at least delay the proposed invasion OF
American commercial territory.
This country, however, must be care
full of its fish supply, and take meas
ures for its protection. If 1t is not in
time to be put out of the market by a
lack OF product. Stories have come
from Alaska. whose waters furnish 49,
000, 900 cans each year, or one-half the
salmon supply of the word, that the
fish is being slowly but surely exter-
minated because of the reckless meth
DDS of. capturing them AS a result
of a government investigation not long
ago, Commander Jefferson f. Moser, of
the United States navy, reported that
the Alaskan salmon fisheries were
doomed unless the trap nets, now so
widely used, were abolished. The trap
is said to kill twice as many salmon
as are utilized by the Gamers. All the
fishermen agree that the trap net
should be abolished, for the preserva-
tion of the business, but each is afraid
to give up his traps while his neigh
bors are using them Competition is
| too keen.
Both the trap net and the fish wheel
have been abolished by law in British
Columbia, and nothing but the gill net
Is now permitted. In this the meshes
are woven just large enough to catch
the big fish by the gills, while 1T per-
mits the smaller ones to escape unhurt.
The Kraser river and its tributaries
form the great salmon supply field OF
Canada. and this field is carefully pro-
tected by law SO that the fish are not
wasted, either by the trap nets of
Alaska or the fish wheels of the Column
bia river.
The introduction OF the gill net is
impossible until congress shall have
passed laws compelling its use, and
this the fishermen are willing should
be done.
Some of the canneries have already
taken steps to prevent the exhaustion

Of their fish supply by building hatch
cries at the head of the streams in
which they spread their nets. What
was one regarded as a fable Is now
gaining ground as a scientific fact,
that a salmon returns to the stream OF
its nativity to breed. It is said that
fish born neal the sources of q river,
on growing strong and vigorous, swim
out to sea, plough up and down the
ocean for several years. and then. on
maturity turn back to breed IN their
native river. A rushing tide or precip-
ltous waterfall does not daunt them,
and it is a common sight to see these
fish leaping up cataracts to gain the
quSet pools beyond.
In order to prove the truth of this
theory fishermen have branded young
fish, turned Shem loose, and say they
have captured them years afterward

Order Of United American Mechanics,
accompanied by the Ladies' Auxiliary,

Rev. Mr.. Miller took as his subject
"a National Obligation: The Exalta-
ton Of the Christ" He elaborated
upon the greatness of this country and
drew the conclusion that the destiny
of the nation is the greatest given any
people in history. That destiny ne
held to be the exaltation OF the Christ
which is guaranteed by the freedom
of religious thought in our constitu-
ton. In the individual is the hope of
the nation, he said, and the individual
characters OF the nation will be builded
correctly as soon as the Bible and the
flag are permitted to be inseparable
features of the public schools OF the
country. He lauded the efforts OF the
order to bring about this desired re-
suit and said all needed social reform
would come with the adoption Of the
idea.

met and the contributions have been
so liberal that the church has paid in
