specie be obtained in sufficient numbers
to satisfy their demands. The other
varieties are used to complete the pack
and form the cheaper grades. The
sockeye salmon runs from six to
twelve pounds in weight, and is popu-
lar with the canneries because of the
depth and stability Of its color and the
firmness of its flesh. The sockeye run
and in those months the greater part
of the salmon pack is taken. Every
fourth year the run Of salmon Is much
larger than usual, according to the sta
tistics of the last twenty years. The
largest run ever known was in 1897,
when the fish were taken in such
quantities that the Gamers could not
handle more than half the catch. An
other phenomenal run is expected this
year, according to the four-year scale
On this expectation the salmon trust
is depending for good start. Most OF
the labor employed in the canneries OF
Washington and Alaska is Chinese. 1t
is furnished by contractors living in
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
The Chinese are exceedingly expert In
every branch of the business. and work
with great rapidity. They VIII work

them. Many Of the Alaskan canneries

ent canneries instead of working fOr
wages. The price which they receive
for their fish varies from 25 cents to
10 cents, according to the season and
the amount of competition between
buyers In seasons of extraordinary
runs prices fall as low as six or eight
cents. The Washington Indians spend
three months OF every year at salmon
fishing and always sell cheaper than
white fishers. The trust will probably
succeed in lowering the price paid
fishermen by removing competition.
The largest canneries acquired by the
new trust are at Point Roberts. in
Washington. near the British Collim-
bia line. The largest salmon catches
are made in this vicinity. 1t is an
ideal place for reef and trap net fish,
ing and well in the line of the sockeye
run. In 1855 the United States made a
treaty with the Indians giving them
the perpetual right to fish at Point
Roberts The first trap net used In
Washington was placed off Cannery
Point. the southeast corner of Point
Roberts in 1880. by John Waller. He
was followed by fishermen from tho
Great Lakes, who did much to popu-
larize this form of fishing. Some OF
the largest traps at Point Roberts are

A tight between the old and new trust

Puget Sound and the rivers flowing
into it salmon fishing and canning
have been carried on successfully for
years. Within the last five years the
increase in the number OF canneries
has been enormous. The cannerles
are built, as a rule, in the center OF the
various fishing grounds and vary in
size according to the extent OF the
grounds. Nearly every form OF appa-
ratus known to be adapted to salmon
fishing has been brought into use.
Trap nets were the latest to be intro

most effective in salt water. and on

II HAS the MONEY.

While the salary of President
Schwab, of the United States Steel
corporation. once reported to be
a million dollars a year. proves to
be only the paltry sum of S225,-.
900, it is still two and q quarter
times the largest salary paid to
any public or private official in
the civilized world. The viceroy
of Ireland, Jean de Reske. the
tenor singer, the president of the
New York Insurance company,
the president of the Mutual In
surance company, and the presi-
dent of the Equitable Insurance
company are said to have received
100000 each. President Have
meyer of the sugar trust and the
arch-deacon of Canterbury are re-
ported to receive $4,000 each.
The viceroy of India gets $4,000,
and the president of the American
Locomotive company, $4,000.
Then we come down to the
class in which is the president of
the United States. the president
of the Pennsylvania Railway COM
pany, the archbishop of York. and
the lord high chancellor OF Eng
land. with $4,000 each. The
enormous difference between the
salaries paid to other public and
private officials. including the
president of the United States,
and that paid to President Schwab,
of the steel trust, even at the
figure Of $4,000 instead of a
million, shows that the steel COR
poration is not only willing to
pay for the best talent obtainable,
but that it is making money
enough to outbid any other organ
ization in the world whether pub

Most men and women bolt their food,

Sudden Death

Last Friday evening, November 18th,
Michael Goodale was killed at a point in
the road about two miles south of Dick
inson. The family, who live out seven
miles, first knew that something was
wrong when the horses came home with
out Mr. oodale or the wagon. Search was
instituted at once, and. the boys were
horri6ed at finding the ~lifeless body of
their father under the wagon, n wheel
of which had. very nearly passed over
the unfortunate victim and probably
caused internal injuries that resulted in
almost instant death.
Mr.. Goodale was seen in Dickinson
just before dark, his loaded team stand
ing hitched on Willard street for an hour
or two. There is a decline in the road
where the accident happened and it is
supposed that the unfortunate man must
have fallen forward, possibly in the act
Of holding his horses back. 1t may be
that the seat slipped or the horses may
have become frightened. Evidently Mr..
Goodale went down behind the horses
and the marks on his body indicate that
he chung to the reins at first and was
dragged several feet before the horses
got free. The wagon was heavily loaded
with coal, and the indications are that it
was stopped when n ofthe hind wheels
struck MI. Goodale. passing almost over
his chest and then dropping back and
resting heavily against the body.
DR.. Davis and Sheriff Goodall were
driven to the of the accident in the
evening before the body was moved.
MI. Goodale was born in England and
was about IS years of age. He came tc
this country some IS years ago and was
we'll liked as a neighbor and citizen. l,
was his aim in life to do the right thing
by everybody.
He had a large family of boys and
girls, some still quite young. One
daughter, Mrs. Ed. Iams, resides at Dun
can, WASH, but most of the children are
either at home with the mother or mar
ried and living in the county.
