that Harry Orchard, while in Cripple

the Miners Association and the Citizens
Alliance there was evident today when
it became known that Arthur S. Cole,
former Superintendent of Schools of
Cripple Greek and Secretary of the Citi-

flrcements during the night in the person
of George w. Reddell, the discredited
President OF the Ureks Utah Union Of
the Western Federation, who, it is sup
posed, will give important testimony.

nation of Orchard this morning.
Orchard declared the killing of Lyle
Gregory was by order OF the executive
board Of the Federation. He was fifty
f.et from Gregory when be shot. The
next day he told Simpkins, Haywood,
Pettibone and Meyer all about it and
they were highly pleased.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE s, 1907.

The Potomac fishing season Of 1907
has closed and is regarded as the poorest
ever known. Not only has there been a
scarcity of shsd but of herring also, and
OF nearly every other kind of fish. Sbsd
was once considered the poor mans food
hut this fish is so high now that only
The well-tC-1o can afford to buy them.
reformation from various sections con-
csrning the actual depletion and pro-
spective exhaustion of the shad fisheries
affords another illustration of that reck-
less wastefulness on which frequent COM
ment has been made in connection with
other natural resources Of this continent
The astonishing iecundity of the shad
las long been proverbial. If every fe-
msle shad were permitted to deposit her
eggs, and the eggs we're all hstched and
the young shad all grew TO maturity, the
waters would doubtless soon be overPop-
Mated. Natural circumstances, however,
even in the most favorable conditions,
preyent more than a small proportion OF
the eggs from producing fish, and it lie
within the power of men 10 so lessen that
proportion as to threaten that most pro-
life creature with actual determination.
The shad must ascend rivers to deposit
the eggs in fresh water. If, then, our
fl hermen capture the fish as they ascend
o. before they ascend the streams, and
specially capture the gravid females be-
fore they have deposited their eggs, they
prevent reproduction and effect extermiD-
a'ion. The great popularity of shad roe
asan article OF food has led to an ag-
crayation ofthe evil. The ruthless grab
al operations Of the stake 1a.s and Of
the mephaden fishermen have greatly in
creased the slaughter. The pollution Of
rivers with sewage, and especially Wild
the poisonous waste of factories, hiss
largely repealed from their old sPawiug
grounds such fish as escape the nets and
has played havoc with the young fish
which are Matched. There is little won
der, then, that shad and shsd roe seem
destined in very few years to become
rare luxsries and within the measurable
future to become unknown save in regret
iul memory. It would seem to be com
peteut and appropriate for the fedora
aud state governments both to take action
IL ,ha mater. Tire desired end could
probably be attained by the establishment
Of brief "close season" on shad rivers
in alternate years.

ton has caused considerable comment.

inhabitants of the town had no possible
way of escape. Most of the people were
asleep at the time and we're caught in

caught under the debris and crushed to
death. Gradyville is situated at the
