FARMS
Great Alaska Industry Need
ing Protection.

John &. Colber; ls a professional fish
farmer and has given minv years 10 the
study OF the propagation Of Salmon.
Down below Wrangel, on EIolIn Island
he has established private hatchery and
Is invoking legislation 10 protect the In
dustry OF which he Is the pioneer In
Alaska. Congressman Sulzer, Of New
York, introduced bill last session, based
on Mr.. Colbsrt's suggestions, but II got
plgeonhOIsd though there Is hope that II
NAV be resuueeted and passed before the
adjournment Of the present session.
The bill has been endorsed BY all the
representative bodies Of Southeastern
Alaska ar d was also endorsed and recon-
mendsd for passage In the report Of the
recent grand jury at Juneau. Mr.. Ruud
who was a member Of that BODY, appeared
before the chamber OF commerce last night,
on behalf Of Mr.. Colbert. Mr.. Ruud ex-
pl lned the purport Of the bill and ex-
planned the infant industry that II was In
tended to protect.
The req salmon will not run up a stream
for spawning unless there Is fresh water
like at its source. Dog salmon on the
contrary, spawn In streams with no lakes
at their source. There are a number Of
creeks that though thew have lakes at the
source are barred against the salmon run.
These lakes ale, however, we'll adapted
for the rearing Of fry which when two
wears old will swim down over the falls
to the sea. In "A wears they will all come
back d make a mighty effort to ascend
To the lakes where they were reared. All
Of the mailer streams aJwlng from lake,
or ponds can be made TO raise fsh far be-
vond what their volume can we'll contain
when the fish return full grown from the
mysterious depths where they resort until
their maturity.
The bill simply affords protection to
whomsYer will stock these streams, ln In
surIng them the right to reap what they
NAV sow. II gives the fish farmers right
10 control the field Of their operations, in.
sures them free entrance to their stream
for the return Of the fish from their ranges
In the sea, the right 10 complete control
Of these little creeks for the distance Of a
mile and in other waYs encourages an In
dustry, which, when thoroughly estab-
llshed will insure the perpetuity Of the
Alask salm n and furnish an annual
catch Of fish that will enable Alaska to
keep forever In the lead Of the world ln the
production # the best quality Of salmon.
The committee on local industry will
Immediately circulate a petition and me-
morlalze congress for the passage Of the
sulzer bill, Though 1t Is now too late for
the present session, II might assist In ob-
tanning the desired legislation for hatcher
les at the next session.

PEOPLE PAY TO BE LONELY.
Some Mortals Prefer Their Own Com
 pany to That of Their Fellows.

London Tit-Bits
 Not many people would pay $500 a year for the the. privilege Of never seeing human being. But this is what John Farren, a notorious her nit who resides the coast of Sutherland, does He is perfecting an invention which he firmly believes will bring him undying fame. though what the nature of his discov- cry Is no one knows.
 His house is entered by climbing m A stair case to the second floor. and at the foot a retainer is always duty to keep away strangers, while seventeen other servants are similarly employed all the year round in va. rious parts of the grounds
 Many will remember the case of Dr. Borth. wick, the wealthy hermit of Atherley Edge He owned fortune of z LOG. 900 in all, but some time before his death he purchased aSS, 900 worth of jewels and tapestries from Lon. don merchants and then threw the whole loi into the off the coast of Anglesey. With the ( ,o0o remaining he built himself a house, sheltered by a high wall so that no one could overlook him. and then engaged si1 watchnren at handsome salaries to keep the inquisitive at distance. After paying several hundreds year for the privilege of being lonely he died seven years ago and left the balance of his fortune to his two nephews Probably no man ever went to more trouble and expense to be lonely than did Josiah West a retired woolen manufactures, who resided in the Midlands. Being an extremely ugly man he became impressed with the idea late in life that it was trial to his fellow mortals to look upon him. so he laid out his fortuna in cutting himself off from the world. The first thing he did was to purchase a large area of land, in the middle of which he built himself house in the shape of a square with all the windows facing to a quadrangle ir the center. Then. although he had small army of keepers to guard him from the curl osity of strangers he bought up a neighbor- ing village consisting of sixty-two houses and razed 1t to the ground to still further insure his solitude. From that time forward until the day of his death he never again set eyes on human being. all his food being deliv- cred to him through trapdoor built in the side of the house for the purpose.
 Saurier, the eminent French novelist, also paid out large sum of money in order to be lonely. He had a perfect aversion to human beings of both sexes and declared that he could not work with anyone in the same house as himself. Eventually he spent 6. GOO in build ing room beneath the lake in his ground. which was approached by a subterranean pas- sage and had a glsss roof.

Exnensiva onara. Glasses.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars for pair of opera glasses! There are few worth so much. for even the wives of American millionaires have not begun to indulge their fancy for expensive knickknacks in that direction. The one mentioned be- longs to Quen Alexandra and was special made for her in Vienna. The barrels are of platinum and are set with diamonds. rubies and sapphires. By the introduction of a few more jewels It's value could, of course, be considerably enhanced. but the queen Is by no means given to looking at things in that light, and she Is quite content with the glasses as they stand.
 Another of these expensive opera glasses belonged to the Empress Eugenie at the time when she was one of the most conspicuous figures in the world. In those days platinum was not used for Jewelry. and the barrels of her opera glasses were made of gold. Instead of diamonds they were set with pearls of great price. They were lost or stolen and were never restored to their owner. I

Women and Golf.

The links break down many barriers erected by social distinctions. There people meet and play together. people who would otherwise have never met be- cause, forsooth, they were not exactly In the same set" Such separations are as noticeable in trade as in the haut ton. A man who has made a fortune in the retail grocery business is probably re- garded by the ex-timber merchant as beneath him by reason of the fact that in the one case the money has been de- rived from transactions across the counter and in the other persents the profits which have accrued from exten- sive contracts and orders settled by checks and bills. Of course these arti- ficial dividing lines are in the majority of instances absurd, and 1t is for their effect in destroying these lines that the golf links are of admirable advantage.
 Women on golf links are said to be a little inconsiderate. If they are ahead and good players are coming up after them they oblige them to walt until they ask to be allowed to pass and then give a grudging assent. In small matters of this kind the game, which is a leveler and promoter of social enjoyment. is also a means of smaller pickering and in this the members of the feminine sex are the worst offenders. There Is only one rule to follow, and that is to put oneself in the place of those who want to pass, Then the assent will be given with grace, and good feeling will go hand in hand with good manners.
