Mr.. Hapgood's Mistake

There will be those who, on the
theory that a man should stand by
his guns, can excuse the conduct of
Marshall ]. Hapgood of Peru, when
he took the entirely unpopular stand
at the state convention of refusing to
make DR.. Mead's nomination unani-
nous. On the other hand, the
great majority of people will con-
tinue to believe that Mr.. Hapgood's
personal feelings outweighed his
good sense, and that his action in
thus making himself ridiculous was
not the result of sober, consistent
thought over the situation. The
Kisses which greeted him were well
merited, although to be deplored,
for Mr.. Hapgood doubtless acted in
accordance with his convictions.
Whether his views were correct OF
not has no bearing on the matter,
however No end could be accom-
plished by taking the stand that he
did except to bring upon his own
head the disapproval of delegates OF
all parties. Mr.. Hapgood has vindi-
Gated his sobriquet of '"The Great
Objoctor." but in this instance there
is little that can be said in favor OF
his course.-Rutland Herald.

In making his original plans for the sys-
tematic investigation of the waters of the Uni
ted States and the biological and physical
problems they present. Commissioner Baird in
sisted that to study only the food-fishes would
be OF little Importance, and that useful conclu-
sions must needs rest upon broad foundation
OF investigations purely scientific in character
The life history of species of economic value
should be understood from beginning to end
but no less requisite is it to know the histories
of the animals and plants upon which they feed
or upon which their fod is nourished: the his
tory OF their enemies and friends and the
friends and foes of their enemies and friends
as we'll as the currents, temperatures, and other
physical phenomena Of the waters in relation
to migration, reproduction and growth
In pursuance of this policy the bureau has
secured the services Of many prominent men of
science and much of the progress in the arti-
fetal propagation of fishes, in the investigation
OF fishery problems, and in the extension of
knowledge Of our aquatic resources has been

public the practical results OF applied science
but has contributed to pure science valuable

The importance to the fishing interests of
the work OF the bureau in connection with the
economic fisheries is widely appreciated and
freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries
Of the bureau afford the only ADEQUATE basis
for determining the condition and trend of the
fisheries and the results of legislation, protec
ton. and cultivation. Among the numerous
special matters in which the bureau has bene-
flied the fisheries the following may be men,
toned:
BY bringing to the attention of American
fishermen new methods and new apparatus,
new fisheries have sometimes been established
and new fields exploited.

nually to the New England fishermen
Owing to the appalling mortality among the
crews of the New England fishing vessels,
caused in large part by the laundering of ves-
sells at sea, the bureau many years ago under
took the introduction into the offshore fisheries

carrying capacity and great sped with en-.

In the daily press, personal interviews, e.

was enabled to inaugurate momentous change
In the architecture of fishing vessels; so that
for a long time the New England schooners
have been constructed on the now lines, with
consequent minimizing of disasters and de-
cided increase In efficiency.
In other fisheries and regions the bureau
has likewise advocated improved types of YES
sells and boats especially adapted to local con-
ditions. and has published plans and specidca-
tons embodying the results Of studies Of the
fishing hotilla of the world
The results of the bureaus efforts in this
line in saving life and property. in increasing
the usefulness of the vessels, and In improving
the quality Of the catch as landed. cannot be
estimated. but the beneficial effects may be
partly appreciated when It is stated that during
the ten years ending in 1885,, when the old
types of vessels were in use, there were lost
by laundering from the port Of Gloucester
alone, 80 vessels, valued at more than $400, 900,
with their crews of 1876 men, while during the
ten years ending in 1907. the losses from this
cause aggregated only fourth as many YES

While surveying a new bank on the coast
OF Alaska, the government steamer Albatross
IN 20 minutes made the experimental catch of
coo and halibut shown in one of our illustra-
lions. AS result of explorations of the AL
batross on the Pacific coast, fisheries of great
Importance have been established there
The hatcheries on the rivers and lakes of
the Pacific coast are devoted almost exclr-
siVely to the various salmons. In California,
where the bureau established a salmon hatch
cry as early as 1872, there is one central or
main station, at Baird, on the McCloud river.

tributaries of the Sacramento In Oregon a

eral egg-collecting station.
The interests Of the large salmon fisheries
OF the Puget Sound region are safeguarded by
hatchery on Baker lake, on the Skagit river.
A significant feature of artificial preparation
on the Pacific seaboard Is that In the Columbia
basin the Matching of the acclimatized shad has
begun on small SCALE and In the Sacramento
basin the cultivation of the acclimatized striped
bass has commenced urder conditions which in
dictate that more eggs of this species may be
obtained in California than in any of the states
to which the fish is native
The hatcheries in the interior regions con-
stitute the most numerous class, and their
output reaches the largest number of people
Their operations are addressed chiefly to the
so-called game" fishes, which, while caught
mostly by anglers, nevertheless constitute an
important element of the food supply At these
stations large numbers of fish are reared to the
lingering or yearling sizes before being re-
leased; for this purpose more or less extensive
pond areas are required.
The fsh-cultural work of the federal govern.
ment has now attained a magnitude that can
not readily be comprehended, and is increas.
Ing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially
marked has been the increase in the hatchery
product during the past ten years, owing In
part to the extension of operations at existing
stations, and in part to greater efficiency of
methods and appliances. The work during the
fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than
ever before, over three billion fish being pro-
duced and planted.
While the bureau does not lay undue stress
on mere numbers and considers the vitality
of the fish and the conditions under which they
are planted as of paramount importance, the
foregoing figures certainly very suggestive
and as further statement of the magnitude of
the hsh-cultural work, it may be of interest

national fishery service by the passage OF

sioner of fish and fisheries.
The early years of the bureau of fisheries
were devoted to an investigation of the con-
dition of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast,
Great Lakes, and other sections; to studies OF
the interior and coastal waters and their in
habitants, and to exploration OF the of1-shore
fishing banks The cultivation Of useful fishes
was soon taken up throughout the country and
quickly attained large proportions The natur
al expansion of the work was materially aug
mented from time to time by acts of congress.
and in comparatively short time the opera
lions came to have very wide scope.
From year to year. as the Importance of the
work has become increasingly evident, addi-
tional hatcheries have been built, the capacity
of existing hatcheries has been enlarged, the
scale of the operations has been extended, and
new kinds Of fishes have been added to the
output.
