PRIMITIVE FISHING METHOD.
Lines, Baited Hooks and Nets in Use
 From Time ImmemoriaI.

Lines, Baited Hooks and Nets in Use
 From Time Immemorial.
 The proximity of the fisheries of Ore gon and Washington to a populous coast, settled by a highly progressive and indifferent people, has tended to d1tferentiate them in many ways from older fisheries. No one of the great fn- dustries shows dn general less depart ure from the primitive methods of a hundred, or even a thousand years ago, than does fishing. Lines, baited hooks and nets have been in use from time tnGmemorial; the present-day methods are not far different from those of the time of Ohrist-toil of men in boats, peril, hardship, thewill of the sea- Even the methods of curing by smoke, salt or sunshine have changed little in hun dreds of years. The cod of Newfound- aand are cured now, for the most part as they were in the beginning. But the northwest, with it's traps and the automatic machinery of it's canneries, has devised new methods characteris- tic of its own spirit of enterprise. It has reduced, in some degree. a prtmi- tive industry to exact business stand ards. Nowhere in the world perhaps, has fishing, and especially the care of the products of the fisheries, reached such a state of development as here; nowhere has machinery been introduc- ed to such an extent; nowhere has the worldold uncertainty of the industry. the element of ''fisherman's luck been so far elfninated.
 The success of the Pacific fisher, however, is not wholly the result of his enterprise and resourcefulness Nature has favored him with 8 variety of fish not only of superior quality as a food product, but having certain pe' cuEiar habits of life which render pos sible a highly organized system cd fishing. The salmon though aoT. az commonly supposed. salmon at aal being no more closely related to the salmon Of Europe and of our own Eastern waters than a dog Is related to a fox, has the life habits, in com mon with inc shad and other fish, od feeding and attaining it's maturity 1T to lay its eggs its young being borr always in fresh water.
 Bach year, therefore, great yI1ns, o1 ! schools of fish swim upward from ths
 sea into the rivers on their way to the spawning beds. The fisher has only tx ! set Ms nets or traps in the well known l courses taken by these runs near tht river mouths or ip the rivers them
 selves and he is sure of a catch. Ths 1 only element of uncertainty, indeed, ii 1 in the size of the runs. the fish come i up aA,. regularly as the seasons, bu l there are years of great runs ant years of small runs. so that the pro | ductton varies. but not more thar ] the wheaf or corn crop.-Ray Stannart 1 Baker in the Century.

"We hear a good deal about the busy

Il was in his apartment a few nights

Trout streams in Wisconsin are be-
ing whipped into a froth by disciples
of Izaak Walton from several sur
rounding states. The followers Of
fishing think that the catch of the
pretty speckled beauties this year will
be the largest ever known. Yet April
IS, when the legal season for catching
trout opened, there seemed to be so
much apathy among sportsmen that
railroad ticket agents thought they
would not be called upon for tickets
ito the fishing points.
Never before had there been so few
fishermen. The telegraph brought the
news that in the northern part of the
state the streams were all high and
filed with muddy water. Two, three
and four years ago the Wisconsin state
commission had planted an aggregate
of 10000, 900 fry, and the state laws
were so vigorously enforced last sea-
son that everyone looked forward to
a glorious season this spring.
However better reports were re-
ceiyed from the trout streams a day or
two ago, and the influx of fishermen
to Wisconsin trout retreats has set
in in earnest.
