About the Name "Idaho.,

of the origin of the name Idaho, af-
firmed 1t an Indian word signifying
"the light or diadem on the line OF
the mountains" "In September,
1851" said Miller, when I rode into
the newly discovered gold camp to
establish an express office, took with

FISHERMAN TERRIBLY INJURED
Fish Patrol Launch
Chartered By State

A newly chart red 48-foot gasc-
line launch named Manila went into
commission July Is under the state
fisheries ad .1inistration. The yes
sci will be used FOR patrolling the
fishtrap regions during the sockeye
run. State Fish Commiss oner L.
H. Darwin is discussing the charter
of another vessel for the same pur
pose, and may have three boats on
patrol during the remainder of the
salmon run.
The state laws require all fish
traps shut down for thirty-six hours
each week curing the sockeye run,
and the patrol boats will be used to
see that the Law is complied with.
The traps must net operate from
4 o'clock Friday afternoon until 4
o'clock Sunday morning each week
and the reason is that this is the
only opportunity for the salmon to
reach their spawning places at Bak-
er Lake, which has its outlet into
the Skagit river and the Fraser riv-
er in British Columbia. The Skagit
river is the only American spaw-
ing bed in the Puget Sound region,
and during the thirty-six-hour res
pit from the trap operations many
fish get past and up into the propa-
eating places. 1heslaw relating to
the en- 3orced idle period of the fish
traps provides a penalty of $3.50 to
81, 900 in fines and a year imprison-
ment for violations.
Fish Commissioner Darwin says
that Architect Doan is now prepar-
ing plans for the new Lake Crescent
hatchery. for which the last legisla-
ture made an appropriation of 81.
0G0. 1t is practically certain that
the government will provide the
site for the new hatchery. and this
allows the full appropriation for
purposes of building and equipment
at the hatchery.
Another change about to be eff
fected by the fish commissioner will
be the moving of the cycling station
located on the North Fork Of the
Nooksack. The present site is not
conductive to the best results, and
Mr.. Darwin states that by moving
the station to adjacent property he
can increase last years output tf
2.308.000 to an annual output of
five million.
