In loaded 12-point editorial set TIVE
columns. the Spokesman-Review jus
before the Washington bull moose pri
maries, appealed to the malcontents
of Spokane. "Vote in the bull moose
primaries. Be sure and vote" it said
Lets give Colonel Roosevelt vote
that will encourage him."
The primaries were held Saturday
Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Spokane
Sunday. This was the encouragement
he got:
According to the Spokesman's own
figures in precincts which gave re-
publican vote of $4,000 IN the prima-
ries four years ago 1868 votes were
cast
This vote was called out by bitter
nomination fight in which there were
four candidates for governor, five for
congressman, and two or three for
nearly every other office. In short
bull moose candidates were so many
that 1t is unkindly said nobody else
voted
The Spokesman Review states: 'In
Spokane county the best primaries OF
the whole state were held. The coun-
ty was better organized and bigger
vote was brought out"
Yet the better organized and big
ger" bull moose vote, in a bitter con-
test, was almost 10000 less than the
republican vote of Spokane county
four years ago, while the republican
vote in that county, because of the adj
mission of women to suffrage, and in
crease in population, has more than
doubled in that time.
That should be encouraging to the
colonel, shouldn't it?
But IL that of itself isn't enough
there is plenty more to be had. More
of the same kind.
In King county, in which Seattle
is situated, there are over $4,000 re-
publican votes.
ACCORDING 10 the fepl RESERVATIONS OF |
the Roosevelt contestants before the |
National Republican committee in their
soap box primary they polled $500 |
votes for the colonel. On Saturday
the bull moose primary registered
less than 5000 votes according to the
spokesman Review.

THE LOBSTER CROP.
Maine Coastal Waters Restocked in
Order 10 Increase II.

In the year 1910 there were taken
from the seacoast waters of Maine
more than 11OOO,OOO pounds of lobs-
ters. This year Maine, assisted by
the federal fisheries department. plant
ed 1872, 295, 600 baby Holsters the pre-
ceding years big crop was taken. The
Maine coastal waters once abounded
IN Holsters, and few people ever
thought the time for artificial prop
agation would become necessary. Like
the lunbermen, the lobster fishermen
took no heed for the future and every
body that desired caught Holsters right
ana left. Twenty-Five years ago
man i'm Bangor could eat freshly
broiled lobster plain" all day for 25
cents, and often then some would be
left over. For i'm those days the price
was "six-fo quarter Now, however
the price Is from 90 to % cents
pound with additions for the trim
mings"
II is also true that the Holsters
caught now are not so good as those Of
a quarter of century ago. The
reason is that smacks come no moro
to Bangor. and all the Holsters are
shipped by rail from the main catch
ing points. When IL looked as II the
lobster would soon become extinct In
Maine waters the state and federal
authorities began To repair the havoc
wrought by ignorant and greedy fish
ing, and from small beginnings the
system of artificial propagation has
now become n great work, conducted
with great energy, even enthusiasm,
and under scientific methods that have
triumphed over the poverty of nature.
The bearing mother Holsters arc
bought from the fishermen and put
into n pond at Boothbay harbor. built
for that purpose, and there kept until
such time as the eggs are in condi-
ton for Matching. They are then taxi
en- to the hatchery and stripped OF
their eggs, which are placed in big
lars for Matching. After the young
Holsters arc large enough and in prop
er condition they are taken to the To-
cation whence the mother lobster came
and liberated i'm the proportion of To-
600 TO each adult so taken. The babies
are placed in protected coves and
harbors. among eel grass wherever
possible. which locations are not much
freauented by their enemies. When
lobster 7ttains a decent size he can
fight his own battles and needs no

distribution Is Ceie by two little

pense to Maine is only about $4,000 a
year. and this season the Sheidrake
steamed more than 5000 miles. Besides
