In 1914 no eggs were collected In Ketchikan Creek, though a couple of million were collected at Quadra Bay, eyed in the Ketchikan hatchery and shipped out.

Seattle, August 3o-Shortly befo'e
 seven o'clock yesterday morning,
 while proceeding under the command
 of Pilot A. J. Bjorland from Pier
 A to Pier 14, steamer Paralso
 crashed into the steamer Admiral Watson, lying at the Bell Street
 Dock, smashing a hole fully ten feet wide in tho side of the latter yes sell The Watson sank at once, rest ing on tho bottom within fifteen min utes after being hit. John Miloe, a longshoreman was working in the forward hold at the time and was killed by the collapse of pile of heavy timbers which fell ,n him on
 account of the impact. The Watson was struck on the starboard side about midway between the mainmast
 and the after hatch, and the Pariso
 plowed through her for fully fifteen feet before she could be stopped
 She now rests on the bottom, her
 bow in about eighty feet of water,
 and her stern in about thirty feet, ! the harbor bed sloping at an angle of close to forty-five degrees at this place.
 Those on board the Pariso had ap.
 parcntly lost their way in the heavy fog and pail of forest fire smoke | which hid objects but fifty feet away
 and were not able to see the dock or the Watson until it was too late to avoid striking her. It is fortu- | nate that the accident did not occur fifteen minutes later, as at least a score of stevedores would have been at work by that time loading the vessel, and would have resulted in a greater loss of life. As it was the
 men were on the dock at the time
 with the exception of one or two About two hundred tons of freight,
 mostly heavy timbers for the Alas
 ka Railroad commission, fortunately
 was about all the freight that had | been loaded on board the Watson. The vessel will be raised and repair ed. In the interval, the Admiral. Farragut will be taken off the ruL | between Puget Sound and San Fra
 cisco, and will be sent north in tl
 Watson s place sailing from th
 port Sunday, Sept. 5.
 Later-It is estimated that it wi
 take from fifteen to thirty days
 raise the Watson. Salvage operatio | have been commenced and will
 pushed to the limit. It is expecte
 that the damage will amount to pr | bably sixty-five thousand dollars.

Word was received from Vancouver this morning that tug had left that port last night fer Ketchikan for the purpose of towing the Delhi from here to Prince Rupert. Which boat is coming was not stipulated in the wire, hut the expectations are it is the Lorne. She is one of the most powerful vessels operating out of Vancouver, and will arrive Monday. Capt. Tim is of the opinion that the Delhi is in good shape for the trip to Prince Rupert, and once there it will not be much of a task to straightcn her up on an even keel and put her in the dry dock. The rest will then be easy, and the prob abilities are the old ship will be back in commission again before snow flies next winter.
