Classification of Public Land

The public-land problem of today.
whether viewed from the standpoint of
a federal officer or from that of a
private engineer, is of admins
tration and of legislation.
Not only is the engineer Interested in
the right classification Of land in order
that he may not be an accessory or
inStrument OF fraudulent practices, but
he does not wish to be connected with
an engineering project that involves
large economic waste. His professional
code opposes contributing his technical
skill to a mining development or an
irrigation scheme of a hy0ro-elcCtric
installation whose only possible pur-
pose is the taking of a promoters
profits before that day of reckoning
when the balance is struck between
cost and value. Therefore, we are all
alike interested in knowing the facts
of land classification that will prevent
the construction Of reservoirs and
canals for a Carey Act project, for eX-
ample, where the water supply is in

sufficient or the soil unsuited to irri-
cation. We viii agree that power
sites should he used as such and not
as hOmesteads; that mineral lands
should be acquired by mining men for
development and not by nonresident
capitalists for the timber value; that
irrigablc lands should be irrigated and
not dry farmcd; and that reservoir
sites should be used to promote irri-
CATION or power development and not
as cattle ranches.
If we agree upOn highest and most
beneficial use as the ideal sought by
the engineer, land classification be

that their work is at hand, and they
nlmbly spring to their stations.
First over the rail goes a small
yaWl, in which there is but one man,
the "striker,' and as he rows rapidly
toward the fir side of the fish the
darkies lower the purse boats from
the davits, jump in, seize the oars and
row to the near side of the fish, thus
putting the fish between the boats.
In h meantime the striker" has
carefully noted the direction in which
the fish are moving, and he heads
them off, turning them toward the
purse boats. 1t requires a consider

MAIDEN to drive them. Sometimes the
school declines to be driven, and
rushes past the striker in spite Of
his s%plashing with his oars. Again
the school dives deep, changes its
course n scapes.
AS a general rule, however the
striker is successful, and as soon as
ne sees the fish turn he shouts to
the purse boats, and they separate,
each boat paying out net until the
boats are 600 feet to 900 feet apart,
with their net 20 feet to % feet deep.
Then the two boats draw together
until they have completed a circle
around the fish.
Again ONE a bit of delicate work
for, although the fish may be encom-
passed, they are by no means caught.
and often the fish get away by diving
under the net. The the boats
are together the crew begins to haul
the purse lines, which draw together
the bottom edge of the net, Just like
a purse, and once the net is pursed
there is no escape for the fish.
Occasionally the fishermen will cap
ture a schOol of blue fish that have
been feeding on the menhaden, and

Every fishing vessel, steamer, gaso-

ever alert to pick out a school by
the slight ruffles on the water. There
is never any certainty as to the num-
Der of fish that may be in a school, for
some of the largest schools swim deep

some of the small schools are almost

is to come in about shutdown" there
tore, II there are only a few thousand
fish in the hold when darkness settles
the steamers make their way to the
factories. This is u largely to the
poor keeping qualities of the men,
haden, for, being so oily, they apidly
decompose when the weather is warm,
and in decomposing they lose much of
their value as scrap.
Therefore, as soon as a vessel is
loaded, or at shutdown, the fleet makes
its way to the factory, and when tied
up the work of unloading begins. The
steamers are unloaded with an endless
chain bucket in a chute, pretty much
like grain is handed. The big chute
or elevator is lowered into the hold.
ana a dozen or more men pitch-fork
the fish into it's mouth.
The elevator raises the fish to the
very top of the factory, and they are
automatically dumped into a box.
which holds almost an even 1000
fish. When the box is full a man
pulls a lever, which opens the bottom
of the box, n at the same time reg
listers l on an Indicator. AS the fish
drop from the box they fall on a
bucket carrier, which conveys them to
the big steam cookers, which have a
capacity of several thousand each.
After 80 minutes of cooking the fish
are run into the presses and squeezed
until they are mashed out of all re-
semblance to fish. 1t is at this point
that the oil and the fish separate, and
the fish becomes what is known as
scrap.
The oil is boiled and chemically
treated and pumped into tanks, where
1t is permitted to settle until ready to
be drawn into barrels and go on the
market.
The fish scrap is run from the
presses into long iron cylinders in
which there are coils of steam pipes,
called dryers, and after being thor
oughly heated and dried out, is run
through other cylinders and twisted by
big screW-like arms until it has cooled,
after which it is carried to the store
house, where it is bagged. In the
handling of the scrap mechanical con
veyor are employed, and not until it
reaches the storehouse is it touched
by human hands, and then only to be
bagged.
