 Tn the same way we are collecting the eggs of the pike, perch and lake trout, ana are doing much to improve the supply of these and other valuable fishes.
 How Fish Are Distributed
 How is it possible to carry fish over the country so that they will keep alive and grow when planted?'
 We do that in various ways. We have special cars, each of which is filled with 20 or more large water tanks in which the fish are carried There are also com partments which hold more than a thou sand gallons of reserve water. We have a boiler room on such a car. and plant to pump water and air into the tanks. There are also sleeping places. and kitchen and a pantry for the men. These cars may be attached to q regular train and dropped off as needed. In sending small shipments we use ten gallon cans, which are carried in baggage cars. The cans areA handled by our own messengers. In some years our cars and messengers travel over 3O00O0 miles in distributing young fish,"

 As they eat and drink at this weekly function they have their ancestors for company, for the walls are covered with portraits of the members of their fam fly who have gone beyond.
 Sometimes those five brothers have to walk only from their private offices in the great building to the council cham Der. Sometimes one or more of therl have to travel long distances to be present. Generally they make their engagements so that nothing will in- terfere with this family gathering. In no other great industry in America, perhaps is the family tie so strong as in this one. In no family, perhaps, is there a greater spirit of unity or more faithful observance of old GUS toms. No one family has had greater prosperity in all it's branches, and no family started from humber begin nings.

 "A four-month tour of Europe has on- vinced me that my own country has the best government in the world America is the land of opportunity-the land of opportunity for rich and poor alike. Hard work is all that is required, and you'll always find the hardest worker at the top.

this feast of a thousand men. Austen acted as toastmaster. Richard brewed the coffee, as his grandfather had done a hundred years before. One of the speechmakers was a man who had been with the firm for 50 years He had started as an errand boy. Another was Gn old Irishman who had been with the fac tory staff for half century. There was another who haC started as mail boy before the civil war and who had Gn- swered the call of Lincoln. He served his country on the field of battle. and when peace came he returned to his work in the House of the Five Coffee Cups. There were nine men at the banquet who were in the 45 class II in the 4O year ser vice class 30 in the B year class and 30 in the 90 year class. There were women, too, at the banquet table Some of them had been in the company's service many years, but none long enough to be In the % year class.
 The men from the factory and the men from the offices were not the only ones who were there. The foreign representa- tives of the house were brought from all the lands of the globe. They were there from Australia, from the Argentine, from France, from Italy. from Canada, from Bulgaria, from Spain-eyerywhere And while the big family feasted every wheel in the mammoth factory across the Hud- son was stilled.
 The old boys told anecdotes of old New York and of their carly days. Most of the employees had been down 10 visit the little old house in Dutch street before go- ing to the banquet hall. Soap and sent- ment are not usually allied, but in this instance they are.
 Until a year ago the offices of this great house remained in that old Dutch street building and it's anneXes, with the furni- ture of olden times retained and cherished as priceless heir looms. But now the headquarters of the business is in a mann. moth structure near the great factory across the river from Manhattan. The little Dutch street house retains it's mem o,,iac- and 1ttla nnore

ture, but that is the condition on these | banks.
 ''The Alaskan banks are about 12O miles or more long. They have considerable width and are inhabited by millions of cod | and hallbut l have photograph of a | catch of cod and halibut which our men | took in 20 minutes on the Alaskan banks. These fish are so plentiful that the catch ing of them will some day be very great industry"
 Our Alaskan Fisheries "Give me some idea of the Alaskan fsheries.''
 They are of enormous value. Including the seal we have already gotten about $l0,0o0,000 out of Alaska fish products. The salmon has netted over $100 OO0 000, which is more than II times what we paid for the territory. We are now receiving up- ward of sl0,0O0,000 year out of Alaskan salmon alone.
 ''1n addition to that there is the Alaska herring" Dr. Smith continued. "There are so many of them that they are caught and sold as fertilizer. They should sup ply the United tSates and take the place of those which we are importing.
 The cod and halibut are likely to yield a great deal. The halibut is now being caught in Alaska and taken down to Seattle and Vancouver and shipped to the
 
 halibut, and they are so abundant that it is possible to carry them this long dis tance and sell them at a lower cost in the markets of Boston. When the .9ra Id Trunk Pacific railway Is completed these fish wi go to Prince Rupert and thence to all parts of the United States and Can ada"
 Are the Alaskan fisheries we'll man. aged?"
 ''Yes. They are under the United States government and the fish commission con trols the planting and catching. As q re- suit the fisheries are being preserved and they will give us salmon for all time to come. We are now regulating the meth ods of catching and marketing and have our agents on the ground to see that our regulations are respected. We require li- cense taxes, but omit them upon all fish cries or fishing companies which return 1900 young salmon to the ocean for every 10 cases of salmon taken. Some of the canning interests have private hatcheries and are planting millions of young fish. The government has it's fisheries There is one at Yos bay, which during the past two years has let free 6l. .Oo0 900 salmon"

the Atlantic to the Pacific and some were brought from the great northwest tc Maine and other states. There are now large government hatcheries in 27 differ ent states, and the fish reared are in- creasing by the hundreds ot millions per annum. Since the establishment of the bureau, which was about 40 years ago, more than 2S0,00O,Oc0 eggs have been arti- ficially produced, and of these about half have been the output of the last six years. I am told also that this work is at it's beginning. and that if our waters are properly stocked and cared for we may yet shake our fists in the faces of the packing interests and live upon fish.
 New Fish Laws Needed
 The next Congress will be asked to make new laws for the protection of our fish in the streams and along the coasts, as well as to the proper management of our oyster farms During my stay in the offices of the fish commission I had a chat with Dr. Hugh M. Smith, the deputy commissioner. Dr. Smith is high authority on all such matters. He has travelled widely over the world looking up new fish and fish products, in order that they may be transplanted to the United States.
 He tells me that the states now have the right to control the protection and
 
 boundaries He thinks this should be given over to the national government, and says that many of the states are all lowing their fisheries to go to ruin. Take the shad, which gives us tens of millions of pounds of the most delicious food every year. 1t is the leading fish of our eastern seaboard, and 1t runs up the coastal streams of the Atlantic as the salmon does up those of the Pacific. The government has been doing what it can to plant the shad, and it has placed some- thing like 3O0,000,000 of the young in the various streams. All these fish were reared from eggs taken from fish caught for the markets and the flesh of the fish was eaten. As it is now in some of the states, the shad are tatens when they first enter the streams. The eggs are not ripe at that time and are useless to the hatcheries. The result is that the spawn takers must wait for the run farther up stream, and millions are lost. In North Carolina the fishermen so control tho streams that the greater part of the shad cannot go up the rivers to spawn. This was done to such an extent that the sup ply of North Carolina shad was greatly reduced The output fell to 5000, GOO when the officers of the bureau of fisheries went to the North Carolina legislature and secured certain protective laws. As
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-29

l a result, this year the catch has been b times as great as it was before those was were passed. and the shad are rap | idly growing In number.
 | The Potomac shad are almost unpro- | tected. There are fish nets running from Washington all the way down to Chesa- peake bay. The fishermen of Virginia run their nets as far as they can out into the middle of the Potomac. The Nary l land men do the same from the opposite bank, and in the middle of the stream nets are so stretched that they catch the shad which swim along the bottom. The result is that the Potomac river, which once had its shad by the tens of mill lions, had practically none this year, and this fish is likely to be exterminated as far as it is concerned Dr. Smith says that if a law were enacted keeping a strip One-third the width of the river free of nets enough shad would go up that strip to give us a plentiful supply. It is the same in many other parts of the United States.
 Fish Ponds for the Farmers
 The day will come when every farmer who has pond or stream on his place will raise his own fish. and at the same time produce fish for the markets. pr. Smith tells me that this is the case in many of the countries of Europe, and that it is so in Germany irrespective of the fact whether the farmer lives in the interior or along the sea- From Germany the fish commission has imported carp, and these are now being raised here in such quantities that they sell for more than million dollars a year. In 1908 43, ,O00, GOO pounds of them were caught in our public waters, and in addition a vast number were taken from private streams and ponds. fos
 Big Money in Oysters
 Some of the farmers of the south are now making money out of oysters. This is so all along the Atlantic coast and especially on the Louisiana shores of the Gulf of Mexico Uncle Sam's fishermen have explored those waters and shown the men how to smooth over the bed of the gulf in various places and cover it with such material that the oysters cling to.
 Dr. Smith tells me that upon many of these beds there had been no oysters be- fore, but that a year or two after their making they were producing them at the rate of about 200O bushels to the acre. Those oysters sold for 60 cents bushel. making the shore waters yield a product worth $1200 per acre, many times the money product of the best cotton or rico fields in any part of the south.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-29

"Yes, we have imported fish of various | kinds, and some have proved valuable. | have already spoken of the carp. This was brought in from Germany. It is an excellent fish for private culture end home consumption. and the carp ponds are increasing very rapidly
 We have also brought in a number of European trout. Moreover we are carry ing fish from one part of the United States to another. For instance the shad is now one of the most abundant food fishes of California. It can be found from Los Angeles to Alaska and it is about as common on our Pacific coast as on the Atlantic. This comes from .shad whlcn have been taken from the Atlantic and planted there. The total cost Of the eXpe- riment was something like Si0O0, and at the present date the shad taken out and marketed in that region runs high into the millions of pounds. It has netted the fishermen over a third of a million 1ol lars, which is big dividend on $40O0 in- vestment.
 Another fish which we have sent west is the striped bass, which we planted first in San Francisco bay. We tok less than 5C0 from New Jersey and from them the Pacific coast has been populated The bass has become the leading game fish cf California, and it can be bought at a lower price in San Francisco than in New York. The cost of transplanting it was less than S100O, and the value of the catch already sold has been more than q mill lion dollars. Uncle Sam threw 5000 into the water, and lol S1,0O0000 has come back It beats the bread of the Scriptures.
 We are also sending western fish to the east. We have taken the rainbow trout and distributed it throughout the 1iffer- ent states and territories and we are now trying to transplant Pacific salmon. It grows well and thrives in the lakes, but whether it will breed remained to be seen
 The Great Lakes
 How about the fish of the great lakes?''
 "They are valuable, but we have a great deal of trouble in controlling the indus try. because we have no national or in- ternational laws regarding it. Each state does as it pleases, and the Canadians do as they please. The result is that there is q great destruction of fish and espe- cially of the white fish and other valu- able varieties. Nevertheless we are an- nually getting 1S5,000000 pounds of fish from those lakes and our interior waters, and the greater part of this comes from the lakes. We are doing what we can to increase the lake supply We have one station on Lake Erie where in 1907 our collections of white fish eggs reached $
