Jiggers and Federal Control of Salmon Fisheries

The recommendation of the Inter
national Fisheries Commissioners for
the regulation of the salmon fisheries
of the Puget Sound and British Col
umbia waters have aroused active op
position from the Gamers and fisher
men on both sides of the line. Puget
Sound packers are unitedly opposed
to federal control and say that most
of the regulations proposed are al
ready in successful operation under
the state law. Trap owners are par
ticularly aroused by DR.. Jordan g
that jiggers be abol-
ished. Their attitude upon this point
and also upon the question OF federal
control is we'll expressed by L. j..
German. a we'll known packer and
trap owner, who is quoted as saying
"Fully one-h half of the fish traps In
Puget Sound waters, many OF which
are the best we have. are so located
that they could not be operated profit
ably without the jiRger. 1t compeil
ed to operate without iigger, the
fish would be swept past the traps and
would pass on into Canadian waters
for the benefit of Canadian fishermen.
l maiutain that the recommendation
would amount to the confiscstion OF
one half the fish traps in Puget Sound
waters. and that the loss would be
gain to British Columbia. DR.. DOR

Resolution Against

Senator Blair went to Aberdeen
this week to attend the Good Roads
Convention as delegate from this
county. taking with him the follow

mercial Club with only one dissenting
vote:
"Whereas. San Juan County is the
smallest county in the state in land
area, and only about one fourth Of
it's area can be used for the purpose
of farming or fruit growing, and
"Whereas, this county. being com
posed entirely of islands, cannot be
connected with any state road, trunk
line or otherwise. therefore be It
Resolved. that it is the sense of

Much Depends Upon
Good Water System

"Has anything more been heard or
done about the water system?" in
quired Alfred Coffelt at The islander
office this week. II wish it was as
sured. If l could depend upon 1t I
believe would stay here.'' Mr..
Coffelt had just sold his machine
shop lathe and drill and was thinking
over the question of new location.
"A good water system is this towns
greatest need," said he. "Without
it no new manufacturing enterprises
can be expected here and they are of
course necessary to provide work in
my line. 1 have had about all l
could do alone, but one man ma
chine shop don't amount to much"
Mr.. Cofeit feels confident that good
gravity water system would be such
an immediate stimulus to the growth
of the town that he would gladly re-
main here and would have no hesitan-
cy about putting in larger lathe and
much better equipped shop than he
has heretofore had.
In this connection it may be said
that Mr.. Tibbals has been expected
over from Port Townsend for the past
two weeks to continue bis investiea-
tion of the water question, but the
weather has not been favorable for
the work. He has probably also been
awaiting the result of the analysis of
the water from Trout lake which he
took away with him at the time of his
first visit. 1t was stated then that the
water had been sent to San Francisco
for analysis. 1t was Mr.. Tibbals' in
tention at first to send the water
there but he changed his mind and sent
it to Milwaukee laboratory instead.

greater part of the income of the sys-
tenn. If the Trout lake water should
prove unsuitable for culinary use.
there would be no difficulty in pro-
viding an adequate supply for such
use from Lored wells. In fact there
are enough bored wells here now,
ranging IN depth from about 60 to
800 feet. to supply all the water that
is required for culinary use only.

Pleasantly Started
On Crane Island

j. 9. Hammond. of Seattle, owner
of Crane island, was here Saturday
enroute to this home after few days
visit to bis island property. Mr..
Hammond is very enthusiastic about
the pheasant business. enough so that
he has devoted much of his time to
it's study and expects to engage in
the business on quite an extensive
scale. Last year he raised some six
ty birds AZ an experiment and this
year hopes to raise at least 500 birds.
He has the Chinese. Golden and Sill
YER species and says that all are pure
bred stock. His brother. @. A.
Hammond, has charge of the place,
which he styles the Crane Island
Pleasantly, and he is also much in
terested in the work. The birds, he
says, are as easily raised as chickens
and require about the same care. The
eggs can be Matched under any good
hen will brood them the same
as young chicks until they are able to
care for themselves. Unlike young
chicks. when few days old they will
leave the hen during the day and scat
ter about in the brush and hide the
same as those not in captivity, but at
niRhtfall will return to the hen and
nestle under her wings to be kept
warm during the night.
Heretofore the county has import
ed it's birds at an expense of several
hundred dollars, but Mr.. Hammond
says that be hopes soon to be able to
supply this demand and by doing 80
keep this money at home and further
one of the county's industries. In
an advertisement which appears in an
other column of this paper he offers

one pair now of the Silver pheasants
and consequently is making no prom

The second way is to prepare a
stock solution by using the inRre-

dlent. in the proportion of FIVE pounds
sulphur, three pounos lime, three GAL
Ions water.
Slake the lime first ;add the sulphur.
Stir we'll together. and add water to
make three gallons. Boil briskly for
one hour then let settle. When cool
dip off the clear liquid into contalner
that can be kept tightly covered. and
the stock solution is ready for use at
any time. The stock solution is to
be diluted with water before being
used. The only way to know the
right quantity of water to be added
is by the use of hydrometer. Use
either Beaume's acid scale hydrome
ter or Beaume's heavy liquid hydrom-
eter. These instruments can be pro-
cured by any drugRiet and might cost
a dollar. A solution that tests thir
ty degrees by the hydrometer is called
STANDARD solution'' and may be
diluted one to six for winter spraying
fo: the oyster she'll scale. Should the
test show only twenty-five degrees
dilutiOn OF one to FIVE had better be
used. Experience may prove that
the stock solution may be diluted
still more for the oyster shell scale.
Should the user desire more lime, and
the addition OF, more lime is recon-
mended. it can be slaked. as previous
ly suggested. and kept in another bar
rel and added to the stock solution
when it is being diluted for use. At
least five pounds of lime per barrel is
suggested. The lime makes the spray
more easily seen and possibly adds
to the efficiency of the spray for the
oyster she'll scale. Experiments which
have been carried on for the last three
years have proven that the STANDARD
thirty degree stock solution can be
diluted one to twenty Ave or thirty
and be used successfully as a preven-
tative of apple scab. Also that it is
practicable to add arsenate of lead
to the diluted solution.
Some of the advantages Of the stock
solution are:
1t Will keep and is always ready for
use. 1t can be used for winter and
summer spraying by proper dilution.
It will take less labor to prepare a
given amount of spray by tue stock
solution method than by the lib
formula. There will be no loss from
the solution crystalizing as the lib
formula does after standing for a
time,. The stock solution method Is
recommended to the large orchardist.
A persistent use of the lime sulphur
solution will clean the trees from all
moss and scale insects. also insect
eggs. and seems to be good for the
trees on general principles. 1t can
be used any time when the trees are
dormant. Spray all kinds of fruit
trees, currant and gooseberry bushes.
rose bushes. etc. Put on plenty OF
the spray and use as much force as
possible. The spray remains on the
tree for most of the season and seems
to keep the tree free from infection
Preserve this for future reference.

Strata and if Successful Tap
with Ten=Inch
Casing

The Pyramid property, located six and one
half miles from Santa Paula and adjoining
the ClarlS-Sherman property known as she
CapitaI Crude and the Bard wells, is now
down 500 feet with a tweve-inch casing and
is expected to reach the first oil stratum at
about 1000 feet, going into the second stratum
with ten-inch casing. The Clark-Sherman
well adjoining is the pump at 154O feet,
producing $50 barrels per day of from 2S to 30
gravity oil, which is used at their refinery
at Santa Paula
The Clark-Sherman well has not gone into
the second oil sands which the Pyramid oper-
ators propose to do with a ten-inch casing.
The success of this enterprise means much
to this district. 1t will extend the proven
territory with a big we'll into the second
stratum.
In the person of r. K. Howk as superin-
tendent, the company has a man well expert
enoed in the development of the oil industry
of California. He intends starting a second
