Recent Phenomenal Catches Show the

During the year 1903 there was the

this came right upon a general assump-

years that the fish were gradually dis

this superabundance of fresh water

the salmon to so upstream. The Spec

Federal Court Decides Important

Washington, April 6.-The four
heirs Of the late George D. Hill, of Sc
attic, lost notable case in the United
States supreme court. The case was
before the court ON appeal from the
Ninth circuit court, that tribunal hav
ing decided in favor of the heirs. 1t
involved the payment of $50, 900, the
amount Of an insurance policy on the
life of George D. Hill, issued by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York. The decision is that the
stipulation in the policy respecting
the place of contract was subordin ate
to and controlled by the stipulation in
regard to the notice to he given. The
Judgment of the circuit court was that
the contract was controlled by the laws
of New York.

at Anacortes in 1891.
He had taken out the insurance poll
cy in 1887, but at the time of his death
had paid only one annual premium.
-Four or five years after his death the
heirs brought suit to recover the value
of the policy, claiming that it was a
New York contract and that as such
there could be no forfeiture unless
written notice OF the falling due of
each premium had been given. Such
notice is a requirement of the laws of
New York, but not of the laws of
Washington. Such notice had never
been served upon Gen. Hill, but the
premiums had been demanded of him
and a receipt rendered him conditional
upon his paying, but he had been una
