Fighting Seals with Dynamite.

The seals and sea lions which infest
the mouth of the Columbia river have
created such havoc among the salmon
fisheries that a crusade with dynamite
is soon to be begun against them. The
animals are both shrewd and bold. and
it is said that a seal will police a set
net with great regularity, and take a
bite out of the throat of every salmon
It contains. Frequently when a fisher
man is taking his net into boat and
is about to gaff fish which is entan-
gled in the meshes, seal will rise and
bite its throat. The seal herds con-
gregate on a certain Sandspit in the
mouth of the river. and it is proposed
that dynamite mines be sunk in the
sand and connected with the main
land by wires. When the animals are
ashore the mines will be exploded.
Similar plans are laid for the destruc-
lion of the sea lions. which do not
gather with the seals.-San Francisco
