About 25, 900 big mouth black bass,
1000 crappy and 1000 ring perch were
put into Fish lake last Thursday. The
cans of minnows which had been taken
from the Lake Union hatchery at Seattle
were received at Chiwaukum from H.
Ref, game warden Of King county, by
Percy Scheble, game warden OF Chelan
county. Mr.. Scheble had intended to
divide the fish between Fish lake and
Lake Wenatchee; but upon reaching
Fish lake after hasty journey from
Chiwaukum he was disappointed in not
meeting the man who had been en-
gagged to take half the fish to Lake
Wenatchee. AS Mr.. Schedules team
was in no condition to continue the
trip to Lake Wenatchee in time to
prevent the fish from dying in the cans,
he put them all in Fish lake. Next
spring Mr.. Scheble will arrange for the
stocking of Lake Wenetchee.

Mr.. Brady has cut out the restaurant
business and has devoted the past year

months developing his mining proper
ties near Blewett. Mr.. Brady reports
considerable activity in the Blewett

critics during the summer, and it is
expected next spring there will be the
greatest mining activity in the history
OF the camp. -Wenatchee World.

ton has heretofore been paid.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
 HOLD THEIR CAUCUS

Washington, D. C.. Dec. e-With great seriousness. the Democratic members of the Senate met in caucus today to elect successor to Senator Culberson, who has determined to re- sign as chairman of the caucus be- cause of all health.
 A tentative program had been ar ranged by which Mir. Money. vice chairman, was to be elevated to the leadership and was to decline because of disinciination to take upon himself such duties because of i'll health l. Senator Bacon was then to be selected as chairman.
 With this program agreed upon, Senator Culberson's letter was read to the assemblage and then 1t was dis covered that he had not resigned the chairmanship, but had merely stated his purpose of SO doing.
 Immediately all the well laid plans of the statesmen were upset and fur. ther action was postponed until der mite action Is taken by the Texas Senator.
 The caucus elected Thomas W. Kel- lar. of West Virginia. as It's door keeper, which position Is equivalent to sergeant-at-arms on the floor Of the Senate. Mr. Kellar has been in the employ. of the Senate thirty-five years.

If the old clerks who have done faithful work and who are too old to work longer were to be pen- stoned their places could be filled where necessary by young men and women. There would be no necessity of filling all of their places because one new young. vigorous appointed could do all the work that four or i've of the decrepit ones manage to do today.

WHY ENERGY or
 WAVES CANNOT BE
 PRoFITABLY UTILIZED

Why the dream of utilizing the en- ergy of waves cannot be realized has been explained by Signer Riccardo Sal. vadori. The mean horsepower oi waves he finds to be really quite small and even if the energy were less vari. able, the expense of accommodating It. In reservoirs of compressed air. for In stance--could not be considered.
 Waves a yard high furnish one horse power per yard of coast. waves two yards high yielding seven horse pow CT. The yard-high wave Is usually thu greatest that can be depended on fol half of the days of the year, and the cost of, a plant to utilize It's energ, would be something like s1.ooo pel horse power.
