isfaotory use Of the fisheries of these wa
sters which can not otherwise be achieved.
Lake Erie, for example, has the richest
fresh water fisheries in the world; but It
is now controlled by the statutes OF two
nations, four states, and one province,
and this province by two different ord1-
nances In different counties. All these
political divisions work at cross pur-
poses, and in no case can they achieve
protection to the fisheries, on the one
hand, and justice to the localities and in-
sdiyiduals on the other. The case Is SINH
= lar in Puget sound.
But the problem is quite as pressing
in the Interstate waters OF the Y nlted
States. The salmon fisheries OF the Co
lumbia river are now but fracton OF
what they were Is years ago, and what
81 they would be now if the United States
government had taken complete charge
& of them by intervening between Oregon
and Washington. During these Is years
the fishermen seof each state have
naturally tried to take all they could get,
and the two legislatures have never been
able to agree on Joint action Of any kind
adequate in degree for the protection Of
the fisheries. At the moment the fishing
on the Oregon side Is practically closed,
while there is no limit on the Washing
ton side Of any kind, and no one can tell
what the courts will decide as to the
very statutes under which this action
and non-action result. Meanwhile very
few salmon reach the spawning grounds.
and probably four years hence the fish
cries will amount to nothing; ana this
comes from a struggle between the as
sociated, or gill-net. fishermen on the
ono hand, and the owners Of the fishing
wheels up the river. The fisheries Of
the Mississippi, the Ohio, and the Po-
tomac are also IN q bad way. For this

Sterling Stock

At this time we desire to call your
attention to the great clearing sale
of the Sterling Stock of Clothing and
Furnishings. Already you know of
our purchase of this immense stock
of goods-involving matter of $75,-
100000. We are determined not to
carry dollars worth of this stock
past the middle of September. If
prices will move this stock, the stock
will move. That the prices are right
is evidenced by the rapidity with which
it is moving. Now is the time to
provide for future wants at prices that
are almost ridiculously low.

At our bargain prices you can outfit
the boys for year or two, and do it

them dressed for three months. We
know what boys do to clothing.

We can fit out the union man

We handle only the best in union
made goods. Frankly, we demand
something more than the presence of
the label on the goods we handle. The
goods have to "stand up" with our
trade. 1t must be the best-and that
is just what the wage Garner is en-
titled to for his money. No man
ought to get more for his money than
the man who earns it in the sweat of
his face.

pretty fad that is popular In Paris

Here is a hint for the girl who always

This Zsw frin is boon to the girl
who cannot wear flowers, much as she
would Ike to. because they fade on her
almost as soon as they are put on.
Sometimes the artificial flower is sub

muff and the boutonniere.
