ago. While it contains no drastic
recommendations for the abolishment
of trap fishing in Puget Sound waters
or the establishment of closed sea-

ed in the fishing industry seemed to
fear that it might. it does contain
some rather serious criticisms of the
administration of the fisheries laws
in this state. After emphasizing the
lack of an efficient patrol of Souno
waters during the fishing season, DR.
Jordan says:
ssThe present statutes are fairly
we'll enforced in most of the eastern
boundary states. notably 80 in Ohio
and Pennsylvania. In Washington
they are not so adequately enforced.
1t is claimed that in the current sea-
son the fishermen of WASHINGTON
caught by enoroachment on the close
season salmon to the value of upwards
of six hundred thousand dollars. to
which they were not entitled. Part
of these should have been taken in
British Columbia waters. The others
should have escaped mp the Fraser
river to the spawning grounds. In
Canada. throughout the boundary
waters, the statutes now in effect are
rigidly enforced. 1t does not even
occur to any one to violate them"

Bill Squires came from Australia.

Bill Squires, with his two fists,

You would think that a small boy
who had lost one leg under street

Rensleur wasn't that kind of a
boy. He couldn't run, or jump or
take part in the regulation field
contests. but he could learn to
swim. And he did.
Now he is looked upon as one Of
the fastest middle distance swim
mers of the world. He has twice
won the championship of Australia
and is the holder of several records
| in his own country. In recent
coast championship meet. held in
training, he finished a close second
in a fast half-mile race in the
water. That's what started the talk
about him on the coast. He is

The one-legged speed marvel de-
ponds upon his arms entirely for

as lever to maintain proper equil-
ibrium in the water. His style is
peculiar to himself, an adaptation
to suit his needs of the double over
hand stroke of the finished water
sprinter.
