That the sum of $5,130,000 was
invested during the year 1911 in the
fishing industry of Washington while
the output of the industry was $751;
200, 900 is shown by the annual report
of the state fish commissioner, John l..
Riseland, which has just been filed
with Gov. M. E. Hay. There were
employed in the fishing business dur
ing the same period 1857 persons,
whose net earnings amounted to $4,-
416, 700. The report shows also; that
from the Little Spokane and Lake
Chelan hatcheries more than / 500, 900
trout fry were sent out to stock the
waters OF the various counties with fish.
In Chelan county $4,000 young trout
have been planted from the Spokane
hatchery and 100000 from the Lake
Chelan hatchery.

COST OF RUNNING
STATE GOVERNMENT
Over Seven Million Dollars in Appro-
priatiOns for Various Departments
of the State

For conducting the affairs of the
state government for two years the
legislature of 1911 made appropria-
tons for the various departments to-
falling 1882, 900 and of this amount
in the year ending April /, 1912, S.
633, 900 has been spent and in addi-
ton S503, 900 has been expended for
new buildings, as is shown by state
ment compiled by c. w. Clausen,
state auditor, which shows that on the
other hand 81, 100000 has been col
lhcted by the various branches of the
state government. The sum Of $780,
900 has been used for the payment oil
old bonds, practically 100000 has
been spent for running the institutions
of higher learning and more than
100000 is to meet guaranteed inter
est, and when all deductions have
been made the actual cost of admins
tering the state government has been
only about S665,000. OF the appro-
priation of 1885, 900 made by the leg
islature for the Northern Washington
Hospital for the insane at Sedro-Wool-
ley, $4,000 has been spent for main
tenance and S84,946 for new build
ings, so that more than one half of the
appropriation is still unspent.
The statement shows that the insu-
rance commissioner has collected in
his Office the sum of s293,100, and
has spent only S21,643 to run the
office. The state tax commission has
collected $259,422 and spent only
SO, 900, and the hotel inspector has
spent 9,677 and collected $15,030,
while the state oil inspector has done
still better collecting $39,394 and
spending only S7,915.

the tide was coming in. So he pro-

What will those fishermen think oil

he protested. I'm going to explain

Sure enough as the boat passed the
fishermen on the piers Allen called
out: The lady needs exercised" And
the fishermen, approaching the situa-
