Canneries Are Busy

Although heavy winds sweeping
across the banks retarded the op-
GRAFTON of fishtraps Friday, the
enormous run of sockeyes con-
tinued unabated. Individual purse
seiners, who are reaping the quad
rennial Sound harvest, were for
the greater part compelled to seek
shelter but the traps of the Pacific
American Fisheries. were worked
during the afternoon. giving up
considerably more than 100000
sockeyes. which were taken to the
Commercial point cannery that
night.
Fridays run was more than 100,
600. "We're getting all we can
handle and have quit counting
them" said Superintendent Bros
seau of the P. A. f.. ayl.y
Even under the adverse condi-
tions the Astoria & Puget Sound
cannery lifted one trap containing
100, 900 fish Friday morning. The
Carlisle cannery also reported that
its catch was more than 35 900 sock
eyes. and the Bellingham cannery
received 10000. Without a doubt
Fridays fishing would have proven
a record breaker had not the heavy
wind caused discontinuance Of fish
ing in the gulf and exposed points
OF the Sound. Many OF the small
Ter canneries Of the section are
buying their fish on the open mar
ket this season and this has caused
a revival of the purse seine indus
try. Cannery tenders from the
small plants call at the salmon banks
every day and purchase the catch
Of the fishermen. The purse sein-
ers receive Is cents each for their
FISH this season and if they continue
to make heavy catches many will
make small fortune durirg the
next few weeks.
Eighty-six thousand socke yes

Steamer Leaves
Dawson Loaded
With N MuShers

A Yukon river steamer sailed re-
Gently from Dawson with barge 10
tow. both crowded with men. dogs,
horses and outfits for the new White
river strike. The boat goes W the
White river to the mouth of the
Donjek. On top of the barge were
twenty polling boats. Others will
use horses from Donjek, though
some with polling boats hope to DC
able to pole sixty miles. after which
twenty t. forty miles of packing re-
main to the diggings. The boats
departure caused a great crowd to
gather, and the outfit looked like
the departure of steamers from
Seattle in 1898, as Yukon sleighs
and other outfits for winter, as well
as summer supplies. were aboard.
The company refused to sell tick
cts to the few women who made ap-
plications, but two slowed away
and are on the way. One woma.

Freight on Nasntlin includes
whisky. beer and brandy for a
proposed new roadhouse.
The mounted police expect TO
send a man to the vicinity of the
boundary within few days to in
sure order along the trail.
1t is predicted by the manager
of one of the largest trading COM
panies that there will be 5000 men
in the new district to winter. The
same company has sent men to in
vestigate the field and ascertain the
practicability of laying down sup
plies at the nearest base for Wisster

To Raise Holsters Here

Whether the waters of Puget

the federal government within a
short time. Steps are now being
taken for the planting Of q large
quantity in the deep waters Of the
San Juan islands by the United

The PURSE SEINERS

and gear were paid their allotted
four shares. The members of the
crew made out of that one haul
500 each. The haul was made
in the morning and the boat after
unloading on the cannery tender,
went out again. At this writing
she has not returned. If it should
have made another hauI during the
afternoon equal to the morning
catch she will have broken record.
While these boats are owned by
the captain many if not most Of
them are built by money loaned by
the canneries. The traps sometimes
make great catches and then again
they get nothing at all.
Men will know all about the minds
of women long before they will be
able to forecast the course of the
fish. If the fish strike in where the
traps are located-well and goo d.
If they don't-and they don't as
often as they do-the trap loses.
And the cannery. which must get
the fish during the short time they
are running in the Sound also loses
if dependent on that trap. But the
purse seiner is not under the hand
leap of immobility. He carries his
trap on the stern of his boat and if
the fish cont run where he is he
cranks up his engine and goes where
they are. For the reason of their
surety Of a catch the purse seiners
have been encouraged by the can
:neries and aided in building more
and better boats until this year the
banks are overcrowded and the fish
ermen mourn for the good old days
when there was room for ali.
Each man Of every crew brings
to the banks with him his barrel of
wine. Some of the men live aboard
the boat and many in tents ashore
at Kanaka Bay where there is ver-
liable canvas city during the short
season of the big run. The purse
seiner's Sunday begins at four
o'clock Friday afternoon and lasts
until four o'clock Sunday morning.
Where the fish are running and
everyone is making big money this
is the time of much joy and more
wine ashore. The fishermen gather
on the Leach, sing their native
songs. dance, drink, stage wrestling
bouts and cockfights and hold big
carnival generally. Be it said to-
the credit of these newcomers to
our shores that in all the time |
spent among them at Kanaka Bay
on San Juan island, where upward
of thousand are gathered saw
not one fight and the only horrible
example of bestial drunkenness was
furnished by nondescript beach
comber who made me feel like
changing my name by-claiming ne
was Irish.

teresting feature of the great quad
rennial big sockeye salmon run
which occurs once in every four
years in Puget Sound waters is the
purse seiner. Eighteen years ago
there were but few of them on
the Sound, operating in rude forty
foot skiffs cared by a crew of eight
men. This summer on the salmon
banks in the Straits of San Juan De
Fuca there were between ESQ and
800 schooners averaging fifty feet
in length and of an average valua-
ton of $4,000.
The crews work on shares aud
some of the stories Of quick earn
inps tuld me while | was on the
banks this summer during the run
recall tales of the Alaska gold fields.
The members of the crew of the
high boat at the big runsfour years
ago made over $1,000 apiece for the
season lasting less than two months
It is not an unusual thing for a
crew during the big run to make
one haul worth $500 to $500. At
the longest the haul will not take
more than two hours.
The purse seiners are Austrians
for the most part with sprinkling
of Italians and few Scandinavians.
A large proportion of them are
newly arrived laborers speaking
little English and when one realizes
that their average individual earn
ings at any other work could not
be above two dollars daR. it is
easy to imagine what the big run
means to them.
Their earnings this year will
probably not be as great as they
were four years ago for the reason
that the banks are overcroW ded
with seine boats. / have stood on
the point at Kanaka Bay on the
southwestern shore of San Juan is
land and counted more than two
hundred boats up and down the
shore line. They carry nets from
fifteen to eighteen hundred feet in
length and the confusion resultant
when that many boats carving nets
of that length attempt to operate
on a small surface of water where
the salmon happen to be the thick
est may be imagine Great as the
run is, except at it's very height,
there are not enough fish to fill the
great maws of all those nets spread
up and down the banks for dis
tance of ten or twelve miles and out
into the straits for three or four
miles.
However on Sunday, August Sd.
one seine boat carrying crew OF
seven men took eight thousand fish
in one haul. It was estimated that
three thousand more escaped over
the corks. The fish were selling at
fifteen cents each so that one haul
brought $1,000 to be divided equally

TT you have not yet decided on the
form your Christmas decorations
shall take, consider the possibilities
in crepe papers. There seems to be a
bigger assortment Of designs this year
than eyer before, and the interesting
ways in which the papers can be used
are legion.
One design shows red poinsettias, and,
although these have been pictured in
crepe paper for many seasons, they are
always effective. They are scattered at
irregular distances over white ground.
There is a design of red Christmas
bells and holly wreaths. The wreaths are
arranged above the bells. and the same
design is carried out with both large and
small bells and wreaths.
In one paper an endless chain of rein
deer stand watching endless clocks on
endless mantels.
In another, red stockings are hung in
a row, and holly leaves intersperse them
generously.
In still another there is head of old
Santa Claus surrounded by wreath of
holly. This motif is repeated from one
end of the roll of paper to the other, and
at the top of the strip. above the wreaths
and Santas heads, little scenes of snowy
fields and houses are inset.
There is still another paper that lends
itself to decorating. This is red paper,
marked off in bricks.
Sets of napkins, cloths and doilies are
decorated with Christmas greens and
symbols in several patterns.
Crepe paper is easily manipulated. and
the clever woman can use 1T for all of
tAe Christmas decorations.
In the dining room Christmas morning
a strip of the paper showing stockings
hanging at the chimney might be fastened
across the dining room mantel-shelf. if
there is one, or in the hall or living room.
At dinner the tablecloth can be bordered
with Christmas bells or holly wreaths
or Santa Clauses cut out and pinned or
pasted on the cloth. The little bells
could be cut out and mounted on PASTE
board for place cards, and centerpiece
could be made of a square box covered
with the brick paper, like chimney

that the ornate gird1es leave little
more than yoke and pair of
sleeves to be supplied by other fabrics.
Therefore it is preferable to use white
instead of a dark color, although in
evening gowns the reverse is true.
Tu le the color of the skirt, is brought
up over the shoulders and arms with a
white net lining, and sometimes. in the
case of dark velvet evening gowns, there
is a broad panel of the velvet brought
up the middle of the back to the shout
ders, leaving only the sleeves and part
of the front to be made, in transparent
material
This fashion is particularly good for the
sale of separate blouses of white tulle, of
lace. and of the thinnest French batste,
