Greatest Salmon
Run in Puget Sound
ouadrenniaI Migration Of Horde Of
Flsh From Fraser River Be-
gins on Pacific Coast.

SEATTLE June 2S-steamship
men report the approach Of the an
nuaI Sockeye salmon run, which this
year Is the quadrennial brig run. the
greatest fish migration in the world.
The fish now entering the Sound were
born four years ago.
When the first white men came to
the Northwest the Indians told them
Of this periodical big run, which had
been regular as far back as their
tribal legends went. 1t is the Ca
madam theory that the fish making
up the big run are Matched in Fraser
River and grow to maturity off the
west coast of Vancouver Island
Four years ago so many traps were
set for the mature fish that few were
able to enter the Fraser, and the
Cana dams have insisted that the big
run of 1913 would be a failure. Hence
there is international interest in the
size of the approaching swarms of
salmon.

Verses Tell How
'lmperatOr' Ought
to be Pronounced
Great Trouble Found With Largest
Liner Is That Everyone Gives
Her a Different Name.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-There is
one fault already found with the I'm
perator. the giant vessel Of the Ham
ourg-American line, which has Just
made her maiden voyage as the big
gest ship anoat. The trouble is no
one knows how to pronounce her
name.
Many think they DO, and as a result
she is called many things as Anderson
Hough, the author, who answers to
HUFF. How. Hoe, Huge and a few
other things.
In reply to inquiries as to the pro-
nunciation the publicity agent says
that the German pronunciation which
Is sanctioned by the modern Latin
lists makes the "a" in Imperator sound
like the "a" in father. The accent
is on the next syllable to the last
The poet laureate Of the line has
been 30 much puzzled by the variety
Of pronunciationB that he has cele-
brated them in verse Here are some
Of the coupiets:
Biggest ship upon the water,
Gorgeous, quetnly Imperator.
II you do not like that style of call
Ing the ship, perhaps the poet lau-
reate remarked, you may take this:
In the finest class we slate her,
Peerless, German Imperator.
And please" the poet said, do
not make peerless peerless" Then
after running his fingers through his
hair, the poet emitted and submitted
this:
Vastness! shaking senses totter!
Sea COLOSSUS, Imperator!
TO the tune of Dixie" said the
poet, we might get still another line
on the pronunciation by singing:
Buckwheat cakes and a little batter
Taste quite good on the Imperator!
