facts regarding their height, or snow

above the water line. That Is, however
only technically true. Senator Smith, VINO

Fishina Concessions Granted.

For years past the Mexican government
has granted concessions for fishing on both
the Pacific and Gulf coasts. These conces-
sions have been granted without regard 10
tho nationality of the cCncessionaires ana
have been merely means OF raising reVe-
nue for the government. Americans, Ger
mans. Italians, Englishmen and Japanese
have all been granted these concessions
from time to time. one by one they nave
failed and other ambitious schemes nave
taken their place. The western coast Oh
Mexico ia literally strewn with the wrecks
Of fishing and canning companies. The
cost of operation has been excessive on ac-
count of difficulty Of obtaining water ana
supplies. while the product obtained mas
eep inferior To that obtained from other
waters.
The latest enterprise has been undertaken

succeed where others have failed. one OF
tho Japanese concessions extends IRON,
