LARGEST FISH
FARE RECORDED

| Portland, Me, July 6.-Three hun
dred and fifty thousand pounds of
mixed fish, the largest fare ever
brought into any port by one vessel at
one time, is now being discharged
from the holds of the beam trawler,
| East Hampton, at the Burnham &
| Morrill, plant, East Deering. This sin
gle fare certainly breaks all records
for the amount of fish brought into
this port and in the opinion Of fish,
ermen here has never been exceeded
at any other port. The previous rec
ord for this port was established by
the beam trawler, Long Island, which
recently landed 100000 pounds at the
Burnham & Morrill, plant.
Fishermen say that from $4,000
pounds to 100000 pounds is considered
an average fare, while the sailing YES
sells engaged in the fishing industry
at this port, seldom bring in over 50,-
600 pounds on a single trip.
The East Hampton Is one Of the
big beam trawlers built by the Port
land Co.. and which have been under
charter by the Burnham & Morrill, Co.
for a number of weeks. The steamers
were originally East Hampton and
Long Island. porgie steamers. but
were brought here and ref1tted as
beam trawlers and are two of the
largest and most able craft engaged
in the fishing industry on the Atlantic
coast

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
Tho Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to


Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee Of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull.
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation. recent
ly presented to President Wilson q
memorandum briefly reviewing the DIFF
fculties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public In supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an eilet-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted In general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum Is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such d
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tiyes say in part: by reason OF leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently of each other. as
well as through the action Of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses In
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism Is here made of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand, no In,
genuity can relieve the carriers OF ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson. In transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public. character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con.
finuing, said In part:
You ask me to call the attention
OF the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
] am glad to do so because ! think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and the
president Is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money Is factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate In the solu-
ton Of our railroad problems.

The FIums Of Elephant

Butte dam was closed January 9Th.
The dispatch says;
Construction during December
was in a great measure prelimin-
ary to closing the fiume and divert
ing the river through thedam. Ex-
ira gangs from quarries and ex-
cavation were for some time en-
gagged in tearing out the timber
sides of the fume to low water
level; drilling preparatory to
blasting for material TO effect the
closure; cleaning up the accumu-

handle seepage water; putting der

and carrying out numerous details

Preliminary to closing the fiume
a number of deep holes had been
drilled in the hillside Immediately
west Of the fume, near it's en-
trance. These were all loaded
and ready the day before. At 7:3Q
a. m January 9th, ihe blast was
set off. A large quantity Of ma
terial was thrown INTO the flume,
bat not as much as was expected.
for, from some unexplainable rea-
son, two OF the shots did dot go
off; but enough material went into

Several hundred men were put TO
work to close the gap, and by noon
the flow had been checked to such
an extent that work in the dam
section of the fume was possible.
A portion of the timber side OF
flume was taken off, letting the
seepage water flow into the sump
between the upper Golfer dam and
main dam, A low sand bag dam
was then put across the bottom OF
the fume and just upstream from

concrete forms, priviously built in
sections fourteen feet high were
placed by derrick. Preparation

and at six o'clock p. M. concreting
