to create prejudice in the minds Of the
Iabornic men Ct this state and arouse a

the grocer and the butcher. in his

| by the legislature, in other words,
that man who used the 500. 90 per
month for the support Of his family,
and il man was unwilling to volun-
tariIy use his wages for the indebted
I ness incurred that his family might
live chat. then 5000 Of that $60 90
might be reached fer the purpose Of
+ paying that Indebtedness. Anyone, it
seems to me, VIII maintain that a
man who does not support his family
should not use the money which he
earns for that purpose. l supported
this bill because | believed that 1t
was in the interest Of the la5cring
man. 1t is said that the grocer and
the butcher can protect themselves
from loss by selling all their goods
upon a cash basis. This is true, but
. if this were done there would be the
greatest suffering upon the part of the
Iaooring men. If the Iaboring man
is out Of work, has no money with
which to procure the necessaries
from the grocer and butcher for that
purpose until he can be earning a
livelihood then many of the laborIng
men Of this state would be confronted
with d serious problem and one
fraught with dangers to them. If
this bill had passed and become d law
l do not believe that there is one of
the laborirg men IN this city who
, would ever know Of its existence.
The Iaboring men are honest, they are
industrious as a class and they do not
seek for any shield to evade or post
pone the payment Of Indebtedness in
Cured by them for the support Of them
selves and their families.
''This bill, however, was defective
in one particular in that it applied
only to exemption Of wages. All ex-
emption laws have the same purpose
in view, that is to enable the debtor
to support his family and enjoy the
necessary comforts Of life. This
being true, il is unjust to apply the
laws only to wages. for it should
apply to all exemptions, the exemp-
tions of the rich as well as the wages
I of the poor In this very bill, how
ever, the exemptions Of merchants
themselves were reduced in this par
ticuIar. Under the law, as it now
stands, three men may go into a par
tnership in grocery, or other busi-
ness, and if they choose to evade the
( payment of their debts each member
of the firm is entitled to an exemption

Mearns, a surgeon in the United States
army and an enthusiastic naturalist
and collector, arrived in Manila and
became attached to the board of public
health. He soon perceived that not all
of the animals brought in were common
house rats, but that many of them had
considerable scientific value and that
some belonged to species wholly un-
known to naturalists.
An empty whisky barrel was obtained
and partially filed with formalin and
for several weeks DIR. Mearns spent his
leisure hours in sorting over rats. pre-
serving those which were of value i'm
the barrel OF formalin. This was filled
i'm time and has been shipped to the
National museum through the quarter
master generals department Of the
army.
It's arrival is awaited with good
deal of interest by the mammalogists
of the museum. as it will undoubtedly
contain the most complete collection of
the small mammals OF the Manila dis
trict that has ever been made In the
Philippine islands.

TRUST COMPANIES
MARKED SALMON IN RIVER
Hatchery Fish Return to the Columbia
After Four Years of
Absence

Special to The Herald
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 20.-What is
believed to be the best evidence of the
efficiency of artificial propagation of
salmon that has ever been secured was
recently obtained by Fish Commits
sioner Kershaw relative to the opera
ton of hatcheries on the Columbia
siver, said Deputy Fish Commissioner
Perry Baker,
| Mr. KershaW received tails and fins
of 100 salmon from a single trap owner
on the Columbia river that were plainly
marked hatchery fish.
When the hatcheries were placed in
operation on the Columbia river a sys-
| tenn of marking was adopted for the
purpose of ascertaining if any of the
salmon turned out of the river returned
to their native spawning grounds, and
in what length of time.
The marked fins and tails received
by Mr.. Kershaw were found to be sal
mon that were turned out of the Kala-
ma and Chinook hatcheries four years
ago. The spawn of these fish was,
taken in 1900, and the young salmon
turned out in 1901. The fish were
marked in a manner that leaves no
doubt of this fact. The small bones
in the fins were cut down and a hole
punched i'm the tail. The cutting of the
bones in the fin is just the same as
man losing a part of his finger-it
never grows out again.
The Columbia river was practically
depleted when the artificial propaga-
ton of salmon was commenced on that
stream, and the last several years has
demonstrated that it has been re-
stocked by some means.
While only a part of the fish were
marked when released from the hatch
cries, the fact that one trap owner on
the river found at least 100 of these
salmon during the last season Is con-
elusive evidence that artificial propa-
cation is the only solution of the prob
lem to prevent the depletion of the sal
mon fisheries.

BARREL OF PICKLED RATS
Pests Killed in Manila Are Shipped
to Museum at Washington for
keepinq

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON Jan. 20.-Word has
been received at the National museum
that a barrel of rats has been shipped
to that institution from Manila. They
are coming in pickle.
some months ago rats were very
numerous in Manila and the surround
ing parts Of Luzon, and many of them
were affected with a disease which
was sometimes communicated to man
The danger of a widespread pestilence
induced the health authorities to offer
a bounty of half cent (gold) for each
rat brought in.
The natives set to work killing, trap
ping and snaring rats, and the result
was that thousands were received daily
for several weeks by the health depart
ment.
