The fishlng season remains about
the same. The gill-netters and Bak-

no salmon. Chris Henry, who operates
the CID Sam oliver seining grounds
up the river reports that he is catch
ing about 1900 pounds of salmon a
day. and another seining ground near
there reports the same. II is thought
that ON account of there being very
few gill nets in the river the salmon
are going up the river which accounts
for the catches on the seining grounds
and at oregon City. Most Of the
salmon are delivered to the cold stor-
age plants.

JAPANESE ON OUR WARsHlps

see that Admiral Evans denies 8
story told OF him, to the effect that he
encountered as commander of Japa-
nese warship a Japanese who had
been his steward On a ship of our
navy only few years before. The
story was believed because it was by
no means improbable.
Every ship Of our navy going into
commission has had aboard for a
dozen years past Japanese servants.
These men have been manifestly Of
"a superior class socially. They were
all well educated, and their desire for
further improvement was manifest to
every officer II they were not al
ready commissioned officers of the
Japanese navy when they served
aboard our ships, It Is not unreason-
able to assume that they took the
place OF servants in our navy for the
purpose of preparing themselves for
the naval profession and to acquire
experience in actual navy life.
Nor is 1t doubtful that they used
every opportunity to put to use their
peculiarly keen facilities Of obserga
ton They sized up every officer
and found out all about the ship
They know our. strength and also our
weakness. xss
