however, is not wholly the result of his
enterprise and reSOurcefulness. Nature
has favored him with a variety of fish
not only of superior quality as food
product, but having certain peculiar
habits of life which render possible a
highly organized system of fishing. The
salmon, though not. as commonly sup
posed, salmon at all, being no more
closely related to the salmon of East
ern waters than a dog is related to a
fox, has the life-habits, in common
with the shad and other fish, of feed
ing and attaining it's maturity in the
sea and then ascending the rivers to
lay its eggs. its young being born al
ways in fresh water.
Each year, therefore, great runs, or
schools, of fish swim upward from the
sea into the rivers on their way to the
spawning beds. The fisher has only to
set his nets or traps in the well-known
courses taken by these runs near the
river mouths or in the rivers them
selves, and he is sure of a catch. The
only element of uncertainty, indeed, is
in the size of the runs; the fish come
up as regularly as the seasons, but
there are years of great runs and years
of small runs, so that the production
varies, but not more so than the wheat
or corn crop.-Ray Stannard Baker in
the Century.

significant that his solicitors now say
that they hope to get him a hearing
before the chancery court before July.
First, however, all the evidence upon
which the claim is based-and this
means thousands upon thousands of
folios of closely written matter-must
be read and discussed before a legal

man, of great wealth. His father had
been an aide de-camp to the great
Duke of Marlborough, and he himself
had William III. for godfather and as
a boy had been page to King George
l. But he was renowned most of all
,forg his riches, fortune of $10,000.000,
such as his, being accounted a mighty
one IN those pre-Rockefeller days.
Jennings had inherited part of his
fortune, but he more than quadrupled
his original heritage by fortunate spec
ulation. He had a perfect genius for
making investments. For instance. his
shares in the ExcheQuer TOntine, for
which he paid $500 each, brought him
in $4,000 apiece for many years.
Strangely enough, it was the most
triffing sort of an accident which led
to Jennings dying without will and.
as a consequence, to one of the most
lengthy and expensive lawsuits in his
tory. Only a few days before his death
the old fellow, then 81, went down to
his solicitors Office for the specific
purpose of drawing up his last tesla
ment. When he came to sign it. how
ever, he discovered that he had left
his SpectacleS at home, so he put the
will in his pocket and went off. saying
that he would drop in again soon and

afterwards he was dead. and when his
clothes were searched the testament"

pocket.

PRIMITIVE FISHING METHOD.
Lines, Baited Hooks and Nets in Use
From Time Imn1emoriak

The proximity of the fisheries of Ore
gon and Washington to a populous
coast, settled by progressive and in
telligent people, has tended to differ
entiate them in many ways from other
fisheries. No one Of the great indus
tries shows in general less departure
from the primitive methods of a hun
dred, or even a thousand, years ago
than does fishing. Lines, baited hooks
and nets have been in use from time
immemorial; the present day methods
are not far different from those of the
time of Christ-toil of men in boats,
peril, hardShips, the will of the sea.
Even the methods of curing by smoke,
salt or sunshine have changed little in
hundreds of years. The cod of New
foundland 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 can
neries, has devised new methods, char
acteristic of it's own spirit of enter
prise. 1t has reduced, in some degree,
a primitive industry to exact business
standards. Nowhere in the world, per-
haps, has fishing, and especially the
care of the products of he-hsheries,
reached such a state of development
as here; nowhere has machinery been
introduced to such an extent; nowhere
has the world-old uncertainty of the
industry, the element of "fishermans
luck been so far eliminated.

United States are mostly taken up.
Although Uncle Sam still owns mil
limos OF acres, amounting to 60 per
cent Of the area of seventeen states,
1t is with slight exceptions land on
which no one could support himself
in agriculture, except by shifting the
rock of national irrigation. Accord
ingly, as the land boom wakes strong
with that advance of prices which has
created an anti-beef trust agitation
among the consumers of the East the
Western benef1ciaries of this same
upward movement are reaching out
for more land. The natural increase
of population, of course. emphasizes
the call, and Canada has just been dis
Z covered. Americans have found out
that they can raise wheat there for the
British market just as prof1tably as
they can at home and so they are
pouring across the line.
ct How Plans Are Upset.
In 1898 fewer than 10000 Americans
crossed the border, while this year it
is estimated by the Dominion immi-
grafton commissioner at Winnipeg that
>out-of a total immigration into West
ern Canada of $4,000, the United States
contributes 10000. 1t has been pre-
dicted that Americans will soon be
pouring into Canada at the rate of
100000 a year. as Canadians have so
long been pouring into their Northwest
under a similar economic stimulation.
1t is a notable illustration of the way
thesplans Of men turn askew that when
Sir John Macdonald built the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, partly to prevent
the Americanization of Western Cana
da. he gave the road a land grant of
about 100000 acres. 1t is this very
land through the company or it's as
signs that the American settlers are
now buying.
The objection to tinkering with the
tariff. which is likely to continue, acts
strongly as a repressive matter upon
commerce between Canada and the
United States. The latter asks the re-
moval of the duty of % cents a bushel
on wheat in order to avoid the milling
and exporting in bond. The United
States also wants a larger Canadian
market for it's agricultural machinery
and other products, but has done
nothing in the way of tariff reform to
secure any preferential treatment.
The situation, therefore, is excep-
tionally favorable to imperial fedora
ton at the present moment. While the
Dominion would only want q duty
placed upon wheat from other coun-
t-tries into Great Britain, which would
be gladly welcomed by the English and
Irish farmers, although probably not
enhancing prices to any extent. she
could offer England an enormous mar
kets for farm machinery and other
products. Louis Lanier.

fought in the chancery court for al

especially after Charles Dickens had
satiriZed it under the name Of "Jarn-

Meanwhile +, the original $4,000, 900
left by Jennings, most of which was in
gilt-edged stocks, had gone on increas-

for its possession was supposed to be
finally closed, the chancery courts re-
turn estimated the fortune at the
amazing sum of $4,000, 900, which
amount David Jennings, who is in pos

to prove his claim thereto, has come to

Upton would say.
1t was just about thirty years ago
that the Jennings suit ended, the court
deciding that the contested millions
should remain in chancery, while Earl
Howe, who, by the way, is direct
descendant of Sir William Howe who
commanded the British forces in the
American Revolution, was left in pos

This decision having been reached by

that the famous case had been settled

Recently however, there has been
a significant activity among the Jen-
nings claimants in this country, whose
hopes were dashed temporarily by the
chancery courts decision in Earl
Howe's favor. One of them announced
the discovery of documents throwing
