THE HERRING CATCH.
II Is to Northern Europe What the
Wheat Crop Is to America.

II Is to Northern Europe What the
Wheat Crop Is to America.
Today the herring is hardly regarded
as a luxury. Indeed, 1t is chiefly eaten
by those who can afford nothing else,
and yet 3OOO,OOO,O0O of these fish are
needed to supply the annual demand.
How this inexhaustible, llmitless yield
of the ocean has swayed the destinies
of nations is strikingly set forth in an
article by Harold Bolce in Ocean.
Despite the unremitting harvest by
predatory man and gull and cannibal-
istic cod and shark the unconquered
armies of herring still continue to pop
ulate the Atlantic with multiplying
hosts.
The Atlantic has been aptly called
the herring pond" Indelibly associat-
ed in the past with the economic and
political history of occidental man
kind. the herring seems destined to
survive as one of the greatest factors
in the welfare of western nations To-
dav what the wheat crop is to America
the herring catch is to northern Eu-
rope.
Few persons, even among the masses
that consume this fish, realize It's
economic importance. More than 3OOO'-
100000 herrings are captured annually
according to the latest estimate.
The weight of that annual catch Is
over 100000 tons.
It would require $4,000 freight cars
each with a capacity of thirty tons to
haul the herring harvest inland from
the Atlantic.

An extraordinary curiosity is to be
seen in the Swiss village Of Gunten, on
Lake Thun. 1t takes the form of a nat
ural tree fountain, the water flowing
continuously from a spout high up in
the tree. About twenty years ago the
water from a spring was conducted
through a shaft, and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk Of
a young poplar tree which was rammed
in the ground. After a short time the
trunk rooted, branches followed, and
now there is a splendid top growth.

DRAINAGE OF ROADS
MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CON-
STRUGGLING GOOD HIGHWAYS.

How to Underdrnin the Roadway,
Disposal OF Storm Water quite ns
Important ms Location and Grade.
Value of Water Breaks.
Drainage is the essential factor and
essence of all good road building, says
W. II. Colt in a paper read before the
recent Missouri good ROADS conven-
ton. Exercising its proper functions,
all roads are good roads, metaling of
the surface being simply a question of
how much community. can stand and
without drainage would be Intellectual
and worthless, A study of the topogra-
ply of the region through which the
road is to pass, the quantity Of traffic
to be served, the comfort and con-
venlence of those who use 1t, should
determine the best location for a road,
and these require the study of one
qualified and educated for the work.
A level road Is most desirable and
economical; hence one should seek to
locate a road so as to obtain the light
est grades, as a proper estimate of
grades is one of the most important
parts of the science of road building.
The perfectly level road is the best
for transportation, but it costs less to
maintain road on a slight grade than
on level, as longitudinal ruts are liza
BILE to be formed and interfere with the
drainage. Any earth road surface Is
greatly benefited by having longitude
nal drainage and is not so likely to be-
come soft and muddy in rainy times as
a level road; hence the ACCESSIBILITY of
Introducing slight grades at intervals
for this purpose The gradient of the
road will be determined by the amount
OF traffic to be accommodated.
Disposal of storm water is quite as
important as location and grade and
should have the constant consideration
of the locating engineer. Money ex-
pended in intelligent study of location
grade and drainage gives more return
than any other expenditure, drainage
being the most important factor In the
construction of roads and the foun'
cation Of all road building, water being
the greatest enemy of dirt roads
Prompt and thorough drainage OF the
water from the road can only be &C
complished by one who has made
study Of the subject and is master OF
the situation.

FORMER UNIVERSITY
 PRESIDENT IS DEAD
Prof. DabbS Was Pathfinder as Well as Educator-WaS
 Native of Missouri.

J. F. Dabbs, the well known news dealer of Tucson. died in that city Fri day morning. MT. Dabbs, who has been in poor health for several years past, came to Arizona from his home in Missouri hoping to regain his health here.
 He had first entered the University as a member of the Faculty and re. mained with that institution for two years. Retiring from University work he entered into the news and station cry business, in which he has been engaged for the past several years. He was taken i'll week ago, but was not considered to be in a dangerous condition until several days later, when his physician telegraphed to his brothers in Joplin, Mo, to come to Tucson.
 The brothers arrived Thursday after. noon and were with their brother at the time of his death. The body oi Mir. Dabbs will be taken to his home in Missouri, accompanied by the broth. CTS, Hugh Dabbs of Joplin, Mo, and Dr. N. Dabbs.

NOT MANY LAWYERS IN ARIZONA

him will probably bring forcibly to the mind of Attorney General w. c.
 Reed, of New Mexico, that Arizona wants no changes in the court system
 that will mean a joint court with New
 Mexico.
 Attorneys Morrison, Bennett. H. D.
 Ross. Doe. Wilson, Ingles, J. Nj. Ross.
 Russell and several others expressed
 themselves on the joint court proposi- tion, the sentiment being all against lit. Attorney General Reeds letter was tabled.
 Several lawyers who attempted to address the body were called down by Secretary Ingles on the grounds that
 they were not members. Finally this
 resulted in an amendment to the con
 stitution and several prominent attor. neys, who were members of the old
 association but not of the new, got
 their names on the roll by paying s5.

fPhneniX Dehocratl


 To have attended the session of the supreme court this morning the aver age Arizonan would have been sur prised to learn that there are so many lawyers in Arizona, but to have at tended the first annual meeting of the Arizona Bar association immediately after, the same Arizonan would have been surprised that there are so few.
 Busy preparing briefs as well as busy studying those the other fellow handed them, but few of the lawyers remained after the supreme court ad- journed for the day, and the bar as- sociation was called to order.
 Walter Bennett, of Phoenix, was houored with the presidency of the association, his selection being made by exclamation on motion of Paul Burks, of Prescott. With two ex- captions the old officers hold over.
 T. G. Norris, past president, be- comes vice president, and Walter Bennett becomes president, these be- ing the only changes made. The "@l. cers are as follows: President, Va ter Bennett. of Phoenix; vice presi- dent, T. G. Norris. of Prescott; treas urer, E.. W. Lewis, of Phoenix; secre- tary, P. R. lngles, of Phoenix; execu- tive committee, Lewis, Bennett and Ingles, of Phoenix.
 -ysBecause of the reorganization of the Arizona Bar association last year many of the prominent members of the bar in Arizona are not new mem bers. Since the reorganization many of therl have not taken the trouble to become members. To let the bars down and get them in. action was talk en this morning which 1t is hoped will make every AFise8as lawyer in good standing member.
 To get the lawyers together a ban quet will be given in Phoenix next March when the supreme court meets to render decisions on cases that came up at this session. Each lawyer will be expected to pay for his own plate. Attorneys Bennett, Ingles and Morris are a committee to arrange for this banquet. . -.-s ..
 There was much speechmaking in which attention was called to the coming legislature and the need oi certain changes and reforms in the matter of laws. Col. J. F. Wilson, to ward the close of the meeting called attention to the need of something besides arrangements for banquets as an object of the association.
 Action taken on letter written by
