following these youthful mourners
came a score Of elder persons who
had known and loved the boy.
From almost their earliest infancy
Young Lindstrom and Robinson had
played by the river, in the river and
on the river, until II was az an old
friend. and they thought they knew
its every change and mood. Storms,

they knew the currents which would

NO SHORTAGE OF SALMON.
Catch on the Sound VIII Be Fully a.
Large as Usual.
There's a Xmas Present
in II for You

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in
discussing the fishing situation on the
Sound. says:
According to old salmon fishermen.
there is no indication that this viii
be an of year in the catch on Puget
sound and in adjacent waters. On the
contrary. it is said there is every like
lihooi Of it being a fairly heavy one.
The theory Of an of year" said ia
cob Fritch, Of Fairhaven. at the Seattle
last night, is very much like the
stories about ghosts told to me when
was boy. They frightened me and
made me behave myself. But why
this practice was carried into the
fish business is more than l can under
stand. There win be good salmon
catch this year on Puget sound or
miss my guess. The present high
price for fish is not due to any antici-
pated shortage in the catch. but par
ticularly to the increase in fisher
mems wages and the advanced lists
on salmon.
The price is not by any means too
high. and will probably remain around
6 cents all season. Canneries are all
points on the Sound are preparing to
put up a large pack. larger than ever
before. This is creating demand that
helps prices to advance"

DANGER OF OCEAN WRECKS.

1t is stated that the Atlantic ocean
contains may wrecked vessels which
drift hither and thither. and as their
positions change with the winds and
tides. they are a constant menace to
ocean traffic. Because of the great ex-
pense they are not destroyed until they
have inflicted actual damage. How
like this is the action Of many per-

The board Of public school directors

The resignation Of Mrs. Olsen as
Janitress Of the olnsy school was ac-

ed 10 the position. Mrs. Charles Moore

atcly.
il was decided that such school sup
plies as are needed from day to day
should be obtained only upon ar or
der from the clerks Of the respective
districts. the clerks to retain dupli-
Gates Of the order. Clerk Ferguson
states that It is the desire Of the board
that all mer ,hants bear this order in
mind and refuse to deliver goods to
anyone unless the regulations are COM
piled with.
A communication from the principals
OF the city schools was received in
which it was recommended that the
present school term be extended two
weeks. The principals state that un-
der an extension the work Of the
schools can be closed up to much bet
ter advantage. The directors decid-
ed. however. that they were not in a
position TO grant the extension owing
to the fact that at the last annual
meeting it was determined that there
should be a nine-months term. The
board. therefore, was powerless to au-
thorize a change.
The clerk was authorized to ascer-
tain the amount Of wood on hand and
how much would probably be required
for the balance OF the year. This de-
temined. MIR. Ferguson will advertise
for bids for the supply found necessary.

BRAEMAR ARRIVES IN PORT.
Has Light Oriental Cargo and a Large
Number of japanese Passengers.

The British steamship Braemar,
from Vancouver. B. c.. with a light
Oriental cargo, for Portland, came in
during yesterday forenoon. In addi-
tion to her cargo she has 144 japanese
and one Chinese bound for Portland.
The Braemar brought altogether 1,O65
Japanese to the Northwest country,
all of whom are supposed to be con-
tract laborers. Thousands of Japanese
contract laborers have been landed in
Canada, or more properly, British Co
lumbia. by nearly every steamship
from the Orient ard have made their
way into the United States without
molestatlon through Sound ports. The
government has taken steps to stop the
entry of the little Brown Men" into
this country and in so doing is act
ing in concert with the Japanese gov
ernment which is endeavoring to pre-
vent the emigration of the emporor's
subjects. especially at this time, when
the attitude Of Russia is so menacing.
The Braemar was given clean bill
of health at Victoria ana was passed
by the quarantine officers here. The
steamer is under charter to one of the
American railroad combinations.
Referring to the visit of the Brae-
mar at Victoria, B. c., the Colonist, in
speaking of the landing Of Japanese
at that port, goes on to say: "Al-
though British Columbians have been
congratulating themselves that this
province is not to be the abiding place
of the incoming Japanese hordes-that
all would soon find their way across
the boundary line, there to work on the
American railroads-there is danger
of disappointment in this connection.
The United States immigration officers
have taken alarm at the numbers Of
Japs coming in, and are proceeding to
extreme measures to prevent their set
tling in the States Strict attention is
being paid to the enforcement Of the
alien labor law, and as a result some
thousands of coolies who quite intend
ed working in the United States may
soon be forced upon the population Of
this province. More than half Of the
little army Of Japs brought by the
Goodwin nave. according to telegraphie

reports, remained in this province to
find work in the cannerias and for the
canneries; while at least 100 Of the
Mllos' contribution are going into the
mines OF Yale and Cariboo. Dispatches
from Helena, Montana, state that the
influx Of Japanese by way Of Victoria
is exciting serious consideration by
the labor bodies of that state, and ac-
tion toward restraining their entry in
to the United States win be taken
through representatives in congress.
The Great Northern railway is looked
upon as the prospective employer OF a
majority OF the new arrivals, and the
labor organizations are watching close
ly to see that the contract labor law
is not evaded by this corporation"

Objection IL justly made by the Fin
