FUTURE SALMON
CROP THREATENED
!. :. = !. :. :. !. :: :. !. = :. !, :. :.

The Department of Commerce -
much Interested in q report received
from British Columbia regarding q
catastrophe which has bcfallen the
salmon in the Fraser River. II APP
pears that during recent blasting OPP
6rations on the Canada Northern Rail
way large masses Of rock were dis
lodged and fell into one of the tribu-
taries of the Fraser River. completely
blocking the stream At that time the
sockeye CalmOn were ascending IN"
river 70 spawn. and q body of fish,
estimated to number not less than
100000 were intercepted ana all If
,hcm ultimately died before being able
10 deposit their egs. This species OF
salmon is very particular in the choice
Of its spawning grounds ana always
selects for this purpose streams which
are the feeders of lakes.
Great interest attaches to this mat
Ter because of the very extensive fish
cries ana canning plants IN Puget
Sound which are supported -Dy the an
nual runs OF spawning fish bound for
the upper waters Of the Fraser River.
Minor spawning grounds exist on sev-
eral streams in Washington but the
success Of the industry and the liveli-
hood of thousands of persons depends
on the fish which reach the headwa-
ters of the Fraser.
Assuming that half Of the intercept
ed fish were females, it has been com
puted that the shortage IN the egg
crop this season viii not be- less than
two to three billions. The effects of
this catastrophe. vii be seen three to-
five years hence. when the 1913 pro
geny come back 10 the rivers To spawn.
How serious the outcome will be can
only be surmised but in view Of the
large economic interests that are az
stake in both Washington and British
Columbia IL /. essential that extraor-
binary efforts he put forth In order
10 counteract the shortage as far as
possible The work of artificial pro-
pagation should be actively pushed,
and the fishery should be conducted
with greater consideration than ever
before Cor the maintenance Of the sup.
ply.

Senator Dixon. that he has held differ

sibly that is the case in this matter"
Senator MARITIME declared the demo-
cratic platform had been ratified by the
people: and Senator Dixon retorted that
Wilson had been elected by the smallest
percentage of votes ever given a Success
full President
If the senator can get any satisfaction
out of that he is welcome said MARITIME.
But he might just as we'll accept the
situation that the next President will be
a democrat
Senator Dixon declared he believed
there was greater danger TO the country
from the senatorial oligarchy of long
term senators than could ever come
through a President having a second term
in the White House
One of the substitute amendments that
had provoked the Dixon MARITIME debate
had been offered by Senator Williams

Senators Dixon and MARITIME Engage
in Snappy Controversy Over DEM

An attack on the proposed single six

did not believe there was any great pub

The Senate took up the Works resOlu-

GRAFT offered a provision that when the
amendment should be ratified the Presi-
dent then in office should be entitled TO

Wasn't it your understanding that

Senator Paynter returned the amend

Might Embarrass Wilson.

We are Offering something that is not
demanded by the people. except as that
demand flows from some personal ambi-
TONS declared Senator Dixon. Are
You democratic senators going to en-
barrass President Wilson by declaring
that no matter how good his administra-
ton may be- or how much the people may
desire him to serve again. he shall be de-
barred. in order to provide an opportun-
ity for others who want the presidential
office"
Senator Dixon could leave Woodrow
Wilson out of the debate as Mr.. Wilson
had announced his sympathy with the
democratic national platform, which in
dorses single presidential term.
HAS Woodrow Wilson said he would
not be a candidate for another term
asked Senator Dixon.
Not in SO many words, answered
MARITIME. but he has several times in
dorsed the expression of the democratic
PLATFORM
Was there any agreement with him
before he was nominated that he would
not accept another term"
Il know of no conference on that sub
ject. said Senator MARITIME.
Senator Dixon declared that the Amer
lean people will take care of the election
of a President. You need have no fear
on that ground" he said to the Senate.
Senator Dixon said he had heard that
the real author of the single term plank
in the democratic national platform was
IA man whose name began with Il. and
wasn't Beckham.
Senator Paynter. democrat, declined to
engage in any controversy on this point
say who wrote the single term plank.
Senator Dixon again demanded of Sena-
tor MARITIME whether Gov. Wilson had in
precise language limited himself to a
single term.
