The Future of the
Salmon Industry

According to the Seattle fish com.
panies. the spring salmon catch ur
the Sound is the largest in years.
Private fisherman find it difficult to
secure buyers for their fish.
With the canned salmon market
practically bare of all grades save
pinks, of which the supply is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000
cases. the opening prices are expected
to be at least as high as those of last
year.
In a recent interview on the salmon
situation, State Fish commissioner
John T.. Rlseland said:
''The future of the salmon fishing
industry on Puget Sound depends on
artificial propagation. and we plan ex
tensive improvements to increase the
hatchery output of the state. OF the
60. OOO, 900 fry turned out this year,
the greatest number are silver salmon.
At the Wind river hatchery we will
construct additional nursery ponds,
and considerable repair work will be
done and additional nursery ponds
provided at the Nisqually, Sultan and
Nooksack hatcheries. The largest
improvement will be made at the Ka
lama hatchery. where the largest nur-
sery ponds in the state will be con-
structed. A tract of seven acres has
been purchased for this purpose and
Will be utilized to take care of the ad-
ditional output from the increase
that is being made in the hatching
facilities.
s'Reports from the Columbia river
are very satisfactory. A fine grade of
| blueback salmon is being taken and
the outlook is good for larger season
than last year.
''The pack of sockeye on the Sound
will be about the same as last year.
but larger number of springs and
fall salmon will be packed. The value
of the salmon pack of Puget Sound
last season was about 1900. 900. and
it will run at least to that point this
season. -

Friday Hdrbor
Again Victorious

A holiday crowd from all parts of
the county came to see the game be-
tween the local players and the Bell

and it looked that way for the first
four innings. When it came to the
fifth inning the local players landed
on Pitcher Benefits curves with such
effect that IA runs were brought in.
Roster, and Blaine. the battery for
Friday Harbor, were in excellent form
and received the very best of support
from the rest of the team.

Boys who are tired of going to
school should read the following
written by Superintendent Adams
of Lafayette College: "The average
educated man gets a salary of 81. 600
per year. He works 40 years. making
a total of $40. 600 in a life time. The
average day laborer gets $3.50 per
day: 300 days in "a year. or $3.50 a
year. In 40 years he earns $4,000.
The difference of s22. 900 equals the
value of an education. To acquire
the earning capacity required IL
years at school of $50 days each. or
2. 100 days. Divide S22. 900 the value
of education. by 2.l60. number of
days REQUIRED to get it. and we find
that each day at school is worth a

Minnesota Better Than Illinois.

q. NJ. Eckman returned Wednes-
day morning from Illinois, where he
spent few days getting acquainted
with the land men, who are working
with him to get settlers here and
says that conditions are very favor
able for quite a number of settlers
from there this year. as many expect
to come here and look over land
when they are through seeding.
Farm lands in Illinois are worth
from 500 to $500 per acre and looks
to be about the same quality as
here, while the climate is more
damp. about the only advantage
over here being the corn crop. He
says one very noticeable feature
there Is the large number of high
schools scattered through the coun-
try districts. Farm buildings there
do not average up with Minnesota.

Emigration From Canada.

Some mysterious force is at work
in Manitoba. Many herds of deer
and caribou are crossing the line and
invading Minnesota. This remark
able trekking of deer and caribou to
points farther south may lie a result
OF the long winter experienced in
Canada, or it may pressage another
drought similar, to the one the
Canadian farmers experienced last
year. From information received
In Saint Paul several herds of deer
passed in the vicinity of Warroad
few days ago. Travellers from the
Roseau river country report both
herds of deer and caribou moving
southward. They appear to be head
ing for the Red Lake and Eastern
Red river lake and forest country.
where owing to the activity of the
Minnesota game wardens, they will
find a hospitable reception. This
country was once full of these timid
animals. but owing to the indiscri-
inmate manner they were pursued
by hunters. they were almost exter-
minated. They are evidently coming
back to Minnesota because there is
something going to happen in
Canada.
On Saturday morning a big
moose or caribou was seen near this
city. He passed the house of Gust
johnson. who lives north of the
brick yard. When first seen by Mr..
Johnson. the animal stood on the
Great Northern railway track. TAX
ing a survey of the surrounding
country. Then he started in
westerly direction across the fields
until he got to the old Mentzer farm
where he headed south for the river.
He left his big tracks in the soft
fields and could easily have been
followed up. had any one cared to
violate the game laws.
The moose passed tue same way
back on Tuesday morning. going
east at rapid gate.

RObber Suspects Bound Over.

Last week James A. Nolan, one of

bound over to the Grand Jury.
The other man who calls himself
James Raymond alias Joe Iglinski,
James Wilson and James wilkins
asked for postponement of a week.
He will have his hearing today and
will no doubt be bound over as there
is strong circumstantial evidence
against him. Another suspect was
brought from Minneapolis last week
and is now in jail.
