FEW WHALES LEFT.
tutire Catch of 1901 Numbered
 Only Twenty-Iwo.

It was Professor Agassiz. the emi- nent naturalist, who made the predic- ton twenty years ago that within fifty years the whale would become extinct, and the prediction made may be veri- fled in less time than he mentioned. In the years gone by. when great fleets went out from the United States. Eng land, Germany and Russia to hunt the whale in every sea, even to within a few degrees of the north pole, he was annually slaughtered by the thousand. and one might have safely predicted his total extinction if the fleets continued their work. But they did not. Other oils came to be preferred, and in place of fleets vessels went out only by threes and fours.
 The whales have been given a quar- ter of a century in which to restore their number, but 1t seems as if the respite came too late. In every known sea they have been growing scarcer and scarcer year by year. and hunting the leviathan of the deep is now as un- certain as hunting the elk of the forest.
 The hunting of the whale for his oil ceased several years ago, as the price dropped to a low figure, but there are quite a number of vessels pursuing him for the whalebone he yields. This Is found in the arctic whale alone, as no other species is thus supplied. and he must be followed to the frozen seas of the north. There are uses for whale bone which no substitute can fill. but 1t seems as if there would not be pound of it to be had in a few years. In 1926 no less than eighty-six whales were taken by the Nantucket fishermen. and old Southampton. Long Island, was famous for the taking of the whale as far back as 1869. when the catch off that port was twelve. To this day the men of Amagansett put of from the shore to the stirring cry of There she blows.' The American whaling industry has had some serious setbacks. In 1871 thirty-three vessels belonging to the arctic fleet were

THERE seems to be some small quib bling among the friends of irrigation and those in congress who are inter- ested in the agricultural development of the west. To our mind every imma- terial matter should not be urged at this time. What is wanted now is a beginning. If the government will build one storage reservoir and add the cost of the enterprise to the price of the land reclaimed it will be jumped st by those who desire to make new homes A start in this national irri- gation business will demonstrate its feasibility not only as a means of pro- viding prosperous homes for the peo- pie, but as 8 profitable investment for tke government.

crushed in the ice, and during the civil war the Confederate privateer Shen- andoah captured and burned a large fleet. There is precious little romance left in the whaling business as well as mighty little profit.
 Whale fishing was about the first in- dustry engaged in by the colonists. All along the coast from Wilmington, Del, to the mouth of the St. Lawrence 1t was pursued with great success Dur ing the year 1S42 forty-two ships were sent from the town of Sag Harbor. Long Island. That town and Nantuck- ct were the principal whaling ports Of the country. Today there is not single whaler hailing from Sag Harbor. At the present time a majority of all the ships engaged in this trade are owned in New Bedford, which Is now the seat of the American whaling in- dustry.
 Latest advices from the whaling fleet are woefully discouraging. The catch for a twelvemonth amounts to thirty nine whales. The best for one vessel was twelve, and three vessels had no luck at all. During the present season only twenty-two were taken. the others being credited to tSe season of 1900. A few years ago the-e were 100000 pounds of whalebone In the American market, and on Oct. 15 of tits year the supply had declined to 7S,500, of which G4.500 were held in New Bedford. At a recent sale the price of whalebone per pound was quoted at S2.50, and New Bedford dealers say it will ad vance to S4 pound.
 The whale lives principally upon the devilfish. or octopus, and its mortal en- emies are the shark and swordfisb. The meat of the whale tastes some thing like beef, but is coarser and has a strong flavor. Ambergris is the most valuable product of the whale fishing industry. It is rarely found by wbalers upon removing the blubber of the whale. The substance Is of enormous value and is found only in the sperm whale. The largest quantity ever found at one time was taken from a whale by the schooner Waterman of Nantuck- et It weighed 640 pounds and was sold in Boston for S7,5O0.
 Whales are great travellers. For ex- ample, the ship Catawba of Nantucket struck a whale of the coast of Brazil. and twenty years later the same whale was captured by the Andrew Hicks of the Galapagos islands. Tn 1892 Cap tain Paddock Of the ship Lion of Man. tucket struck sperm whale of the river La Plata. but was forced to aban- don it. In 1915 he captured the same whale off the Galapagos islands.
