tablished or maintained by occasional
visits TO the lanJ. Inhabitancy must
exist In good faith and be exercised 10
the exclusion OF a home elsewhere.
To acquire resid ence under the home

considered in determining whether the
claim Of residence Is made in good
faith. A claim OF residence is not con-

Some writer's are contending that, as
result of this years cun of salmon
on the coast, the supply is falling short,
and that the methods pursued on the
coast to catch the fish have resulted
in rapidly depicting the supply To
some extent this is true, but most Of
the criticisms being made are based
upon a misunderstanding Of the facts.
The run this year is comparatively
smaller than It should be and when
compared with last years enormous
run the catch and pack show remark
able decrease. Fishermen and cannery-
men agree that unless artificial methods
are adopted to keep up the supply the
operations Of fishermen will in time de-
plete the supply on the coast. The
state Of Oregon has taken practically
no steps toward remedylng this condi-
tlon when compared with the splendid
work being done in that direction by
her sister state, washington, Oregon
