THE FISH INDUSTRY
CAPITAL INVESTED AND LABOR EN-
PLOYED IN TWO STATES
Oregon Has tho Larger Investment, But
Her Product is Only One-Third as
Much IA washington's and Pay Roll
One-fourth.

A late census bulletin showing the
comparative growth of the fishing liz
dustry in Oregon and Washington for
the decade from 1890 to 1900 could be
read with profit by anti-trap men. tn
1900 Washington had thirty-six sal
mon canneries; Oregon had twenty
four. The capital invested in WASH
ington IN 1900 was 2,222, 726; in Orer
gon where there were less canneries
the investment totalled $2,558, ,642.
There were 2,19O wage earners ia
Washington to only 636 in Oregon.
The Washington product was WORTH
$4, ,S31 ,O3S; that of Oregon for the same
year was worth 81, 1885, 800. Comment
ing upon these figures the Whatconl
Reveille says: "To the man who has
made little or no study of fishing and
legalized fishing gear this does not
mean much. To explain: Oregon has
one-third less canneries than Washing
ton, or to make it palmer the actual
canning capacity of Oregon is 66S per
cent of Washington. Oregon, how
ever, has more money invested in the
business than this state. Her produce
is one-third the value of Washington's
and the number of persons drawing
benefits, etc., as wage earners in Ore
gOn fisheries is but one-fourth that of
Washington.
"The reason lies in the adoption by
this state OF scientific gear, while Ore
gon continues to use gear tina we
have long since discarded. This COM
pels a bigger Investment there than
here, distributes less i'm the way of
wages and brings very much smaller
returns. Oregon is anti trap while
Washington is trap fishing state.
The showing is complete refutation
of the statement that gill netting makes
big pay rolls. Trap fishing is better
both for the laboring people and the
capitalists. 1t insures better returns
for money invested and gives q
longer season to labor. The long sea-
son tends to bring about the fisheries u
permanent and responsible rather than
an itinerant and irresponsible class Of

According to the Post-Intelligencer
the United States government has be-
gun a strict enforcement of the laws
regarding the fisheries industry Of
Alaska. Artificial propagating plants
must be put in at all of the canneries
OH the southeastern coast. Such is the
edict sent forth by the treasury depart
ment. The fish traps are also going,
and the first to suffer was the Indian
trap at AUX river, which was broken
to pieces under the personal direction
of Special Agent Coyle, of the treasury
department. Another one which is
now under investigation is at Eagle
river, and Sothers will be looked after
later. The cannery situation will lie
thoroughly Investigated and the Alaska
salmon given every chance that can
possibly be allowed for their preserva-
ton.

DID NOT REACH A VOTE.
First Day of Miners Convention Ad'
journs Without Action.

FIRST Jay OF miners convention a.
journs Without Action.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 21.-The
anxiously awaited convention of the
delegates representing $4,000 striking
miners met during the day, but did
not reach vote on the proposed plan
of settlement. 1t is expected to do so
in the morning.
There were 662 delegates present in
the Nesbitt theater, where the conven-
ton was held, and they were empow-
cred by their local unions to cast 867
votes for or against President Roose-
velt's proposed plan sof arbitration.
The great majority of the delegates
were uninstructed, the few who were
being engineers, firemen and pump
men, who fear that the 5000 strikers
OF those classes may not get back their
old places now held by nonunion men.
This question of the engineers, fire
men and pumpmen proved the only
stumbling block in the way of almost
immediate adoption of the president s
plan, which carries with it declaring
the strike off, and general resumption
the hard coal mining region.
At one time it seemed certain that
the convention was about to adopt the
recommendation of President Mitchell
to end the strike, but the steam mems
plea was too earnest and the final vote
went over. It is next to certain the
vote to declare the strike off will
show big majority for it, The lead
ers OF the strikers, except Mr.. Mitch
ell, were hardly heard at all in the
convention, the anxious engineers be-
ing allowed to give 1ull expression tc
their feelings. But during the day, ii
is predicted, the leaders viii be heard
and one of them, high district of
ficer, said there would not be more
than fifteen votes recorded against
the plan which the president of the
United States has proposed to then
and which all the highest officials oil
the mine workers in this region
earnestly have recommended.

NOEL BLAIR
Providence Man Robbed Of S34
While Walking Along Front
Street, PdxtuCket.

Last night Noel Blair of 524 Washing
ton street, this city. complained to the
Pawtucket police that he had been held
up and robbed by three men while walk
ing along Front street In that city, just
before IL o'clock.
The story told by Blair Is that he was
followed along the street by two men and
when at a point midway between Black
stone avenue and Exchange street the
men grabbed him and at the same time a
third jumped over the fence and held a
revolver under his eyes. The other two
then went through his pockets and robbed
him OF s34.
The men then ran across the lot In the
rear OF the armory and disappeared.
Search was made by the police. but
nothing was seen OF the highwaymen.
