.SALTON
SEA is
RISING
Salt Water Fish in 1t IadIcate
Underground Connection
With Ocean

Riverside, Cal, Aug. 4.-Barracuda
in Salton Seal This is the latest de.
velopment in the phenomenon that is
attracting the attention of half a con.
tinent. G. v. Piper, government OIL
Ger in charge Of seed and plant intro
duction, reports that a barracuda a
foot long has been caught in the waters
Of the great inland sea, and that there
have been catches as well Of perch, a
fish never before seen in Colorado riv.
ers Schools of fish four or five inches
long can be seen from the car windows
Of the Southern Pacific in the shallow
waters Of the lake.
Barracuda were never before seen in
Colorado river waters The waters Of
Salton Sea are more salty than the
ocean itself. The salt deposits Of the
Salton basin would hardly impregnate
the entire lake with salt. Fresh water
fish from the Colorado river have died
Immediately on striking the sea.
Whence, then, come the barracuda
and the schools Of little FISH that are 80
plentiful in the lakei The water has
been rising in the lake at the rate of
half an inch day, and the engineers
admit that the big salt lake is rising
faster than the waters Of the Colorado
river flow in. For years there have
been fears expressed that some day
there would be sabterranean connec'
tion between the Gulf Of California
and the immense salton basin, which
at the deepest point is nearly 200 feet
below sea level. Many believe that
this is already happening.

In buying vehicles the purchaser

something good for a price that's be-
low reason.
Most persons can judge somewhat of
the grade of piece of cloth. Most per-
sons have fair knowledge Of leather
in a shoe, and so on through many
commodities, but when il comes to a
vehicle, paint and varnish "cover a
multitude OF sins" and you buy them
on faith; faith in the man who made
them and the man who sells them.
The Studebaker vehicles are built on
honor. There's no doubt as to what's
in them. Every persons who has ever
visited the factory at South Bend, Ind.
and visitors are always welcomed
has come away convinced Of the real
worth OF Studebaker vehicles. Sixty

stick Of timber is season dried from

Speaking of this season Mr.. Heck
man said, 1.-The market for pinks is
overstocked and as a consequence the
majority of canneries in Southwest
Alaska will be Idle this year. We
expect to puC up about 10000 cases
this year at Loring, which will be 80
900 short of last season. About 40,
900 cases of reds will be packed and
the remainder pinks.
The cold storage and shipping of

will amount next year to 10 times the

great increase Ketchikan is sure tc

WORK CAN BEGIN ON CANAL.
Right of Way to Government Ship
Canal Transferred.

The United States government has
formally accepted title to the right of
way of The Dalles-Celilo canal, and
Major Langfitt is to have instructions
to advertise for bids for construction
of the upper dock and approaches,
for which 100000 was appropriated
last session.
Title to the right of way was exam
ined and approved some weeks ago,
and the attorney general has exam
ined the deed from the state, and,
finding it regular, advised the secre-
tary of war that he could under the
law. proceed with construction of the
canal.
This means that the work of con-
struction will commence early in the
summer, and there is money enough
on hand to continue until congress
has an opportunity to make a further
appropriation.
If the original intention is carried
out, the Oregon, Washington and Ida
no delegations will attempt next ses
sion to have The Dalles canal made
continuing contract in order that ap
propriations may be made annual!
