March 81. by four members of the
Moran family. 1t is understood that
the object is to protect the deer from

H.. P Kennedy states that there is no

ground filed upon consists principally

Ethel A. Allatt. Rosario. All the
applicants are related to the Moran
family, and each filed on $50 acres. a
quarter section. The land was filed
on under the timber and stone law,
which provides that the applicant
must swear that the land is only val
liable for the timber and stoae and
not for AGRICULTURAL purposes. The
minimum purchase price fixed by law
is 50 so an acre, and this is the price
paid by the Morans.

The Wind and the Tree


Discussing the topic of planting
orchards, at the last meeting of the
Washington State Horticultural So
ciety, e G. Burlingame of Walla
sWalla, brought out the point that 1t
is we'll to remember the direction Of
prevailing winds when setting out
the fruit trees. He has noted the
fact that the side of the tree away
from the prevailing wind is apt to be
the heavier aid the limb growth on
that side much the better, whereas
the limbs on the windy SIDE of the
tree are hindered in their develop
ment. Mr.. Burlingame advocates
grating new limbs or buds into the
young tree where the wind has kept
them from growing.

llle Food of Fishes; How Salmon
Probably Obtain Their Sustenance

Close students of marine life and
epxerts on the habits and habitats of
fishes have been much puzzled to ac-
count for the fact that the great
schools" of salmon which annually
come from some unknown part of the
sea and rush toward the fresh waters
OF the rivers where they were spawn
d.arrive on the fishing banks with
empty stomachs although in fat con.
dition. Possibly the secret of their
sustenance is told in the following
interesting article on t'The Food of
Fishes,' recently published in Har-
per's Weekly:
Much interesting information has
OF late years been gathered with ref
erence to the wonderful and invisible
supply accorded by Nature for the
feeding of the millions upon millions
OF fishes going to make up her oceanic
population.
"Ihe most minute examination of
shallow waters near the shore will
not throw much light upon The ques-
tion of what food the fishes find when
out in the open seas. The conditions

too closely to admit of free quest

1.-The answer to the Question lies
in the universal presence of those mi
croscopic creatures that in some parts
of the ocean are so thickly massed in
the water as to discolor it's surface
and afford abundant food for the
whale. These are now known to per-
wade every drop of surface water in
umbers comparable to the notes in
the air. For the purposes, therefore,

countless other vertebrate fish. she'll

others again are in the form of the

existence of thes, creatures is one of
the greatest economic triumphs of
nature. 1t is by them that the refuse

ters are kept sweet. Dead animal
and vegetable matter feed them. and
they, in turn. are converted into the

Bodies of Wreck Victims
Found on Island Shores

| Ano uoOlos OF IOur OF the nv0 MEM
bers OF the crew OF the ili-fated gaso-
line schooner Arthur B.. who were
drowned when the schooner foundered
week ago last Tuesday at the mouth
OF the Fraser river, near the Sand
Point liRhtship, have been recovered,
three of them in this county. one near
Malta island. one near Stuart island
and the third near the west coast of
Orcas island. The body recovered
near Malta has been identified IS
that of Herbert Weeks, son of one
of the owners of the. schooner. The
one found near Stuart was tlat of
Oliver Halverson. cook. and the third,
found near Orcas Tuesday morning.
was that of Charles P. Lord, son of
William R. Lord, formerly cannery-
man at Anacortes. The first body
was picked up near Lnmmi island by
employees of the Carlisle Packing Co..
and was identified as that of w. j.
McGranahan. master of the vessel.
we're brought here and prepared for
burial. that of Mr.. Weeks being
shipped to Vancouver Tuesday. Mr..
Halverson was buried in the Valley
cemetery Wednesday afternoon. The
body of Mr.. Lord was shipped to
Vancouver from Orcas Tuesday.
The Arthur B. was bound from Ia
coma for Vancouver with a cargo of
cement and plaster. When she ar
rived at the month of the Fraser river
she was seen to be flying distress sig
nails. and later foundered. 1t was
impossible to reach the vessel before
she sank. The sinking of the vessel
was watched by men on the ligbtship
off the sand heads of the Faser river
mouth. who we're powerless to render
aid because of the high sea running
and the terrific wind prevailing. To
them it appeared that the vessel sud-
denly capsized and there was gener-
al belief that the crew of the tug Was
caught entirely without warhingsof the
impending fate. The fact that the
bodies recovered had life preservera
on explains why they floated such
distance from the scene of the disas-
ter.
Captain William Joseph McGrana-
han. in command of the Arthur B.
was 81 years old. No relatives reside
in this country. He came to the
Northwest country last October. from
Greenwich. Scotland. where he was
born, and where his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph McGrsnaban, still re-
side. The body was taken to VAN
couver for burial by the company
owning the tugboat.
The second body found was that
of Herbert Weeks. son of one of the
owners of tho tug. He was "a years
old, and was on the Arthur B. as Sec
ond engineer He was born in New
foundland. Nova Scotia. but removed
to the Northwest with his parents
several years ago. Charles Lord was
19 years old. and resided with hia
father, William K. Lord, at Vancou-
YER. Of Mr.. Halverson, the cook. lit
tie is known even by the owners OF
the vessel, by whose orders the body
was buried in the Valley cemetery.
