Doe Bay correspondent writes:
Our Club has done good work and
we have posted no hunting signs all
long the line. We are calling
special meeting on Thursday night
to patrol the north side during
the remainder of the close season
particularly the few days before the
opening Of the hunting season. We
are trying to keep a close watch
that the laws are respected. We
expect every member to report any
infraction that may come under his
notice, especially the shooting OF
does or fawns. You might help us
in getting an estimate Of the num-
Der of deer killed and exported dur
ing October. 1t will be difficult
matter to get at true estimate but
the information we gather may help
to get, say three years close season,
or the Island declared Game Re

few seasons under the present laws,
and game on Orcas island will be a
thing of the past. 1t is matter of
determination or protection and

CLAIMS from the Deep Sea

Chief Engineer; Bendixson, of the
u S. quartermaster's steamer Major
Evan Thomas, has. invented deep
sea clamdigger,, which from appear
ances will be a success and in the
near future the clameaters Of this
and other sections will not have to
wait for the tide to run out before
they can have a square meal. The
machine consists of an oblong cage
made Of steel bars. At the front
end is series of steel teeth which
will plow the bottom Of the sea to
q depth of eight or ten inches when
the machine is being dragged or
towed and the clans will be forced
into the cage at the end Of which is
attached a net for releasing the
clans and when this is filled it will
be hoisted to the deck of the vessel
and emptied and again lowered in
the water. Pt. Townsend Leader.

IrOIlerS Are Max
ing Big Money

The fishing banks are now paying
larger dividends than any of the
other banks in the county and the
fishermen are swarming there like
bees around a bee hive. Catches
of 20 to 40 a day and even more are
reported. At IS cents each, it looks
like easy money. But it's not so
easy. There are some hardships
connected with it. It's cold, wet
job. The sea is sometimes rough,
and roughing it in tent or smelly
greasy boat is far from life of
ease. The pay is good however, and
that is about everything. The
whole town is enthusiastic about the
fishing and all who can are prepar-
ing to go. Mayor Murray is going.
Also Congressman Humphrey is
going as an equal partner of the
mayors. Fishing pays better than
these little. political jobs. Ike Sand
with is over there with an eye to
the sport there is in it. Other lead
ing citizens will be pulling and
chugging about the banks before
the month is up. The most success
full trollers use a small launch and
put out from three to five lines.
The lines are fastened to poles run
ming out from each side of the boat.
It's lively work when two or three
fish are hooked at the same time.
The run should last for a month
longer. Better go while the fishing
is good.

About Wells

No we'll should be located where
polluting matter has access to it.
Such matter usually comes from
cesspools or privies, slops thrown on
the surface. backings from henyards.
pigpens and barnyards, from manur-
ed fields, animals falling into the
water. and filth thrown in through
the open top or washed in through
the plank coverings or leaky castings.
The matter entering through the
top can be kept out by cement, iron
or other impervious curbings. The
entrance of material at the bottom
of shallow wells can be prevented
only by locating them beyond the
reach of contamination. Where any
of the polluting agents are present.
care should be taken to see that the
well s.located at least 100 feet away
and on distinctly higher ground SO
that both the surface drainage and
the underground drainage-which
generally moves in the same direc-
ton will be away from it. On
fiat sands the wells should be at
least $50 feet from any source of
pollution. The Importance of choos-
ing a location safe from polluting
influences is almost universally un-
derestimated. Laying aside consi-
derations of comfort and health,
safe well is nearly always. in the long
run the cheapest. Safety should
invariably be made the first consider
alton instead Of the last. From

The historical fact presented are
of local interest and probably new
to most of our readers.
In the first quarter of the 10Th
century it was fashionable for the
nations of the earth, especially
France and Great Britain. to send
out expeditions for scientific re-
search. Especially France sent
around the world what is known as
the Astrolabe Expedition and Great
Britain sent out the Challenger Ex-
pedition In emulation of these
great expeditions the United States
planned similar work which cir
cled the globe with a fleet Of vessels
making scientific researches during
the four years from 1888 to 1912.

the Wilkes Expedition. In 1841
that expedition reached the waters
of Puget Sound. One of the ships,
The Peacock having been delayed by

enter the Columbia River was

on that vessel was James Dwight
Dana who has left a fine account Of
the wreck in his exceedingly inter-
esting book called "Corals and Cor

to remember that when one Of the
