X We might be allowed the liberty
we would remark, "a lobster is that
lobster buys" For the shellfish are
reported very scarce this year and,
more real sustenance in something
else-though we would not depreci-
ate the well-known mountaineering
qualities of the Maine crustacean.
one of the causes is the rapacious ap-
petite of the summer visitor for this
particular delicacy, but even more Sc
rious this year has been the effect of
several laws passed by the 10th Leg
slature. Several places to the east
ward have always been closed to lob
ster catching in the summer time.
These have been increased and on some
of the old places the closed season has
been heightened. 1t has been well for
the dealers in Portland and elsewhere
that their pounds We're well stocked or
in. As a result of the scarcity of the
fish, the few smackmen who are land
ing any of the crustaceans are re-
ceiving a better summer price for
them than for years. The dealers are
paying p cents pound out of the
smacks, which is three cents higher
than usual at this time. The eonsum-
er who buys his lobster of the retail
er is finding that his fish is costing
him considerably more than q cents a
pound; it is double that in some cases.

INTEREST IN STATE
FAIR RACE meet

Inquiries as to the race meet here
during state fair week and requests
for the premium list have been coming
in rapidly recently to Secretary
Phillips and prospects seem bright for
a big week, according to state fair as
sociation officials, says the Gazette.
John Mccoy, of Salt axe City, is
one of the latest to Indicate his inten-
tion of bringing string of horses
here for the speed trials. He is said
to have some fine running stock and
has written for information.
Several men owning trotting horses
at Bishop Creek, Cal, have also writ
ten for information and may send
their horses here. Another man has
written in from Lakeview, Ore.
A large force of men is working on
the fair grounds, part of them on the
track, part on the grand stand and
part in laying water pipes to connect
with the city mains.

DISCOVER GOLD IN SOUTH
ERN PACIFIC GRAVEL PIT

Gold, real yellow gold, pay dirt, like
that which set the forty miners wild
with excitement, has been found in
the Southern Pacific gravel pit at Cor
dova, California. And the men on the
job have lost no time in using their
spare hours to annex snug little sums
to their regular wages.
The fun began when the huge steam
shovel ran into an old river channel.
The Southern Pacific gets its material
for ballasting the right-of way at
Cordova, and loads the gravel into
freight ears with steam shovel. One
day, as the bucket tipped over with it's
load, workman saw something CLINT
in the sunshine. He passed the word
along to his fellows, and since then
every pick and shovel and pan in the
neighborhood has been pressed into
service, until the place looks like a
pioneer mining camp.
Cordova is in the heart of the gold
dredger region, near Folsom. Years
ago, the surface was scratched by
placer miners and washed with hy-
draulie jets. Then it was abandoned
because there were more attractive
fields elsewhere. With the invention
of dredgers, that could work eheaply
and profitably for a small proportion
of mineral, attention was again direct
ed to the district. In 1912, in all the
dredge fields of the state, something
like $S,000,000 was extracted. The
industry flourishes around Folsom and
Oroville and in Trinity and Shasta
counties.
The railroad company is not object
ing to its employees getting their share
of this richness and it is said that
jobs in the steam shovel gang are now
at premium. Only, T. II. Williams,
assistant division superintendent of
the Southern Pacific, couldn't under
stand for a long time what made his
men so unusually industrious, especial
ly after work when they were suppos-
ed to be so tired and worn out.

SEA LIONS DESTROY
LARGE NUMBER OF SALMON

The salmon fishers of Oregon COM
plain that every sea lion eats up 500
pounds of salmon a day. They have
little sympathy with the nature lovers
who would protect the sea lions from
determination, and, discouraged with
the results OF shooting them singly by
rifles, the Oregon authorities will blow
them by the whole beachfuls with
high explosives.
One OF the most charming of the al
ways delicious essays by Professor
Dallas Lore Sharp in a recent number
OF the Atlantic describes his visit to
the Three-Arch reservation off the
coast of Oregon, where the sea lions
and many varieties of sea fowl propa-
gate in security under the aegis of the
United States of America. while the
salmon fishermen, and even the gov
eminent custodian at the Three Arch
rocks, grumble at the nation for pre-
serving the sea lions for no purpose
that they can recognize except to re-
duce the salmon catch.
From bingham, Mass, to the Three
Arch rocks is distance not to be
measured by miles, says the professor.
. Instead of miles it was zones, ages,

into this haunt of wild sea fowl and
beast. Here was the primeval world,
the fresh and unaffrighted morning of
the fifth day. He is not insensible
to the salmon fisher s point of view.
He might see no good and sufficient
reason for protecting sea lions "were
/ an Astoria fisherman with the sea
lions pursuing the salmon into my
nets, as they occasionally do" With
gentle cynicism he says: cit is easy
in Boston to believe in sea lions in
Astoria. 1t is hard anywhere not to
believe in canned salmon.'' Yet he
makes an earnest plea for the saliva
tion of something of wild nature from
industrialism:
"Canned salmon let US have, but
let US also have the inspiration of the
virgin heath and the occasional re-
storation to cur primitive, elemental,
animal selves in returning now and
then to the clangor and confusion of
wild life on Three-Arch rocks. The
body feeds on cabbage; the spirit is
sustained by heather
The sea lions may continue to re-
produce their kind in peace under the
Stars and Stripes, but on the shores
of Oregon jars of powder strung to-
gether on an electric wire will be sunk
in the sand at intervals of FIVE feet,
and the pressing of button will de-
stroy hundreds of the voraeious con
sumers of salmon uneanned. The
state of Oregon care little for "the
primeval world, the fresh and un-
affrighted morning of the fifth day, -
and it cares very much about the i'm
portant industry which results in sup
plying the world with canned sal

SUES WESTERN 4ACIFIC
FOR 100000 DAMAGES

W. J. Dericks of Sparks has fled a
suit in the District Court against the
Western Pacific railroad for 100000
damages for injuries received in a
wreck near Elko last year, where, he
claims, he was made cripple for
life. He further alleges that he was
a trainman, but that he was riding
on a freight train as guest; that the
train got beyond control and that he
was aiding in setting the hand brakes
when the wreck occurred
Dericks is well known in Winnemuc
ca, having run out of this terminal
for some time up to a year ago.

Nevada FACTOR IN
SULPHUR OUTPUT

The production of sulphur in the
United States in 1912 was 303,472 long
tons, valued at $5.256,422, compared
with 265,664 long tons, valued at $4,-
7S7049, in 1911, according to w. c.
Phalen, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. The sulphur came from
Louisiana, Nevada and Wyoming. the
production of Louisiana being the
dominant factor in the domestic sui
phur industry.
During the last twelve years the
growth of the sulphur industry in the
United States has been phenomenal,
and the last seven years has seen the
dethronement of Sicily from the domi-
mating position she so long held in the
world s market Within this period
the United States has advanced from
the position of an unimportant pro-
ducer to that of one of the two leading
sulphur producers of the world, owing
entirely to the development of the sui
phur deposits in Louisiana. In 1900 the
sulphur production of the United
States amounted to 3,147 tons; the i'm
ports during that year were 167 ,696
tons, of which 166,s25 tons were elias.
sifed as crude sulphur chiefly from
Sicily. Thus the domestic production
in 1900 amounted to not quite 2 per
cent of the sulphur consumed. During
1912 the domestic production consti-
tuted more than 81 per cent of the
consumption and the imports amount
ed to less than 9 per cent. Moreover,
the imports of sulphur from Italy were
only 81 per cent of the total importa-
tion, and Japan was the leading ex-
porter of sulphur into the United
States, 81 per cent of the foreign sui
phur admitted having come from that
country. It seems safe to predict that
with the completion of the Panama
canal United States sulphur may prac-
tically displace foreign sulphur on the
Pacific coast.
An advance chapter on Sulphur for
just issued by the Geological Sur
vey, includes detailed descriptions of
the sulphur industry in Louisiana as
carried on by the Union Sulphur Co
and an outline of the extensions of
the company in Europe An account
of the beginning of the operations of
the Freeport Sulphur Co at Freeport
near Bryan Heights, Brazoria county
Texas, is also included This company
began operations in November. 1912
when an initial run was made. The
sulphur is to be obtained by process
similar to that employed in Louisiana
that is. it will be melted under
ground and pumped to the surface by
means of an air lift In Nevada the
sulphur comes from the town of Sui
phur, in Humboldt county. The Wyom
ing product comes from the Thermopo
lis district. A new deposit in Wyom-
ing is located in Park county, twelve
miles south of the deposits in Sunlight
Basin.

Will take four years of court procedure
to settle just what they mean, and that

Importers, he said, "have law
yers engaged for no other purpose
than to pick out flaws or alleged
flaws Of phraseology, and legal prece-
dents that have been established by
past court decisions will avail moth

The Democratic senators, in view of
the failure of the caucus to pass
stringent binding resolution, are go
ing to be permitted to vote for amend

according to claims made by the Re-
publicans.
Tlev express the belief that
amendments would pass the senate
cutting out free raw wool and free
sugar, but that the house conferees
would insist upon the original provis

yield, and that all the Democrats
finally would approve the conference
report.
