A proper color scheme is extremely
important In painting a house. 1t

As to the exterior. good deal de-

must consider the size of the rooms,

Amelia came running eagerly down

smiling with the joy OF vernon's com

long enough to shake out the skirt of
the new spring gown she wore. with a
manner that told she had 1t on that
evening for the first time. Vernon

until he had kissed her and released
her from his embrace that she saw the
dressing-case he had set down In the
hall
Whats that for?" she asked in
alarm. Her smile faded suddenly, leav-
ing her face wholly serious.

Admiral Alfred Won Tirpitz, secretary of the
navy in the German cabinet, is the man who is
really responsible for the sudden spasm of navy
building that is going on at desperate rate
upon two continents. In that connection he is

uneasiness in at least one country outside his
own. For his determination to make his country

GOOD INTENTIONS GO WRONG
Scarcity of Salmon in Rivers Attrib-
uted to Killing of Sealions.

Astoria.-Althoug the slaughter of
sealions has been carried on systemati-
cally for some years and has received
the sanction of the state authorities as
being means of getting rid of one of
the greatest natural enemies to the
salmon, there is a well-defned oppo-
sition to the practice being continued
growing among some of those who have
been directly interested in the fishing
industry for several years.
They assert that while the sealions
exist on salmon and destroy many of
those fish, they also drive the fish into
the river, and that otherwise the salmon
will not enter fresh water until they are
ripe and ready to spawn. To substan-
tiate their contention these men say
that similar case occurred in Norway
some years ago. There the government
took up the work of destroying certain
natural enemies of the salmon and the
result was that the fish stopped entering
the rivers in schools or "runs,' but
struggled in much as they have done in
the Columbia this season.
This year there were hundreds of sea-
lions killed off the mouth of the Colum-
bia and many more were frightened
away, and the runs of salmon have been
small. At Tillamook and Nehalem there
were large numbers of sealions and more
Chinook salmon were caught there than
ever before.
