Proposed Fisheries Legislation

The lengthening of the closed sea
SOD for salmon fishing and the abol-
ishing Of summer Sunday fishing are
the main features of identical bills to
be introduced in the Oregon and
Washington legislatures as the result
of conference in Portland of the
concurrent committee appointed by
the legislatures of the two states. An
other measure that was favored by
the concurrent committee is one that
will provide for the determination of
seals and sea lions at the mouth of
the Columbia.

A Boquet For Geo. Meyer

The Blaine Journal recently men,
toned the fact that from the ranch
Of Geo. w. Meyer, on Orcas island,
there came into Bellingham 100 boxes
of Wagner apples which sold for 81. 40
per box. This price was paid for
Mr.. Meyers apples while other boxes
in the same market were selling at
Is cents to $1.00 per box. The whole
secret OF the higher price for the
Meyer apples is aptly told by the Jour
nal in these words: ''We will bet
marbles to chalk that Mr.. Meyer gave
the packing Of those $1.4O apples his
best effort, and that they were not
simply thrown into any old kind Of
box"

photographer, of Seattle, spent a
day or two in town the first of the

agents here to find that so many
pictures have been sold in Friday
HarbOr.

measure for the protection OF both
producers and consumers.
''The present system OF handling
farm products is not satisfactory to
any parties connected with the work
of producing or consuming. 1t places
premium on dishonest dealing and
Injuries the reputation of responsible
men engaged in the business. Pro
ducts of the farm, garden and or
chard are shipped to city dealers
with the understanding that when
sold the receipts shall be returned to
the producer, after the commission
and transportation charges have
been deducted. There is no written
agreement, no sale and no system Of
checking on the agent if the shipper
is not satisfied with the returns. As
a natural result many complaints
are heard from every section of pro-
ducers.
Farmers and consumers are en-.
titled to protection as sellers and
buyers of the necessities of life. The
cost of living has advanced in the last
few years to an alarming point. The
state labor bureau reports an ad.
vance of 40 per cent in che past six
years. Yet the farmers have not
noticed so much advance in the cash
receipts for their products. The
great difference in values represents
the middlemen, or handlers of the
produce. Their profits are counted
without any attempt at controlling
the percentage. In this there is q
weak spot in our system Of doing bus.
mess. Why not remedy that evil by
making all transactions public prop
erty as proposed by the Paulhamus
bill?

BABY SAVED BY MIRACLE.

Almost through a miracle the life
of five months old infant was saved
at Willow Beach, Nahant. Mass.
where it was discovered after it had
apparently been thrown into the sea
The police are certain that someone.
perhaps the child's mother, intended
that it should die.
Chief of Police Larkin, who per-
sonally began an investigation after
the finding of the 'wailing infant, is
of the opinion that the baby was
thrown into the water at a spot where
there are number of jagged rocks
at the full food tide. Instead of be.
ing washed out to sea the child was
carried back toward the shore and
landed between two of the rocks,
where it became firmly wedged.
Every particle of clothing was
water soaked. and the child's face
looked as if it long had been exposed
to the water, but Larkin declares
that it is not likely that it was thrown
from any steamer. He does not be-
leve the child would have floated
long enough to reach the shore II 1t
had come from the ship.
The young ones appearance is not
that of baby that has lacked any
tripg in life. No clews to the identity
of the would-be murderer have been
discovered.

TRAPPING RABBITS.

"There are lots of rabbits in the
woods back Of the rye-field and Two
got six boX-traps in the barn If you'll
see to ''em every morning we'll set the
trap now" This proposition made ia
a fourteenyear old boy, says Mr. Fred
Mather, the author of Men I Have
Fished With" seemed a fine propo-
sition, and the boy instantly agreed.
He was to put the captured rabbits in
a bag, and the man who owned the
traps was to take care Of them. The
boy tells the story:
The next night was clear and crisp,
and oh! how cold that morning was.
The first trap was unsprung. The
second actually held h rabbit. There
was the game crouched in the far end.
l let the trap down, and for few
moments enjoyed my triumph | was
a mighty trapper!
carefully adjusted the bag over
the trap, and then opened it. There
was thud in the bottom of the bag,
and then a glimpse of something gray
and sound of "Zip! zip." and II
that really was a rabbit it was gone
The third trap held a rabbit, and
with the last failure in mind, great
care was taken in arranging the bag,
but somehow the same thing hap
pened again. The next two traps We're
empty. and the sixth was sprung.
Remembering what Garry had said
about a rabbit not biting, | put in q
hand and brought the animal out
some way, memory fails to record
how, but it does bring back the pitt
full cries that rang through the woods
But l hardened my heart and dropped
the game in the bag, and started for
home with my prize, in triumph not
unmixed with other feelings.
After pondering for while on the
escape of the other two rabbits, the
recollection of those pitiful cries came
up in full force. Then / seemed to
realize that they came from a poor,
terrified and harmless thing that
was taking to be killed without the
excitement of the hunt.
l peeped into the bag. Two large
eyes and trembling form were in
the corner. Somehow the grip on tho
mouth of the bag was loosened, the
bottom was turned up, and white
lump of cotton in field of gray went
bobbing off into the brush.
When l entered Tom Simmonds'
store, l said to Garry, Here's your
bag. l haven't got any rabbits. and
don't want any,"

In His Employ.

Passengers who arrived here the
other day on the steamship Korea are
telling with glee how Wong Wong, a
Chinese engineer, also a passenger,
silenced very pompous Britisher
who Joined the liner at Yokohama.
Wong, who is only thirty-two years
old, belongs to one of the best famil-
les in the Chinese Empire. He Is an
educated gentleman of considerable
polish and stands high in his profess
sion. He has brother attending
Yale University and he himself is
college man. He Is now general
manager of what is probably the most
important engineering concern in
China, and is going to Europe ON
wholesale purchasing tour.
The pompous Britisher was intro
duced to Wong and from the first
patronized the little Celestial in
most demonstrative way. Wong
openly resented the Britisher's atti-
tude, but did nothing in retaliation
until one day in the smoking room
just after Wong had told very good
story. The silence that followed the
laugh with which the yarn was
greeted was broken by the Britisher.
"I say, me man." he said, "you
speak English very well for Chi
nese."
YES" replied Wong, 81 have had
great many Englishmen in my en-
ploy."-San Francisco Call.

A Country Editors Good Idea.

The country newspaper is success
full in proportion to the initiative of
the editor. He is one of tho most vi
tai forces in the community in pro-
noting its social and commercial
prosperity An instance of how this
initiative can be made effective is CIV
en- in Fabrics, Fancy Goods and No
tions, which says: "An agreemels
was reached in Western town (pre-
sumably through the influence Of the
local newspaper) between all the mer-
chants whereby they offered special
sales on certain days, each merchant
selecting some special line of goods
upon which he made lower price
than usual. Thus one dry goods
house would sell gloves at a special
price, while another would offer bar
gains in dress goods. One hardware
merchant would reduce the price on
skates. Every line of business was
represented, and care was taken that
no conflicts occurred. Prizes were
then offered to the farmer bringing
in the best load of grain, the finest
lot of hogs or cattle coming the
longest distances. etc, and the bar
gain day was extensively advertised
in the surrounding country, the
names of the merchants and their
special sales being in all cases stated.
The farmers responded in a most
gratifying manner, and the merchants
were we'll pleased with the plan. The
idea has already been carried out in
several cities"

agreed and he called in the lawyer.
1 told him, without reserve. all that
had happened, showing him the leather
case I had taken from the hole where
Brace had placed it.
ga couple Of cunning scoundrels"
he exclaimcd; 'their pretended sus-
picion of each other was, of course,
intended to blind you to their COM
plicity, while each, by duplicating the
other, diverted suspicion from HIM
self"
II was never in my life so com.
pletely deceived" l said. Brace
seemed to me the embodiment of rough
honesty. I liked the man, and it was
a painful shock to me when / found
him unfaithful and thief"
HE is worse than that, Mr. Thorne;
he is a murderer at heart; for there
can be no doubt it was he who at
tempted your life; it was a sheer i'm.
possibility for the other man to do 1t.
We have heard the story of the rob
berry from Sir Edmund. The intelli.
gence that planned the attack was
doubtless Van Hoeck's."
He looks like a man of subtle in.
tellect. I do not see what other part
he could have played in this affair.""
"Sir Edmund told me, SIR" said
b,t
the left wing you heard snoring in
Braces ROOM"
II certainly did"
"That could very well have been Van
Hoeck. who had taken Braces place
while he slipped off into your room
together"
Precisely" said Mr.. Wray; and
then, with an air of business-"Well,
now, what is to be done? that is the
first question. The evidence is in.
sufficient to charge either of the men
even with being concerned in the rob.
berry. The leather case proves moth
ing. They might declare they found It
empty, and have concealed it through
fear OF accusation, or they might
all three swear your statement to be
false, and absolutely accuse you of be.
ing yourself the thief. And until we
can substantiatc the charge by abso
lutte proof. we must be careful to con.
ceal our suspicious from them. If they
think they are likely to be brought to
justice. they will quit the country
by the first steamer that leaves South
ampton-and we cannot stop them.
The thing that must be done at once is
to search for the diamond That is
your affair" he said, addressing the
officer; undoubtedly they have placed
it somewhere in Southampton, in readi.
ness to take If fight becomes neces.
sary."
