances
throughout the state Republicans have
invariably been appointed to succeed
/ Democrats whose terms had expired 1t
/ will be seen, too, that in a majority of the
counties experienced Examiners and assist
ants have been replaced by inexperienced
Republicans, and in several other counties
efforts to make changes failed because of
disagreements among Republicans as to
candidates. Look ut the changes in Bal
timore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Dor
chester, Hartford, Howard, Montgomery,
Prince Georges 5, Somerset and Washing

was made in Anne Arundel and Charles
The Republicans seem to have regarded
the Public School system part of the

To secure the employment of Republican
teachers The school examiner in Prince

was held over until after the Republican
primaries on September ,, so that each

I school boards are as partisan as the Re
+ publican central committees, and the school
system Is run exclusively in the interest of
the party first, with educational interests
as a secondary consideration.
Gov Lowndes made all this possible by
turning the school boards over to partisan
Republicans, and his interview in the Sun
