Fish Traps Are Less
 Detrimental Than Seines

the cannerymen there was very large attendance of working fishermen who are demanding the abolishment of the fish trap and other citizens who are interested in the question. Altogether there seemed to be greater interest manifested in this hearing than any that have preceded it.
 Mir. Forbes, after reading from re- port showing the salmon catches for a period covering several years went in- to his argument against the bill. In his locality there was no other method by which salmon could be caught, MT. Forbes said, and to prove it went into a learned discussion showing the hab- it's of the salmon. Fishing by gill net was only practicable in muddy waters where the fish could not see; purse seins were only useful when fish were in schools near the spawning grounds; while the trap must have clear water and be located some distance from the shore. In his locality there were no fresh water streams and the fish were caught long before they reached the spawning grounds; the traps could only intercept those that passed direct ly into the traps and even if located at favorable points would not always intercept the fish because their course through the water was effected by tid- al action and by prevailing winds.

 In the House the whole morning was given over to the consideration in com mittee of the whole to House Bill No. 9. Ingram's S.hour labor bill for work ing men. employed in the mining in- dustry. Ingersou offered an amend ment that practically eliminates all of the employees except those actually working in the mines. The men in mills. cyanide plants and auxiliary in- stitutions of the mining industry are excluded from participating in the benefits to be derived through the pas sage of the bill should the Ingersoll amendment pass.
 IngersoI made lengthy speech in support of his contention. The amend ment was opposed by Driscoll, Jones. Aldrich and Gaffney Mir. Gairney went into the subject at great length for the purpose of showing the injustice of passing an S-hour labor bill emas- culated as the amendment would leave

The surrender followed some of the flercest fighting that has taken place in the war. The Montene- grin officers deliberately sacrificed 200 men in forcing an opening for their forces to enter the Turkish trenches. This number of picked bomb.throwers, who were sent clamb- ering up the mountain, thre their death.dealing missiles right into the faces of the Turkish gunners, and made way for bayonet charge that carried everything before it.
