ALASKA SALMON.
Procession of the Four Varieties Of
His Superb Fish.

This Superb Fish.
There il nothing more curious CON
nectrd with the linny tribe than TO
watch the Ioings Of the salmon family
In Alaska" said M Alaskan dealer.
The most singular thing of all Is
that after the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career tcrmina tes
aud have seen the bottoms of creeks
covered with their dead bodies. They
give birth To thousands OF their kind
and Immediately die. The young onos
are then taken care OF by the male
salmon. and 1t is II well known fact
that in three years from their birth the
offspring reappeur on the very ground
of their origin. There are four varie.
ties OF this superb fish which make
their appearance in regular order OF
succession.
''ln the spring the first to arrive is
the magnificent king salmon, which
weighs all tho way from fifteen to
ninety pounds. About June l comes
the sookey or red salmon. which visits
our shores In enormous numbers and
which is the common canning variety
\ little later appears the log salmon
which only the Indians will eat and
finally, In August and September, the
beautiful silver salmon arrives. the
pretticSt fish in all the world and one
OF the most pnlatablc.
"Nhcp the salmon enter the fresh
water by Il curious trick Of nature
their skin becomes red, but this pink
hue does not affect the Wilderness OF
their flesh. 1t is seldom that salmon
will journey up glacier stream, but
the streams that have lakes at their
heads literally swarm with them."-

were ably assisted by capable cast
and pretty and animated chorus Ev-
cry one was in receptive ii expect
ant mood, and the performances were
given with swing and dash for which
the audience, all unconscious, was in
part responsible. After the summers
rest, although the afternoon and night
were uncomfortably warm, the play
goers found themselves enjoying to
the fullest extent the meritorious at
tempts at fun-making, the pretty eff
fects and the catchy music that was
interspersed at not infrequent inter-
walls throughout.
playing the Ponies" is a musical
comedy with perfect legal claim to
the title. Although 1t uses, of course
the broad license permissible under
such a caption, yet at no time do in
