ton is necessary. for in the spring the
salmon is strangely delicate. So it is
that weighing them is entirely out of
the question.
The government has for years hired
a veteran fisherman to make the
rounds of the weirs on the little power
boat and keep account of the fish. All
the man had to 60 by was his judg-
ment, but he could tell by glance at
a fish, even in the semidarkness of the
car, about what it would weight-ten.
twelve, fourteen or perhaps sixteen or
eighteen pounds. 1t was guessing.
Perhaps the government officials in
Washington didn't approve Of paying
out money by guess. Whatever may
have been the conclusion, the gov
eminent guesser has lost his Job.
Hereafter twelve pounds will be the
fixed weight Of every salmon paid for.
1t may weigh eight pounds or It may
weigh twenty pounds, but the fisher
men are to be paid for twelve
pound fish and no more nor less. This
weight is below the average, as the
fish run, but, Of course, the fisherman
is not obliged to sell an eighteen or
twenty FOUNDER at the twelve-pound
basis to the government unless he
chooses. He can send 1t to the mar
kets.

this year, which, at the twelve-pound
standard will cost from 50 to $3.50 q

Is said the iron cages are necessary
for the safety of the money which the
clerks are counting, but the treasury
department has been running for
about 100 years with no such safe
guards, and there hasn't been 800

all, the clerks in that section OF the
treasury department haven't any
thing over the Camorrists who were
shut up in steel cages every day.
