THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market was weak in the greater
mart Of the dav under bear pressure and realiz-
ing sales Final rallies left last prices slightly
above the lowest Of the day, but net changes
showed substantial losses throughout the list.
Commission houses did little in the market, and
the general course Of speculation was more pro-
fessional than it had been in many weeks. Some
Of the larger speculative interests worked for
lower prices on the theory that the advance from
the low level OF Monday had not been effective
in bringing out an enthusiastic demand for Sc
curities Their theory worked well, as no re-
sistance was offered to bear pressure, while no
attempts were made by banking interests to
support the market. On the decline, however,
prominent interests bought. and. as a conse-
Quence stocks became more strongly intrenched
IN the hands of powerful owners. Banking house
sentiment is based upon conditions as they are
known, and not upon theories. because the in
terests identified with big banking houses are
engaged in financial operations the success or
defeat Of which is involved in the course Of
general trade and financial conditions. Bank
ing house sentiment is, therefore, naturally bull
fish over the outlook, but II is not committed TO
the idea that stock market values will continue
TO move higher without frequent setbacks. 1t
looks like trading market for time. with
much higher prices later on in the season.
Total transactions amounted to 1904 shares,
a dull days business as compared with recent
heavy trading and the two million share mar
ket Of January Z. Many market followers pre-
dicted that the bull movement would lose force
after January 4. and gradually run into a bear
market. The bull speculation certainly has lost
much of its power, but it is doubtless pausing,
rather than dying. There is nothing in the gen.
eral situation that warrants bearishness, but,
Of course, IL is wise 10 exercise caution in cur
rent market operations. The news Of the day
had no bearing upon values. and outside infiu-
ences had little TO do with the decline. Various
rumors about different properties were put out
for effect upon prices. 1t was said that the
St. Paul deal was off again, that new difficulties
were about 10 develop in the steel situation and
that no change would be made to-day in the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Board Of Directors.
The professional character Of the trading was
reflected in the silly tales that circulated in
speculative circles. Room traders professed TO
be much depressed over the feebleness of rallies
and the weakness IN stocks that have been lead
in speculation. st. Paul and Northern Pa
cific were particularly weak. while the whole
railroad list declined from ] 10 points. The
steel stocks were disappointing to traders who
thought that Wednesdays advance meant
further Improvement The market closed weak
after moderate rallies.

The Big Salmon Run

According to the Fairhaven Herald
the great run of sockeye salmon is &C
counted for by intelligent fishermen in
the following manner: Four years ago
the run of salmon up the Fraser river
was very large; the winter following
was late and not extremely cold, 80
that only u small percentage Of eggs
and young fish were frozen; the over
flows in the headwaters of the Fraser
were not excessive, and coupled with
these favorable conditions for spawn
ing and Matching there were very few
traps In existence that year, as CON.
pared with The present. Fishermen
say now that enough salmon are get
ting past the nets in the Fraser to give
US another big run four years hence,
provided the weather this fall and
winter is favorable for spawning and
Matching. With hatcheries properly
CONSTRUCTED the weather as factor in
the propagation of salmon is elinin-
ated, and a big run Of fish would be
made certain.

The ISLANDER has several times
contained references to the lie and
work of the first territorial governor of
Washington, General Isaac I. Stevens,
written by his son, General Hazard
Stevens, and which it Is desired to
place within the reach of the pupils of
the public schools of the state, through
purchases of copies for district libraries.
The plan has been approved by the
state superintendent and in this county
Superintendent Allen has addressed
letters to the various district clerks
suggesting that canvassiny agents be
appointed to raise the small sum ($3. OO)
required for the purchase of the two
volumes of the new edition, concern
ing which the professor of history in
the state university has lately given
the following strong endorsement:
To Whom it May Concern:-
| For more than ten years / have perse-
vered as a collector of hooks, papers,
pamphlets and manuscripts bearing on
the history of the Territory of Washing
ton and of the Northwest. The life and
works of the first territorial governor,
Isaac I. Stevens, have especially inter-
ested me and have collected every pOssi-
BILE scrap of Information along that line.
You can, therefore, imagine with what
Joy and satisfaction I have received the
magnificent twO-vO.ume Life by the
governors sOn, General Hazard Stevens.
| 1t is by all odds the best repq (tory of
the Territorial History of Warrington yet
published in q single work. OF course,
| It covers the earliest period Of that his
tory, but that Is the portion about which
it is hardest to collect information. These
books should be placed i'm the library of
every school district In this state. AS the
years roll on and our people begin to
provide themselves with private libraries
FOR the use of their children and friends
regret is sure to be there if these two inn
pOrtant books arc not present as the COR
ner stone of the library in the Washing
| tOnian's home.
| Everywhere 90 the people who have
come from all over this country to make
Washington their new home state have
manifested keen interest in the Life of
Stevens. How much more interest will
be manifested by the next generation!
Give these youths a chance by securing
these books while they may be had. The
reading of these books is sure to make of
a youth better man and truer patriot.
My years Of experience as student,
teacher, writer and lecturer on this sub
ject all impel me to make this appeal as
emphatic as possible.
| Yours faithfully,
| EDMOND s. MEANY,
Professor of History in the State Uni
| versity of Washington.

TO FISH BY ELECTRICITY

ssheme to Blind salmon Temporarily by

exercise of incredulity and SO accus-
toned have the people become to Won

industry that they are little inclined to
brand az mere ''fish stories" announce.
ments Of the practical application Of
science to industry that would have
been regarded with utter incredulity q
generation ago. Aud % perhaps we
may as well accept as true the follow
ing story contained In press dispatch
from New Haven, Conn.,:
NV. B. Mead, New York million
aire, proposes to catch fish by temper
arily binding them. He has fitted out
four boats, each seventy-five feet long,
aud will send them to the Pacific slope.
In this connection he has c0neulted
leading Yale geological professors and
other leading scientists and had them
confirm his theory that the Yale sub
marine electric light, flashed in the
eyes of the fish, will blind them and
cause them to come to the surface and
then land them in the nets which will
be hanging from the boats side. Yale
scientists have told him deep sea fish
ing will be revoiutionized by this new
method.
"The idea of catching fish BY THU
method was suggested to Mr.. Mead By
