the treaty between this country and
Canada, which was supposed to take
care of this situation, 1t has become
apparent that something must be
done on the American side looking
to the perpetuation of the Sockeyes,
which are being taken in increased
numbers every year by reason Of the
large increase in the number Of fish,
ing appliances placed in the waters.
THE Washington fisheries depart
ment proposes to catch the fish in
traps, tow them in live crates to the
Samish river where they will be con-
fined until such time as they con-
clude to make their way up that
stream for the purpose of depositing
their spawn. This leads them past
the hatchery, where they will be
again taken captive and their eggs
secured.

BOOM COMPANY SUES AGAIN
chehalis Concern Files Action Against
Washington for $4,000 Damages
on Preachers Slough

MONTESANO, May 27.-The Che
halls Boom company has filed anoth-
er suit against the Washington Boom
company, asking for $4,000 damages,
or $500 a month for the time the
latter company has been using Preach
ers slough for log storage.
A similar suit to this was ON for
trial during the last jury session, but
owing to some legal point was dis
missed on the motion of the plaintiff
during the trial. Before that, there
was another suit with the parties re-
versed in which the Washington COM
pany sought to condemn portions Of
Preachers slough.
n The Chehalis company is the pio-
Aeer boom company on the river. The
company is located on the
south side Of the river near the O.-W.
tracks. The former owns most Of the
land In the neighborhood ON both
banks OF the river, including most Of
the best psrts Of the sloughs on the

SMALL BOYS ARE PLucKv
Conductor on N. P. Gas Car Praises
Bravery and Goodness Displayed
BY Two Urchins

ELMA, May 27.-Conductor Will
burn Tairchild, who has the run be-
tween Hoquiam and McCleary on the
N. P. gas car, says that during his
whole experience in railroading he
has never seen more GOODNESS and
common sense shown than two small
lads about six years old displayed
Monday afternoon.
The freight train had just crossed
the long trestle over the Cloquallum
when two small boys, not realizing
that the gas car was behind them,
started to follow after the freight train
had passed. They had gotten about
onethird of the way across the bridge
when the gas car whistled for the
bridge.
Realizing their danger. instead Of
becoming excited they calmly took to
the fire barrels along the outer edge
of the trestle and climbed in. The
water almost reached the little lads
necks but they took the matter most

STROMMER SUES FOR
PROFITS ON CONTRACT
Claims He Would Have Made $475
on Graveling ocosta-eay City
Road; Job Cancelled

MONTEsANO. May ~. = Matt
strommer is suing the, county for
$4sb for loss he claims by the COM
missioners cancelling . contract he
had for graveling the Ocosta-Bay City
road. OF the claim $40 is for the cost
of his bond on the contract and the
balance is for the pront he failed to
make.
Strommer had the contract and sub
let It. The contract, was let last sum-
mer soon after the clearing and grad
ing was let to Caldwell. Unforeseen
obstacles delayed completion Of grad.
ing until the winter season. Later in
the winter an entry appears on the
auditors records that the contract for
graveling was cancelled by mutual
agreement.
Now Strommer brings suit for dam
ages for the cancellation Of his con-
tract, on the grounds he had sub-let
his contract at price that would
have made him $475.

Total $500. Isl zoo. 600 600

Now to find the number of killed
and wounded. To place the dead at
$4,000 seems like underestimating
after many reports of 100000 kill
ed" that have reached the United
States after certain prolonged bat
ties. But let precedent belle these
rumors.
To kill one soldier in war in re-
cent times has cost S2O.000-an av-
erage ranging from the $4,000 in
the Russo-Turkish war OF lS77-7S
to the $2l 900 of the Franco-Prns-
sian war OF fS70-71. The Russo
Japanese war. dividing the total
amount spent by the number of
men killed. gives $4,000 as the cost
of killing each man.
Then to divide $1,000, 200, 900
by $50. 900 gives $4,000 dead as
the answer. hut during the first
three months OF any war. when
deadly hand-to-hand fighting is fire.

trenched and protection Is greater,
twice AS many are Usually killed az
later. SO IN this war. Thus, to
3G0. 600 add one-half of the sum.
and $4,000 or the total of slain in
six months Is obtained.
About four times the number kill
ed are wounded, die of wounds or
are the victims of disease. Four
times $40 600 gives 2,160. eco as the
total of the wounded In six months.
Add 10 this the $40. 900 dead. and il
is shown that 100000 have been
incapacitated in half year. making
record for slaughter and carnage
without precedent since the begin
ming OF our glorious civilization.
In lS54-56, the crimean war, IL
took nearly two full years to kill
$4,000 men.
In lS61-65. our Civil War. four

ing lives and money with reckless
ness unparalleled in history.
How much has the first half year
cost in lives and in money?
No accurate figures on either are
available. But the statement Of
Lloyd-George that Great Britain
spends 100000 (s225,oO0. oO0)
pounds sterling every month. offers
fair ground for estimates. -.-.--..--
And these estimates give the to-
tai cost of the first six months of
the war as $1,000, 900. OO0-or fully
as much as the 1914 record crop OF
the United States is worth.
Remember. these are military
