give II all TO our readers, but time
and space forbid. Hosever we can
not refrain fTom quoting few Of the
many bouquets concerning the sal
moa bake and some 81 tue entertain
ment of that evening.

close ten tables about 10 feet IN
| length, on each end Of which ~as a
salmon fish baked whole, three feet
or more In length, ready for tue
knife OF an ofiiclal carver. Lets
not call II banquet, said the Sal
mon people; Lets call IL a salmo
bake. But what WAS itI IL per-

lative epicurians at any festal board.

when one stops TO consider the fact
that this banquet was served 10 q
