Froze to Death.

A man by the name of Tom
Taylor, living near Marion,
froze to death during the bit
ter cold of last Saturday
night. He was found early
Sunday morning lying by the
side of the 3 C's railroad
track in Marion. He was not
dead when found but lived
onlya few minutes afterwards.
He had been drinking heavily
the dav before and the natural
conclusion is that too much
whiskey caused him to get
down, resulting in his freez-
ing to death.
We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use the
Cough Remedy, and as a result we
never have to send away for a doctor
and incur a large doctor bill, for
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never
fail to cure. 1t is certainly a medicine
of great merits and worth.-D. S.

The Cabinet Baths at home are better and far cheaper than
baths at public Turkish bath rooms. There is no man or
woman in the world whom Turkish and vapor baths will not
benefit. No one can be perfectly healthy and clearly who does
not perspire freely and frequently.
The sick, sleepless and nervous should use the Bath Cabinet
regularly. 1t has proven a priceless boon to all suffering hui
mainly, and is endorsed and recommended by hundreds of the
most eminent physicians Of the world, and we have in our Office
hundreds of testimonials to show that the Cabinet Baths are
all we claim for them
Give this new Cabinet a trial. Learn of it's great merits, and
you will never part with it; never willingly stop using it, for
the results are too celebrating, too enjoyable, too healthful to

benefit, more enjoyment out of living in a single week, than
you have obtained, possibly, for many years. It does every
thing we claim for it.

with signal force. At the last session
OF congress they voted against pral1
posed constitutional amendment Civ
ing congress plenary power to deal
with the trusts. The excuse advanced
by their leader, Richardson, of Tennes-
see on the floor of the house was that
the resolution proposing the amend

out Of politics this fall. They defeated
the resolution and continued both
themselves and the trusts in politics.
They are in politics as the practical

This is the proposed amendment on

sCongress shall have power to define,
regulate, prohibit, or dissolve trusts,
monopolies or combinations, whether
existing in the form Of corporation
or otherwise.

Which is the Party Of Expansion.

There was nothing partisan about
the war with Spain. The whole
American people, with individual ex-
ception ere and there, demanded
that our Government should put an
end to Cuba's intolerable situation.
Nor was there nything partisan about
the terms of the treaty of peace that
was subsequently entered into. Every
thing that our government has done,
since that treaty of peace was signed,
in respect to. the Philippine Islands
has seemed to us to have been done in
good faith, on principles of which we
have no reason to be ashamed, and
with fair prospects OF highly credit.

ther than all this, we beg to say, with
the most unqualified emphasis, that
we have not the shadow Of doubt that
if Mr.. Bryan had been elected Presi-
dent OF the United States ia 1896, IN
stead of Mr.. Mckinley, he would, in
his capacity as chief executive and as
commander in chiet of the army and
navy, have carried on war with Spain
for the relief of Cuba. and that this
war would have resulted in the an
nexation of all the territory that we
acquired by virtue of the peace treaty
at Paris. Historically speaking, the
| Democratic rather than the Republi-
can party has throughout our history
instinctiyely favored expansion and

No GREAT reform was ever accom-

it, says the Montesano Vidette. Radi-

They are too sudden for the ends to be
sought and become Intellectual through
their own unmatured force. There is
an element at work in this country
that has done more for prohibition
than all the other reformists combined.
It is the railroads. They have exerted
more influence in the direction OF
temperance in the last three years
than has been done by the Prohibs in
quarter OF century. Four OF the
largest railroad companies in the coun-
try have excluded from their services
all employees who arc addicted to the
drink habit, and no young man can IN

Ideas OF The Fishermen.


The following article is suggested
by the observation of one who has
followed seine fishing for the past six
years on Puget Sound, and whose op-
inions on the subject of trap-fshing
are of interest:
DESTRUCTION OF FooD FISH BY Traps
AND WEIRs.
1t is not only the large numbers of
salmon, which are caught by the fish
traps at merely nominal cost per
fish, and enriching the capitalist,
(who as rule resides in other states)
to the detriment of our inhabitants
who would catch the salmon in selnes
and gill nets, and would spend their
earnings within the state, beneftting
the tradesmen and people generally.
But these traps destroy an untold
quantity of edible fish, such as smelt,
herring, rock cod, founders, perch,
trout, ETC., In the summer these fish
abound in the straits OF Fuca and the
Gulf of Georgia, where they go for
feed which is abundant in warm
weather in these waters. Tn the fall
they first enter the Sound proper and
its bays. The traps destroy these fish
BY the ton which fact can be proven
by men who have witnessed the whole
sale destruction.
In order to preserve our fisheries the
traps should be discontinued altogether
or for ten years, at least, until such
time as the hatcheries can cover such
| wholesale methods Of taking salmon.
An example OF this wasteful policy is
shown in the Oregon fisheries, especi-
ally this year.
The HAIR SEAL.
which abounds in these waters from
the mouth Of the Nisaually River to
the ocean, is responsible for the de-
struction of atleast fifty tons of fish
each day,-and nothing but salmon
when they can get them. Now | sug-
gest that the legislature put a bounty
on their scalps the same as for cougar
and wild cats. For example, provide
that any county auditor may pay the
bounty as agent for the state, sending
bill TO the proper officer, to be paid
from the license fund. / think that
$3.50 per scalp would secure many
thousands each year, and by reducing
the pests greatly add to the good work
of the hatcheries About three years
ago the California legislature passed
such law against the sea lions, and
especially those at the Seal Rocks,
Cliff House, which most of us have
seen. The seals congregated at tht
Golden Gate and played havoc among
the vast schools of salmon which en-
tered the bay until the salmon fisher
les of that port of California are mos
paralyzed.

Now, what is equally as destructive
as the traps is the market seine, OF
smelt seine as called hy some. It.
purpose is to catch all varieties oI
small fish as we'll as the large ones
They are made with small meshes, one
and u inch stretched measure, and
some even smaller. These seines and
all seines with meshes smaller than
three inches, the size of the regular
salmon seize, should be prohibited
from being used from May 1st till
September 1st.
The reason. is this. The salmon
spawn In the fall in the rivers, creeks
and lakes and the fish descend the
streams In the carly spring. During
the month of May and early in June
on calm mornings the young salmon
can be seen feeding close to the waters
edge, and when it blows they 60 into
deeper water. They are there from
an inch to an inch and half long.
Early IN June there is a living sub
stance or water insect which comes in.
to these waters, and floats on the
surface especially where the current
is swift. The young salmon go into
deep water and feed on this with other
fish and only come to the shores In
the night for protection from the
larger fish which would destroy them.
The herring spawn in February and
March in the bays OF the sound, and
do exactly the same thing.
The small meshed seines are hauled
in the night for trout and other large
fish which come close to the shore to
feed on the salmon and herring fry.
The seiners drag them ashore, pick
them over for the large fish and throw
the rest out. Not tenth of the small
fish ever live after being once dragged
ashore. 1 am positive that each of
these small mesh seines destroy at
least sixty gallons of these small fish
every week.
l have actually seen as much as two
barrels hauled in at one time at Point
No Point, and all destroyed, and all
young salmon. At least thirty OF
these small meshed seines, one in use
on the Sound each summer fishing for
market. The small seine can be used
for all sizes and kinds of fish, and is
generally used because it saves the ex-
pense of buying two seines. In Sept.
ember most OF these small salmon dis
appear from the Sound going down
the coast to warmer waters and remain
ing for about three years until they
become the matured fish we see.
The California legislature found it

use of the small meshed seines,--why
not this state? Washington should
profit by the experience and example
OF the older state. j. P. Hammond.
The DIMINISHING SALMON.
All who have followed the fishing
industry ol late will agree that the
salmon are fast diminishing in Puget
Sound waters. OF course, there are
"of seasons" but unless the present
greedy slaughter is checked we may
expect to see the end of the industry
! in spite cf the good work of the hatch.
cries. The following will illustrate
this TACT; Here is the number of fish
caught by one man with shree assis.
tants, beginning in 1895 with 800
foot seine, and ending with a 5O0-foot
seine in 1888.
